He has no job, no hope,no humanity or compassion left in his heart. His name is Ramesh. He gets a job at last in a Tea Plantation. His job is to make the workers work, by using his whip. And the first person he whips happen to be Ganga, a beautiful young girl whose big black innocent eyes disturb him. In his quarters at night; he is unpacking his kit. He shuffles about the room, arranging things, smoking, when out of the bustee comes a song, a long-forgotton song that awakeness bitter memories in his heart. "Stop it !" he shouts."Stop it !". The song dies in the air Gangas father is asking her to let the Babu sleep. Another day. A cluster of girls on the Plantation. Ramesh comes upon them with his whip,and finds a child snake-bitten.Gangas bitter taunts send him away, crestfallen. Ramesh and Ganga are on their way back from the fair, walking through the jungle. "Why do you get mad when you hear my song ?" asks Ganga. "You will not understand even if I tell you",replies Ramesh. But Ganga insists, and Ramesh tells her eveything,living the bitter moments of his past again. They walk on, silent and thinking,as darkness descends upon them.The beating of drums is heard far away. Then nearby,the growl of a tiger. They run for their lives, and spend the night upon a machan together, Comes the dawn. With chirping of birds, Ganga too sings-the same sweet song Ramesh hated to hear. But this time Ramesh does not shout at her. Instead he smiles. There has been a transformation. Ramesh realizes that he is in love with Ganga. It is the festival of Holi.SYLVIA ,the sister of the English manager of the Plantation, is beset by girls of the bushee and soaked in festive colours. Ramesh hears of the beating the girls would get for this crime;and he hastens to save his love from the wrath of the Sahebs. He saves Ganga,but he loses her love. For she is hated by her comrades for her association with Ramesh, and so she hates Ramesh. As a protest against this beating, the workers, encouraged by the sympathetic English Doctor Thomas, go on strike. Ramesh does not know what to do. He is torn between his love and his duty. At last he meets Ganga and in desperation proposes to her that they should both run away-to be alone with their love. But Ganga refuses to forsake her comrades. Midnight of a fateful day. Ganga is leading a torch-light procession of the workers heading for the Burra Sahebs bungalow. And on the steps of that bungalow stands Ramesh with a revolver in his hand. Thus lovers meet on the field of battle ! Ramesh has a surprise in stone for the Saheb. And the Saheb has a bullet in his rifle for -Ganga ! Once again Ramesh is on the road-but he is no longer alone. The memory of Ganga, the love of Ganga, the ideals of Ganga, shall always be with him as he marches on towards a new horizon. Director:K.
