In order to rehabilitate the widow's of the massacred Thakur's in Behmai, the government opened an incense stick factory. Until killing the jailed Bandit Queen of Chambal, Lala Ram Thakurain reserved the last rite ritual to liberate the ashes of her husband via water and is organizing everyone with expecting help from Kalli. Damayanti initiated a discussion that why all massacred were only and only men, not women. Series of events, arguments, breakings and imputing illusion leads them to the rare truth that convict's act as if even indirectly causing crime without participation in it, is criminal. Lala Ram Thakurain gets cornered in the argument, and lastly remembering old memories of her childhood, remained as only a women. Along with the other eight women, she mixed the ashes of her husband into the materials of the incense sticks. Just like nature's justice, the ashes of behmai were mixed - in the incense sticks. All that remained were women, all nine of them. Liberated from caste, class and gender, remained burning women and incense stick.
