Plot

[edit]

The story is based on the Singur - Nandigram violence which took place in the period of 2006 to 2007 in West Bengal. A peasant's movement starts against land acquisition policy by the Government for industrialisation. The government sticks to the point of acquiring land belonging to a factory. Party workers confront the farmers on the issue. Two women, Nandini and Radharani become the leaders of the uprising. Nandini is gang-raped and murdered and Radharani commits suicide. Those horrific incidents make villagers more united for their rights. Later Supreme Court of India orders to stop the land acquisition.[5]
