The 21st April, 2010 Mirchpur burnings of Dalit houses and the setting ablaze of a father and his physically challenged daughter over a drunken brawl shows the Jat communitys' intensely rooted contempt for the lower castes which has led to the deepening of caste divisions in Haryana society. What we have to think is that whether this was a village brawl gone too far or a brazen display of power by the upper castes to intimidate the lower castes?
Based on the testimonies of the victims, the film proposes to show the destruction caused by the Jat violence both in terms of material and human life. The film brings to its audience an authentic account of the Mirchpur incident and its aftermath.
