- Your daughter?
- - Yes, sir. She was missing for 6 months
- 5
- 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,638
- May Allah bless-
- Fine, fine, it's alright.
- 6
- 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,307
- Few men left her here and went off.
- 7
- 00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:48,472
- They spoke of avenging the Noakhali riots
- 8
- 00:03:50,433 --> 00:03:54,848
- 'What are you doing?
- Listen to me carefully.
- 9

- 10
- 00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:01,611
- Come, let's go.
- 11
- 00:04:02,167 --> 00:04:08,277
- Now let us cheer for our country,
- and repeat after me thrice -
- 12
- 00:04:08,933 --> 00:04:11,277
- Long live..
- - India!
- 13
- 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,773
- Long live..
- - India!
- 14
- 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,573
- Long live..
- - India!
- 15
- 00:04:17,133 --> 00:04:19,306
- Long live..
- - India!
- 16

- Fatima?
- 17
- 00:04:30,467 --> 00:04:31,468
- Fatima!
- 18
- 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,507
- Fatima! My dear!
- 19
- 00:04:34,767 --> 00:04:38,738
- Fatima? It's your father.
- I am here. Fatima?
- 20
- 00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:41,813
- Fatima? Please say something.
- 21
- 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,743
- This is your father.
- 22
- 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:47,570
- Fatima, my dear. Where were you?
- 23
- 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,080
- I've been looking for you for months.
- Oh Fatima?
- 24
- 00:04:52,367 --> 00:04:55,246
- Fatima? Are you OK?
- Fatima?
- 25
- 00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,237
- Fatima? Fatima!
- 26
- 00:05:02,433 --> 00:05:03,207
- Fatima?
- 27
- 00:05:03,567 --> 00:05:08,243
- Why don't you say something?
- Your mother is waiting for you.
- 28
- 00:05:08,533 --> 00:05:14,484
- She hasn't seen you for years.
- She yearns for you
- 29
- 00:05:15,133 --> 00:05:17,306
- Open the windows.
- 30
- 00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:19,444
- Let's go back home now.
- 31
- 00:05:20,367 --> 00:05:23,541
- Why do you lie there like a stone?
- 32
- 00:05:23,833 --> 00:05:26,211
- Didn't you hear me?
- Come on, open!
- 33
- 00:05:27,467 --> 00:05:28,810
- MY dear?
- 34
- 00:05:36,133 --> 00:05:37,806
- Come now, let's go.
- 35
- 00:05:51,333 --> 00:05:53,335
- Oh Allah!
- 36
- 00:06:15,133 --> 00:06:18,273
- How did this happen?
- 37
- 00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:13,339
- No Women's Land
- 38
- 00:07:35,467 --> 00:07:36,969
- Good morning, sir.
- 39
- 00:07:37,267 --> 00:07:38,211
- This way.
- 40
- 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:06,977
- Welcome, dear Radcliffe.
- 41
- 00:08:08,167 --> 00:08:09,168
- Welcome to India
- 42
- 00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:15,284
- And then, he stormed in, snatched
- the bronze lamp and flung it away.
- 43
- 00:08:15,633 --> 00:08:21,640
- The lamp smashed against a stone,
- & was shattered to pieces!
- 44
- 00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:23,512
- And the Sun God's image-
- 45
- 00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:25,470
- What does the Sun God look like?
- 46
- 00:08:25,633 --> 00:08:29,103
- Like Lord Shiva?
- - Oh God! Only questions.
- 47
- 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,139
- 'Will you shut up and listen?
- 48
- 00:08:33,133 --> 00:08:39,175
- So a black stone fell off the wall.
- 49
- 00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:47,180
- Subhaga cried, "You fool! What did you do?
- Destroyed the Sun Temple & insulted the Gods?"
- 50
- 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,907
- Gayeb said, "I don't care about the Gods
- 51
- 00:08:51,133 --> 00:08:52,942
- Tell me! Whose son am I? Or else-
- 52
- 00:08:53,167 --> 00:08:55,044
- Whose daughter am I?
- 53
- 00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:58,445
- Little rascal! Why do you
- ask so many questions?
- 54
- 00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:00,410
- Can't you shut up & listen?
- 55
- 00:09:00,867 --> 00:09:04,940
- Let it be <i>I'll</i> return the book
- when Professor comes.
- 56
- 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,908
- You are impossible-
- Bnuchki!
- 57
- 00:09:08,067 --> 00:09:12,038
- Go take a bath quickly.
- Grandma, Begum Jaan is calling us.
- 58
- 00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:15,280
- I'm in quite a mess, it seems.
- 59
- 00:09:15,833 --> 00:09:17,540
- Well, I wouldn't disagree
- 60
- 00:09:17,867 --> 00:09:20,848
- Which is why I would suggest to you,
- stay away from the hearings.
- 61
- 00:09:21,033 --> 00:09:25,311
- But surely my Lord, if I'm chairman of
- a committee, I would need to preside.
- 62
- 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,502
- There are meetings I've to set up.
- There are people I've got to meet-
- 63
- 00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,411
- My dear sir.
- Do you know what this is?
- 64
- 00:09:31,233 --> 00:09:33,543
- No, my Lord.
- 65
- 00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:39,332
- It is one list of many prepared
- by the Separation Council.
- 66
- 00:09:39,333 --> 00:09:43,440
- Of the administrative assets to be
- divided between India & Pakistan.
- 67
- 00:09:45,433 --> 00:09:46,776
- Let's see.
- 68
- 00:09:47,167 --> 00:09:49,977
- Durries table lamps iron safes..
- 69
- 00:09:50,267 --> 00:09:52,042
- ...cash boxes cycles,
- 70
- 00:09:52,233 --> 00:09:54,110
- typewriters electrical heaters,
- 71
- 00:09:55,033 --> 00:09:57,513
- magnifying glasses & many more.
- 72
- 00:09:58,967 --> 00:10:03,074
- Now Radcliffe, add to that,
- government officials
- 73
- 00:10:03,333 --> 00:10:04,937
- the Army, roads
- 74
- 00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:06,778
- railway lines, bridges,
- 75
- 00:10:07,233 --> 00:10:09,474
- trees rivers...
- 76
- 00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,144
- You could add the damned Himalayas
- & the Thar desert for all you know.
- 77
- 00:10:13,267 --> 00:10:15,178
- I don't comprehend, my Lord.
- 78
- 00:10:19,833 --> 00:10:23,781
- We're about to cut through a
- 5000 year old civilisation here, Radcliffe.
- 79
- 00:10:24,167 --> 00:10:26,238
- And the people are going
- to be very, very angry.
- 80
- 00:10:27,067 --> 00:10:30,446
- In light of the impending partition
- of the land we proudly call India...
- 81
- 00:10:31,067 --> 00:10:32,444
- ...The All India Congress Committee,
- 82
- 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,403
- would like to submit...
- 83
- 00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:35,210
- ...its modest
- claims and suggestions...
- 84
- 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,209
- ...for the facilitation of the same
- 85
- 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,041
- As discussed in our recent sessions...
- 86
- 00:10:40,167 --> 00:10:42,511
- ...we moot a separate proposal
- to the Congress scheme...
- 87
- 00:10:43,067 --> 00:10:45,206
- ...as previously submitted
- to your Lordships
- 88
- 00:10:45,767 --> 00:10:46,939
- This new proposal...
- 89
- 00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:49,904
- ...is to be referred to
- henceforth as the Congress Plan
- 90
- 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:55,841
- And in our view is infinitely
- fairer to our Muslim brothers.
- 91
- 00:10:56,067 --> 00:10:59,241
- The largest stake that we claim
- in a Muslim majority district...
- 92
- 00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:01,912
- ...would be that of Murshidabad.
- 93
- 00:11:02,433 --> 00:11:06,848
- Which we consider to be-
- Order, order!
- 94
- 00:11:10,733 --> 00:11:13,009
- Which we... which we-
- Order, order!
- 95
- 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:17,105
- Which we consider to be of
- vital importance, Your Lordships
- 96
- 00:11:18,467 --> 00:11:22,279
- It would be blatantly unfair if...
- 97
- 00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:26,677
- Khulna, Faridpur & Bakarganj
- are included as a pan of India
- 98
- 00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:30,039
- We must also remember that...
- 99
- 00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:33,205
- ...all the jute fields
- will be on our side...
- 100
- 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,209
- ...while the mills will be in Calcutta
- 101
- 00:11:35,367 --> 00:11:38,348
- That's why we request you...
- 102
- 00:11:39,267 --> 00:11:43,738
- ...to include Calcutta in
- Pakistan and-
- 103
- 00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:45,742
- Order! Order in the court!
- 104
- 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:50,873
- What's wrong with you?
- Bloody whore!
- 105
- 00:11:51,033 --> 00:11:52,842
- Have you gone mad, you bitch?
- 106
- 00:11:56,267 --> 00:12:00,147
- The same routine, bloody slut!
- 107
- 00:12:00,233 --> 00:12:02,907
- Why whore if you're insane?
- 108
- 00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,246
- <i>I'll</i> tell Begum Jaan-
- Take that!
- 109
- 00:12:05,733 --> 00:12:08,771
- Bloody dickhead! Didn't I tell
- you not to touch my breasts?
- 110
- 00:12:08,967 --> 00:12:11,777
- Dare do that again &
- <i>I'll</i> castrate your tiny tool!
- 111
- 00:12:11,867 --> 00:12:14,677
- Hey Golap! Why scream
- this early in the morning?
- 112
- 00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,972
- Begum Jaan beckons Come fast.
- 113
- 00:12:25,767 --> 00:12:27,769
- Father or husband?
- 114
- 00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:31,010
- Or is it the brother?
- 115
- 00:12:32,733 --> 00:12:34,371
- The father, Begum Jaan.
- 116
- 00:12:35,733 --> 00:12:36,711
- He deserted her.
- 117
- 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,371
- Oh my!
- 118
- 00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:50,843
- My dear! Better get this straight.
- 119
- 00:12:51,167 --> 00:12:54,307
- All men are assholes.
- 120
- 00:12:56,333 --> 00:12:59,246
- Remember. All men.
- 121
- 00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:03,614
- So he deserted you, sweetie?
- 122
- 00:13:03,833 --> 00:13:05,005
- Huh?
- 123
- 00:13:09,133 --> 00:13:11,807
- What's your name?
- 124
- 00:13:36,767 --> 00:13:39,543
- Your name is...
- 125
- 00:13:41,833 --> 00:13:43,176
- Shabnam
- 126
- 00:13:47,567 --> 00:13:49,569
- Keep that in mind.
- 127
- 00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,740
- Grandma, take her away.
- 128
- 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,105
- Give her a bath & get her ready.
- 129
- 00:14:00,767 --> 00:14:03,941
- Sujan! Get some clothes from the town.
- 130
- 00:14:04,167 --> 00:14:08,206
- Jui, Golap, Lama. Train her well.
- 131
- 00:14:09,067 --> 00:14:10,239
- And Mirza,
- 132
- 00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,938
- if any relatives or the police
- enquire about her,
- 133
- 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,002
- tell them that Begum Jaan
- has sheltered her.
- 134
- 00:14:16,267 --> 00:14:18,247
- So they should stop searching.
- 135
- 00:14:18,633 --> 00:14:19,839
- Yes Begum Jaan.
- 136
- 00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:30,006
- Wait, wait, wait!
- 137
- 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:31,602
- Come here
- 138
- 00:14:40,567 --> 00:14:42,103
- Sit. Sit here.
- 139
- 00:14:42,733 --> 00:14:43,711
- Sit.
- 140
- 00:14:59,167 --> 00:15:02,808
- It hurt a lot, didn't it, Shabnam?
- 141
- 00:15:05,767 --> 00:15:07,747
- Shock, huh?
- 142
- 00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,070
- Isn't it Shabnam?
- 143
- 00:15:19,667 --> 00:15:21,669
- Everything will be fine
- 144
- 00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:25,904
- Everything will be fine
- 145
- 00:16:12,467 --> 00:16:15,778
- Yes. That's better.
- Grandma-
- 146
- 00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:18,675
- Take her away.
- 147
- 00:16:19,667 --> 00:16:22,511
- Come along, my dear.
- 148
- 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,873
- Cry & scream as much
- as you want sweetie.
- 149
- 00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:31,805
- It'll be easier for you
- to come back
- 150
- 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,708
- We went to Debiganj
- Police station as well.
- 151
- 00:16:39,767 --> 00:16:42,873
- They said it was beyond
- their jurisdiction.
- 152
- 00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:47,040
- That's why we came to you Sir-
- We are also helpless.
- 153
- 00:16:47,967 --> 00:16:51,574
- It is beyond the jurisdiction
- of Haldibari Police station...
- 154
- 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,609
- ...outside the town.
- 155
- 00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:56,773
- The boys are growing up
- & getting out of control.
- 156
- 00:16:57,467 --> 00:17:01,677
- The shameless sluts sit there all day.
- Makes it difficult to pass...
- 157
- 00:17:01,733 --> 00:17:03,576
- ...the way they smoke and swear.
- 158
- 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,438
- What did you expect, Mr.Ghosh?
- 159
- 00:17:12,733 --> 00:17:14,804
- Hymn-chanting harlots?
- 160
- 00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:17,573
- No, no, sir, it's not that.
- 161
- 00:17:18,367 --> 00:17:23,817
- But as you know, forget caste,
- creed or character...
- 162
- 00:17:24,133 --> 00:17:26,443
- They spread deadly diseases.
- 163
- 00:17:26,767 --> 00:17:29,839
- Even laws of the past
- couldn't prevent it
- 164
- 00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:35,316
- Mr.Ghosh, last Saturday at
- around 9:30 PM...
- 165
- 00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:37,407
- ...where exactly were you?
- 166
- 00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:39,672
- Well... I mean..
- 167
- 00:17:40,667 --> 00:17:45,082
- Once a man visited
- Mullah Naseeruddin.
- 168
- 00:17:46,067 --> 00:17:49,742
- Said his son is addicted to
- sugar & needs to be cured
- 169
- 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:55,482
- Mulla asked him to come
- after some time.
- 170
- 00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:59,011
- And then-
- 'What are you trying to say, Sir?
- 171
- 00:17:59,433 --> 00:18:02,471
- I am unable to-
- Comprehend?
- 172
- 00:18:02,967 --> 00:18:08,508
- If you don't practice abstinence,
- how will you preach it?
- 173
- 00:18:08,867 --> 00:18:10,710
- And what about Khulna?
- 174
- 00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,506
- It has a Hindu majority, right?
- 175
- 00:18:14,067 --> 00:18:18,709
- Well, yes But as seen from
- the Congress proposal...
- 176
- 00:18:18,867 --> 00:18:21,404
- ...though they most
- certainly claim Khulna,
- 177
- 00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:24,776
- they would happily trade it for the
- Muslim majority Murshidabad.
- 178
- 00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:25,902
- And in this way...
- 179
- 00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:28,974
- ...one can maintain a more
- or less 70:30 ratio...
- 180
- 00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,281
- ...between the majority &
- minority in the 2 countries.
- 181
- 00:18:32,567 --> 00:18:35,673
- And what about awarding
- Murshidabad to Pakistan?
- 182
- 00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:38,814
- That's like awarding Calcutta
- to Pakistan, my Lord.
- 183
- 00:18:39,033 --> 00:18:41,604
- Because the river system which
- feeds this part of Bengal...
- 184
- 00:18:41,767 --> 00:18:43,769
- ...would be totally destroyed if
- the line enters the area-
- 185
- 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:45,902
- Fine, fine Got it.
- 186
- 00:18:46,433 --> 00:18:48,709
- You are leveraging in the
- other factors bit...
- 187
- 00:18:48,867 --> 00:18:51,245
- ...in the partition principle.
- 188
- 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:54,970
- <i>No.</i>
- 189
- 00:18:55,533 --> 00:18:56,511
- There is no question...
- 190
- 00:18:56,633 --> 00:18:58,874
- ...of awarding Calcutta to Pakistan.
- 191
- 00:18:59,033 --> 00:19:01,843
- Or of refusing Congress, Murshidabad.
- 192
- 00:19:08,567 --> 00:19:09,511
- Hey!
- 193
- 00:19:11,533 --> 00:19:13,206
- Don't take another step!
- 194
- 00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:16,440
- Try hurting them if
- you have the guts!
- 195
- 00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:19,311
- I, Salim Mirza, promise...
- 196
- 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,778
- ...to kill you all, if
- you try and pass
- 197
- 00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:24,278
- Bloody eunuchs!
