In a small room in the center of New Delhi, Mr. Sachdev, a former journalist, has transformed himself into the leader of the Love Commandos, an activist group that helps young couples escape persecution for violating India’s ancient prohibition of marriage outside one’s caste.

Although the caste system has been legally abolished, young couples in mixed marriage still continue to risk their lives. Condemned by their families, these pairs are forced to escape for fear of being ostracized, beaten, or killed. The Love Commandos offer safe refuge, legal support, and secret weddings.

Lovers on the run hail from different places, but all come together in the Love Commandos’s haven, united by their difficult circumstances. Mr. Sachdev’s organization becomes the crossroads for people with a vast array of backgrounds and stories who are risking everything for love. He ushers in new arrivals Sanjay and Arti, and helps mitigate the lawsuit against Karunesh, accused of having kidnapped his wife. He provides a safe harbor for the clandestine marriage of Bablu and Kamlesh, who still wish to be accepted in their village and the brave Famida, a Muslim woman married to a Hindu man, who lives in a secret place to escape her father’s death threats.

These couples’ stories are linked by the voice of Mr. Sachdev who dreams of a caste-free society founded above all on love.
