It was Kuttamamma who was revolting against the Karnavan. Kuttamamma was a hard worker who works for the…

Aparajita: You know, whenever one talks of North Bengal, it is Darjeeling - the snow-capped mountains, beautiful forest bungalows, tea estates that comes to one’s mind. Next is Siliguri and NJP (New Jalpaiguri Station).

I was an activist in the days in question in this movie and all the thousands of revolutionary voices that were raised, back in the day, are more thoroughly crushed in this film than all the might of U.S. imperialist military, police, intelligence and public opinion creating machines…
