This article provides an overview of the 2017 film "Rajjo" and discusses its core themes, including its portrayal of gender roles, the use of fable in exploring these themes, and the movement's significance. The article argues that Rajjo can be seen as an allegory for how patriarchy is maintained at home and in society while also offering a depiction of how it could potentially be dismantled. The author concludes by highlighting some themes that are raised throughout the film, recommending the script for further reading. In the 1960s and 1970s, a movement for women's rights took place in Rajasthan. The leaders of this movement were known as 'Rajjo', or women from the royal families. They marched across the desert with their followers, fighting for their right to live and work as they chose and challenging patriarchal norms. Although the movement is usually referred to as Rajjo Andolan, it is also known as "the female satyagraha". The term satyagraha was used by Mahatma Gandhi who believed India would be free when Indians followed 'truth' (satya) and non-violence (ahimsa). The film is based on the famous novel called "Rajjo" which was written by Nirmal Verma (author of Do Dooni Chaar) and based on experiences of activist Maya Singh (author of Aparichit). The story is about a woman called Maya Sing who is an activist and becomes involved in a movement for women's rights. She soon becomes friends with the leader of the movement and learns many lessons from her. The film is also based on true life stories like: "Rajjo" was released on 22 July 2017. "Rajjo" opened to a mixed response from the public. Rajeev Masand of News18 wrote that "Rajjo" was a "well-meaning and interesting film with a life-affirming message". However, the film had some negative reviews from critics who felt that "It [the film] provides very little insight into its characters or situations" and criticised the use of fable in the film. The film won best song at the Filmfare Awards 2017 for Ram Sampat's song, Aapko Chhupa Hai.The Rajput Society had condemned Mahatma Gandhi for wearing a dhoti and criticised him for marrying a Hindu woman. Rajputs in Bikaner have always been orthodox in their culture and customs. They still solemnise marriages within four degrees of consanguinity and practice a number of outdated customs. Sons are considered a gift from God so fathers feel no hesitation in selling their daughter to the highest bidder or even taking loans to arrange for their daughters' marriage. In the film, Kesar says, "I was born in a small Rajput town in Rajasthan called Nokha… I belong to the kshatriya caste — we're warriors — but we've never known violence. My father was an honest man and made ends meet by reading people's horoscopes and predicting their fate. cfa1e77820
