The soil of Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, becomes a graveyard for Kalyani's dreams. The solitary Jamun tree in the garden recognises her. Clinging to the tree, Kalyani weeps inconsolably. Kalyani is a symbol of humanity that loses its way due to the artificial divisions caused by politics and religion. This story is not about the Indian sub-continent alone. It is a story of conflict-ridden Middle East Asia, tribally-divided Africa and racially-riven Europe. Kalyani as presented by Taslima Nasreen is a symbol of global life today.
