History is a prickly subject now, perhaps even more so than in the late s.

It is at once history and philosophy, economic theory and social critique. Nehru frequently digresses from the events of the past to lay out his very strong ideas about Indian culture. Raina Radhagupta as Radhagupta …. Ila Arun Gangamma as Gangamma …. Lalit Tiwari Arjun as Arjun ….
