Revathy Character Analysis

Miss Jebeen the Second’s birth mother who sends a letter to Jannat Guest House via Dr. Azad Bhartiya explaining who she is. A low-caste woman from a rural area in India, as a young girl Revathy always excels in school but lacks the resources to pay for her education. In government college, she is radicalized by Maoist Communists, and dedicates her entire life to the Communist cause. One day, she is captured by police, and raped and tortured. She escapes, but realizes that she is pregnant, which devastates her. She is ill throughout her entire pregnancy, and when Miss Jebeen the Second—whom she calls Udaya, which means “sunrise”—is born, Revathy considers killing her. However, she instead decides to give up the baby at the protest, where she sees many good people. After that, exhausted from so many years of struggle, Revathy returns home to die by her own hand. After reading her letter, Anjum gives Revathy a symbolic funeral service.
