It touches on the inherent structural violence that plagues this city and country from the inside-out. I also appreciate your honesty in recognizing the larger issue at play here - Laxmi is sadly the latest victim of a long history of such acts, once perpetrated by a foreign occupier, and now fully embraced by the local homegrown elites.
