Dharmaputra 1961

Dharmaputra is a 1961 Indian Bollywood film released on 1961. The struggle of Indias independence which started with the slogan of Hindu-Muslim unity ended up in the disruption of the cultural brother hood between these two communities this is the political argument behind the story of `Dharm Putra. . In the context of harmony between Hindus and Muslims, there did not appear anything wrong when Docotr Amrit Rai and his wife Savitri took upon themselves to save Husn Bano from a life of shame by adopting the illegitmate son born to her out of a love affair which her father Nawab Badru Din did not approve. The two families had been neighbours for over two generations and as the Nawab had quite a hand in the shaping of the career of Amrit Rai, the young Doctor apart from doing a humanitarian deed found in it something by which he could repay in part, his debt of gratitude. . So, the son of Husn Bano started his life in the house of a Hindu. . But, as the young lad Dilip grew, the political atmosphere in the country started changing, Indians got divided into Hindus and Muslims religion became the dominant feature of our Independence struggle. The atmosphere became surcharged with the venom of Hindu-Muslim disunity. As a slap on the face of communal bigoty, this Muslim-born Dilip developed into staunch Hindu, determined to oppose with all his mihgt, the partition of the country. . `Dharam Putra is thus a vehement criticism of the religious frenzy, born out of communa labels. It pleads for the condemnation of the religious factor in human, social and political life and presents a strong case for national integration as the only living force for creating healthy nation.
