A Girl Named
Devika Devika Rajbans - India
Devika is a 20-year-old design student in Bombay. She's talented, ambitious and beautiful-born and bred in an India free from foreign rule and increasingly free from repressive social customs. Her family are not well-off and Devika is tempted by the possibility of marriage into the Westernised elite. But she wants to maintain contact with the traditional values of Indian village life. Our story follows her attempts to resolve this dilemma, which sometimes leads her into conflict with authority.
