Summary: Ramaki (Sulochana), a poor scheduled caste
girl, has an illegitimate daughter by
Manekchand, the son of the wealthy
Krishnadas. She seeks refuge with a nautch girl:
Krishnadas, who also wants to possess Ramaki,
dies trying to kill her. Ramaki then seeks shelter
with a young Muslim but they perish in a fire.
Her daughter, along with the Muslim's son
(Jagtap), is raised by a nomad, Garibdas Sadhu
(Makanda), a character made to look like
Gandhi. The youngsters are hired as factoty
hands by Manekchand who unwittingly falls in
love with his own daughter and appropriates
land belonging to Garibdas. 'When the latter
finally curses the greedy Manekchand, a dam
bursts, wiping out Manekchand and his
property. Although the film focused on the
evils of the caste system, censorship troubles
arose from Garibdas' deliberate resemblance to Gandhi.
