Synopsis

In 2016, around mid February, the state of Haryana found itself in a very disturbing situation, unguarded and abandoned, when all of a sudden, the peaceful Jaat reservation agitation flared up into a devastating inferno of sectarian violence. This region, right from the beginning, had been famous for its unmatched spirit of harmony and peaceful coexistence. The very term 'sectarian violence' was alien to the people of this region but these countless incidents of violence changed everything. The very social fabric of Haryana was in tatters. Just like Draupadi, that spirit of harmony and peaceful coexistence found itself disrobed of its dignity, unguarded and abandoned praying for some divine intervention. Cheer Haran is an attempt to show the inside of the Riots. The human and inhuman side of the whole agitation which turned into riots.
