Gour Hari Dastaan is a story of an Odisha freedom fighter, Gour Hari Das who made his way through a long battle of silent war that lasted for 32 years, against his own government to prove his patriotic association towards the nation. He fought for a certificate recognizing his work as a freedom fighter which took three full decades to arrive. At the age of 84, the much sought-after certificate, when it was ultimately awarded, was a bittersweet victory.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gourharidastaan.com/# |title=Official Website |access-date=26 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151013063922/http://www.gourharidastaan.com/# |archive-date=13 October 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