- 198
- 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:26,839
- You call yourselves Muslims?
- 199
- 00:19:45,533 --> 00:19:46,511
- Stop!
- 200
- 00:19:56,333 --> 00:19:57,903
- What a fight it was.
- 201
- 00:19:58,267 --> 00:20:00,440
- Unbelievable!
- 202
- 00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:04,177
- But our Mirza took them
- on single handedly.
- 203
- 00:20:04,533 --> 00:20:05,773
- 100 people
- 204
- 00:20:06,233 --> 00:20:07,644
- Single handedly.
- 205
- 00:20:08,233 --> 00:20:11,237
- He was a bravehean!
- 206
- 00:20:12,233 --> 00:20:16,477
- Faced 100 Muslims with
- just a staff in hand.
- 207
- 00:20:16,833 --> 00:20:18,210
- They fled.
- 208
- 00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:21,207
- All of them.
- 209
- 00:20:22,433 --> 00:20:24,435
- And our Mirza...
- 210
- 00:20:24,733 --> 00:20:29,705
- ...only rested after shepherding
- them to a camp.
- 211
- 00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:32,835
- 'What a strange country!
- 212
- 00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:34,769
- What a strange government!
- 213
- 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,778
- He got fired for killing Muslims.
- 214
- 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,845
- 'What about the
- Hindus he saved?
- 215
- 00:20:39,933 --> 00:20:44,313
- Grandma, are killing Hindus and
- Muslims the same thing?
- 216
- 00:20:48,233 --> 00:20:49,303
- Frankly my Lord,
- 217
- 00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,673
- I don't have a very good
- feeling about this.
- 218
- 00:20:52,533 --> 00:20:55,139
- This is my first visit to this country.
- 219
- 00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:56,506
- And I have no idea..
- 220
- 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,806
- ...about its religions,
- 221
- 00:20:58,167 --> 00:21:00,545
- customs, polity and people.
- 222
- 00:21:00,767 --> 00:21:02,610
- I've had barely <i>5</i> weeks...
- 223
- 00:21:03,133 --> 00:21:05,135
- ...to study the topographical
- demographics-
- 224
- 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,441
- What has to be done, has
- to be done, Radcliffe.
- 225
- 00:21:07,533 --> 00:21:09,535
- And someone had to do it.
- 226
- 00:21:10,567 --> 00:21:13,411
- Well then, do we declare the line
- at the assembly tomorrow?
- 227
- 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,772
- Or do we call in for a press?
- 228
- 00:21:14,833 --> 00:21:15,607
- Neither.
- 229
- 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,312
- But my Lord, weren't we in a hurry?
- 230
- 00:21:18,433 --> 00:21:20,208
- Nehru called thrice
- 231
- 00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:21,676
- And so did Jinnah
- 232
- 00:21:22,233 --> 00:21:25,612
- I mean weren't we planning on getting out
- of here as soon as possible?
- 233
- 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,612
- Make no mistake, Radcliffe.
- 234
- 00:21:30,133 --> 00:21:33,137
- We're about to severe
- the arms of a nation.
- 235
- 00:21:34,133 --> 00:21:38,309
- And it is going to be one bloody surgery.
- 236
- 00:21:38,667 --> 00:21:41,273
- We'd want proper
- anaesthesia, right?
- 237
- 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,743
- Anaesthesia?
- 238
- 00:21:48,533 --> 00:21:51,275
- The anaesthesia of Independence
- 239
- 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,841
- We will declare it a couple
- of days after...
- 240
- 00:21:55,267 --> 00:21:57,178
- ...the euphoria of 15th August.
- 241
- 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,640
- (Nehru's Voice) Long years ago...
- 242
- 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,603
- ...we made a tryst with destiny,
- 243
- 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,144
- and now the time comes...
- 244
- 00:22:04,233 --> 00:22:06,406
- ...when we shall redeem our pledge,
- 245
- 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,206
- not wholly or in full measure,
- 246
- 00:22:09,433 --> 00:22:11,572
- but very substantially.
- 247
- 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,676
- At the stroke of the midnight hour,
- 248
- 00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:16,542
- when the world sleeps,
- 249
- 00:22:16,667 --> 00:22:19,705
- ...India will awake to life and freedom
- 250
- 00:22:26,767 --> 00:22:28,440
- A moment comes
- 251
- 00:22:28,533 --> 00:22:30,774
- which comes but rarely in history,
- 252
- 00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:34,339
- when we step out from
- the old to the new,
- 253
- 00:22:34,567 --> 00:22:36,171
- when an age ends
- 254
- 00:22:36,467 --> 00:22:38,469
- and when the soul of a nation,
- 255
- 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,342
- long suppressed, finds utterance
- 256
- 00:22:41,533 --> 00:22:44,104
- It is fitting that at this solemn moment...
- 257
- 00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,211
- ...we take the pledge of dedication...
- 258
- 00:22:46,367 --> 00:22:49,348
- ...to the service of India & her people..
- 259
- 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,143
- ...and to the still larger cause of humanity.
- 260
- 00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,509
- At the dawn of history...
- 261
- 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,672
- ...India started on her unending quest,
- 262
- 00:22:59,633 --> 00:23:03,445
- and the trackless centuries which
- are filled with her striving,
- 263
- 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,275
- and the grandeur of her
- successes & her failures.
- 264
- 00:23:07,567 --> 00:23:10,173
- Through good and ill fortunes alike...
- 265
- 00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:12,610
- ...she has never lost sight of that quest...
- 266
- 00:23:12,767 --> 00:23:16,544
- ...or forgotten the ideals
- which gave her strength
- 267
- 00:23:17,067 --> 00:23:20,480
- 'We end today a period of ill fortunes...
- 268
- 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,647
- ...and India discovers herself again.
- 269
- 00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:37,543
- Here.
- 270
- 00:23:39,733 --> 00:23:41,076
- For Bnuchki.
- 271
- 00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:43,109
- You shouldn't have.
- 272
- 00:23:43,267 --> 00:23:45,975
- She hasn't even finished
- the previous book
- 273
- 00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,545
- 'Kings & Queens of Rajasthan'
- 274
- 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,139
- Then, these
- sweets & fireworks.
- 275
- 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,708
- Why spend so much?
- 276
- 00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:53,942
- Don't worry.
- 277
- 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,470
- What do you think?
- 278
- 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,046
- This comes from my tuition fees?
- 279
- 00:24:00,067 --> 00:24:02,707
- The party has a fund for social work.
- 280
- 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:10,478
- Begum Jaan...
- 281
- 00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:12,408
- ...today our country
- gained Independence
- 282
- 00:24:12,567 --> 00:24:14,672
- Why So glum?
- 283
- 00:24:14,967 --> 00:24:17,573
- Holidays aren't good for business.
- 284
- 00:24:18,533 --> 00:24:21,571
- Not a single customer
- since morning.
- 285
- 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,511
- Wealthy men spend such
- days with their families
- 286
- 00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:28,236
- Not at brothels.
- 287
- 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,378
- Only drunk farmers
- and savages
- 288
- 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,409
- They vomit on the beds, fight...
- 289
- 00:24:33,467 --> 00:24:35,447
- ...and they leave without paying
- 290
- 00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:38,311
- And the police are the worst.
- 291
- 00:24:41,067 --> 00:24:43,377
- Begum Jaan, Independence!
- 292
- 00:24:44,267 --> 00:24:48,113
- After 200 years we are
- independent of British rule
- 293
- 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,275
- On such an occasion-
- All the same for a whore.
- 294
- 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,042
- Fair, dark, brown or yellow, they're
- all the same in darkness.
- 295
- 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,374
- Hindu, Muslim, high caste, low caste.
- 296
- 00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:04,013
- It's all the same here.
- 297
- 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,612
- This is like a country where-
- 298
- 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,409
- Hey! Hey!
- 299
- 00:25:09,933 --> 00:25:11,537
- Hey you crazy bitch!
- 300
- 00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:14,246
- Why? Why?
- 301
- 00:25:14,367 --> 00:25:16,506
- Do you want to
- burn your face?
- 302
- 00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:17,970
- Tell me!
- 303
- 00:25:18,433 --> 00:25:20,037
- Who'll take you then?
- 304
- 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,009
- You'll become a parasite.
- 305
- 00:25:22,167 --> 00:25:23,840
- <i>I'll</i> throw you out bitch!
- 306
- 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,140
- Begum let it be. Don't
- scold her any more
- 307
- 00:25:27,333 --> 00:25:30,280
- Come with me
- - You are spoiling them!
- 308
- 00:25:30,433 --> 00:25:32,242
- Oh my!
- 309
- 00:25:32,933 --> 00:25:34,537
- What temper!
- 310
- 00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:37,413
- Shouldn't we get to
- have some fun?
- 311
- 00:25:37,467 --> 00:25:39,344
- Fun doesn't feed.
- You low caste bitch!
- 312
- 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,474
- Don't talk about castes. I'm
- of a lower caste then her.
- 313
- 00:25:44,534 --> 00:25:47,242
- But even I get angry.
- 314
- 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,511
- You should leave now, Professor.
- And don't bring gifts any more.
- 315
- 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,376
- We don't take favours
- We pay back to the last penny.
- 316
- 00:26:10,533 --> 00:26:15,175
- If not money then our bodies-
- Why are you saying these things?
- 317
- 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,136
- I come here...
- 318
- 00:26:19,867 --> 00:26:21,039
- ...for the country-
- 319
- 00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:22,977
- Let the country burn in Hell!
- 320
- 00:26:23,067 --> 00:26:25,377
- Hindu, Muslim or British,
- this is a country for men!
- 321
- 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:26,877
- How does it matter?
- 322
- 00:26:26,967 --> 00:26:30,244
- If you have the guts then
- marry one of these girls.
- 323
- 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,074
- How did marriage come
- in to all of this?
- 324
- 00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:34,335
- Begum Jaan!
- 325
- 00:26:34,533 --> 00:26:35,773
- Begum Jaan?
- 326
- 00:26:43,033 --> 00:26:44,011
- Go!
- 327
- 00:26:44,167 --> 00:26:44,975
- Go for it!
- 328
- 00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,410
- Lazy slut! Just look at him.
- 329
- 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:59,116
- How amusing it is my friend
- 330
- 00:27:00,533 --> 00:27:06,381
- As you accompany Lord Krishna
- 331
- 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,211
- His love moistens your body
- 332
- 00:27:13,167 --> 00:27:20,881
- As you accompany Lord Krishna
- 333
- 00:27:21,433 --> 00:27:26,109
- As you accompany Lord Krishna
- 334
- 00:27:26,267 --> 00:27:30,010
- His love moistens your body
- 335
- 00:27:30,067 --> 00:27:34,777
- How amusing it is my friend
- 336
- 00:27:35,067 --> 00:27:43,817
- How amusing it is my friend
- 337
- 00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:47,109
- 'What are you doing?
- 338
- 00:27:47,233 --> 00:27:48,769
- Please don't.
- 339
- 00:27:56,467 --> 00:27:57,969
- Just go!
- 340
- 00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,276
- Get out!
- 341
- 00:28:05,067 --> 00:28:06,410
- Look, look.
- 342
- 00:28:07,733 --> 00:28:09,110
- Professor?
- 343
- 00:28:09,433 --> 00:28:11,106
- Did you understand?
- 344
- 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,913
- All Begum Jaan is saying is that...
- 345
- 00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:19,077
- ...our hearts are as
- valuable as our bodies.
- 346
- 00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:21,179
- More valuable than...
- 347
- 00:28:21,334 --> 00:28:23,143
- ...sweets and fireworks.
- 348
- 00:28:24,234 --> 00:28:27,875
- But I think you can afford it.
- 349
- 00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:31,010
- Well, gentlemen,
- 350
- 00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:31,899
- shall we resume?
- 351
- 00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,072
- Shall we resume?
- 352
- 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,242
- Yes
- 353
- 00:28:34,433 --> 00:28:35,275
- Yes
- 354
- 00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:39,047
- Now for the award of the
- Bengal Boundary Commission
- 355
- 00:28:39,733 --> 00:28:40,905
- And we sincerely hope..
- 356
- 00:28:41,033 --> 00:28:43,946
- ...we don't have a North-West Frontier
- Province kind of a situation.
- 357
- 00:28:44,167 --> 00:28:45,805
- No, sir.
- 358
- 00:28:46,167 --> 00:28:48,670
- It's far more complicated than that.
- 359
- 00:28:48,833 --> 00:28:50,710
- It would be much simpler...
- 360
- 00:28:51,167 --> 00:28:52,407
- ...if we could follow...
- 361
- 00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:54,709
- ...the principles of contiguity...
- 362
- 00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,069
- ...as proposed by our party.
- 363
- 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,008
- And even simpler...
- 364
- 00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:01,104
- ...if we award the entire province
- of Bengal to Pakistan.
- 365
- 00:29:01,733 --> 00:29:04,111
- Now, now gentlemen, let's not deviate.
- 366
- 00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:05,176
- The line.
- 367
- 00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:11,910
- Oh Father!
- 368
- 00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:18,107
- I am having to leave home
- 369
- 00:29:18,667 --> 00:29:21,866
- Oh Father!
- 370
- 00:29:21,867 --> 00:29:23,608
- That is how the line..
- 371
- 00:29:24,067 --> 00:29:25,603
- ...after going through Dinajpur...
- 372
- 00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:29,780
- ...will pass through the entirely Muslim
- dominated district of Malda
- 373
- 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,766
- The line shall then turn South-East...
- 374
- 00:29:31,767 --> 00:29:31,801
- The line shall then turn South-East...
- 375
- 00:29:31,933 --> 00:29:33,207
- ...down the river Ganges...
- 376
- 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,374
- ...along the boundaries between
- the districts of...
- 377
- 00:29:36,767 --> 00:29:38,974
- ...Malda and Murshidabad and...
- 378
- 00:29:39,167 --> 00:29:41,010
- Rajshahi and Nadia
- 379
- 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,676
- To the point in the North-Western corner...
- 380
- 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,211
- ...of the district of Nadia..
- 381
- 00:29:45,267 --> 00:29:48,646
- ...where the channel of
- the river Mathabhanga..
- 382
- 00:29:49,067 --> 00:29:51,308
- ...takes off from the river Ganges
- 383
- 00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:57,709
- Your courtyard is like a mountain,
- 384
- 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,946
- And the threshold,
- a foreign country.
- 385
- 00:30:05,334 --> 00:30:10,044
- Your courtyard is like a mountain,
- 386
- 00:30:10,633 --> 00:30:11,338
- Sir?
- 387
- 00:30:11,634 --> 00:30:13,079
- Mr. Ilias is here.
- 388
- 00:30:16,267 --> 00:30:17,803
- Bring him in
- 389
- 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,270
- So?
- 390
- 00:30:28,633 --> 00:30:30,544
- How are you?
- 391
- 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:33,073
- Exactly how you all have kept us.
- 392
- 00:30:33,233 --> 00:30:35,213
- You all?
- 393
- 00:30:36,267 --> 00:30:37,769
- Oh.
- 394
- 00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:39,938
- Wow!
- 395
- 00:30:42,034 --> 00:30:44,071
- 'What else?
- 396
- 00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:48,546
- Mr. Suhrawardy's communally
- inciting speech in August,
- 397
- 00:30:48,667 --> 00:30:50,510
- still haunts me
- 398
- 00:30:53,967 --> 00:30:55,674
- How's your mother?
- 399
- 00:30:56,067 --> 00:30:57,512
- Kusum?
- - Good.
- 400
- 00:30:57,633 --> 00:30:59,010
- Both of them.
- 401
- 00:31:01,167 --> 00:31:03,773
- Both narrowly escaped being raped.
- 402
- 00:31:28,833 --> 00:31:30,176
- Sorry lli.
- 403
- 00:31:34,734 --> 00:31:36,736
- How are you?
- 404
- 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,571
- Your wife Nazia?
- 405
- 00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:47,709
- She's not well.
- 406
- 00:31:49,234 --> 00:31:51,737
- She's dead, actually.
- 407
- 00:31:57,733 --> 00:32:00,145
- First she was raped.
- 408
- 00:32:01,167 --> 00:32:03,807
- Then set on fire.
- 409
- 00:32:17,867 --> 00:32:19,676
- Mom! Oh Mom!
- 410
- 00:32:19,867 --> 00:32:21,437
- Move! Mom!
- 411
- 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,973
- Come let's play.
- 412
- 00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:26,911
- I can't play now.
