There was a man in India who made and developed sanitary pads for Indian women, and when he invented the machine, he got the patent right. But he doesn't want to make more money to sell patents, but to make more Indian women enjoy cheaper sanitary napkins and be healthier. He is the simple, kind, and great Arunachalam. When you see this, you must ask, is India really so poor? Can't the women there even afford sanitary pads? According to the information in the video: in 2001, women in India did not use sanitary pads widely, only 12% of them were using them.
This is because the price of sanitary napkins is very expensive, only imported ones cost 55 rupees, so many women cannot afford them. The male protagonist in the film loves his wife very much: when he sees her chopping onions with tears in his eyes, he will modify a toy to automatically cut it for her, sit on the back of the bicycle and make her a back chair, help his wife do laundry, pick Flowers made her headwear, so I didn’t understand when I saw her changing with cloth and hiding it under clothes to dry in the shade during her menstrual period. She went to the pharmacy to buy a pack of sanitary napkins for her, and asked a colleague to borrow 15 rupees. When his wife saw it, she was full of joy, but when she saw the price on the label, she was so frightened that she lost her soul and told him to return quickly.
Because I was afraid that my sister and mother would see that if everyone bought and used them, they would use up a lot of household expenses for sanitary napkins in a month. The male protagonist went to the pharmacy to retire, but the boss refused to let him. When a colleague in the unit accidentally suffered a work injury and the bleeding continued, he immediately took out a sanitary napkin to stop the bleeding. His behavior was appreciated by the doctor. The doctor told the male protagonist that during the German-French War in 1875, he had used tampons to stop the bleeding of the wounded, which was the most hygienic and effective method. The doctor also told the male protagonist that many women in India come to see gynecology every month, but the lack of clean sanitary pads leads to infertility or even death.
At this time, the male protagonist thought of his wife. During his monthly menstrual period, he would sleep in the outer room for 5 days due to traditional customs, saying that he was afraid of soiling the bed in the inner room. The male protagonist thought this custom was ridiculous, so he got some cotton, non-woven fabrics, and glue from friends, made a simple sanitary napkin, and wrapped it with lotus leaves and tied flowers, and gave it to his wife like a gift. But when the wife tried it, it was not ideal, and the skirt would leak and stain the skirt. Later, the male protagonist upgraded and thickened the sanitary napkin to prevent leakage.
The male protagonist tried to give his sister a try, but he was ashamed when his parents-in-law and family saw him. The male protagonist, who has repeatedly failed, did not give up. He came to the door of the medical school to ask the college students how they felt about trying it out, but few of them cooperated. The male protagonist sees a girl in the neighbor doing her coming-of-age ceremony, and sends her a homemade tampon. Unfortunately, at midnight, her mother finds out and yells at her, which attracts gossip from many neighbors. At this time, the wife of the male protagonist decided to leave him and leave this man who made her humiliated. Her reason was: Indian women would rather get sick than be humiliated.
The wife's idea is irrational, very extreme and vulgar. What is even more sad is that the male protagonist's mother also has serious feudal thoughts, which is also caused by the long-term low social status of Indian women. Just like a wife is willing to spend 57 rubles a month to pray to God for peace, and she is not willing to buy sanitary napkins for her health, so the liberation and future of Indian women still depend on men! Although the male protagonist is desperate and incomprehensible, he is still so tolerant that he considers the fault to be his own. He quit his job and left his hometown to study more and make a career to change his wife's mind.
He came to the university professor's house to do errands, and the professor's child found a lot of important information for him on the computer: sanitary napkins are not made of cotton, but a kind of plant fiber. The professor told the male protagonist that the amount of automatic machines for producing sanitary napkins was as high as millions, which made the male protagonist sigh: when will Indian women be able to use cheap sanitary napkins? After various debugging and testing, through four processes: breaking, pressing, viscose, and sterilization, a qualified sanitary pad was finally made.
By chance, it was used by a female college student named Parry. She was destined to be the noble man of the male lead. Not only did she help him promote sanitary pads, but she also went to various villages to find capable women for training. Let more Indian women know about sanitary pads, use sanitary pads, they only sell a pack of two rupees, who can't afford it? In this way, the "Parry" brand of sanitary napkins has won wide acclaim, and the male protagonist even put forward the goal of employment of 1 million Indian women, because he believes that money can make a man smile, but Acts of kindness can make more women smile!
The success of the male protagonist was invited by New York and gave a speech. When Parry wanted to kiss the male protagonist in the hallway, his wife's phone came, and the male protagonist went home. When they parted at the airport, the male protagonist made a choice: Parry made the male protagonist, and she will always be in my heart. When the loyal, kind, and wise man returned to his hometown after a long absence, the whole village came to welcome him warmly, and his wife hugged him tightly. The male protagonist was awarded the Lotus Medal by the government. He not only changed people's concept of feudal customs, but also changed the future destiny of all Indian women.
