Choma is an untouchable bonded-labourer in a village who's working alongside along with his household for a landlord, as he belongs to a backward class. Resulting from his social standing, he's not allowed to until his personal land, one thing that he needs most. Although he managed to rear a pair of bullocks that he discovered straying within the forest, he can not use them to until the land. He is available in contact of Christian missionaries who attempt to convert him giving him the lure of the land, however Choma doesn't need to let go of his religion. He releases the fury that destiny has beset on him, by beating his drum.
