Study on the teachings of Om̐kāra Bābā, Hindu and sufi saint, from Koraput District in Orissa.
The subject of elections being so indissolubly bound up with that of parliamentary assemblages and dissolutions, it will not be out of place to glance at the progress of that institution.

The play depicts the actions of the tribune vis a vis the characters of the common men with their political suffrage.
