Independence asked for a lot of sacrifice from our
leaders, common men, women as well as children.
Many people died and were left behind mourning
remnants of the family. But it was not only the British whom we needed independence from. We also needed freedom from discrimination and prejudice based on caste, status, and religion which still keep lingering in modern India. The characters may not be real but the stories are based on true circumstances. And the truth is seldom pleasant.... CHILDREN WHO LOST THEIR PARENTS FAMILIES WHO WERE SEPARATED
PEOPLE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY
WISHES THAT REMAINED UNFULFILLED
DENIAL CLOUDING THE TRUTH
