This comic narrates us the stories of three eminent personalities; Ghanshyam Das Birla, JRD Tata and Jamsetji Tata who struggled a lot to defend the British and upgrade India. When India was at the cuffs of British, struggling and slaving, some men had a long-run vision to turn India into an industrial country. Ghanshyam Das Birla planned to construct an Indian industry as a sign of opposition and rival against the Britain mills. Jamsetji Tata erected the India's textile and steel industry and also built the magnificent Taj in Mumbai after the British humiliated Indians by not letting them in 5 star hotels. JRD Tata, nephew of Jamsetji, half-french, took an already running large business firm and started to expand its business in all directions like trucks, teas and India's first airline.
