This documentary highlights the achievements of India in the political, economic, and international fields since she attained Independence. The framing of her Constitution, the integration of the States and the general elections, the rehabilitation of displaced persons, the river valley projects, and the setting up of a chain of National Laboratories are some of the achievements shown here.

How Indians react to democracy in this country has been studied in the film. Different shades of opinion placed against the perspectives of events during the two decades of independence are projected through interviews with a cross section of the people from all over India.