- Go play with Banno.
- 413
- 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,779
- No! I want to play with you.
- 414
- 00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:33,403
- Oh God!
- 415
- 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,409
- Tantrums during business hours!
- 416
- 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,046
- Let go! Grandma
- take care of her.
- 417
- 00:32:38,133 --> 00:32:40,135
- My darling girl...
- 418
- 00:32:40,434 --> 00:32:42,175
- We have so many stories to read
- 419
- 00:32:42,433 --> 00:32:44,936
- The tales of Hambir, Rana Pratap,
- Padmini (Kings & Queens)-
- 420
- 00:32:45,034 --> 00:32:47,036
- I don't want to hear any stories!
- 421
- 00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:50,603
- I don't like stories where
- I can't ask questions!
- 422
- 00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:52,738
- Let's go play-
- 423
- 00:32:53,167 --> 00:32:53,941
- Hey kid!
- 424
- 00:32:54,133 --> 00:32:54,975
- Listen up.
- 425
- 00:32:55,067 --> 00:32:56,876
- Let's go picking wild figs.
- 426
- 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,035
- Come with me
- 427
- 00:32:58,134 --> 00:32:59,807
- Koli, take care of her.
- 428
- 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:04,574
- Want to see baby pythons?
- 429
- 00:33:04,667 --> 00:33:07,045
- I don't want to go anywhere!
- 430
- 00:33:07,467 --> 00:33:09,413
- Just go. <i>I'll</i> take care of her.
- 431
- 00:33:10,433 --> 00:33:11,935
- Don't cry...
- 432
- 00:33:12,467 --> 00:33:13,878
- I think <i>I'll</i> leave
- 433
- 00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:15,843
- Could I have my money back?
- - Wait, don't go.
- 434
- 00:33:15,967 --> 00:33:17,446
- Hey! You son of a bitch!
- 435
- 00:33:17,567 --> 00:33:19,672
- Can't you see that a mother is
- talking to her child?
- 436
- 00:33:19,767 --> 00:33:21,644
- Why are you creating a ruckus?
- 437
- 00:33:21,734 --> 00:33:23,042
- I was just saying-
- 438
- 00:33:23,133 --> 00:33:24,510
- What were you saying?
- 439
- 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,877
- Are you getting late?
- Come to my room
- 440
- 00:33:27,967 --> 00:33:29,969
- Hey! You sleazy slut!
- 441
- 00:33:30,167 --> 00:33:32,841
- I've warned you not to
- steal my customers!
- 442
- 00:33:32,967 --> 00:33:34,776
- Get lost!
- 443
- 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,471
- Mom...
- 444
- 00:33:38,134 --> 00:33:39,545
- Listen to me.
- 445
- 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,409
- Play with Banno now.
- 446
- 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,874
- I'll join you later.
- 447
- 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,379
- No! I want to play with you!
- 448
- 00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:48,538
- Just stop it!
- 449
- 00:33:48,633 --> 00:33:50,874
- Begum Jaan will be here
- any moment now!
- 450
- 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,877
- Why force her?
- 451
- 00:33:53,133 --> 00:33:54,771
- Hey you bloody bugger!
- 452
- 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,412
- Is this a brothel or
- a playground?
- 453
- 00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:01,573
- You won't get a single penny
- back! Just get lost!
- 454
- 00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:03,373
- But I didn't even touch her.
- 455
- 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,443
- What is happening here?
- 456
- 00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:10,571
- Koli, Duli and Lata..
- 457
- 00:34:10,700 --> 00:34:12,680
- We have customers from Goalpara
- 458
- 00:34:12,767 --> 00:34:14,542
- See what they need.
- 459
- 00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:17,443
- Banno, Golap should
- be done by now.
- 460
- 00:34:17,700 --> 00:34:19,543
- Check if the room is empty.
- 461
- 00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:21,771
- Rubina, call Sujan.
- 462
- 00:34:22,033 --> 00:34:24,479
- Ask him to perform his act.
- 463
- 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,035
- And Grandma..
- 464
- 00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,876
- ...please step inside.
- 465
- 00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:33,538
- Juthika..
- Why can't I play with Mom?
- 466
- 00:34:33,667 --> 00:34:35,772
- More questions!
- 467
- 00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:40,040
- You see this uncle here?
- 468
- 00:34:40,667 --> 00:34:44,274
- Your mother has very important
- business with him now.
- 469
- 00:34:44,633 --> 00:34:46,704
- And I have promised that...
- 470
- 00:34:46,934 --> 00:34:49,710
- ...they shall not be disturbed.
- 471
- 00:34:49,967 --> 00:34:55,007
- If you play now, I shall
- be proved a liar.
- 472
- 00:34:55,467 --> 00:34:59,506
- Would you want that?
- 473
- 00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:06,848
- Rubina! Call Sujan & Shabnam.
- 474
- 00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:31,738
- All well at office?
- 475
- 00:35:32,534 --> 00:35:35,743
- I had no idea
- 476
- 00:35:37,533 --> 00:35:39,535
- I saw it all.
- 477
- 00:35:40,267 --> 00:35:41,940
- One by one, they-
- Betel leaf!
- 478
- 00:35:42,433 --> 00:35:46,245
- Still spits out betel leaf.
- 479
- 00:35:46,567 --> 00:35:49,343
- Same old Mr. Shyam-
- 480
- 00:35:49,434 --> 00:35:53,439
- 'What about Mr. Johnson?
- 481
- 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,244
- Sorry, lli.
- 482
- 00:36:04,967 --> 00:36:07,345
- You were allergic to
- gulal (coloured powder).
- 483
- 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:09,741
- You'd never play Holi.
- 484
- 00:36:11,367 --> 00:36:12,744
- But we would.
- 485
- 00:36:12,967 --> 00:36:15,880
- And you'd sneak in to
- eat Halim and beef.
- 486
- 00:36:16,267 --> 00:36:17,575
- Right?
- 487
- 00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:23,280
- That was along time ago.
- 488
- 00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:31,274
- I don't think our relationship-
- Fine!
- 489
- 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,648
- No one will know that we
- were friends or colleagues.
- 490
- 00:36:37,934 --> 00:36:40,938
- We shall remain 'enemies'.
- 491
- 00:36:41,367 --> 00:36:45,816
- People would know
- us as members of...
- 492
- 00:36:45,934 --> 00:36:49,905
- the Congress & the Muslim League
- 493
- 00:36:51,233 --> 00:36:52,940
- We shall do our work.
- 494
- 00:36:53,334 --> 00:36:55,780
- Then leave
- 495
- 00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,279
- We'll never meet again.
- 496
- 00:36:59,534 --> 00:37:02,481
- There’s just one problem.
- 497
- 00:37:03,467 --> 00:37:05,913
- The roots go so deep...
- 498
- 00:37:06,367 --> 00:37:09,405
- ...that-
- Don't worry.
- 499
- 00:37:09,534 --> 00:37:11,445
- Believe me..
- 500
- 00:37:11,833 --> 00:37:15,474
- ...It's easy for you to hate me now.
- 501
- 00:37:15,634 --> 00:37:18,342
- And of course, vice-versa.
- 502
- 00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:23,173
- Just recollect the atrocities
- 503
- 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,578
- Have you studied the plan?
- 504
- 00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:27,872
- Yes
- 505
- 00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:30,869
- It's a little complicated.
- 506
- 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,410
- There's a lot of barren land.
- But that's alright.
- 507
- 00:37:36,467 --> 00:37:38,469
- I took a preliminary tour.
- 508
- 00:37:38,767 --> 00:37:40,405
- There'll be a jungle
- 509
- 00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:45,415
- Let's go. The officers from
- Haldibari and Debiganj are waiting.
- 510
- 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,739
- Which side are we on?
- 511
- 00:37:51,267 --> 00:37:54,544
- India!
- 512
- 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,443
- According to Mr.Radcliffe's line..
- 513
- 00:37:58,734 --> 00:38:01,681
- ...the border check post will be...
- 514
- 00:38:01,867 --> 00:38:04,814
- ...in between Haldibari
- & Debiganj town.
- 515
- 00:38:04,867 --> 00:38:07,643
- The barbed-wire fence
- will be put up there.
- 516
- 00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:09,702
- Along the Radcliffe line.
- 517
- 00:38:10,634 --> 00:38:13,843
- That is how the Indo-Pak
- border will be determined
- 518
- 00:38:14,267 --> 00:38:19,080
- We need your help in setting
- up the fence & check post.
- 519
- 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:25,310
- 'Will there be riots like in
- Delhi, Amritsar & Lahore?
- 520
- 00:38:25,467 --> 00:38:26,673
- Possibly.
- 521
- 00:38:26,734 --> 00:38:28,805
- But the Muslim League won't
- take that responsibility.
- 522
- 00:38:28,867 --> 00:38:31,848
- So the townspeople should
- cross over now.
- 523
- 00:38:32,134 --> 00:38:35,172
- Because soon they will need a permit.
- 524
- 00:38:36,234 --> 00:38:38,145
- There'll be riots.
- 525
- 00:38:38,433 --> 00:38:41,073
- Mass murder of the minority.
- 526
- 00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:44,808
- Men shall become animals.
- 527
- 00:38:58,634 --> 00:39:01,137
- Now a monkey.
- 528
- 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,009
- Now a tiger!
- 529
- 00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,480
- Let's have an elephant.
- 530
- 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,171
- Like the one here
- 531
- 00:39:26,233 --> 00:39:28,144
- Who are you calling an elephant?
- 532
- 00:39:28,234 --> 00:39:30,180
- Have you seen yourself?
- 533
- 00:39:36,534 --> 00:39:40,710
- According to Mr.Radcliffe's line..
- 534
- 00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:45,749
- ...that is where the border will pass.
- 535
- 00:39:46,167 --> 00:39:50,547
- Through that jungle, Mr.Akhtar.
- 536
- 00:39:50,734 --> 00:39:57,982
- The fence will bend like a river, Rangpur
- and this side will be India
- 537
- 00:39:58,067 --> 00:40:00,206
- Whose last station will be Haldibari.
- 538
- 00:40:00,267 --> 00:40:02,042
- And the other side is Pakistan.
- 539
- 00:40:02,167 --> 00:40:04,078
- First station will be Debiganj.
- 540
- 00:40:04,234 --> 00:40:06,009
- In the middle...
- 541
- 00:40:06,134 --> 00:40:09,445
- ...there will be border check posts...
- 542
- 00:40:10,334 --> 00:40:11,608
- 'What's that?
- 543
- 00:40:12,534 --> 00:40:15,378
- See that, Mr.Sen?
- 544
- 00:40:21,167 --> 00:40:22,339
- 'What's that Shashi?
- 545
- 00:40:22,433 --> 00:40:26,609
- You find these establishments
- around town borders...
- 546
- 00:40:27,067 --> 00:40:28,512
- A Dargah?
- 547
- 00:40:28,733 --> 00:40:30,235
- Oh no!
- 548
- 00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:34,073
- It's a brothel. Begum Jaan's brothel.
- 549
- 00:40:35,333 --> 00:40:37,973
- We'll have to take
- down the building.
- 550
- 00:40:38,167 --> 00:40:41,410
- Because Mr. Radcliffe's border
- will pass through it.
- 551
- 00:40:41,533 --> 00:40:43,672
- And it is very likely that...
- 552
- 00:40:44,134 --> 00:40:47,377
- ...check posts will
- be placed there.
- 553
- 00:40:48,067 --> 00:40:53,107
- Can't we bypass it?
- 554
- 00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,042
- We have to inspect the place.
- 555
- 00:40:56,234 --> 00:40:59,408
- But why are you so scared?
- 556
- 00:40:59,667 --> 00:41:03,581
- Hold on Mr.Akhtar. Let me explain.
- 557
- 00:41:03,634 --> 00:41:07,673
- Begum Jaan, the woman
- who runs the place..
- 558
- 00:41:08,267 --> 00:41:10,941
- ...Is a total terror.
- 559
- 00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,138
- Loud-mouthed and heavy-handed.
- 560
- 00:41:14,434 --> 00:41:17,108
- She has very influential customers
- 561
- 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,942
- Nawabs, sahibs landlords...
- 562
- 00:41:20,067 --> 00:41:23,571
- So she doesn't care for the law.
- 563
- 00:41:23,667 --> 00:41:26,978
- Be careful. Take my hand.
- 564
- 00:41:27,334 --> 00:41:30,110
- Where is she from?
- 565
- 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,339
- No one knows her real name.
- 566
- 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:37,406
- But I've heard that she's a local.
- 567
- 00:41:37,533 --> 00:41:39,638
- She went to Varanasi after marriage.
- 568
- 00:41:39,967 --> 00:41:42,038
- But was soon widowed as a child
- 569
- 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,202
- And the rest is history.
- 570
- 00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:48,077
- She was sold to a brothel.
- 571
- 00:41:48,167 --> 00:41:51,046
- She then escaped to Lucknow.
- 572
- 00:41:51,134 --> 00:41:54,308
- Where she made it big as a courtesan.
- 573
- 00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:00,309
- After some years, she returned
- 574
- 00:42:00,434 --> 00:42:04,246
- And opened her brothel
- between the towns.
- 575
- 00:42:04,334 --> 00:42:08,976
- She is protected by the
- Nawab of Rangpur.
- 576
- 00:42:09,134 --> 00:42:13,014
- Hence, could pull this off.
- 577
- 00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:35,300
- The heart can'! accept...
- 578
- 00:42:41,567 --> 00:42:49,042
- The heart can'! accept...
- 579
- 00:42:49,434 --> 00:42:56,443
- The heart can'! accept...
- 580
- 00:42:57,100 --> 00:43:05,952
- The heart can'! accept...
- 581
- 00:43:06,934 --> 00:43:13,476
- The heart can'! accept...
- 582
- 00:43:33,234 --> 00:43:42,518
- Alas! The heart can'! accept...
- 583
- 00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:49,500
- Alas! The heart can'! accept...
- 584
- 00:43:56,534 --> 00:44:02,177
- ...that when the night is done
- 585
- 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:07,400
- My beloved doesn't recognize me
- 586
- 00:44:14,767 --> 00:44:16,474
- Alas!
- 587
- 00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:19,046
- Alas!
- 588
- 00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:23,245
- The heart can'! accept...
- 589
- 00:44:37,434 --> 00:44:42,349
- This time when you leave
- 590
- 00:44:43,067 --> 00:44:48,779
- Do wake me up
- 591
- 00:44:49,167 --> 00:44:54,378
- So that the empty bed beside me
- 592
- 00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:00,040
- Doesn't cause me heartburn
- 593
- 00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:06,748
- Don't want to drape myself
- with the stole of sorrow
- 594
- 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,247
- The heart can'! accept...
- 595
- 00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:18,116
- ...that when the night is done
- 596
- 00:45:18,334 --> 00:45:23,334
- My beloved doesn't recognize me
- 597
- 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,641
- The heart can'! accept...
- 598
- 00:45:35,667 --> 00:45:37,977
- Alas!
- 599
- 00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:40,846
- Alas!
- 600
- 00:45:41,934 --> 00:45:45,279
- The heart can'! accept...
- 601
- 00:45:46,367 --> 00:45:46,399
- On a silent evening,
- 602
- 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,040
- On a silent evening,
- 603
- 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,876
- Pushpabati could hear the sound
- of hooves on the mountain.
- 604
- 00:45:54,134 --> 00:45:56,910
- Sometimes the songs of an old Jam,
- 605
- 00:45:57,134 --> 00:45:59,876
- And the sweet voice of the shepherd,
- 606
- 00:46:00,067 --> 00:46:02,604
- would blow in the winds
- 607
- 00:46:02,667 --> 00:46:04,772
- Then atop the Vindhya mountains,
- 608
- 00:46:04,867 --> 00:46:07,006
- at the temple of
- the Goddess Bhavani,
- 609
- 00:46:07,167 --> 00:46:10,046
- the puja bell would toll.
- 610
- 00:46:10,134 --> 00:46:11,670
- Then Pushpabati,
- 611
- 00:46:11,867 --> 00:46:15,371
- would hide the King's
- letter in her hair,
- 612
- 00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:19,279
- wear a saree &
- worship the Goddess.
- 613
- 00:46:19,734 --> 00:46:21,042
- In her heart,
- 614
- 00:46:21,267 --> 00:46:25,079
- she'd pray for the King.
- 615
- 00:46:25,267 --> 00:46:27,247
- Who's our Goddess?
- 616
- 00:46:27,767 --> 00:46:30,247
- Who do we pray to?
