A widow waits for food at a home, in Vrindavan, 160 kilometres (100 miles) south of New Delhi India, Tuesday May 9, 2006. In India, for all of its recent modernization and openness to foreign cultures, being a widow remains one of the worst stigmas a woman can endure, and women are far from equal here. When her husband dies, the widow often becomes a pariah, excluded from family gatherings for fear the mere fall of her shadow will bring bad luck and tragedy. In the North, many journey to the holy cities of Vrindavan and Varanasi, where they beg, and are paid a pittance to recite prayers in the temple. Indian-born director Deepa Mehta’s movie “Water,” depicts the harsh treatment of Indian widows in the 1930’s. Mehta who was forced to shift the shooting of a film from an Indian town to Sri Lanka after aggressive protests by Hindu nationalists, says Indians are scared of questioning their traditions.
