During the [[Partition of India]], the film tells the story of a truck driver, Tara Singh ([[Sunny Deol]]), a [[Sikh]], who falls in love with a [[Muslim]] girl, Sakina <nowiki>'' Sakku''</nowiki> Ali ([[Amisha Patel|Ameesha Patel]]), belonging to an aristocratic family. | During the [[Partition of India]], the film tells the story of a truck driver, Tara Singh ([[Sunny Deol]]), a [[Jat Sikh]], who falls in love with a [[Muslim]] girl, Sakina <nowiki>'' Sakku''</nowiki> Ali ([[Amisha Patel|Ameesha Patel]]), belonging to an aristocratic family. | ||
The story begins with Sikhs and Hindus being attacked by Muslims in Pakistan when migrating to India by train from the railway station in [[West Punjab]], Pakistan. In response, Sikhs and Hindus reply by killing Muslims migrating to Pakistan from [[East Punjab]], India. During the Hindu-Muslim riots that erupted soon after the Partition, Tara also plans to kill Muslims. Still, he stops after recognising Sakina at the railway station, from the little Taj Mahal antique in her hands. He saves and protects her from a murderous mob chasing her because she failed to get onto the train with her family members after being lost in the crowd. As the mob attempts to rape and murder her brutally, Tara Singh defends Sakina by applying blood (implying sindoor) to her forehead to make her his Sikh Wife. | The story begins with Sikhs and Hindus being attacked by Muslims in Pakistan when migrating to India by train from the railway station in [[West Punjab]], Pakistan.
