'Saka', meaning a peaceful protest is based on true events that took place in 1921 at Gurdwara Nankana Sahib, and the peaceful protest claimed the lives of 150 innocent people. Mahant Narayan Das managed Nankana Sahib in the early 20th century. He was corrupt and had the power of money and started using the Gurdwara's money for wrongful deeds and used the premises for immoral activities. On 20th February 1921, there was a peaceful protest against him to hand over Nankana Sahib back to the Sikh community. How Nankana Sahib was finally freed from the clutches of Mahant after this incident forms the crux of this tragic event.