- 617
- 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:51,200
- All my friends have forsaken me
- 618
- 00:46:57,934 --> 00:47:02,934
- Now my eyes will remain
- lonely for an eternity
- 619
- 00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:14,700
- All my friends have forsaken me
- 620
- 00:47:21,234 --> 00:47:26,234
- Now my eyes will remain
- lonely for an eternity
- 621
- 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:38,000
- Finally have reconciled to
- the separation from my beloved
- 622
- 00:47:44,767 --> 00:47:49,767
- Am a stranger to myself,
- have antagonized the world
- 623
- 00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:02,082
- At an age when sunshine dims
- 624
- 00:48:02,234 --> 00:48:05,772
- The heart can'! accept...
- 625
- 00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:13,173
- According to the map the Radcliffe line
- passes right through this house
- 626
- 00:48:13,500 --> 00:48:14,808
- Oh God!
- 627
- 00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:19,571
- So you're saying that one half
- of this house is in India,
- 628
- 00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:21,611
- ...& the other in Pakistan.
- 629
- 00:48:21,767 --> 00:48:25,510
- Seems like the British have played
- tic-tac-toe with the Partition.
- 630
- 00:48:25,967 --> 00:48:29,005
- I'm sure they thought through it
- 631
- 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,511
- So what do we do now?
- 632
- 00:48:32,834 --> 00:48:34,814
- Evict them. Destroy the house.
- 633
- 00:48:34,934 --> 00:48:37,676
- Can't put a barbed fence
- through a courtyard.
- 634
- 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,041
- Or border check posts beside it.
- 635
- 00:48:40,167 --> 00:48:42,169
- True
- 636
- 00:48:42,567 --> 00:48:45,912
- The military as neighbours would be-
- 637
- 00:48:48,534 --> 00:48:50,104
- How do we..
- 638
- 00:48:50,234 --> 00:48:51,872
- Proper paperwork.
- 639
- 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,742
- Eviction notice, govt. officials...
- 640
- 00:48:54,934 --> 00:48:56,811
- It can't be a sudden invasion
- 641
- 00:48:56,934 --> 00:48:58,538
- Let's call it a day.
- 642
- 00:48:58,967 --> 00:49:04,747
- We've to return soon. The fence
- work will start next month.
- 643
- 00:49:08,934 --> 00:49:11,608
- 'Will you go or not?
- 644
- 00:49:12,034 --> 00:49:13,775
- I won't.
- 645
- 00:49:15,667 --> 00:49:17,544
- Are you sure?
- 646
- 00:49:18,634 --> 00:49:20,910
- Didn't I say I wouldn't?
- 647
- 00:49:22,834 --> 00:49:24,780
- Fine. Don't have to.
- 648
- 00:49:28,900 --> 00:49:30,641
- Hey!
- 649
- 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,080
- Please let's go.
- 650
- 00:49:34,534 --> 00:49:37,014
- Where to?
- 651
- 00:49:38,767 --> 00:49:40,644
- This is our home.
- 652
- 00:49:40,767 --> 00:49:43,373
- This is all we have
- 653
- 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,681
- Don't you want a family,
- far away from here?
- 654
- 00:49:50,767 --> 00:49:52,940
- A family?
- 655
- 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,476
- My family is here
- 656
- 00:50:05,533 --> 00:50:07,672
- I don't like it!
- 657
- 00:50:08,567 --> 00:50:09,773
- What?
- 658
- 00:50:10,700 --> 00:50:13,544
- Those men who visit
- you at night.
- 659
- 00:50:13,633 --> 00:50:16,512
- And then... I hate it!
- 660
- 00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:18,338
- You bring them to me
- 661
- 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,676
- I know! But what can I do?
- 662
- 00:50:22,767 --> 00:50:25,475
- I owe Begum Jaan too much.
- 663
- 00:50:25,734 --> 00:50:28,044
- Obligations.
- 664
- 00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:30,844
- Have to do something...
- 665
- 00:50:31,467 --> 00:50:34,346
- Can'! a pimp fall in love?
- 666
- 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,546
- 'What did you say?
- 667
- 00:50:36,767 --> 00:50:38,747
- What can'! happen?
- 668
- 00:50:38,867 --> 00:50:40,073
- Tell me
- 669
- 00:50:40,367 --> 00:50:40,868
- Nothing.
- 670
- 00:50:40,967 --> 00:50:42,878
- Tell me!
- 671
- 00:50:43,967 --> 00:50:45,674
- Love.
- 672
- 00:50:45,967 --> 00:50:48,641
- What is so funny?
- 673
- 00:50:51,367 --> 00:50:53,938
- Come on, now in English
- 674
- 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:54,808
- Please.
- 675
- 00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:56,402
- No, I can't.
- 676
- 00:50:56,533 --> 00:50:58,342
- Please.
- 677
- 00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,806
- Say it.
- 678
- 00:51:00,367 --> 00:51:01,402
- Say it!
- 679
- 00:51:04,667 --> 00:51:06,738
- I love you.
- 680
- 00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:36,411
- He)' 5ujan!
- 681
- 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,806
- What's the matter?
- 682
- 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,607
- Why are you crying
- like a little girl?
- 683
- 00:51:45,300 --> 00:51:46,779
- Let me go!
- - I won't.
- 684
- 00:51:47,434 --> 00:51:48,879
- What happened?
- - Let me go!
- 685
- 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,674
- 'What happened?
- - Let me go, you witch!
- 686
- 00:51:51,867 --> 00:51:53,778
- Let me go!
- 687
- 00:51:54,067 --> 00:51:57,708
- Let me go, you bloody bitch!
- 688
- 00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:01,879
- People come and enjoy
- my wife every night.
- 689
- 00:52:03,367 --> 00:52:08,544
- Feel like slaughtering them!
- 690
- 00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:18,341
- Hey!
- 691
- 00:52:24,334 --> 00:52:26,575
- Do you know what this is?
- 692
- 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,375
- Breasts.
- 693
- 00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:32,802
- Flesh.
- 694
- 00:52:33,234 --> 00:52:36,977
- 'With which mothers
- feed their children.
- 695
- 00:52:40,467 --> 00:52:43,471
- Do you know what this is?
- 696
- 00:52:43,967 --> 00:52:45,810
- Vagina.
- 697
- 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,209
- Like the forehead,
- 698
- 00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:53,214
- elbow, nose, ear, neck,
- 699
- 00:52:53,433 --> 00:52:56,437
- just another body part.
- 700
- 00:52:58,434 --> 00:53:00,744
- It's skin.
- 701
- 00:53:03,267 --> 00:53:05,508
- Just skin.
- 702
- 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,410
- Skin of various hues
- 703
- 00:53:29,234 --> 00:53:33,478
- And do you know
- what this is?
- 704
- 00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:40,474
- This is your Rubina
- 705
- 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,306
- Only this.
- 706
- 00:53:50,633 --> 00:53:53,477
- Everything else is..
- 707
- 00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,310
- Like Grandma says..
- 708
- 00:54:01,500 --> 00:54:05,277
- ...written in the Gita,
- your holy text.
- 709
- 00:54:05,567 --> 00:54:08,571
- Old clothes
- 710
- 00:54:08,834 --> 00:54:12,213
- Which we change everyday.
- 711
- 00:54:38,134 --> 00:54:40,444
- A storm is brewing
- 712
- 00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:41,843
- Let's go.
- 713
- 00:54:55,700 --> 00:54:58,203
- Let's go.
- - Not today.
- 714
- 00:54:58,367 --> 00:55:00,176
- Stomach ache
- 715
- 00:55:00,367 --> 00:55:02,540
- Begum Jaan-
- Hey!
- 716
- 00:55:02,767 --> 00:55:04,474
- Didn't I say my
- stomach's aching?
- 717
- 00:55:04,534 --> 00:55:06,605
- Can't I have an upset tummy?
- 718
- 00:55:07,267 --> 00:55:10,077
- Drag me & everything comes out.
- 719
- 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,838
- Golap!
- 720
- 00:55:12,167 --> 00:55:15,614
- Go inside. Don't
- be stubborn.
- 721
- 00:55:23,367 --> 00:55:27,110
- Didn't you hear me?
- 722
- 00:55:27,233 --> 00:55:30,578
- Move it. I've taken
- the payment.
- 723
- 00:55:31,834 --> 00:55:33,370
- Bloody bastard!
- 724
- 00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:37,312
- I'm very ill.
- 725
- 00:55:37,434 --> 00:55:41,109
- Please let it be for today.
- 726
- 00:55:41,300 --> 00:55:47,273
- Feeling feverish.
- 727
- 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,580
- Same old excuse.
- 728
- 00:55:50,134 --> 00:55:52,512
- Don'! piss me off during
- business hours!
- 729
- 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,046
- I know you're lying!
- 730
- 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,647
- Waiting to flirt with the
- Professor, when he comes.
- 731
- 00:55:59,033 --> 00:56:01,479
- 'Will not tolerate
- this nonsense here-
- 732
- 00:56:01,534 --> 00:56:03,309
- Why?
- 733
- 00:56:04,133 --> 00:56:06,204
- Want to keep Professor for yourself?
- 734
- 00:56:07,667 --> 00:56:10,477
- Excuse me, Begum Jaan.
- Some officers are here.
- 735
- 00:56:10,667 --> 00:56:13,580
- 'With a government order.
- 736
- 00:56:19,067 --> 00:56:20,637
- Aunt Rubina!
- 737
- 00:56:20,734 --> 00:56:22,509
- Aunt Rubina!
- 738
- 00:56:23,333 --> 00:56:24,403
- <i>What's happened'?</i>
- 739
- 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,238
- Come fast! It's the police!
- 740
- 00:56:26,367 --> 00:56:28,108
- Greetings Begum Jaan.
- 741
- 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,111
- All OK?
- 742
- 00:56:33,034 --> 00:56:34,513
- Greetings
- 743
- 00:56:35,034 --> 00:56:36,274
- All was OK.
- 744
- 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:38,241
- Till I saw your face.
- 745
- 00:56:38,534 --> 00:56:39,569
- I see.
- 746
- 00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:44,376
- You have more important
- faces to meet today.
- 747
- 00:56:45,533 --> 00:56:48,639
- Please take these
- dogs away, Mirza
- 748
- 00:56:49,167 --> 00:56:51,670
- Make sure they don't
- enter the house
- 749
- 00:56:51,767 --> 00:56:53,747
- Sure, Begum Jaan
- 750
- 00:56:59,467 --> 00:57:00,468
- So...
- 751
- 00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:02,008
- 'What's the issue?
- 752
- 00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:04,239
- Actually we had come to-
- 753
- 00:57:04,300 --> 00:57:09,374
- Remember what happened the last
- time you asked for free service
- 754
- 00:57:10,534 --> 00:57:13,140
- Please don't embarrass me.
- 755
- 00:57:13,234 --> 00:57:15,612
- We've come for something else.
- 756
- 00:57:15,734 --> 00:57:17,680
- Duped new fry, is it?
- 757
- 00:57:17,967 --> 00:57:19,708
- For heaven's sake!
- 758
- 00:57:20,034 --> 00:57:22,640
- Mind your language.
- 759
- 00:57:23,034 --> 00:57:26,413
- These gentlemen are important
- officers from India & Pakistan.
- 760
- 00:57:26,634 --> 00:57:28,170
- They have a government order.
- 761
- 00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:30,246
- Not again!
- 762
- 00:57:30,567 --> 00:57:33,673
- We won't go to the
- camps to get examined.
- 763
- 00:57:34,167 --> 00:57:36,078
- Syphilis is a double-edged sword.
- 764
- 00:57:36,167 --> 00:57:38,374
- Can't service the sahibs for free
- 765
- 00:57:38,433 --> 00:57:40,003
- We..
- 766
- 00:57:40,133 --> 00:57:41,976
- ...haven't come for that.
- 767
- 00:57:43,434 --> 00:57:47,143
- We're here with an
- eviction notice.
- 768
- 00:57:55,367 --> 00:57:56,971
- What notice?
- 769
- 00:57:57,267 --> 00:57:58,302
- Let me explain.
- 770
- 00:57:58,434 --> 00:58:00,380
- You need to vacate the house
- 771
- 00:58:01,434 --> 00:58:06,213
- Border check posts will
- be built on this land.
- 772
- 00:58:06,467 --> 00:58:12,577
- And the Indo-Pak border will
- pass through this house.
- 773
- 00:58:34,167 --> 00:58:36,511
- Hey girl, open the door.
- It's the police!
- 774
- 00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:38,511
- If it's a raid, don't worry.
- 775
- 00:58:40,333 --> 00:58:43,940
- A hand-job to Shashi
- and things will be OK.
- 776
- 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,401
- Nothing will happen
- 777
- 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,266
- Bitch, just open the door.
- 778
- 00:58:48,267 --> 00:58:49,371
- Hold on, bitch!
- Move!
- 779
- 00:58:50,234 --> 00:58:52,214
- What happened, bitch?
- 780
- 00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:56,373
- Some assholes are here saying
- we need to vacate this place.
- 781
- 00:58:56,634 --> 00:58:59,274
- Is it that easy, huh?
- 782
- 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,445
- Are you mad?
- 783
- 00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:06,279
- Come, let's see who does what.
- We'll hack them to pieces.
- 784
- 00:59:06,434 --> 00:59:08,846
- We'll kill them all, come.
- 785
- 00:59:10,934 --> 00:59:14,211
- The two pieces of paper you are seeing...
- 786
- 00:59:15,067 --> 00:59:16,944
- These are government notices.
- 787
- 00:59:17,433 --> 00:59:19,504
- One from Karachi and one from Delhi.
- 788
- 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,038
- Few months ago...
- 789
- 00:59:22,434 --> 00:59:25,847
- ...a law was passed called
- 'Boundary Commission Act'.
- 790
- 00:59:26,034 --> 00:59:29,243
- As a result of which a border
- between India & Pakistan-
- 791
- 00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:30,802
- International.
- 792
- 00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,141
- An International border
- has been created.
- 793
- 00:59:34,067 --> 00:59:35,273
- As per which...
- 794
- 00:59:35,367 --> 00:59:37,904
- ...we're here to set up
- the barbed wire fence.
- 795
- 00:59:39,234 --> 00:59:41,373
- And unfortunately...
- 796
- 00:59:41,533 --> 00:59:47,973
- ...the Radcliffe line passes
- through your house.
- 797
- 00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:50,808
- So see, if we have to...
- 798
- 00:59:50,900 --> 00:59:53,938
- ...set up a barbed wire fence, we
- will need to destroy this house.
- 799
- 00:59:54,133 --> 00:59:55,339
- So if you could-
- 800
- 00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:56,911
- Wait, wait!
- 801
- 00:59:57,067 --> 00:59:58,273
- What is it?
- 802
- 01:00:01,434 --> 01:00:04,108
- So what you're saying is...
- 803
- 01:00:04,367 --> 01:00:09,510
- that those who are standing on
- that side of the courtyard,
- 804
- 01:00:11,567 --> 01:00:14,514
- are standing in India
- 805
- 01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:21,813
- And those standing on this side,
- 806
- 01:00:21,967 --> 01:00:24,413
- are standing in Pakistan?
- 807
- 01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:28,911
- Yes
- 808
- 01:00:29,267 --> 01:00:29,972
- Huh?
- 809
- 01:00:30,234 --> 01:00:31,212
- Yes!
- 810
- 01:00:33,167 --> 01:00:35,408
- It would be best, if you
- read the notice yourself.
- 811
- 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,110
- It's impossible to explain it all.
- 812
- 01:00:39,234 --> 01:00:41,942
- It's self-explanatory.
- 813
- 01:00:46,267 --> 01:00:48,269
- Better if you see it for yourself.
- 814
- 01:00:48,367 --> 01:00:50,904
- Then you'll understand.
- 815
- 01:00:51,067 --> 01:00:53,308
- Can you read?
- 816
- 01:00:54,334 --> 01:00:57,110
- Should I read it for you?
- 817
- 01:00:59,134 --> 01:01:00,909
- Should I?
- 818
- 01:01:03,934 --> 01:01:05,413
- Unbelievable!
- 819
- 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,071
- Take a look.
- 820
- 01:01:25,767 --> 01:01:28,145
- A line through the middle!
- We're here, they're there!
- 821
- 01:01:33,267 --> 01:01:35,372
- What's so funny?
- 822
- 01:01:44,067 --> 01:01:48,209
- Sahib, your Radcliffe seems
- to be quite a weirdo.
