The Seat of Power

Pashupati Chakraborty is old and frail, and he earns his keep by singing one and the same devotional song to passengers on trains. His neighbourhood looks down on him, and he comes under growing pressure to give up his ancestral homestead. With his sister Ranibala at his side, he holds on to his dignity and to the conviction that dissent can be a duty.
