Mahaveer: The Soldier Who Never Died

Every cloud they say has a silver lining. If there is one action of India’s 1962 fiasco in the Northeast that counts as a moment to treasure it is the battle of Nuranang. Sikhs Rajputs Gorkhas and Garhwalis all fought like tigers. But towering above their stories of courage is a saga of selfless love and indomitable courage. The actors on this brief stage were a Garhwali solider and two anonymous Monpa girls. This is the story of that legendary soldier Jaswant Singh Rawat. When Jaswant Singh Rawat arrives in Tawang with his battalion he is already a hero for his friends and colleagues. But his meeting with the sisters Sela and Noora transforms their lives and the history of a nation in a way rarely seen before. Love blossoms even as the dogs of war are unleashed. Will Jaswant’s love for his Monpa beloved win the day? Are Noora and Sela’s pristine affections doomed to be crushed under the boots of a marauding relentless enemy? Will hate and jealousy triumph or love conquer?