- 823
- 01:01:50,134 --> 01:01:52,910
- If he had to hack the
- country like a butcher,
- 824
- 01:01:53,034 --> 01:01:56,243
- couldn't he have done a better job?
- 825
- 01:01:56,334 --> 01:01:58,405
- I think we-
- 826
- 01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:03,980
- Rubina, our butcher Rahim
- is definitely better.
- 827
- 01:02:07,734 --> 01:02:09,111
- Ask for the leg, he'll
- give you just that.
- 828
- 01:02:09,234 --> 01:02:13,182
- The exact kidney. The precise liver.
- 829
- 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,847
- Not this amateurish,
- half-baked division-
- 830
- 01:02:22,100 --> 01:02:25,309
- I don't think you
- understand the situation.
- 831
- 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,244
- Let me explain.
- 832
- 01:02:29,034 --> 01:02:32,982
- From next week we
- start work on the...
- 833
- 01:02:33,134 --> 01:02:37,082
- ...fence & check posts
- along the Indo-Pak border.
- 834
- 01:02:40,634 --> 01:02:42,113
- Should take around <i>5</i> months.
- 835
- 01:02:42,233 --> 01:02:50,243
- And will ask Hindus & Muslims of
- 2 border towns, Haldibari & Debiganj...
- 836
- 01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:54,341
- ...to cross the border because...
- 837
- 01:02:55,067 --> 01:02:57,172
- ...after the Partition it
- is now clear that...
- 838
- 01:02:57,934 --> 01:03:02,349
- Muslims in India & Hindus
- in Pakistan...
- 839
- 01:03:02,667 --> 01:03:05,671
- ...will be unsafe
- 840
- 01:03:05,934 --> 01:03:12,010
- There'll be a migration of
- men, baggage & cattle
- 841
- 01:03:12,234 --> 01:03:13,645
- And...
- 842
- 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,844
- ...there'll be Hindu-Muslim riots
- 843
- 01:03:18,734 --> 01:03:20,042
- So it's advisable-
- 844
- 01:03:20,134 --> 01:03:22,045
- Have you paid for her?
- 845
- 01:03:22,234 --> 01:03:23,042
- What?
- 846
- 01:03:23,167 --> 01:03:24,669
- Money!
- 847
- 01:03:26,900 --> 01:03:29,744
- Yes. The entire amount.
- 848
- 01:03:29,867 --> 01:03:33,144
- 'Without asking whether she's
- a Hindu or a Muslim Why?
- 849
- 01:03:35,100 --> 01:03:38,980
- No. But what does
- religion have to do-
- 850
- 01:03:39,100 --> 01:03:42,274
- And Mr.Half-Naked,
- what is your caste?
- 851
- 01:03:42,767 --> 01:03:46,305
- I'm a high caste Brahmin
- 852
- 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:52,050
- Do you know that the woman you
- fucked is a low caste untouchable?
- 853
- 01:03:52,167 --> 01:03:54,977
- Don't you fear being ostracised?
- 854
- 01:03:55,067 --> 01:03:56,068
- No... I mean-
- 855
- 01:03:56,167 --> 01:03:58,613
- Do you know that...
- 856
- 01:03:59,667 --> 01:04:05,083
- ...I didn't ask them
- about their caste either.
- 857
- 01:04:05,334 --> 01:04:11,808
- They chose a girl,
- I set the price.
- 858
- 01:04:11,967 --> 01:04:14,174
- So, what did you gather?
- 859
- 01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:15,979
- 'What is there to gather?
- 860
- 01:04:16,134 --> 01:04:19,809
- It's the same in all brothels.
- 861
- 01:04:22,667 --> 01:04:24,510
- My dear sir,
- 862
- 01:04:24,633 --> 01:04:26,772
- what you are calling a brothel...
- 863
- 01:04:27,833 --> 01:04:30,905
- ...and implying a whore house...
- 864
- 01:04:31,700 --> 01:04:34,112
- is my country.
- 865
- 01:04:35,300 --> 01:04:37,780
- My homeland.
- 866
- 01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:40,702
- We don't have
- Hindu-Muslims here
- 867
- 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,076
- No high or low castes
- 868
- 01:04:44,100 --> 01:04:46,706
- Here it's our bodies
- 869
- 01:04:46,867 --> 01:04:49,108
- so we have the last word.
- 870
- 01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,180
- And our rules stand
- 871
- 01:04:52,767 --> 01:04:56,579
- I don't know which India or
- Pakistan you speak of...
- 872
- 01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,043
- Even the Professor keeps
- telling me about...
- 873
- 01:05:00,267 --> 01:05:02,247
- Congress, Muslim League,
- 874
- 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,978
- Nehru, Jinnah, Karachi, Delhi,
- 875
- 01:05:05,100 --> 01:05:07,842
- Partition, this that.
- 876
- 01:05:08,034 --> 01:05:12,779
- But all that is nothing more
- then gibberish for me
- 877
- 01:05:13,234 --> 01:05:19,617
- Because who decides what in
- Delhi, is irrelevant to me.
- 878
- 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,838
- Because I know only one place.
- 879
- 01:05:24,634 --> 01:05:26,739
- This bathroom,
- 880
- 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,877
- this courtyard,
- 881
- 01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:30,841
- this house,
- 882
- 01:05:30,967 --> 01:05:34,881
- these lanes these
- gardens, this country.
- 883
- 01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:38,979
- Which is there for
- thousands of years
- 884
- 01:05:40,167 --> 01:05:43,808
- And if anyone tries
- to evict us from here,
- 885
- 01:05:44,467 --> 01:05:51,976
- the only 'Partition' to happen will be
- that of their limbs from their bodies.
- 886
- 01:05:52,134 --> 01:05:53,613
- How dare you, bitch!
- 887
- 01:05:57,467 --> 01:05:59,674
- Down! Down!
- 888
- 01:05:59,967 --> 01:06:01,105
- Down.
- 889
- 01:06:22,167 --> 01:06:23,908
- Salim!
- 890
- 01:06:27,034 --> 01:06:28,536
- Salim
- 891
- 01:06:29,633 --> 01:06:31,078
- They are guests.
- 892
- 01:06:32,967 --> 01:06:34,708
- Akhtar.
- 893
- 01:06:47,700 --> 01:06:52,445
- Whatever could be communicated
- civilly, has been done
- 894
- 01:07:04,734 --> 01:07:06,475
- Goodbye, Begum Jaan
- 895
- 01:07:06,567 --> 01:07:10,014
- You have one month.
- 896
- 01:07:11,700 --> 01:07:13,008
- One month!
- 897
- 01:08:09,867 --> 01:08:12,711
- Independence? I don't want it!
- 898
- 01:08:12,834 --> 01:08:14,814
- Just imagine their audacity!
- 899
- 01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:18,006
- They're asking Begum
- Jaan to vacate her house!
- 900
- 01:08:18,367 --> 01:08:20,313
- 'With an ultimatum
- of one month!
- 901
- 01:08:20,434 --> 01:08:21,344
- The sheer gall!
- 902
- 01:08:21,433 --> 01:08:23,413
- Calm down.
- 903
- 01:08:23,934 --> 01:08:26,312
- No one can do
- anything about it.
- 904
- 01:08:26,867 --> 01:08:28,437
- The order has come from high up.
- 905
- 01:08:28,534 --> 01:08:31,037
- Whatever! How dare they?
- 906
- 01:08:31,434 --> 01:08:34,005
- Giving me a deadline, huh?
- 907
- 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,006
- Don't you know
- people in the Party?
- 908
- 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,379
- I want those bastards to be
- transferred within a month!
- 909
- 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,944
- Do what it takes!
- 910
- 01:08:44,300 --> 01:08:48,646
- If you need girls <i>I'll</i> arrange
- If necessary, <i>I'll</i> go myself.
- 911
- 01:08:48,733 --> 01:08:51,577
- That's not the
- answer to everything!
- 912
- 01:08:53,767 --> 01:08:56,611
- It's no use getting
- angry with them
- 913
- 01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,006
- And one of them belongs
- to another party.
- 914
- 01:09:04,034 --> 01:09:05,775
- Anyway"-
- 915
- 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,971
- ...let me see if I can
- manage a stay order...
- 916
- 01:09:10,534 --> 01:09:12,571
- ...with provisional relocation-
- 917
- 01:09:12,667 --> 01:09:14,772
- You haven't eaten in a while.
- 918
- 01:09:14,934 --> 01:09:17,380
- And I don't think you
- will in some time.
- 919
- 01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:19,241
- So I was saying..
- 920
- 01:09:19,367 --> 01:09:22,576
- Why don't you
- eat a little now?
- 921
- 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,341
- Send a telegram to Karachi.
- 922
- 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,843
- The budget needs to increase.
- 923
- 01:09:40,967 --> 01:09:47,316
- Fencing such a large area as
- per the map will cost more.
- 924
- 01:09:47,434 --> 01:09:54,215
- And most importantly, the wood
- for the border check posts..
- 925
- 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,740
- Welcome, Mr. Sen.
- 926
- 01:09:58,834 --> 01:10:00,404
- Thank you.
- 927
- 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,308
- Sorry Mr.llias I'm a little early.
- 928
- 01:10:04,434 --> 01:10:06,573
- But not an issue, <i>I'll</i> wait.
- 929
- 01:10:06,767 --> 01:10:08,678
- Fine I'm nearly done.
- 930
- 01:10:08,834 --> 01:10:15,911
- Half the wood for the check posts
- will be provided by the Indian Government.
- 931
- 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,578
- Make a note of this and file it.
- - Yes, sir.
- 932
- 01:10:18,667 --> 01:10:21,341
- And maintain the accounts
- Please come along
- 933
- 01:12:29,567 --> 01:12:31,376
- I'll talk to him.
- 934
- 01:12:31,734 --> 01:12:34,078
- Of course we need to talk.
- 935
- 01:12:34,334 --> 01:12:36,143
- A government notice isn't enough.
- 936
- 01:12:36,267 --> 01:12:36,399
- We have to explain.
- 937
- 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,380
- We have to explain.
- 938
- 01:12:38,567 --> 01:12:40,376
- What's happening with you?
- 939
- 01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:42,241
- The same.
- 940
- 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,303
- Funds for construction
- will come from both sides.
- 941
- 01:12:45,434 --> 01:12:47,573
- I have informed Delhi.
- 942
- 01:12:47,667 --> 01:12:51,137
- For now checking
- lists allocating workers.
- 943
- 01:12:51,500 --> 01:12:54,208
- More workers are on their way.
- 944
- 01:12:54,334 --> 01:12:56,575
- I said things
- might get violent.
- 945
- 01:12:56,667 --> 01:12:59,739
- There'll be a huge exodus.
- And that whore house.
- 946
- 01:13:00,034 --> 01:13:04,312
- Things will definitely get violent.
- 947
- 01:13:06,201 --> 01:13:08,340
- Tell me something.
- 948
- 01:13:08,467 --> 01:13:12,210
- Why will people leave
- their ancestral homes?
- 949
- 01:13:12,700 --> 01:13:17,149
- The order is for a border.
- So why should they leave?
- 950
- 01:13:17,734 --> 01:13:19,441
- Whether it's...
- 951
- 01:13:19,634 --> 01:13:21,375
- ...the Cabinet Mission,
- 952
- 01:13:21,534 --> 01:13:23,571
- The 3rd June Plan,
- 953
- 01:13:23,667 --> 01:13:26,113
- or a Border Commission meeting.
- 954
- 01:13:26,567 --> 01:13:31,107
- Our leaders never imagined
- this level of migration
- 955
- 01:13:31,634 --> 01:13:38,643
- Do you know how many people in
- Punjab were displaced <i>3</i> months back?
- 956
- 01:13:39,267 --> 01:13:41,338
- 8 Million.
- 957
- 01:13:41,534 --> 01:13:43,536
- Official figures
- 958
- 01:13:43,701 --> 01:13:46,238
- 8 Million!
- 959
- 01:13:46,501 --> 01:13:50,005
- Don't forget it.
- 960
- 01:13:51,267 --> 01:13:57,013
- If you explain the reason for
- this to the townsfolk, it should suffice.
- 961
- 01:13:57,167 --> 01:13:59,647
- 'Will that work?
- 962
- 01:13:59,734 --> 01:14:01,304
- It most definitely will.
- 963
- 01:14:01,567 --> 01:14:09,952
- When tales of rioting Hindus reach
- the circumcised buggers of Haldibari-
- 964
- 01:14:20,201 --> 01:14:23,045
- Circumcised buggers
- 965
- 01:14:23,601 --> 01:14:25,638
- Islamic zealots.
- 966
- 01:14:26,267 --> 01:14:28,269
- Muslim fanatics.
- 967
- 01:14:29,434 --> 01:14:34,042
- Yet a plethora of
- Tagore-Nazrul concerts.
- 968
- 01:14:34,234 --> 01:14:36,646
- Bengalis!
- 969
- 01:14:39,934 --> 01:14:42,574
- Do you remember Uncle Ramen?
- 970
- 01:14:43,034 --> 01:14:45,913
- Mr.Ghosh's neighbour.
- 971
- 01:14:48,601 --> 01:14:53,141
- You fell for his daughter.
- Tutored her.
- 972
- 01:14:53,434 --> 01:14:55,914
- Kusum.
- 973
- 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,443
- He had come
- running to our house
- 974
- 01:15:03,367 --> 01:15:06,007
- 'With his daughter.
- 975
- 01:15:07,667 --> 01:15:11,171
- I was too afraid to
- open the door.
- 976
- 01:15:12,901 --> 01:15:16,144
- He was hacked to pieces
- 977
- 01:15:16,367 --> 01:15:22,215
- Kusum was raped by
- an entire neighbourhood
- 978
- 01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:25,602
- Didn't see it.
- 979
- 01:15:26,167 --> 01:15:28,204
- But heard it.
- 980
- 01:15:29,134 --> 01:15:31,444
- Sounded nothing like Nazrul's songs.
- 981
- 01:15:32,267 --> 01:15:34,577
- Was something else
- 982
- 01:15:35,900 --> 01:15:37,902
- Smelt it too.
- 983
- 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:41,044
- Smelt nothing like
- halim or biriyani.
- 984
- 01:15:41,167 --> 01:15:43,374
- Was something else
- 985
- 01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:53,344
- I'm not short of stories either.
- 986
- 01:15:53,967 --> 01:15:59,417
- But when they were stripping that
- night, never imagined your face
- 987
- 01:15:59,601 --> 01:16:00,875
- I still don't.
- 988
- 01:16:00,967 --> 01:16:04,141
- You should. You need to.
- 989
- 01:16:04,434 --> 01:16:07,005
- Imagine my face.
- 990
- 01:16:08,500 --> 01:16:12,038
- If you're short of
- stories, <i>I'll</i> lend you some.
- 991
- 01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:14,944
- But stay with hatred. Stay angry.
- 992
- 01:16:15,067 --> 01:16:18,310
- Else you can't pull it off.
- 993
- 01:16:19,034 --> 01:16:22,277
- OK. <i>I'll</i> request
- people to cross over.
- 994
- 01:16:22,467 --> 01:16:26,279
- If they don't, will incite them.
- 995
- 01:16:27,300 --> 01:16:29,405
- That's the last option.
- 996
- 01:16:29,467 --> 01:16:34,849
- Because dusty, fly-infested
- bodies of refugees..
- 997
- 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:43,342
- ...are far better then
- burnt & rotten corpses.
- 998
- 01:16:43,534 --> 01:16:47,311
- People must move.
- 999
- 01:22:38,034 --> 01:22:43,450
- Unbelievable, isn't it? They
- threatened me in my own house
- 1000
- 01:22:43,701 --> 01:22:48,775
- Threatening me is like
- threatening Your Highness.
- 1001
- 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,602
- Names?
- 1002
- 01:22:51,734 --> 01:22:55,773
- Some Sen & Ilias
- 1003
- 01:22:56,667 --> 01:23:01,844
- Also the police from
- Debiganj and Haldibari.
- 1004
- 01:23:03,734 --> 01:23:06,806
- They're just rats.
- 1005
- 01:23:09,834 --> 01:23:13,976
- To kill the cats, one
- must go to Delhi.
- 1006
- 01:23:15,634 --> 01:23:17,978
- <i>I'll</i> be going this month.
- 1007
- 01:23:18,034 --> 01:23:21,811
- Don't worry. No
- one will disturb you.
- 1008
- 01:23:21,934 --> 01:23:24,540
- Thank you.
