This dance-drama has been conceptualized, written, and directed by Guru Prasanna Kasthuri, the Artistic Director of Soorya Performing Arts, in St. Louis.

It reminds us of the not-to-be forgotten sacrifices of the brave men and women who fought valiantly to get India out of the shackles of British rule.
