betraying it and making money out of it. Masterji tried to stop the
traitor but his own family got scattered. His wife and daughter
were kidnapped in order to bring pressure on him but no change.
His wife became a victim of leprosy. Masterji and his son settled
in a slum divided in four sections- Punjabi, Benggali, Muslim and

only their own section but nobody thought himself as an Indian
