Plot

During World War II, Japan invaded Burma (now known as Myanmar) in 1941. Many Indians have adopted Burma as their country and were living there. The invasion brought many hardships to these Indians. They started migrating to India walking hundreds of miles through jungles and mountains while the enemy was on pursuit. The heroine set up an organisation in India to take care of the lost children. This organisation was called Maanasamrakshana. The heroine is involved in nationalistic activities. She defeats the villain's anti-national activities. She faces her own relatives who misappropriate her wealth.[1]
