| Summary: | Iqbal is virtually orphaned by the iniquities of a villain who does away with his father, floods the entire village, and abducts his grief-crazed mother. The young boy grows up to be a coolie at a busy railway station, and engages the rogue and his henchmen in combat, without knowing the true identity of his enemy. In contrasting the brotherhood of the honest, hard-working, poor and yet generous coolies with the depraved, exploitative, mercenary crooks, devoid of any redeeming qualities, we hear clear social commentary. |
