Why The Mrs Chatterjee Vs. Norway Case Is Still So Controversial

Over ten years later, the Mrs. Chatterjee Vs. Norway case is still controversial. The film is based on Sagarika Chakraborty’s fight to regain custody of her children after they were taken from her by Norwegian Child Welfare Services in 2011, with Debika Chatterjee (Rani Mujerki) representing Chakraborty as a fearless mother adjusting to a new life with her husband and two young children in a foreign country. It alleges that due to typical Indian cultural norms, such as co-sleeping of children and parents and parents hand-feeding their children food, the Norwegian government decided that they were unfit and placed the children in foster care.
