Abstract
When Raji went home to deliver the rations, she confided to her husband Allah Rakha “The younger Sardarni is unable to see through the elder Sardarni’s games. She doesn’t understand why the elder one always coaxes her to eat well — it’s because the elder one wants her to grow fat and ugly. I told her to fast every Friday.”
