The novel Lagaan aims to highlight the regional language spoken in Itkhori, Chouparan, and Mayurhand Blocks of Jharkhand while addressing the issue of extreme casteism before and after India’s independence. The story centers around Rana Baba, a landlord who gains power and popularity, offering some relief to the oppressed, but causing internal conflict among the feudal lords. Amid the intensity of Gandhiji’s National Freedom Movement, Rana Baba faces conspiracies from fellow landlords, leading him to adopt a new identity. Lana, a bonded laborer, takes on the role of a freedom fighter in Rana Baba's place. The novel explores the exploitation of the poor by landlords and mahajans, fueling ongoing social unrest. The final message of Rana Baba stands as a testament to the struggles faced by the oppressed.
