At the age of ten months, Sulekha accidently fell of the cot and bumped her head, which damaged some part of her brain. Then forth people started calling her Bholi, the simpleton.
WAAAAAAWAAAAA!!
Ramlal, Bholi's father, had three sons and four daughters. All the children except Bholi were healthy and strong. Some of her sisters were married.
When Bholi was seven years old, a primary school for girls opened up. The Tehsildar came for the opening ceremony. He urged to Ramlal that he must send his daughters to school . Ramlal discussed the same to his wife
Send Bholi to school. There is the least chance of her getting married with her ugly face and lack of sense
Are you crazy! If the girls go to school, who will marry them.
Bholi was sent to school , where she saw many girls of her own age. She hoped that one of these girls would become her friend.
What's your name , little one?
Don't worry in time, I will make you the most learned person in town.
Bh - Bho - Bho - Bholi...
After some years, Bholi had got a marriage proposal from Bishamber Nath. During the wedding , Bishamber on seeing Bholi's pock marks, started demanding dowry. Ramlal fell to his feet, pleading.
If you don't pay the dowry of 5 thousand rupees, I won't marry her
Please don't, I don't have that much money
To everyone's surprise, Bholi started talking sternly at the groom. The teacher, who had been watching her all the time, had a deep satisfaction that an artist feels when contemplating the completion of her masterpiece.
You have grown into a strong, independent woman
Pitaji, I won't marry this lame man. I don't want such a mean ,and greedy person as my husband, for the sake of your izzat...
