On an early June afternoon in Bajhera village, Uttar Pradesh, three young women — aged seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen — went to the Sharda river and did not return. When one slipped beneath the surface, the other two reached in after her, as people who love one another do, and the river claimed all three. Their story is as old as rivers themselves: the instinct to save another life, meeting the indifferent depth of moving water.
