Was Hidimba a victim of patriarchal mindset in an era where unwed mothers and their offspring roamed about without a stigma? Were egalitarianism and liberalism exclusive preserves of an exalted race or a class? Set in India of 3000 years ego, Hidimba is a unique and fascinating story of twirling web of emotions of fear and fearlessness, romance and panges of separation, justice and sacrifice, palace intrigue and deceit; and bewildering obfuscations of those who are supposed to uphold high morals.
