{"product_id":"shakuntika","title":"Shakuntika","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Indian society, a daughter is considered someone elses property. Such someone elses property is handed over as a gift to the groom, a virtually stranger, as a bride at the time of marriage. But we forget that the gift is not of the daughter, but of money or animals. The daughter is simply sent away from her home for her new life. Only the parents and grandparents of that family know the pain of a daughters departure from home after marriage. Her absence is felt constantly, like the vanishing sparrow, whose chirping fills the courtyard and its nest. That is why daughters are like a cool breeze, providing the most comforting support to their parents in times of grief or crisis. In our society, sons are still given priority over daughters, but we forget that when the time comes, daughters are the most helpful in times of joy and sorrow. Today, sparrows, or Shakuntikas, are disappearing from our courtyards and home porches. This novel is a narrative of the importance of this daughter. A narrative whose undertones resonate from beginning to end.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rajkamal Prakashan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45867467079878,"sku":"DADAX9389598222","price":12.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71SOAL9bL5L.jpg?v=1779376013","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/shakuntika","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
