Mission – Daku Jaggan

I finished making the last chapatti and then called everyone for eating. My hands are completely white with flour; I don’t even feel the knife cuts now. It has been 7 years since I married Jaggan and moved to this village.

Life is very simple and slow here. I wake up 4 am and get ready for a long day. I make food and send my children to school. I take care of the buffaloes. My husband mostly stays outside. His visits are random and filled with day long sex and hits.

He blames me for all his problems. Earlier I used to wait for him and he used to surprise me with gifts of jewellery and sarees. I used to wait for him for many different reasons. But now I loathe his visits and I feel very happy the day he leaves. He has grown old but his libido has only increased. I am sure he fucks random girl’s everyday but I don’t know what brings him back. I am a barren woman. I take care of his old mother and two children from his first wife.


In this village the girls have to wear the traditional ivory bangles. 15 on upper arm and 9 on lower arm. Also a nose ring, a central forehead ornament, silver toe rings on the middle toes and silver anklets with attached bells. Earrings are large, with additional small decorative chains and hanging miniature pendants. I have grown used to this slowly. Although I miss my younger days when I never gave to shits about wearing anything anywhere. Everything changed after I volunteered to go undercover to bust a dacoit gang in West M.P.

Jaggan, my husband, you know is the most wanted dacoit of MP for last 12 years. He started by killing his uncle over land and then he killed few landlords and quickly became a robin hood. The police tried everything from declaring huge award for any information about him, laying traps from him and sending girls to him. He always escaped; all informants were routinely found murdered in most gruesome ways. While all girls weren’t even looked upon.

Before the elections the CM promised to end Jaggan’s terror and appointed a very senior IPS officer to solve this terror. I do not know if it was my plain luck or this idiot officer’s stupidity that I ended here. I was hoping for a promotion from a Constable to S.I. but instead all I got is the designation of dacoit’s housewife.
