Satvarth and Hari are part of the latest batch of students at ‘Vidya Mutth’, a school that teaches centuries-old Hindu literature. Upon admission, the children’s heads are shaved—except for Hari, who is allowed to keep his longer hair. Western clothes are prohibited, and students are given saffron robes. For the next eight years, they will have minimal contact with the outside world. The students struggle to acclimatise to the school’s strict disciplinarian environment. Over time, they begin to idolise the school’s founder, Avimuktesh, and grow accustomed to a life centred around the study of Hindu scriptures. However, Avimuktesh also begins to share teachings that are not only anti-Islamic but also casteist. Hidden within the scriptural lessons are discourses that encourage students to view Muslims as second-class citizens. The Guru frequently promotes Hindu supremacist theories. As the months pass, Hari begins to internalise the school’s extreme messages and moves towards radicalisation. Satvarth, however, remains unaffected by the propaganda and yearns to become a Sanskrit scholar.
