So, you got the idea from a small news item?

I read that a low caste woman, in a small village near Kanpur, was gangraped and burnt alive. Her only crime was her son fell in love with a girl of a higher caste.

Look at the double standards -- they didn't even touch the man!

(Santoshi visited Bhavaninagari, near Kanpur, before making the film, and chose Rekha to play the low class woman's role.
Rekha plays Ramdulari.)
