By juxtaposing the words of major 20th century figures from India and the USA, this abstract play explores points of interaction between art, religion, modernity, race and caste, political action, peace, and violence. The text is drawn from the Baghavad Gita, the verses and dramatic writing of Rabindranath Tagore, as well as spoken language of Tagore, Mohandas Gandhi, Dr. Babasheb Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, George Wallace, Winston Churchill and Malcolm X.
