The movie depicts British India's reign over Assam in 1942. A distant village's Congress unit decided to destroy a railway after misinterpreting Mahatma Gandhi's call for nonviolent political action. Kuhkhal Konwar (Kushal Konwar), who was that unit's president at the time, recognised the core of Gandhi's message and attempted to persuade his committee to reject such a sabotage scheme but was unsuccessful. Kuhkhal admitted that he was morally totally responsible for the crime. The district's then-British administrator, C. A. Humphrey, was looking for a significant scapegoat, and Kuhkhal was the ideal choice because, in addition to being trustworthy, he was also a member of an influential royal Assamese clan. He could be used as an example.
