Bengal is starving. The great famine has emptied the granaries, the East India Company's tax collectors show no mercy, and in the forests a band of ascetic rebels called the Santans have taken up arms, bound by a vow to free their motherland or die trying. Among them is Mahendra, a householder torn from his family by hunger and drawn step by step into revolution. Bankimchandra's novel of armed uprising against colonial rule gave India the song 'Vande Mataram' and became a rallying cry for the independence movement decades after it was written, fusing devotion, sacrifice, and rebellion into a single incandescent story.
