Summary: Vimla Tyagi’s story is that of a good daughter, supportive wife and conscientious mother – the even tenor of whose life is suddenly turned upside down by the murder of her husband, on their daughter’s wedding day. Why was he killed? Did he have secret enemies? Vimla still does not know who killed him. The 1990s was one of the century’s most turbulent decades for India. Separatist threats from groups like the LTTE, Khalistanis, the Hizbul in J&K, and the armed insurgents of the north-east all besieged the PV Narasimha Rao government. In this setting, when a popular bureaucrat is gunned down in broad daylight and nobody knows why, one is likely to think, this can happen to anyone, even you and me. This is why Vitasta brings you the story of Vimla: The Everyday Indian Woman & Murder Most Foul.
