Bharatiya is a story set in a village called "ADNIDE" on the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka. As part of the fiction, the narrative details the alienation of the village folk from the mainstream because of the lack of amenities. The villagers are brought over for votes by politicians from both sides of the border but when it comes to fulfilling promises or furthering development of the village, the politicians turn a blind eye.
