Synopsis
GORA, the tele-series is about Gourmohan, Gora to family and friends, a tall, broad shouldered, extremely fair young man. It is late nineteenth century Calcutta and Bengal is intellectually stimulated by the many reform movements launched by English educated Bengalis. Society is in turmoil due to the pulls of tradition and orthodoxy on one side and reform and modern thought on the other. Gora posits himself firmly o n the side of orthodoxy. He is a staunch traditionalist and in his view, all the ills of Society can be countenanced and eradicated once the yoke of foreign rule is thrown off. In this idealistic quest, Gora gives up everything, friendship, relationships, love (for his mother and for his beloved) to single mindedly pursue his idea of the ideal society.
Short synopsis
The series tells the story of Gourmohan, Gora to his friends, who is a staunch orthodox Hindu - believing that change in 'his' Hindu society can only come by once Indians throw off the yoke of British rule in India.
