== Plot ==
Jayesh Patel (lovingly called Jayeshbhai Jordaar by his daughter) is an educated man who lives with his father Pruthvish (the village sarpanch), his mother Jashoda, his pregnant wife Mudra and his modern daughter Siddhi in the fictional village of Pravingarh. The family hopes that the child is a boy, so that he could continue his lineage and become the next Gujarati Sarpanch after Jayesh. In a regular check up with the doctor, Jayesh learns that his second child is also a girl.

In a flashback, it is revealed that Siddhi's birth was forgiven because she was the firstborn, but after that, Mudra was forced to abort 6 female children in her womb in the past 9 years, for not being able to conceive a male heir. However, Jayesh, who strongly believes in having [[Equal rights for women|equal rights for both men and women]] decides not to inform his family as he wants the baby to be born.

He makes a plan to elope with Mudra and Siddhi to Laadopur, a fictional village in Haryana, whose entire population are males only. One day, Jashoda arranges a meeting with a doctor who could predict the gender for their child. Jayesh executes his plan in front of his parents, who believe that Mudra has kidnapped Jayesh (actually an act).

The story then follows about how Jayesh fights for the rights for his wife as well as all other ladies of his village.
