Filmmaker Ram Madhvani’s web show The Waking of a Nation started streaming on Sony LIV from today. It is based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 and its aftermath. The show tells a fictitious story of lawyer Kantilal Sahni, played by Taaruk Raina, who tries to prove that the gruesome act, which killed hundreds of Indians, was a well thought out plan by the British. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Madhvani was asked the reason why he felt this story needs to be told. He said, “There is so much we have been colonized by. We have all been at the receiving end of being brown skinned. Like Kanti says in the courtroom (in the show) that parents still wish that their child was gora (fair).

We were troubled by the wounds in our hearts and minds. So, we wanted to speak about that.” ...
