KAUR focuses on two stories simultaneously. The story of a young girl who has to deal with the social pressure that “girls don’t belong in science club”, and the story of Mai Bhago, an amazing Sikh woman warrior who led 40 men into battle against an army over 10,000 strong. This small band of Sikhs defended the principles of freedom and equality against a medieval version of ISIS. In KAUR, the story of Mai Bhago helps Saibhang Kaur find the strength to face the battles in her own life.
