Synopsis
The film centres on the Gurjar population. Since India's independence, the Gurjar community had been demanding reservation for itself. However, the government ignored the demands. After fifty years of peaceful protest, the Gurjars made Pradhan Ji their leader and took a more radical approach. The chief minister thought about giving reservation to the Gurjar community, but the other caste leader, Nagina Singh, threatened the chief minister with withdrawal of support from his party, burying the idea. For this reason the angry Gurjars burned train tracks under Ji's leadership, breaking the rail connection between the financial capital Mumbai and Delhi. As the news of this movement began to resonate in India as well as abroad, the state government used the police force to suppress this movement, killing 72. The Gurjar society continued to demand its reservation in a peaceful manner.Cast
