It is a story of love, valour and sacrifice set in first world war.
1.2 million Indian soldiers took part in the great war, 74000 of them died fighting for the British. Incidentally, UK recently announced that soldiers from India who gave their lives for Britain during first world war will be honored and remembered in a four year long centenary commemoration starting in 2014.
Sikhs from Punjab played important role in France and Belgium. The war comes alive in the very famous short story by Chandradhar Sharma Guleri, on which this play is based.
Lahna Singh, a Sikh boy has soft feelings for his childhood friend, a Sikh girl. The girl gets married to someone called Hajara Singh who eventually becomes a Subedar in a sikh regiment where Lahna Singh is also serving as a Jamadar.
They meet 20 years later in very unusual circumstances. War breaks out and the sikh regiment is deployed in France to fight against Germans. Before going to the war, Subedar Hajara Singh invites Lahna to his house where to his surprise Lahna discovers that the Subedarni is none other than his childhood flame.
She was very apprehensive that her only surviving son and her husband, both are going to the war. On the strength of their childhood love, she pleads with Lahna and entrusts him with a task. Lahna Singh shows exemplary courage during the fighting. So great was Lahna`s love for the girl and so moved was he by her request that he fulfills the task with least regard for his own life.
