SynopsisOn 25 May 1967, in an obscure village of Bengal, nine men, women, and children died in police firing, while trying to take possession of the surplus land of a big landlord. It was a shock for a complacent nation that was oblivious to the plight of its peasants. It marked the beginning of the Naxalbari Movement. But why did they launch a battle against the mighty state? Had they read Marx, Lenin, and Mao? Were they sure of what they were fighting for?
