I watched the movie "Partners in India" today, and I was deeply touched. The film tells the story of an ordinary man who loves his wife deeply. He is an ordinary repairman with only a junior high school education. For the health of his beloved wife, he developed a low-cost sanitary napkin production machine.
In India, women's menstrual period is considered unclean and defiles the gods, so women who are menstruating will consciously move their beds outside and avoid contact with any men, including their husbands, because they By default, they are "dirty" and cannot eat with their families. The kitchen is also a restricted area for them, and female students cannot go to school during their menstrual period.
Due to the dual repression of economy and traditional culture, they can only use old clothes, dirty rags, or even leaves and sawdust to solve the problem. The hygiene conditions are worrying, and they are easily infected with diseases and even death. The male protagonist Lakshmi, out of his unparalleled love for his wife, left his work aside and devoted himself to the "big business" of making sanitary napkins. But this road is not easy to walk. He is misunderstood by his family, despised by the villagers, and even hangs him. His wife can't stand his "madness" and returns to his parents' house... Various difficulties followed, but these did not overwhelm him. Because he wants to turn his wife's humiliation into respect, he has a deep sense of mission, he not only wants to make his wife dignified, but also make 600 million women in India dignified. After unremitting efforts, he succeeded and finally broke a The long-standing stereotype of the country.
