Alice in Wonderland is the story of Alice in modern day India, trapped between traditional Indian practices that confine her and a version of contemporary India that she does not belong to. She is offered a marriage proposal that will give her financial support and stability in society. As she navigates through the world of Underland (“Wonderland”) she faces obstacles that give her the strength to make her own choices. When she emerges from Underland she says no to a marriage proposal she doesn’t see for herself, and sails away to create a life of her own.