- 1009
- 01:23:24,834 --> 01:23:29,647
- But don't kill them off in anger.
- 1010
- 01:23:29,767 --> 01:23:32,373
- An ouster from job is enough
- 1011
- 01:23:33,634 --> 01:23:40,574
- And you, Your Highness, are royally
- spoiling the girls with gifts.
- 1012
- 01:23:41,667 --> 01:23:44,978
- You shut shop for me for two days
- 1013
- 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,506
- Sol also need to do certain things.
- 1014
- 01:23:50,767 --> 01:23:52,838
- What are you saying?
- 1015
- 01:23:52,900 --> 01:23:55,380
- This is your house.
- 1016
- 01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:59,607
- The girls are also your slaves
- 1017
- 01:24:00,434 --> 01:24:03,847
- So Your Highness whom should I
- send today ?
- 1018
- 01:24:03,967 --> 01:24:06,777
- Should I tell Golap ?
- 1019
- 01:24:06,967 --> 01:24:09,811
- Or Rubina?
- 1020
- 01:24:10,701 --> 01:24:13,545
- Or would you like Lata?
- 1021
- 01:24:16,467 --> 01:24:20,005
- Heard there's a new girl.
- 1022
- 01:24:20,634 --> 01:24:23,911
- But couldn't see
- her on my way in.
- 1023
- 01:24:25,367 --> 01:24:27,472
- Are you hiding something?
- 1024
- 01:24:27,601 --> 01:24:29,444
- No, no.
- 1025
- 01:24:29,734 --> 01:24:34,740
- Actually... that is Shabnam.
- 1026
- 01:24:36,867 --> 01:24:42,442
- May be she was playing so you didn't...
- 1027
- 01:24:43,034 --> 01:24:46,572
- A great tragedy befell her, you know.
- 1028
- 01:24:48,467 --> 01:24:53,467
- That's why her training is incomplete...
- She is not ready...uninitiated.
- 1029
- 01:25:02,334 --> 01:25:05,315
- Begum! Begum
- 1030
- 01:25:05,867 --> 01:25:09,474
- No one dares to disturb any of you here
- 1031
- 01:25:10,067 --> 01:25:15,676
- Soldiers & Britishers don't stay here
- for free. I pay your taxes.
- 1032
- 01:25:16,001 --> 01:25:20,472
- I had only asked for
- one thing in return.
- 1033
- 01:25:22,834 --> 01:25:25,678
- Do you remember?
- 1034
- 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,540
- The Nawab has the first
- right to a new girl.
- 1035
- 01:25:34,967 --> 01:25:37,971
- Whether she's ripe or not.
- 1036
- 01:25:39,767 --> 01:25:42,611
- Get her ready.
- 1037
- 01:25:43,434 --> 01:25:46,244
- I need to leave early tomorrow.
- 1038
- 01:25:46,501 --> 01:25:48,640
- And Begum...
- 1039
- 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:55,817
- My gramophone is not working
- Sol couldn't get it
- 1040
- 01:25:58,967 --> 01:26:04,542
- You are our guardian, Your Highness
- I would still request you..
- 1041
- 01:26:07,267 --> 01:26:11,238
- - Please don't make me do this...
- - Don't waste time, Begum
- 1042
- 01:26:12,267 --> 01:26:14,873
- My trip to Delhi will be delayed.
- 1043
- 01:26:16,634 --> 01:26:18,944
- And you know very well...
- 1044
- 01:26:21,234 --> 01:26:24,443
- Can't get it up without music
- 1045
- 01:26:26,700 --> 01:26:28,202
- Go.
- 1046
- 01:27:05,367 --> 01:27:13,878
- No tender words of love
- 1047
- 01:27:14,434 --> 01:27:20,316
- Why do the eyes brim over?
- 1048
- 01:27:23,300 --> 01:27:31,742
- No tender words of love
- 1049
- 01:27:32,534 --> 01:27:38,416
- Why do the eyes brim over?
- 1050
- 01:27:41,467 --> 01:27:50,148
- Night hasn't dawned on me for long
- 1051
- 01:27:50,467 --> 01:27:57,646
- My eyelids get heavy
- 1052
- 01:28:01,467 --> 01:28:10,217
- Polished myself by embracing you
- 1053
- 01:28:10,734 --> 01:28:19,415
- Polished myself by embracing you
- 1054
- 01:28:19,767 --> 01:28:24,841
- And desire would shine forth
- 1055
- 01:28:37,567 --> 01:28:45,611
- Every breath communicates
- 1056
- 01:28:46,634 --> 01:28:51,634
- An unheard narrative
- 1057
- 01:28:54,267 --> 01:28:54,335
- Polished myself by embracing you
- 1058
- 01:28:57,100 --> 01:29:02,675
- Polished myself by embracing you
- 1059
- 01:29:03,601 --> 01:29:09,074
- The desire would shine forth
- 1060
- 01:29:09,367 --> 01:29:17,411
- Every breath communicates
- 1061
- 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:26,176
- An unheard narrative
- 1062
- 01:29:27,701 --> 01:29:30,614
- Any new s?
- 1063
- 01:29:30,767 --> 01:29:32,713
- Bad news
- 1064
- 01:29:33,067 --> 01:29:33,399
- We need to talk.
- 1065
- 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:34,470
- We need to talk.
- 1066
- 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:38,707
- Go ahead.
- 1067
- 01:29:39,167 --> 01:29:41,579
- No... Not here
- 1068
- 01:29:42,134 --> 01:29:44,478
- It's confidential.
- 1069
- 01:29:45,067 --> 01:29:47,638
- You are too much
- 1070
- 01:29:48,067 --> 01:29:52,015
- I have something
- to say as well.
- 1071
- 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,146
- Come, play'-
- 1072
- 01:29:55,767 --> 01:29:58,611
- Let me start.
- 1073
- 01:30:00,734 --> 01:30:02,611
- 'What's wrong?
- 1074
- 01:30:02,667 --> 01:30:05,580
- I spoke to the Party.
- 1075
- 01:30:05,634 --> 01:30:08,046
- Nothing can be done.
- 1076
- 01:30:08,134 --> 01:30:10,740
- No influence will work.
- - What?
- 1077
- 01:30:13,034 --> 01:30:15,571
- If this reaches the government,
- 1078
- 01:30:16,034 --> 01:30:18,674
- everything will be in a mess
- 1079
- 01:30:19,134 --> 01:30:21,171
- Before that...
- 1080
- 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,107
- ...you should vacate this house.
- 1081
- 01:30:26,167 --> 01:30:28,238
- They have no sympathy.
- 1082
- 01:30:28,301 --> 01:30:32,545
- They flash a government notice-
- 'Which government?
- 1083
- 01:30:33,001 --> 01:30:34,605
- I govern myself.
- 1084
- 01:30:35,267 --> 01:30:40,080
- Don't you get it?
- Your life is at risk.
- 1085
- 01:30:43,201 --> 01:30:48,048
- This is an opportunity...
- 1086
- 01:30:48,101 --> 01:30:51,480
- ...to start afresh.
- 1087
- 01:30:54,167 --> 01:30:57,205
- Leave it all behind.
- 1088
- 01:30:57,267 --> 01:31:01,647
- This house, your business..
- 1089
- 01:31:01,700 --> 01:31:06,672
- We could leave all this-
- We?
- 1090
- 01:31:09,267 --> 01:31:12,077
- Err... Actually...
- 1091
- 01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,043
- Begum Jaan...
- 1092
- 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,004
- From the very beginning, I...
- 1093
- 01:32:10,901 --> 01:32:13,973
- Standing with doesn't
- imply sleeping with.
- 1094
- 01:32:14,067 --> 01:32:17,571
- I've always-
- Helped a lot.
- 1095
- 01:32:17,634 --> 01:32:19,614
- Thank you for that.
- 1096
- 01:32:19,901 --> 01:32:23,974
- But had I known your ulterior
- motives would've refused it.
- 1097
- 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:27,841
- Begum Jaan is beyond your reach.
- 1098
- 01:32:28,334 --> 01:32:29,836
- I'm truly...
- 1099
- 01:32:29,901 --> 01:32:35,544
- You know someone is in
- love with you! Then why?
- 1100
- 01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,938
- I wanted to tell you-
- Hush!
- 1101
- 01:32:40,101 --> 01:32:43,275
- You were there with
- us in good times
- 1102
- 01:32:43,334 --> 01:32:46,440
- Don't want to be the reason
- for your bad times
- 1103
- 01:32:46,501 --> 01:32:49,277
- Don't ever come back.
- 1104
- 01:32:50,867 --> 01:32:52,244
- Sahib?
- - Yes.
- 1105
- 01:32:52,334 --> 01:32:54,871
- Mr.llias is here
- 1106
- 01:32:55,534 --> 01:32:57,480
- Why so late at night?
- 1107
- 01:32:57,567 --> 01:33:01,481
- He has brought an
- injured man along
- 1108
- 01:33:01,934 --> 01:33:04,278
- It's confidential.
- 1109
- 01:33:04,967 --> 01:33:07,811
- You're too much.
- 1110
- 01:33:07,934 --> 01:33:12,144
- I have something
- to say as well.
- 1111
- 01:33:12,234 --> 01:33:15,078
- Come, play'-
- 1112
- 01:33:15,934 --> 01:33:20,144
- Let me start.
- 1113
- 01:33:20,867 --> 01:33:22,813
- 'What's wrong?
- 1114
- 01:33:22,867 --> 01:33:25,939
- I spoke to the Party.
- 1115
- 01:33:26,067 --> 01:33:28,047
- Nothing can be done.
- 1116
- 01:33:28,101 --> 01:33:32,481
- No influence will work.
- - What?
- 1117
- 01:33:33,001 --> 01:33:35,880
- If this reaches the government,
- 1118
- 01:33:35,967 --> 01:33:38,948
- everything will be in a mess
- 1119
- 01:33:39,100 --> 01:33:41,774
- Before that...
- 1120
- 01:33:41,934 --> 01:33:45,381
- ...you should vacate this house.
- 1121
- 01:33:46,501 --> 01:33:49,038
- They have no sympathy.
- 1122
- 01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:52,946
- They flash a government notice-
- So what?
- 1123
- 01:33:53,034 --> 01:33:59,280
- Won't you save us?
- 1124
- 01:34:01,001 --> 01:34:05,472
- I can't do anything!
- 1125
- 01:34:06,034 --> 01:34:10,744
- I'm alone against many.
- 1126
- 01:34:11,467 --> 01:34:17,941
- What if we escape?
- - We?
- 1127
- 01:34:20,234 --> 01:34:22,475
- Begum?
- 1128
- 01:34:23,967 --> 01:34:29,246
- That's what I
- wanted to tell you.
- 1129
- 01:35:01,834 --> 01:35:07,807
- I can't.
- 1130
- 01:35:09,734 --> 01:35:14,877
- I can't do this to Golap
- 1131
- 01:35:15,001 --> 01:35:18,039
- Golap? Unbelievable!
- 1132
- 01:35:18,267 --> 01:35:24,149
- Don't you know
- I love you? Then why?
- 1133
- 01:35:24,700 --> 01:35:28,876
- I never-
- Hush!
- 1134
- 01:35:29,101 --> 01:35:32,378
- You were there with
- us in good times
- 1135
- 01:35:32,867 --> 01:35:36,872
- Don't want to be the reason
- for your bad times
- 1136
- 01:35:37,067 --> 01:35:41,709
- Don't ever come back.
- 1137
- 01:35:43,801 --> 01:35:49,251
- Now do you understand
- what happened that day?
- 1138
- 01:35:50,767 --> 01:35:55,216
- I always wanted
- you all to be happy.
- 1139
- 01:35:57,167 --> 01:35:59,738
- Especially you.
- 1140
- 01:36:02,167 --> 01:36:06,081
- I fought for you all...
- 1141
- 01:36:06,700 --> 01:36:10,341
- ...against the villagers
- 1142
- 01:36:10,967 --> 01:36:14,915
- Against my own Party.
- 1143
- 01:36:15,667 --> 01:36:21,117
- Maybe that's why... I've been
- exiled from the house
- 1144
- 01:36:26,967 --> 01:36:32,940
- I have to sneak
- in like a thief...
- 1145
- 01:36:33,234 --> 01:36:38,274
- ...to meet you.
- 1146
- 01:37:16,967 --> 01:37:21,848
- I wasn't allowed in
- with a government notice
- 1147
- 01:37:21,967 --> 01:37:27,679
- I was thrashed when I
- went with 4 constables.
- 1148
- 01:37:27,767 --> 01:37:37,245
- The Pathan said, he'd beam
- both of you black & blue.
- 1149
- 01:37:37,667 --> 01:37:45,813
- And then bury you
- in their courtyard
- 1150
- 01:37:51,734 --> 01:37:56,740
- Construction will stop if they
- don't vacate in 10 days
- 1151
- 01:37:56,867 --> 01:38:00,679
- I know. My engineers told me.
- 1152
- 01:38:01,534 --> 01:38:06,608
- The problem is that the
- government... You may leave.
- 1153
- 01:38:09,934 --> 01:38:13,108
- The govt. servants are
- too scared to go.
- 1154
- 01:38:13,267 --> 01:38:17,181
- And the Nawab of
- Rangpur protects them
- 1155
- 01:38:17,534 --> 01:38:26,511
- The Nawab's army
- is at her disposal.
- 1156
- 01:38:26,567 --> 01:38:34,486
- It would be a shame to
- seek the army's help for this.
- 1157
- 01:38:35,134 --> 01:38:37,512
- Besides, that's not possible.
- 1158
- 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:42,049
- Too many riots and
- refugees to handle
- 1159
- 01:38:55,134 --> 01:38:57,171
- We need to...
- 1160
- 01:38:57,501 --> 01:39:02,109
- go to Mekhliganj tomorrow.
- 1161
- 01:39:02,601 --> 01:39:04,547
- Why?
- 1162
- 01:39:05,500 --> 01:39:08,811
- For the solution
- to this problem.
- 1163
- 01:39:09,734 --> 01:39:14,683
- Not everything can
- be done legally.
- 1164
- 01:39:14,834 --> 01:39:21,547
- Sometimes you need
- to go beyond the law.
- 1165
- 01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,943
- Got it, Mr.llias?
- 1166
- 01:39:29,167 --> 01:39:34,913
- For you everything hangs
- between your legs! Bastard!
- 1167
- 01:39:35,067 --> 01:39:37,172
- You're assaulting a policeman.
- 1168
- 01:39:37,434 --> 01:39:41,143
- I came here to help.
- 1169
- 01:39:41,434 --> 01:39:45,507
- You have to vacate In case
- your girls need any shelter-
- 1170
- 01:39:45,567 --> 01:39:48,946
- And who decides that?
- Does your mother work here?
- 1171
- 01:39:49,034 --> 01:39:51,071
- You bloody whore!
- 1172
- 01:39:55,534 --> 01:39:58,572
- You aren't very smart, I see
- 1173
- 01:39:58,634 --> 01:40:03,105
- You can't abuse a whore
- by calling her one
- 1174
- 01:40:03,434 --> 01:40:06,540
- Call her a policeman,
- and that's an abuse
- 1175
- 01:40:06,601 --> 01:40:08,581
- Salim
- 1176
- 01:40:11,667 --> 01:40:12,771
- Hey!
- 1177
- 01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:18,406
- The King protects us
- We don't need rats
- 1178
- 01:40:53,767 --> 01:40:55,974
- What can I do for you?
- 1179
- 01:40:56,500 --> 01:40:58,377
- First the introductions.
- 1180
- 01:40:58,467 --> 01:40:59,741
- This is...
- 1181
- 01:41:00,901 --> 01:41:04,849
- ...Md.llias, from the
- Pakistani government.
- 1182
- 01:41:05,034 --> 01:41:07,480
- This is Kabir.
- 1183
- 01:41:07,534 --> 01:41:10,481
- How do I describe him?
- 1184
- 01:41:10,734 --> 01:41:12,736
- He is a..
- 1185
- 01:41:12,801 --> 01:41:15,714
- I run a gang of goons
- 1186
- 01:41:16,367 --> 01:41:17,903
- Name's Kabir.
- 1187
- 01:41:17,967 --> 01:41:20,038
- Can be both a Hindu
- or a Muslim name.
- 1188
- 01:41:20,334 --> 01:41:24,043
- I wear a Brahmin string
- & am circumcised.
