India's Forbidden Love

In March 2016, Kausalya and her husband Shankar were brutally attacked on a crowded street in southern India.

Shankar, who came from what is considered a lower caste, died of his injuries. Kausalya survived and accused her parents of orchestrating an honour killing.

This EMMY nominated film, for Al Jazeera’s Witness strand, follows Kausalya as she fights for justice through the courts, testifying against her parents in a trial where they face the death penalty.
