Neem Ka ped was a book written by Rahi Masoom Raza. He was a famous Indian writer and a determined peasant who planted a Neem tree in his childhood and when he grew up he wrote this book about the neem tree.

Neem ka Ped was a classic directed by Mr. Gurubir Singh. Itis a story of a semi-bonded labourer, Budhai Ram - played by Pankaj Kapoor, under a Muslim village zamindar. This Muslim landlord is under property dispute with his minister brother-in-law. As circumstances turn out to be, Budhai Ram gets caught between this fight of pride and property. The bone of contention is also the small piece of land on which he has planted a Neem tree as a kid. His only hopes are his son Sukhai whom he wants to educate and that Neem tree with which he identifies himself, and his beliefs. How a powerless, but determined peasant gets out from this wrangle, saves his Neem Ka Ped against all odds, gets his son educated and turns the tables on his warring landlords.
