Displaced Roots

After independence, a political line was drawn to divide Bengal province. Overnight, the earth was changed for the people who had been living there. Massive displacement of the population started, and it didn’t stop even after two decades.  NARENDRA’s birthplace fights against their own foreign rulers to protect their language and identity. The revolution was based on language and was known as ‘Bhasha Andolan’. At the age of only fifteen years, he displaces from his roots and crosses the border, having no choice other than to leave his homeland and father alone.  NARENDRA and ARPANA are away thousands of miles from Bangla land. They’re extremely happy with the limited luxuriousness. But in a corner of their hearts, feeling helpless in the face of distance and border, they share a common dream to return to their origin. However, the same land of Bangla speaking people is unfamiliar and unwelcome for their kids.
