Observer ___________________ A masterly and agenda-setting inquest into how the deaths of two
teenage girls shone a light into the darkest corners of a nation Katra Sadatganj. A tiny
village in western Uttar Pradesh. A community bounded by tradition and custom  where young
women are watched closely  and know what is expected of them. It was an ordinary night when two
girls  Padma and Lalli  went missing. The next day  their bodies were found - hanging in the
orchard  their clothes muddied. In the ensuing months  the investigation into their deaths
would implode everything that their small community held to be true  and instigated a national
conversation about sex  honour and violence. The Good Girls returns to the scene of Padma and
Lalli's short lives and shocking deaths  daring to ask: what is the human cost of shame?
