Starting with a period drama that begins the advent of new programming with a clarion of change is the story of independence struggle about a path breaking newspaper, 'Ranbheri', that not only played a significant role in the freedom struggle in the 1940s, but had also joined the different voices of the freedom fighters who were slowly and stealthily working towards the overthrow of the British Rule.
