The World Before Her is a film of hope and dreams for Indian women. Let's examine two girls with different paths but a common goal, empowerment. This term conveys a wide range of interpretations and definitions, one of which is power over oneself. Both Prachi and Ruhi demonstrate a desire for female empowerment, but both have different opinions on how to achieve this goal. Prachi believes that the way to achieve empowerment is through her mind and strength, while still limiting herself to the traditional views of Indian culture. Ruhi wishes to achieve female empowerment by exposing her beauty in a non-conservative way while maintaining her Indian identity. Prachi, a Hindu militant living in rural India, believes Hindu life is for her. In a Hindu camp he preaches resistance to Islam, Christianity and Western culture. Prachi is strongly committed to defending her beliefs and would not hesitate to use violence. In this camp, Prachi and the girls are taught to use firearms and fight. This training made Prachi believe that she was capable of killing and ready to risk her life in defense of Hinduism. Her dedication to Hinduism led Prachi to question God's desire for her. She states: “I'm different from girls, I'm different from boys. My life is not about getting married, having children. I have the feeling that I was not created by God for these things” (Prachi). With this statement Prachi reveals a lack of sexual continuity and this leads us to consider that her sexual identity had an impact on her choice to live her life this way. Being surrounded by so much violence has made Prachi tough and the treatment she receives from her father has made her strong. Her father does not allow her to cry, he believes it shows weakness. He... middle of paper... something she wants to still be confined to some extent in her tradition. Throughout the show, their morals are called into question as contestants on the show are asked to do things that mainstream perceive as immoral, such as modeling a swimsuit. When comparing traditional women with modern women, we perceive differences and similarities. Prachi fights for a belief system that controls her, while Ruhi struggles with her identity and depends on the beauty pageant to empower herself as an Indian woman. Prachi defends Hinduism but, at the same time, it is Hinduism that prevents her from becoming “modern”. Ruhi on the other hand considers herself a very modern girl and values ​​freedom, so the show is a path to liberation for her. Both girls struggle in distinct ways, but their goal is similar: to shape the future of their country.
