mother india Synopsis

It is the tale that is constantly repeated in real life. When Radha was married, her mother-in-law borrowed five hundred rupees from the village money-lender, Sukhilala. The payment plan was simple: each year, Sukhilala would get one-fourth of the crop they grew. That was what Radha's mother-in-law thought was the deal. Sukhilala had actually taken advantage of her lack of education and written in the contract that he would receive three quarters of the crop. When his evil came to light, the village elders, not wanting the police to come to the village, ruled in Sukhilala's favor. Mother India is the evergreen story of a family's struggle to survive against the evil of Sukhilala.

Radha belongs to a poor farmer's family. She gets married to Shyamu, also a farmer, and both begin their lives in harmony. Shyamu's mom borrows money from a local money-lender, Sukhilal, and agrees to provide him with three fourths of the farm produce in lieu of money, to which Sukhilal agrees to, and asks her to sign a document to this effect, which she does so, not knowing that she is signing away her farm produce, as well as her mortgaging her property. Unable to bear this unpleasantness, Shyamu disappears, leaving Radha alone to bring up two sons, Ramu and Birju. While Ramu is dependable and devoted to his mom, Birju is arrogant, and crass. Birju is against Sukhilal, and would like him to turn the family's land over to them, but Sukhilal won't. Birju attacks Sukhilal, and as a result is discommunicated from his village, and turns into a bandit, bent on vengeance against the deceptive Sukhilal, much to the sorrow and dismay of his mother and brother. While Radha is hopeful that her love will make Birju mend his ways, Birju on the other hand is planning something quite the opposite.
