Constitution‘s ending highlights a powerful message that focuses on freedom.
The Netflix series focuses on humanizing courtesans (known as tawaifs in India) as they struggle between fighting for the country’s freedom or staying put and working to please the British Raj and Nawabs (rulers of society).
The series’ eight-episode run features death, betrayal, and romance, with the final episode tying all of these aspects together into one impressive swan song.

Heeramand episode 8 ending explained
Constitution Episode 8, “The Swan Song,” deals with characters reeling after the death of Tajdar (Taha Shah Badussha), who sacrificed himself for rebellion.
Tajdar’s death seems to be the wake-up call the courtesans needed to unite against a common enemy.
It even made Mallikajan and Fareedan (two sworn enemies) put aside their differences to fight against the British colonizers so that they could achieve freedom.
Elsewhere, the rebels, led by Mallikajaan’s eldest daughter Bibbojaan (Aditi Rao Hydari), devise an elaborate plan to derail British rule: kill General Henderson.
This means that Bibbo reveals his loyalty by shooting General Henderson in broad daylight during a meeting with Indians. While this act cements his eventual demise, this is the spark the rebellion needs to stand a chance against the colonizers.
Bibbo’s sacrifice prompts the tawais of Heera Mandi (led by Mallikajaan) to start a revolution. They take to the streets to show their support for him and show their opposition to the British Raj.
Alamzeb (Sharmin Segal) also had a meaningful ending after killing Officer Cartwright and avenging Taj’s death.
Were the Tawais successful in drafting the constitution?
ConstitutionThe ending is poignant and moving as it shows the courtesans uniting as freedom fighters ready to fight for what is right.
The marching of the Tawaifs in the streets highlighted the fact that they are not afraid to die not only for their freedom but also for the country’s freedom from British rule.
In Constitutionin the finale, one line stands out: The courtesan says, “This revolution is not a dream. It is our duty,” This means that tawaivs still choose to do their part, even though they know that their contribution to the big picture will eventually be forgotten.
Nevertheless, the Netflix series serves as a fitting reminder that the Tawais are the unsung heroes of India’s road to independence and should not be taken for granted.
