Dostojee

The aftermath of Babri Mosque demolition and the Bombay blasts in India, 1992-1993, found its violent echoes even in a remote village of West Bengal adjacent to the India-Bangladesh border where the story begins to unfold. It is a story of friendship between two eight-year-old boys belonging to two warring religious communities. Palash is the son of a Hindu Brahmin while Safikul is the son of a Muslim weaver. Their innocence receives its sustenance from nature. The greenery of the village, the river and the vast stretch of paddy fields playfully rebound the echoes of the voices and the laughter of the boys. Relentless fate arrives quietly, however, when separation becomes the destiny of their friendship. The boys must face the farewell and spread their wings to fly again.
