It's almost ironic to think that Rajni was born into the circumstances that she was. In 1928 on a warm day in September, Rajni entered the world in a dirty, bloody mess. Little did she know that she would be labeled as just that for the next five years of her life. Not only born into a very decisive time for Indian history, she was also born an untouchable - considered to be so dirty that the other castes in the Indian Caste System would not dare to touch her for fear of dirtying themselves. She was not allowed to drink from the same water source as others, attend the same temples, or even wear shoes in the presence of an upper caste member. Her and her large family lived in constant fear of abuse if they happened to accidentally offend anyone of a higher caste than them. On top of all of this, her entire family was living in poverty. Her family could not afford to have any unemployed children, so as soon as Rajni could walk and understand simple instruction, she was sent to work in the fields, collecting dung to burn in fires for a merchant who would never touch his wares. This was only when she was two years old.
By the time she was three and a half, she had already lost two of her older sisters who had been paraded naked through the streets and then raped brutally until dead. Of course, being the age she was, she did not understand what had happened to them, and had barely noticed their absence. Their shack of a home was torched when she was four, and they were forced to relocate to a shared living space that was a small slice of Hell on earth. Disease spread like a wildfire and the whole place stank constantly. Rajni still managed to have fun and play with her siblings, despite all of this, and although her long hours collecting dung under a hot sun were hard, she still managed to stay optimistic. Even her parents were rather surprised with how happy she was - no matter the situation. They raised her with their traditional values, praising the caste system that so damned them and the religion they weren't entirely sure they technically belonged to. These values set themselves deep within Rajni and haven't been removed, even in the present.
