Meaning
bonded slave, in essence, is the story of a slave who
captivated the heart of the prince, the Rajah of small
state in Rajasthan in the pre-independence era. The
infrastructure to support the Rajah’s pre-occupation
with the sex and pleasure of the flesh was the “Baandi”
and “Goli” system. There was bidding, no
matter what it cost them. There were so many harems
to provide the princes every kind of a variety of sexual
experience. If the “Baandis” got pregnant,
they would be married off to another male slave in the
Rajah’s service.
The serial portrays the life of one such “baandi”,
Meera , her trails and tribulation, her agonies and
her journey to hell and back.
The treatment would be realistic and an attempt would
be made to be as possible with regards to sets, costumes
and historical facts.
