BAIJU BAWRA: 64 YEARS OLD
His father dead, a weeping and somewhat befuddled Baiju sets off to take revenge on Tansen. Not that Tansen is directly responsible, but still. Baiju isn’t even very sure how he’s going to avenge his father’s death—but passing a camp one day, he steals a sword and tries to run off with it, in the hope that he can someday use that sword to kill Tansen. The soldiers from the camp chase Baiju and catch up with him soon enough. They’re on the verge of meting out punishment when an unexpected saviour turns up: a passing pandit (Manmohan Krishna), who intercedes on Baiju’s behalf and finally takes the boy under his wing.
