Lotus Of Kashmir 1954

Lotus Of Kashmir is a 1954 Indian Bollywood film released on 1954. Once upon a time, on the lovely Dal Lake in Kashmir, the Garden of the world, there lived a little dumb orphan girl, named Mogli, Pittying her, old Kassim who owned a dilapidated houseboat, in which he lived with his ill-tempered wife and their pretty daughter Naseem, took Mogli into his household. They were very poor, and Kassims wife, who saw in Mogli one more mouth to feed, took an instant dislike to the child and she would bring worse luck to them. . Kassim and his daughter Naseem were good to Mogli, but Kassim had his debts to worry over, and Naseem, who loved their neighbours handsome son Aziz, was unhappy because his father would not let him marry into family so poor and ill-favoured of fortune as theirs. Thus Mogli became the household drudge, bedvilled and breated by her vicious foster-mother who often cuffed her soundly because she could get no word out of her. . Like the birds of the lake and the butterflies, fishes and frogs, Mogli was a child of Nature and found among those creatures her friend and playmates. When her foster mother was unkind to her Mogli would steal off in her canoe to the great lotus fields. There she would forget her tears and be happy in the company of the dumb creatures who where her friends and companions. And there the Old Man of the Lake who was far older than nobody on the lake could guess found her one day and made friends with her. . Thereafter when she was sad, Mogli would go darting over the lake to the old man who petted her and made her laugh and told her lovely stories. Her favourite story was about the Frog King whose beautiful palace is on the bottom of the lake far below its deepest waters. There are no tears in the Fog Kings Palace, said the old man, because nobody is unkind and everybody is happy all the livelong day and night As he told her of the revels and the laughter, Mogli would gaze down into the water, and fancy should see it all, and wish she could be there too. Many more happenings that follow. . And when one day her foster-mother was partifularly unkind, Mogli stole away in her canoe and was never seen again. The old man went to look for her where the Lakes waters are deepest. He found only her little canoe and know that Mogli had gone to the Frog Kings Palace at the bottom only daughter, and everybody is happy because nobody is unkind.
