Thakur Rajnath Singh Chouhan opens a can of worms when he announces that he is going to marry a prostitute by the name of Tulsi. His mother will not even consider Tulsi as a daughter-in-law, and would prefer that he marry Sanjukta. Tulsi convinces him that he should marry the woman of his mother's choice, which he eventually does. Thereafter Tulsi gives birth to a baby boy, Ajay, and passes away. Sanjukta raises Ajay as her own child, even after the passing away of Rajnath, and even after giving birth to Pratap. Ajay is given the entire responsibility of the estate, while Pratap squanders money on courtesans and alcohol. Sanjukta trusts Ajay, until one day when a villager complains to her that Ajay has got his daughter, Geeta, pregnant; additionally she also finds out that Ajay has been misappropriating money, and also owes money to a prostitute named Leelabai, the very woman who sold Tulsi to Rajnath.

Le Dr Rao, un vétérinaire, est envoyé dans un petit village du Gujerat pour mettre sur pied une coopérative laitière. Mais les « étrangers venus de la ville » inquiètent fortement Mishraji, qui payait une misère pour le lait des habitants du village, et cela depuis des années. Le Dr Rao fait appel à l’aide de la communauté des intouchables locaux et compte sur l’appui du chef du village, qui avait demandé au gouvernement de créer une coopérative parce qu’il espérait, en tant que président, en tirer un avantage politique, Rao donnant la préférence à Moti, un intouchable, le chef du village s’allie à Mishraji, et ceux-ci tentent désormais de saboter le projet. Rao s’assure ensuite l’aide d’un intouchable farouche, Bhola, qui tentera avec Moti de faire renaître la coopérative de ses cendres après que Mishraji aura mis le feu aux pauvres maisons des intouchables pour les dépouiller de leurs terres.
