Ganjali village of Raichur district, Karnataka. In this village, 58-year-old Sabamma (does not apply surname) is sowing her maiden courtyard.
But it is the broom that repeatedly slips from his hand and falls. Every time she picks up the broom, her eyes go to the cut middle finger of her hand. She watches it for a while and then starts sweeping.
Sabamma sees this severed finger and goes away in the last days of her life. Showing her right hand, she says, "It's been almost 30 years. My husband was mad with anger and he cut my finger in one stroke just as he cuts a chicken."
The finger wound is healed. There is a stub at that place now. This now reminds her of the tortures of her husband, whom Sabamma passed away after enduring it. Her husband Hanumanta died three decades ago, Sabamma's only child born as a single child is no more. She died as soon as she was born.
Sabamma, a laborer in the farm, says, "My husband was an alcoholic. He used to drink me every day by drinking liquor. We had three acres of land but all were sold due to alcohol. After his death my mother-in-law sent me to maiden Given."
