The Kulin nation, was an alliance of five Indigenous Australian nations in Central Victoria, Australia, prior to European settlement, that spoke related languages. Their collective territory extended to around Port Phillip and Western Port, up into the Great Dividing Range and the Loddon and Goulburn River valleys. To their east lived the Gunai/Kurnai people of Gippsland. Five distinct languages were spoken in two groups. The Eastern Kulin group includes Woiwurrung, Bunurong, Taungurong, Ngurai-illam-wurrung. The western language group included just Wathaurung.
When foreign people passed through or were invited onto tribal lands, the ceremony of Tanderrum – freedom of the bush – would be performed. This allowed safe passage and temporary access and use of land and resources by foreign people. It was a diplomatic rite involving the landholder's hospitality and a ritual exchange of gifts.

Plot: A tearful melodrama about a progressive writer, Pushpa (Gohar), and her weak husband, Kulin (Bilimoria). She has to fight her domineering mother-in-law and the tyrannies of a conservative household. When falsely accused of theft and infidelity by her wayward sister-in-law Gulab, Pushpa is forced out of the house. In her final state of penury, she recalls the examples of the great female Saint-Poets of Indian history, like Meerabhai. Secondary characters are used to caricature Bombay's merchant class, e.g. Mahatma Ramanand Adambar, a fortune-teller who suspects his wife of infidelity, and a gold collector called Prof. Pyarelal.
Genres: ,Tragedies and suffering
I hear them scream
Screaming for help
The prophets preach
The end of the world
Only fools believe their words
No truth without evidence
Its easy to lie
Who can seek the answers
Who can see through the sky
Such a great temptation
Who can carry such a quest
And gain that information
We don't need no god
We don't need no god no more
We don't need a tyrant
We want to love
We want to breathe
We want to be
Rebuild the world
With the knowledge
We retrieve
We want to feel
We want to live
We want to see
Seek the wisdom
From the future
