The Kamar are a metal-working caste of Bengal and Bihar distinguished from the Lohar by not confining themselves to the fabrication of iron implements, and by having no scruples about working with any kind of metal.
The Kamars or Karmakars of Bengal are popularly believed to be descended from an intrigue between a woman of the Sudra caste and the celestial artificer Viswa-karraa. In the Midnapur district they have a legend curiously like the myth of the destruction of the Asuras quoted in the article on the Munda tribe. Once upon a time, they say, there was a demon called Lohasura (Lohd + asura), who obtained by his austerities the gift of immortality, and warred successfully with the gods. Wearied with constant defeat, Indra at last appealed to Siva for help. As the demon was proof against all the weapons of the gods, a man was created to be their champion and armed by Siva with a set of blacksmith's tools. His hammer was formed from Siva's drum (damaru), a skull was converted into an anvil, pincers were made out of the snake girdle worn by the god, while the sacred bull parted with a piece of his skin to furnish the bellows. Thus equipped the first Kamar went forth to meet Lohasur, who laughed and declined to fight any one so small. On this the Kamar asked the Asura to give a proof that he was really immortal by getting into his furnace and letting him blow the bellows. With stupidity worthy of a giant in a fairy tale, the Asura complied; but the Kamar worked the bellows so hard that before the demon could turn he had become red hot and had run out of the furnace as molten iron. From this were forged eight different kinds of iron, corresponding, it is said, to the eight classes of Kamar known in Midnapur.

Plot: Ramallah this decade. A free spirited woman dancer, Kamar, finds herself the wife of a prisoner, Zaid, and away from everything she loves until she returns to the dance, defying society's taboos. At the dance Kamar is confronted with Kais, a Palestinian returnee, who has taken Kamar's role as the head choreographer. Sparks fly between Kamar and Kais, creating more than a passionate, emotional dance for the both of them. Matters become even more complicated when Zaid's sentence is extended. At the same time the family's legal case against the land confiscation faces one obstacle after another and the villagers from the nearby villages are unable to reach the family's olive groves, placing the annual harvest and consequently the family's livelihood in danger. And Kamar's life is thrown into turmoil as she becomes increasingly attached to Kais, and caught in the midst of her desire to dance and breaking the family and society taboos of the prisoner's wife's role while life under occupation rages on.

Where will I be now all is said and done
Here comes the time, prepare for justice
Seems like my final journey has begun
Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go
Take me to my afterlife, high up or down below
Heaven or Hell - where do we go when we are leaving
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
I'm not the one who was expected
So I'll return and be from heaven sent
I'm gonna get myself elected
And now I wanna be the president - Viva el Presidente
Master of the damned I'll be the savior of you all
Take me as a holy god to save you from the fall
Heaven or Hell - where is my final destination
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we'll see there is no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Master of the damned, I'll be the savior of you all
I'm your revelation I'm a walking miracle
Heaven or Hell - what is our final destination
Heaven or Hell - where do we go from here
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we see there is no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Heaven or hell
It's heaven or hell
There's no wishing well
It's heaven or hell
