Summary: Melodrama confronting the traditionalist Hindu Madhab Thakur (Choudhury) and his Westernised neighhour Mukherjee (Biswas). Mukherjee's son Rodi (Majumdar) and Thakur's daughter Malati (Haldar) run a school of traditional disciplines which they hope to develop into a nationwide institution. Their plans to marry receive a setback when Malati's elder sister is forced to marry a Brahmin, triggering a revolt by the younger generation of both households. Then Malati's marriage to a wealthy zamindar is arranged but eventually a happy ending and the triumph of a kind of syncretic modernity, reconciling Brahminism with Westerisation are achieved.
