“A Tryst with Destiny” brings alive the back room drama between Congress, Muslim league and the British in this multimedia show. With historical footage and live actors it recreates the history of over 30 years (1920-1947) of the freedom movement in India. This is the story of the great leaders of the freedom struggle in India, their personalities, their trials and tribulations, their conflicts and political maneuvering that ended in the partition of India, and forced a violent migration of 15 million people across the new borders to find new homes and identities. Was it necessary? You be the Judge.
