Storyline
Set in the turbulent 1930s, this is the story of a poor Chinese hawker selling his merchandise, Chinese silk, in the streets of Calcutta. This was the time when China was repulsing a brutal attack of militarist Japan and when an outraged Rabindranath Tagore wrote to his friend in Japan, the great poet Noguchi: βI wish your countrymen, whom I love so much, not success but remorseβ. This film holds the dubious distinction of being the first to be banned (though temporarily) in independent India.
