== Plot ==
The movie is set in the 1900s. Pratap (Ashok Kumar) and Kasturi (Devika Rani) are childhood friends, deeply in love with each other. Unfortunately, Pratap is a Brahmin and Kasturi is an untouchable (''achhut''). Social conventions of the time preclude any possibility of the two ever uniting.
