Ahalya, a sex hungry Hindu Brahman widow, defying sanctions of her religion, loved Sadruddin, a handsome Moslem millionaire and aspired to become his second wife. Sahara, Sadruddin's most beautiful sister married the courts clerk Abdul Hamid and became the happiest woman after years of loneliness as widow. Her son Poncho and Ahalya's daughter Ramola grew up as inseparable lovers since childhood. While being executed as sacrifice to Goddess Kali in the rainforest of Sudarbans, the British Police saved Badruddin, Sadruddin's younger brother and a suspect murderer of Ahalya's husband. Released from jail, Badruddin adopted Christian faith and married organist of the Church, Katyani. While the Viceroy Lord Mountbatten was negotiating India's independence with the political leaders in Delhi, these men and women were building up their castles of love and future in the city of Maldah in the province of Bengal. This is a harrowing tale of how their dreams and aspirations were torn between love, religion and politics when India was partitioned by the British for the Hindus and Moslems ushering a holocaust of communal riots in which a million lives were butchered and ten million became refugees.
