Synopsis
Piyoli Phukan was the son of Badan Borphukan. Badan is considered as a villain in Assam History. He brought Mansena (Burmese Army) to Assam to destroy his motherland. At first the British came to save Assamese people from the Burmese, but after the Treaty of Yandabo in 1826, they occupied Assam. There was massive protest against the British occupation of Assam. Badan Barphukan was a traitor though his son Piyli was a patriot. The film depicts vividly how Piyoli along with Gomdhar Konwar revolted against the British colonizers. He organized people to revolt against the British. Accordingly, he plotted for a massive armed attack on the British. But the British smelt the conspiracy and just before execution of the plan, Piyoli Phukan was arrested on the ground of hatching a plot against the British. Eventually Piyoli was sentenced to death and hanged July 26, 1830 after a trial.
