Plot[edit | edit source]
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.
This was because a minimum of six months in jail was required for the certificate and pension. Gour Hari Das at the age of 14 had spent less than two months in jail. Still, by 2008, most genuine freedom fighters were dead. It was cheaper to pay off the old man rather than let the nuisance persist.
At the age of 84, the much sought-after certificate, when it was ultimately awarded, was a bittersweet victory.[4]
