Every face in the compartment of the Kolkata-bound train on June 30 had a broad smile. After all, these women were finally going home leaving behind the horrors they had experienced. These were the Bangladeshi women who had been sold into brothels in Mumbai, rescued by an NGO, and finally allowed back into their home countries by the Bangladesh High Commission.
The country’s High Commission had, last year, imposed a cruel rider for these women’s repatriation: should you have borne any child during your stay in India, you will have to leave him/her behind. The Bangladeshi authorities finally relented and allowed the women to enter the country, child in tow.
