 Budhni Mejhan formally garlanded Nehru.When Budhni returned home to her village of Karbona, the village elders told her that since she had garlanded Nehru, she had effectively "married" him; and since Nehru wasn't a Santhal, she had married outside the community.As result of this "crime", she was chased out of the village and shunned by her family and neighbours.
