The Struggle 'To Kill a Tiger'


Besides reading and writing, I also like to listen to podcasts and watch documentaries about people, countries, and cultures. I like to listen to political discussions but do not believe in politicians (especially, Nepalese) hence I desire not to talk and discuss it with others.


After my two hours of online classes, I searched for documentaries on Google to watch and I found one an award-winning called “To Kill a Tiger” directed by Nisha Pahuja.


At first, I thought it was just a documentary of rural Indian people’s lives and their ways of living but when I read the description my eyes started getting bigger and wider and I got interested.

I made a black coffee and started watching the documentary.


It was the documentary of a man’s struggle to give justice to his 13 years old loving daughter who was brutally raped by three boys.


The reason why I am writing ‘struggle’ is because being not that well educated, with local and rural belief systems and financial instability, it is as hard as taking a hundred kilos of rice grain to the top of the mountain but that does not mean it is impossible to achieve.


With the villager’s advice and suggestions one of the rapist boys decide to marry her but the girl and her father strongly refused the proposal thinking that would not be justice to the victim and the rapists could be free from their filthy misdeeds. The villagers were angry with the man and the family saying that he is unkind and selfish and that he is not forgiving the boys and giving them second chances or opportunities to better themselves. He ignored all the negative noises and kept struggling and fighting.


With the help of the ‘Woman and Child Support Organization’ he won the case. The rapist boys were jailed for twenty-five years in prison which is half of their ages and lives; a big loss for the farming family and the communities. The villagers were sad and wept but the Karma is real and they have to accept what they did.


I also do wish for the honor and welfare of the girls and women and I thought it was a very good lesson for the local, illiterate farmers who live under the unfair and corrupted systems; the systems that my grandparents and parents also had to experience; the system that I experienced; the aristocratic systems.
