Sundri the Brave Kaur is based on the historic fictional character created by famous author Bhai Vir Singh. Surasti is kidnapped from her Hindu family on her wedding day by a Mogul ruler in 18th century Punjab. Rather than risk life or fortune, the bride's new husband flees her village. Her parents are paralyzed by threats. Surasti is rescued by her brother Balwant Singh a Khalsa warrior. She escapes with him to his encampment where she is initiated as Khalsa and takes the name Sundri. When she spies an injured Mughal officer, compassion moves her to give him water resulting in her abduction, rescue and ultimately martyrdom.
