As a forced disciple of a Jogta-an outward female form possessing a male-body person, it took Valli a decade to learn that his true masculine self has been trapped in the garb of his highly marginalized and exploited Jogta custom. During this, Vali suffered several physical assaults, social mockery, and public persecution. He finally abandons his Jogta custom and escapes with Tara, living an equally miserable life. Only to get engulfed by the new realities of urban life.
