For centuries, many in Punjab, like elsewhere in India, have endured the pain of caste-based discrimination. This documentary highlights the struggles of Babu Mangu Ram Mugowalia in his fight against caste oppression and inequality.

Punjab is a state whose very name originates from water and rivers. However, today Punjab is grappling with a crisis where the water shortage is deepening day by day. According to expert reports, if the looting of Punjab’s rivers continues at this pace and the groundwater level keeps depleting, Punjab will become barren by 2037. The story of the illegal exploitation of Punjab’s waters and the misuse of groundwater is documented in the documentary “Paani Punjab De”. The roots of this issue trace back to 1947, when the British left India and Pakistan was formed. In its greed to secure more water than Pakistan, the Indian government laid the foundation for the misallocation of Punjab’s waters to Rajasthan and Haryana.
