The epic story of a revolution without a gun. In her teens, Gita Ramaswamy escapes the brahminical clutches of her family that tried to cure her of Naxalism with shock treatment. She endures the horrors of the Emergency. She is disillusioned. But not without hope. In the 1980s, Gita starts living with agricultural labourers in Telangana. They are landless dalits, caught between a reddy and a hard place. They are in bondage, cheated out of land and all rights. They are in the mood to fight. Together, they take on the tyrannical landlords who brutalized the villages for generations.
