In India, evil acts of human sacrifice are not uncommon, with young girls being the most frequent victims. Such cases are often reported in the news.
And for every reported case, who knows how many more go unreported. Furthermore, India still preserves a very cruel "tradition"—that of the "Saintess."
The "Saintess" of India is anything but a noble station. The moment a girl is chosen, the gears of her tragic destiny begin to turn.
