This unity and progress as a nation let India to be an Independent nation . it was the people of India who protest with several major political leaders which led to the freedom of Indians . After the Independence the severe changes made the partition between the small part as the Pakistan and the rest the India . These changes had the immense effect on the people of Mano Majra but the effect does not effect the love between the Muslims and the Sikhs . The death of the local money-lender Ram lal creates lots of misunderstandings in the village which created separations and effects the lives severely .
Juggut singh , the village gangster who was in love with a Muslim girl Nooran and her dad Imam Baksh , the mullah of the mosque and was the weaver . Imam was basically called by the name of chacha instead of his real name . He was one of the person who was respected by all the other people there in Mano Majra . Therefore they showed their love and respect to the Muslim community indirectly . Jugga dakoo was arrested for the murder of Ram lal as he was one of the suspect for every crime that took place in Mano Majra
