Journeys that compel us to introspect and leave us stunned are not beatific odysseys or intrepid sagas peppered with swashbuckling antics, but there is unvarnished truth-telling that emerges from them.

Certain travels are meant to challenge the way we perceive things, give us a fresh outlook on the stark reality and the ‘many worlds’ that coexist, albeit in isolation from one another, yet locked in an inexplicable interdependence.

One such journey was undertaken by me when I decided to visit villages in the states of Odisha and Gujarat to document the impact of land rights on women.