- 1189
- 01:41:24,534 --> 01:41:27,014
- Have both Hindu scriptures
- & Muslim skull caps
- 1190
- 01:41:27,334 --> 01:41:31,009
- Never know which side I
- may have to take in the riot.
- 1191
- 01:41:31,334 --> 01:41:33,905
- Am ready with both.
- 1192
- 01:41:35,367 --> 01:41:37,313
- I'm secular.
- 1193
- 01:41:37,434 --> 01:41:40,506
- Pay & use
- 1194
- 01:41:43,667 --> 01:41:45,669
- What do you want?
- 1195
- 01:41:46,034 --> 01:41:48,014
- Don't want a riot.
- 1196
- 01:41:48,834 --> 01:41:51,906
- There are enough
- of those anyway.
- 1197
- 01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,779
- Need to vacate a house
- 1198
- 01:41:55,967 --> 01:41:59,642
- Between Haldibari & Debiganj.
- 1199
- 01:41:59,900 --> 01:42:04,280
- The whorehouse? I hope
- your men are done trying.
- 1200
- 01:42:04,401 --> 01:42:06,438
- Once my boys get in-
- 1201
- 01:42:06,534 --> 01:42:09,708
- Don't worry about that.
- 1202
- 01:42:09,967 --> 01:42:11,969
- Just do your job.
- 1203
- 01:42:12,334 --> 01:42:15,372
- And the job description?
- 1204
- 01:42:15,567 --> 01:42:18,878
- Should we scare
- them? Break bones?
- 1205
- 01:42:19,034 --> 01:42:21,412
- Rape them?
- 1206
- 01:42:21,501 --> 01:42:24,948
- Or should we shoot and stab?
- 1207
- 01:42:25,401 --> 01:42:29,349
- Could also sever
- breasts disembowel...
- 1208
- 01:42:29,734 --> 01:42:31,645
- Impale them with rods-
- 1209
- 01:42:31,867 --> 01:42:34,473
- The act determines
- the fee, right?
- 1210
- 01:42:34,567 --> 01:42:36,911
- What?
- - No, no.
- 1211
- 01:42:37,301 --> 01:42:41,579
- Money's not an issue
- But don't be brutal.
- 1212
- 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:45,509
- Few policemen will
- accompany you
- 1213
- 01:42:45,801 --> 01:42:47,747
- Scare them first.
- 1214
- 01:42:47,867 --> 01:42:51,337
- If that doesn't work,
- shoot them.
- 1215
- 01:43:01,767 --> 01:43:04,304
- We need groceries.
- 1216
- 01:43:04,467 --> 01:43:07,676
- We're running
- short on supplies
- 1217
- 01:43:07,867 --> 01:43:10,473
- It's Lata and Sujan's turn.
- 1218
- 01:43:11,267 --> 01:43:13,247
- Can't carry so much alone
- 1219
- 01:43:13,334 --> 01:43:15,314
- I need some help.
- 1220
- 01:43:15,367 --> 01:43:19,907
- I'm a vegetarian.
- I lack the strength.
- 1221
- 01:43:20,267 --> 01:43:25,649
- Elephants are vegetarian too.
- But they're beasts of burden
- 1222
- 01:43:25,767 --> 01:43:28,373
- You forgot the
- important ones.
- 1223
- 01:43:28,467 --> 01:43:31,710
- Cows donkeys and oxen
- 1224
- 01:43:31,867 --> 01:43:34,609
- But for her, elephant is apt.
- 1225
- 01:43:34,734 --> 01:43:40,650
- Coming from someone who used
- to clean toilets, that's rich!
- 1226
- 01:43:40,734 --> 01:43:44,375
- Can we not discuss
- toilets while eating?
- 1227
- 01:43:44,801 --> 01:43:46,337
- Banno!
- - Yes!
- 1228
- 01:43:46,401 --> 01:43:49,405
- Get the meat that was
- sent from the village.
- 1229
- 01:43:49,467 --> 01:43:51,606
- Here it is.
- 1230
- 01:43:51,934 --> 01:43:53,675
- I want some gravy.
- 1231
- 01:43:53,834 --> 01:43:55,575
- Uncle Salim.
- 1232
- 01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,744
- The situation demands..
- 1233
- 01:43:59,467 --> 01:44:02,311
- ...that you teach
- us how to use guns.
- 1234
- 01:44:02,434 --> 01:44:06,177
- The guns your friends
- had given you...
- 1235
- 01:44:06,300 --> 01:44:09,338
- ...are rotting in the corner.
- 1236
- 01:44:09,834 --> 01:44:12,337
- Begum Jaan, please tell him.
- 1237
- 01:44:12,534 --> 01:44:15,140
- The Nawab protects us.
- 1238
- 01:44:15,267 --> 01:44:18,373
- Why should you
- take up arms?
- 1239
- 01:44:18,901 --> 01:44:20,166
- Water?
- 1240
- 01:44:20,167 --> 01:44:22,340
- You have mail!
- - Jnui, go get it.
- 1241
- 01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:24,411
- OK
- - Give me water.
- 1242
- 01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:30,278
- Why isn't the water
- coming this way?
- 1243
- 01:44:32,700 --> 01:44:35,806
- Go to Hell!
- - You go to Hell!
- 1244
- 01:44:41,267 --> 01:44:44,111
- Have some more.
- 1245
- 01:44:46,634 --> 01:44:48,272
- When'll you go shopping?
- 1246
- 01:44:48,334 --> 01:44:51,440
- Begum? What happened?
- 1247
- 01:44:58,767 --> 01:45:00,747
- Golap, read it.
- 1248
- 01:45:01,134 --> 01:45:02,133
- What is it?
- 1249
- 01:45:02,134 --> 01:45:03,670
- Golap, what's wrong?
- 1250
- 01:45:04,134 --> 01:45:06,341
- 'What's wrong?
- 1251
- 01:45:06,567 --> 01:45:09,571
- Bloody bastards!
- 1252
- 01:45:09,667 --> 01:45:11,510
- What happened?
- 1253
- 01:45:19,334 --> 01:45:21,644
- Good morning, Begum Jaan.
- 1254
- 01:45:21,767 --> 01:45:25,180
- Wasn't the meat good?
- 1255
- 01:45:25,767 --> 01:45:29,681
- I knew Shekhu, your dog,
- would taste good
- 1256
- 01:45:30,101 --> 01:45:32,172
- Salt and spice fine?
- 1257
- 01:45:32,301 --> 01:45:38,115
- I prepared it myself.
- 1258
- 01:45:38,500 --> 01:45:41,504
- I left Bhalu, your other dog, uncooked.
- 1259
- 01:45:41,634 --> 01:45:44,547
- You can cook and eat
- him at your leisure
- 1260
- 01:45:44,701 --> 01:45:54,486
- P.S- You will have to vacate the house.
- Two countries are about to be born.
- 1261
- 01:45:54,734 --> 01:45:56,771
- Regards Kabir.
- 1262
- 01:46:07,067 --> 01:46:09,604
- Uncle Salim!
- 1263
- 01:46:10,500 --> 01:46:14,038
- Have you gone mad?
- 1264
- 01:46:23,567 --> 01:46:30,041
- I doubt Kabir will stop at
- merely scaring them.
- 1265
- 01:46:30,467 --> 01:46:33,505
- So what?
- 1266
- 01:46:34,767 --> 01:46:37,748
- Is your heart wrenching?
- 1267
- 01:46:38,034 --> 01:46:40,241
- Don't talk like a fool!
- 1268
- 01:46:40,300 --> 01:46:46,114
- I have convinced more people
- to move then you have
- 1269
- 01:46:46,534 --> 01:46:50,505
- Partition and exodus are required.
- 1270
- 01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:55,310
- 'With you all around,
- riots are unavoidable!
- 1271
- 01:47:02,567 --> 01:47:05,605
- Haven't slept for years.
- 1272
- 01:47:08,734 --> 01:47:12,307
- I'd wake up in the
- middle of the night.
- 1273
- 01:47:12,634 --> 01:47:15,342
- When I'd hear the sound.
- 1274
- 01:47:15,401 --> 01:47:18,575
- Or remember their faces.
- 1275
- 01:47:25,634 --> 01:47:32,677
- We could pressurize the Nawab
- and take the help of the army-
- 1276
- 01:47:32,967 --> 01:47:35,971
- Not enough time.
- 1277
- 01:47:36,068 --> 01:47:40,608
- Riots are on the rise.
- 1278
- 01:47:42,334 --> 01:47:44,575
- Think of it this way...
- 1279
- 01:47:44,967 --> 01:47:50,974
- ...we're killing a few,
- to save many.
- 1280
- 01:47:52,634 --> 01:47:56,207
- Think of it as
- Bakr-Id (Festival of sacrifice).
- 1281
- 01:47:57,301 --> 01:48:00,339
- Bloody cowards!
- My helpless babies...
- 1282
- 01:48:01,167 --> 01:48:04,546
- Promise me you'll skin them!
- 1283
- 01:48:04,667 --> 01:48:10,242
- And whip them with a whip
- made out of that skin
- 1284
- 01:48:10,934 --> 01:48:17,909
- What's wrong with your throat?
- - Shekhu's fur is in there.
- 1285
- 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,506
- You're imagining it.
- 1286
- 01:48:21,634 --> 01:48:24,205
- I'm not.
- 1287
- 01:48:24,267 --> 01:48:27,373
- It's stuck.
- 1288
- 01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:42,106
- You will have to leave.
- 1289
- 01:48:47,201 --> 01:48:51,149
- What?
- - Times are changing.
- 1290
- 01:48:55,634 --> 01:48:58,410
- I had gone to Delhi.
- 1291
- 01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:03,376
- Everything will be over.
- 1292
- 01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:11,473
- I don't understand what-
- 1293
- 01:49:11,601 --> 01:49:14,844
- King of Junagarh had
- come to Delhi too.
- 1294
- 01:49:14,967 --> 01:49:17,345
- Nizam of Hyderabad
- had sent a letter.
- 1295
- 01:49:17,434 --> 01:49:24,409
- Kashmir and Hyderabad have been
- asked to choose their country.
- 1296
- 01:49:25,034 --> 01:49:29,983
- So what? Kings
- will remain kings.
- 1297
- 01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:38,272
- They won't.
- 1298
- 01:49:38,434 --> 01:49:40,277
- The Subject will be the King.
- 1299
- 01:49:40,834 --> 01:49:45,943
- Muslim farmers left a cow's
- cadaver at the Bhawal palace
- 1300
- 01:49:47,934 --> 01:49:50,813
- Delhi and Karachi
- have the same plan.
- 1301
- 01:49:50,934 --> 01:49:55,314
- All the land shall be taken over
- by the government very soon.
- 1302
- 01:49:55,401 --> 01:49:58,905
- What about you all?
- 1303
- 01:50:03,567 --> 01:50:06,070
- We'll be reduced
- to chess pieces
- 1304
- 01:50:06,134 --> 01:50:09,206
- The treasury is not
- in good shape
- 1305
- 01:50:10,267 --> 01:50:14,215
- I'm selling everything I can
- 1306
- 01:50:14,434 --> 01:50:19,008
- And then you have court
- cases thanks to relatives.
- 1307
- 01:50:23,067 --> 01:50:26,241
- Listen to the government.
- 1308
- 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:29,781
- Vacate this house
- 1309
- 01:50:33,167 --> 01:50:37,138
- Am powerless now. Can'!
- protect you any more.
- 1310
- 01:50:42,501 --> 01:50:45,243
- Salim!
- 1311
- 01:50:46,167 --> 01:50:48,374
- Salim!
- 1312
- 01:50:54,901 --> 01:50:59,850
- The Nawab is tired.
- Escort him to his room
- 1313
- 01:51:00,067 --> 01:51:03,207
- He needs rest.
- - Begum!
- 1314
- 01:51:05,267 --> 01:51:08,942
- He'll be leaving
- early tomorrow.
- 1315
- 01:51:09,167 --> 01:51:14,139
- Make the arrangements.
- - You'll die a gruesome death!
- 1316
- 01:51:15,500 --> 01:51:21,314
- At least I won't
- die a beggar.
- 1317
- 01:51:21,967 --> 01:51:25,244
- <i>I'll</i> die like a queen.
- - Make sure you die
- 1318
- 01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:31,146
- For they will rape you
- first and then kill you
- 1319
- 01:51:31,300 --> 01:51:36,300
- Come what may. I won't
- need a man to protect us.
- 1320
- 01:51:46,467 --> 01:51:49,243
- Your enemy stands
- in front of you.
- 1321
- 01:51:49,367 --> 01:51:52,109
- Hold it up!
- 1322
- 01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:56,677
- One eye closed!
- 1323
- 01:51:56,734 --> 01:51:59,806
- Aim with your right eye!
- 1324
- 01:52:06,234 --> 01:52:08,373
- What a recoil!
- 1325
- 01:52:15,834 --> 01:52:19,372
- I've gone deaf!
- - You're fine
- 1326
- 01:52:38,334 --> 01:52:39,904
- Begum Jaan!
- 1327
- 01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,002
- Golap, you serpent!
- 1328
- 01:52:46,267 --> 01:52:49,043
- Ungrateful bitch!
- 1329
- 01:52:49,267 --> 01:52:51,042
- Get lost!
- 1330
- 01:53:04,901 --> 01:53:09,901
- Begum Jaan will kill us if she
- finds out we got Bnuchki along.
- 1331
- 01:53:09,967 --> 01:53:13,847
- Why? It was Juthika's idea.
- 1332
- 01:53:14,001 --> 01:53:17,073
- She's stuck at
- home all day.
- 1333
- 01:53:17,734 --> 01:53:22,012
- She really misses
- Shekhu & Bhalu
- 1334
- 01:54:10,567 --> 01:54:13,138
- Bnuchki!
- - Hurry, Bnuchki!
- 1335
- 01:54:17,568 --> 01:54:18,842
- This way!
- 1336
- 01:54:19,667 --> 01:54:21,647
- That way!
- 1337
- 01:54:53,167 --> 01:54:59,948
- Strange is the bird
- 1338
- 01:55:01,200 --> 01:55:06,878
- Which flies in and out of the cage
- 1339
- 01:55:26,601 --> 01:55:32,916
- If I can catch it
- 1340
- 01:55:41,934 --> 01:55:47,043
- 'Will chain it with my mind
- 1341
- 01:55:50,767 --> 01:55:55,147
- How it flies, in and out
- 1342
- 01:56:25,434 --> 01:56:31,112
- Strange is the bird
- 1343
- 01:56:49,834 --> 01:56:53,748
- 'Will they kill us?
- - Shut up!
- 1344
- 01:56:54,734 --> 01:56:56,941
- Bastards seem to
- have gone that way.
- 1345
- 01:56:57,101 --> 01:57:02,779
- Let's escape through
- the secret exit.
- 1346
- 01:57:03,001 --> 01:57:06,073
- No. They're coming this way.
- 1347
- 01:57:06,567 --> 01:57:08,478
- You all slip out.
- 1348
- 01:57:08,734 --> 01:57:10,680
- Leaving you here alone?
- I'd rather die.
- 1349
- 01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,371
- Don'! argue.
- For my sake, flee!
- 1350
- 01:57:13,500 --> 01:57:16,538
- Didn't want to come-
- Shut up!
- 1351
- 01:57:16,634 --> 01:57:19,911
- Now what will happen?
- 'Will they kill us all?
- 1352
- 01:58:04,434 --> 01:58:07,677
- See! I told you so! Didn't
- listen to me as I'm a kid!
- 1353
- 01:58:08,067 --> 01:58:09,910
- Now they'll kill us!
- 1354
- 01:58:10,334 --> 01:58:13,645
- Please don't kill me!
- Please! Please!
- 1355
- 01:58:15,467 --> 01:58:18,038
- I'm a little girl!
- Please don't kill me!
- 1356
- 01:58:18,667 --> 01:58:21,841
- For Lord Krishna's sake!
- Beg of you, don't kill me!
- 1357
- 01:58:21,901 --> 01:58:24,780
- Believe me! I'm innocent!
- 1358
- 01:58:24,834 --> 01:58:27,440
- I beg of you...
- 1359
- 01:58:36,901 --> 01:58:40,007
- <i>I'll</i> really miss you, Sujan.
- 1360
- 01:58:43,734 --> 01:58:46,908
- But then you
- won't be there.
- 1361
- 01:58:48,834 --> 01:58:51,940
- By then you'll
- be far away.
- 1362
- 01:59:57,867 --> 02:00:01,440
- Remember that foreigner?
- 1363
- 02:00:01,734 --> 02:00:04,214
- Margaret White.
