Plot

Nirmala is the eldest daughter of Rai Bahadur Dina Nath. Mother of Nirmala and Rukmani nourish the dream of putting an end to the tyranny of the foreign rulers of the country. The rulers have adopted clandestine designs of divide and rule, virtually divided the entire society into privileged (favorites of the rulers) and under privileged (poor and ignored). Nirmala's father, Dina Nath, belongs to this elite privileged lot having been groomed thoroughly pro-British. Nirmala decides to devote her prime youth for the struggle to end this injustice to Indians and follows Gandhi's ideology. Her younger sister Rukmani is a revolutionary and is an ardent follower of Netaji Subash Chander Bose's ideas of action to achieve fundamental rights to end slavery. Both the sisters strive secretly for a common goal in different ways.

Rukmani meets Ali Khan who is a revolutionary and in police custody. She rescues him in a well planned daring encounter with police while Ali Khan was being secretly shifted from one jail to another. This feat earned her a great respect and trust to become an important member of the revolutionary party. Ranjit of Bengal is a pivotal force who circumvents the powerful British intelligence and further manipulates the gathered information to the advantage of the revolutionary party. He uses his influences to motivate the common people to join in the struggle to end the rule of tyranny.

On the intellectual side there are two contrasting lawyers;

Darshan Lal who has studied law in England and opted to sacrifice a promising future for the freedom of his motherland. He was deported to Kala Pani (an isolated jail in an island in the Bay of Bengal) and could manage to jump from the ship.

Advocate P.C Das a prominent and charismatic ace lawyer who fights fiercely for the rights of his clients, religion no bound. He is known to be generous and fair and hold an unwavering fervour for his country and countrymen.

Further, The tiger of Punjab, Kartar Singh represented the strong nationalistic emotions of brave Punjabis. All sorts of tortures tried on him in Kala Pani could not deter him from pursuing the ultimate goal of freedom from slavery of India. His determination served as a role model to all the revolutionaries. He meticulously planned the elimination of the obstacles and always considered all the British as his enemy number one. He was ably helped in his missions by his capable dedicated daughter Vidya.

Sarojini Sen a socialite of Bengal who moves in high circles of British Government is a sympathizer of the movement and becomes very handy for small favors from government officials.

A British Superintendent of Police Peter Gomes is a terror. Being Anglo Indian, he considers himself British. He is cruel toward freedom fighters. He is loyal to the British Raj.

A notorious dacoit Bhima ruled an area with terror of his gun, accidentally meets revolutionary Veeru who gradually prevailed upon him to channel his might towards the life giving stream – freedom, rather than his present profession of killing the innocent countrymen. He subsequently became a firebrand revolutionary.

The dedicated untiring efforts of the above few brave heroes along with the participation of thousands of countrymen directly and indirectly could put an end to colonialism.