- 1364
- 02:00:04,900 --> 02:00:09,781
- The one who had come to
- take photographs for a magazine?
- 1365
- 02:00:09,934 --> 02:00:15,612
- I think <i>I'll</i> ask
- her to help.
- 1366
- 02:00:16,401 --> 02:00:22,909
- I want our story in
- newspapers across the country.
- 1367
- 02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:26,713
- 'Will all this happen?
- 1368
- 02:00:27,367 --> 02:00:31,747
- Not sure. I know only two things-
- 1369
- 02:00:32,300 --> 02:00:38,774
- I won't leave this house &won't
- go down without a fight!
- 1370
- 02:00:41,934 --> 02:00:45,541
- Shashi was saying that...
- 1371
- 02:00:45,667 --> 02:00:48,773
- ...the pimp's body was found.
- 1372
- 02:00:50,834 --> 02:00:53,371
- In four pieces
- 1373
- 02:00:56,468 --> 02:01:01,611
- Delhi has asked for
- a progress report.
- 1374
- 02:01:03,434 --> 02:01:10,750
- If news of our
- illegal procedures,
- 1375
- 02:01:11,367 --> 02:01:15,372
- reach Delhi or Karachi...
- 1376
- 02:01:15,601 --> 02:01:17,706
- ...there'll be problems.
- 1377
- 02:01:17,834 --> 02:01:20,144
- The entire world
- is watching us
- 1378
- 02:01:20,234 --> 02:01:24,512
- The problem will be
- solved before it's publicized.
- 1379
- 02:01:26,167 --> 02:01:29,580
- And believe me, it'll
- make no difference.
- 1380
- 02:01:29,701 --> 02:01:34,673
- 100 years later when kids will
- study about the Partition...
- 1381
- 02:01:34,767 --> 02:01:39,113
- ...they won't read about
- us or Begum Jaan.
- 1382
- 02:01:39,168 --> 02:01:40,613
- I know.
- 1383
- 02:01:40,767 --> 02:01:44,237
- History is about
- kings, not pawns
- 1384
- 02:01:45,467 --> 02:01:48,573
- At most knights & rooks
- 1385
- 02:01:48,700 --> 02:01:53,410
- But that's 100 years later.
- What about now?
- 1386
- 02:01:54,734 --> 02:02:00,116
- At this moment, I am
- the King &I am History!
- 1387
- 02:02:00,734 --> 02:02:04,705
- And I have morals!
- - For now.
- 1388
- 02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:07,542
- But it won't last.
- 1389
- 02:02:08,101 --> 02:02:09,637
- I spoke to Kabir-
- I can't-
- 1390
- 02:02:09,701 --> 02:02:13,342
- You don't need
- to do anything
- 1391
- 02:02:13,467 --> 02:02:18,439
- In such violent times,
- tragedies are common.
- 1392
- 02:02:19,668 --> 02:02:21,341
- Bring the meat!
- 1393
- 02:02:23,067 --> 02:02:28,642
- Set up the brothel...
- & you all came one by one
- 1394
- 02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:33,613
- Made a living.
- Business thrived.
- 1395
- 02:02:35,100 --> 02:02:38,274
- Lama, remember
- how you...
- 1396
- 02:02:38,367 --> 02:02:42,042
- ...escaped from the
- Hindu priests?
- 1397
- 02:02:42,167 --> 02:02:45,740
- How you chased
- away the Brahmins!
- 1398
- 02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:50,306
- Banno, you cried while
- menstruating for the first time.
- 1399
- 02:02:50,367 --> 02:02:52,066
- You're embarrassing me...
- 1400
- 02:02:52,067 --> 02:02:56,243
- Koli & Duli came when
- Muslims set their village ablaze.
- 1401
- 02:02:56,301 --> 02:02:59,407
- It was a stormy night!
- 1402
- 02:03:00,267 --> 02:03:03,373
- Both had high fever.
- 1403
- 02:03:03,467 --> 02:03:06,209
- Both were in delirium
- 1404
- 02:03:06,334 --> 02:03:09,713
- Well, they're still delirious
- 1405
- 02:03:10,034 --> 02:03:14,505
- Shut up bitch!
- Want me to start?
- 1406
- 02:03:14,667 --> 02:03:19,667
- Poached Lata's customer
- for a saree, & I'm delirious?
- 1407
- 02:03:20,467 --> 02:03:23,133
- Shut up! Lata,
- say something.
- 1408
- 02:03:23,134 --> 02:03:26,479
- The land I was born in,
- 1409
- 02:03:27,167 --> 02:03:30,637
- which I left
- after marriage,
- 1410
- 02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:35,142
- where I returned
- as a courtesan,
- 1411
- 02:03:37,100 --> 02:03:42,573
- will now be divided
- into two countries
- 1412
- 02:03:44,634 --> 02:03:49,310
- The tree which
- housed my marbles
- 1413
- 02:03:50,600 --> 02:03:57,484
- the earth which houses
- my torn doll...
- 1414
- 02:04:08,967 --> 02:04:17,512
- And this shelter, where
- we live with heads held high...
- 1415
- 02:04:19,367 --> 02:04:24,367
- ...must be vacated to ensure
- independence for two countries.
- 1416
- 02:04:34,234 --> 02:04:37,933
- You bastards!
- Fucking swine!
- 1417
- 02:04:37,934 --> 02:04:40,915
- I will not relent!
- 1418
- 02:04:41,667 --> 02:04:44,580
- I don'! need any help!
- 1419
- 02:04:44,667 --> 02:04:50,583
- I can protect my home &
- my memories myself!
- 1420
- 02:04:50,667 --> 02:04:51,543
- Alone!
- 1421
- 02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:54,206
- But you all should leave.
- 1422
- 02:04:54,334 --> 02:04:56,610
- Where will we go?
- 1423
- 02:04:57,034 --> 02:04:58,308
- Huh?
- 1424
- 02:04:58,534 --> 02:04:59,911
- And why?
- 1425
- 02:04:59,967 --> 02:05:03,073
- Go anywhere!
- Just leave!
- 1426
- 02:05:03,200 --> 02:05:07,580
- Those after us
- are beasts!
- 1427
- 02:05:08,934 --> 02:05:13,508
- We're prostitutes
- opposing the government.
- 1428
- 02:05:14,334 --> 02:05:19,306
- It's not just our lives but
- our self-respect that-
- 1429
- 02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,271
- Self-respect?
- 1430
- 02:05:26,401 --> 02:05:30,042
- Whores with self-respect?
- 1431
- 02:05:36,900 --> 02:05:39,107
- You're a woman, Begum Jaan.
- 1432
- 02:05:39,500 --> 02:05:42,447
- Don't you know that
- it doesn't matter...
- 1433
- 02:05:42,567 --> 02:05:47,880
- ...whether you're a queen or
- whore? It's a man's world here!
- 1434
- 02:05:48,267 --> 02:05:51,840
- Where will we go?
- 1435
- 02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:57,138
- 'Will our families
- take us back?
- 1436
- 02:05:57,900 --> 02:05:59,573
- They won't.
- 1437
- 02:05:59,967 --> 02:06:09,251
- The high-caste Brahmins will curse
- during the day & fuck me at night.
- 1438
- 02:06:09,434 --> 02:06:16,181
- Why don't you understand?
- - There's nothing to understand.
- 1439
- 02:06:19,934 --> 02:06:25,384
- They hacked my
- Sujan to pieces.
- 1440
- 02:06:27,168 --> 02:06:33,483
- I won't leave till
- I have my revenge.
- 1441
- 02:06:34,100 --> 02:06:36,341
- Neither will we.
- 1442
- 02:06:38,834 --> 02:06:44,375
- Begum Jaan, this house
- belongs to us as well.
- 1443
- 02:06:44,467 --> 02:06:46,970
- We all live here.
- 1444
- 02:06:47,134 --> 02:06:50,115
- We know what
- awaits us outside
- 1445
- 02:06:50,201 --> 02:06:54,013
- We won't leave! We'll
- fight to death!
- 1446
- 02:06:54,134 --> 02:06:56,774
- Please don't make me move.
- 1447
- 02:06:56,901 --> 02:07:00,872
- Let me wait out my
- remaining days here.
- 1448
- 02:07:01,101 --> 02:07:05,277
- Even in the midst of gun fire.
- 1449
- 02:07:12,267 --> 02:07:19,879
- But somehow, we need to get
- Bnuchki & Shabnam out of here.
- 1450
- 02:07:20,334 --> 02:07:23,838
- This is no place for
- kids So Jnui-
- 1451
- 02:07:23,901 --> 02:07:26,745
- No! Please don't
- say anything
- 1452
- 02:07:26,901 --> 02:07:32,749
- Bnuchki isn't only my daughter!
- All of us have raised her.
- 1453
- 02:07:32,868 --> 02:07:36,042
- Either everyone flees
- with her or no one does!
- 1454
- 02:07:36,134 --> 02:07:39,240
- Why are you
- so stubborn?
- 1455
- 02:07:39,467 --> 02:07:42,277
- You..
- 1456
- 02:07:43,267 --> 02:07:45,008
- Alright.
- 1457
- 02:07:45,800 --> 02:07:48,144
- Do something...
- 1458
- 02:07:51,001 --> 02:07:57,418
- Leave them at my uncle's
- place in Kishenganj for now.
- 1459
- 02:07:58,834 --> 02:08:01,713
- Salim
- - Yes.
- 1460
- 02:08:03,067 --> 02:08:07,379
- You need to deliver an
- important letter to the city.
- 1461
- 02:08:07,834 --> 02:08:12,078
- To Mr. Bipin, in
- the local court.
- 1462
- 02:08:12,167 --> 02:08:15,080
- He'll send it to
- the right place.
- 1463
- 02:08:15,167 --> 02:08:21,948
- I don't think it's wise to
- leave the house now.
- 1464
- 02:08:22,201 --> 02:08:25,944
- They could attack
- any time.
- 1465
- 02:08:28,034 --> 02:08:32,141
- You are right.
- 1466
- 02:08:32,434 --> 02:08:37,782
- But this letter is
- very important too.
- 1467
- 02:08:40,901 --> 02:08:43,006
- Alright.
- 1468
- 02:08:43,300 --> 02:08:48,682
- <i>I'll</i> get the guns out,
- just in case
- 1469
- 02:08:48,801 --> 02:08:52,908
- <i>I'll</i> deliver the letter tomorrow.
- 1470
- 02:09:19,968 --> 02:09:24,383
- Last minute plans will
- be executed thus.
- 1471
- 02:09:25,767 --> 02:09:31,683
- That's not a problem.
- Just don't forget my plan.
- 1472
- 02:09:33,234 --> 02:09:38,707
- Keep your end of the
- bargain, <i>I'll</i> keep mine.
- 1473
- 02:09:47,334 --> 02:09:49,712
- Greetings Mr. Shashi.
- 1474
- 02:09:49,834 --> 02:09:52,075
- Is everything ready?
- - Yes.
- 1475
- 02:09:52,801 --> 02:09:55,941
- The police will be on the
- Debiganj side of the house
- 1476
- 02:09:56,034 --> 02:09:59,140
- Spoke to Mr.Akhtar.
- They'll be there on time.
- 1477
- 02:09:59,300 --> 02:10:01,837
- Men and weapons
- are in the car.
- 1478
- 02:10:01,934 --> 02:10:07,976
- If we rat the whores out of their
- hole, we feast on them all night?
- 1479
- 02:10:45,301 --> 02:10:47,008
- You alright?
- - Yes.
- 1480
- 02:10:47,234 --> 02:10:49,942
- Written the letter to
- Begum Jaan as per plan?
- 1481
- 02:10:50,100 --> 02:10:52,979
- Yes. Written
- everything. Let's go.
- 1482
- 02:10:53,767 --> 02:10:55,269
- Come along.
- 1483
- 02:10:56,267 --> 02:10:58,679
- You left something out!
- 1484
- 02:10:59,834 --> 02:11:02,280
- Finish it off!
- 1485
- 02:11:19,534 --> 02:11:25,212
- Only clients & business
- & oppression & Professor...
- 1486
- 02:11:26,034 --> 02:11:29,607
- That's all you've
- written about.
- 1487
- 02:11:32,101 --> 02:11:39,610
- No mention of howl
- nursed you back to life.
- 1488
- 02:11:41,534 --> 02:11:44,606
- None at all.
- 1489
- 02:11:45,001 --> 02:11:50,001
- Or how I massaged you all
- night during pregnancy.
- 1490
- 02:11:58,934 --> 02:12:03,610
- Countless days of counselling,
- 1491
- 02:12:04,101 --> 02:12:10,882
- stopping you from
- committing suicide..
- 1492
- 02:12:14,834 --> 02:12:19,214
- Didn't mention
- a lot of things.
- 1493
- 02:12:20,834 --> 02:12:27,718
- Fattening a cow for the
- slaughterhouse is not love.
- 1494
- 02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:30,872
- Ungrateful bitch!
- - Salim!
- 1495
- 02:12:33,700 --> 02:12:35,839
- Salim
- 1496
- 02:12:45,567 --> 02:12:48,446
- The kid has grown up.
- 1497
- 02:12:51,601 --> 02:12:53,547
- Let her go.
- 1498
- 02:12:57,434 --> 02:12:59,107
- Let's go.
- 1499
- 02:13:22,534 --> 02:13:24,775
- You can go
- ahead now.
- 1500
- 02:13:47,834 --> 02:13:50,405
- Something's not right.
- 1501
- 02:13:50,500 --> 02:13:52,002
- I feel the same
- 1502
- 02:13:52,101 --> 02:13:53,739
- Guns ready?
- - Yes.

- ...read it out to me
- 1580
- 02:28:48,501 --> 02:28:55,476
- When the darkest, moonless
- night engulfed the world,
- 1581
- 02:28:55,600 --> 02:29:01,141
- When the Sun & Moon
- vanished from the overhead sky,
- 1582
- 02:29:01,200 --> 02:29:09,676
- 12000 Rajput queens started
- on their Jauhar (Mass suicide) ceremony.
- 1583
- 02:29:09,834 --> 02:29:16,945
- To protect their honour
- from the invaders.
- 1584
- 02:29:17,034 --> 02:29:25,715
- Standing in front of a dark
- tunnel, beside the temple in Chittor,
- 1585
- 02:29:25,767 --> 02:29:33,584
- Queen Padmini started
- worshipping Agni (Fire God).
- 1586
- 02:29:33,933 --> 02:29:36,539
- "Oh Fire God!
- 1587
- 02:29:36,967 --> 02:29:41,677
- The Holy One, with the
- Bright Golden Body, come!
- 1588
- 02:29:43,934 --> 02:29:48,542
- Dissipate all darkness
- with your light!
- 1589
- 02:29:48,667 --> 02:29:53,116
- Oh Fire God! The
- Ultimate Power, come!
- 1590
- 02:29:53,801 --> 02:29:58,682
- You're strength of the weak
- & support for the strong!
- 1591
- 02:30:02,067 --> 02:30:08,382
- Oh Terrible One!
- Dispel our fear!
- 1592
- 02:30:08,701 --> 02:30:13,980
- Destroy our guilt!
- Give us refuge!
- 1593
- 02:30:14,400 --> 02:30:20,840
- The end of shame &
- misery, in Your flames!
- 1594
- 02:30:21,400 --> 02:30:27,544
- You're the last Hope!
- The last Chain of Great Freedom!"
- 1595
- 02:30:27,767 --> 02:30:32,682
- Incantating thus, Queen
- Padmini went silent.
- 1596
- 02:30:32,733 --> 02:30:37,733
- Suddenly, raising a great furore,
- 1597
- 02:30:39,901 --> 02:30:49,447
- a 1000 happy flames leapt
- up from within the tunnel!
- 1598
- 02:30:50,367 --> 02:30:56,477
- The dark night was
- shattered by the light!
- 1599
- 02:30:56,633 --> 02:31:01,633
- Queen Padmini plunged into the
- pyre with 12000 Rajput women!
- 1600
- 02:31:07,534 --> 02:31:14,952
- The smiling faces &the
- echoing laughter of Chittor,
- 1601
- 02:31:15,334 --> 02:31:23,048
- turned into ashes in
- a matter of seconds.
- 1602
- 02:31:23,334 --> 02:31:28,682
- And every Rajput heart,
- cried out aloud,
- 1603
- 02:31:28,900 --> 02:31:32,939
- "Hail the Pious One!
- 1604
- 02:31:33,067 --> 02:31:38,016
