All language subtitles for naya raasta 1

Look within yourself,
O my mother land

don't cover up your flaws,
O my mother land

Your history is
written down in blood

you are still considered
backward in this world

You never considered
your own people dear

you never respected the mankind

You imbibed
various religions

and your customs gave
rise only to hatred

You mete out atrocity
in the name of faith

Rise beyond the boundaries
of caste and color

Only humanity is important

Whatever your caste may be

you are after all,
an offspring of human race

if you cannot erase
the hatred from your mind

slavery will once again
come back to your soil

Fear the impending doom and
find a new path for yourself

Mother

Mother, control yourself,
instead of crying

you should pray that father's
soul should rest in peace

Yes mother, he has
gone to heaven

He has accomplished
all his duties

He wanted brother to be a
lawyer and he is a lawyer

He wanted that I should be
educated, even that happened

He has left us so much that we
need not worry about anything

I have decided that I'll give
up my job and stay here

Mother, I will take care
of you and our estate

Come mother, let's go

Master, the arrangements for
the ceremony has been made

Okay, along with the priests,
invite everyone in the village

Alright, master

Please eat well

- Go out and see - Yes, you
do that, I'll manage here

Brother Sukhi, can I
get an extra helping?

Why, do you intend satiating
your one week's hunger here?

- Can I get some lentils?
- It is over

You don't get enough to eat at
home and you're overeating here

Wonder why Thakur invited
lowly people like you here?

Brother, we may be untouchables
but, we are not animals

If you have invited us here,
don't treat as dogs

Do you expect me to make
you sit on my head?

Eat if you wish
or you can leave

Let's go We too
have self respect

What is the matter, why are
you getting up without eating?

This is what happens if you try
to uplift these people, Thakur

They're used to stale food but
here, they are having a feast

and that is why,
they cannot digest

Shut up, Sukhi

What is the matter, Bansi?

I said that if you've invited us
then treat us like human beings

Of course Please sit, I will
myself serve food to you all

Get the trays here

Stop looking at my face
and start sewing

Thakur invited people from
our area for the feast

I heard he doesn't believe
in the caste system

He fed everyone
with great respect

Aunty, this is
a rich man's facade

To display their status
they invite people at home

I would believe him if he
would sit with us and eat

Chameli, come on, help me

Brother's love has
spoilt this girl

How many times have I told you
not to carry so much weight?

You think I am so fragile?

Other girls also carry weight,
nothing happens to them

Why do you compare yourself
with other girls?

If it was possible, I would
have not even let you cook

Is it? If you really care about
me then why don't you marry?

Your wife will cook,
fill water

and we both will
sit here and enjoy

And what if that woman
makes our lives miserable?

Will I be able to bear if she
keeps taunting you all the time?

I will catch her by her braid
and throw her out of the house

- Is it so? - Don't talk about
me, I have got sweets for you

- Sweets? - Yes, from
the Thakur's house

He is a very nice man

Sukhiram treated us as if
we were not human beings

But the Thakur fired him a lot
and fed us with his own hands

I got some sweets
for you from my share

Shallo, for the first time
I came across a rich man

who is like God

Brother, whoever smiles and
talks to you, is like God

You don't believe me? When you
see him with your own eyes

you will believe me

- Eat these sweets
- Keep it, I'll have it later

Why is this witch walking
backwards towards me?

- Greetings, priest
- Damn you

I heard that you feasted very
well at the Thakur's place

You ate 100 'ladoos' there

How are you concerned?
How much ever I ate

will be added in the good deeds
of the departed Thakur's soul

- Move from my way - Oh,
so I am standing in your way?

You can go

If your shadow falls on me, I
will have to bathe once again

- What can I do?
You can go - No

- You will not go?
- No

Alright then I will go

You are laughing at a priest,
you will have to pay for it

- Oh my, you scared me - How
come you're carrying a mango?

That Sukhiram must have kept it

He looks into my eyes from
a distance and talks to me

But he does not come close
nor does he touch me

- All he does, is keep a mango
on my pot - Is it so?

Let's make him count the mangoes
he has given you till date

- What does that mean?
- You wait and see

What's happening here?

- Here, catch this
- Come on, hurry up

Here, catch this too

Stay away Why are you
destroying my orchard?

I am not doing anything,
it is she

- Why are you ruining me?
- Shallo, run

Shallo, how have I harmed you?
Why are you ruining a priest?

Is it alright to keep a mango
on Chameli's pot everyday?

Your orchard will get ruined
if I pluck four mangoes?

- Who keeps the mango on
the pot? - You keep it

You secretly love her
and then get scared?

If you speak further,
I will take you to the Thakur

Is it so? Take me to him,
lam not scared of him

But how will you take me, won't
you be defamed from priesthood?

- Come on, catch me
- Move away

- I will shoo you with this
stick and take you - Is it so?

- Try doing it
- Move away from me

He' s caught you I

Who are you?

My name is Shallo

Master, good you caught her,
she has plucked all the mangoes

- You stole our mangoes?
- Yes I mean, I did not steal

His Chameli has done it

- Who is Chameli?
- His Chameli

- I don't know any Chameli
- He is a liar

Stop it Who is this Chameli
you are talking about?

My shoesand your mango

Hey Why are you smoking there?

Who will complete
the work on the fields?

If you behave like this
what will the Thakur say?

I will pack you all off

Will you shout at others or
will you also do some work?

Go and get the plow

Master, will you plow land
after studying law?

Will I be doing
something wrong?

Mr Chander, it is not right
if you plow in our presence

It is our job to do
such tedious work

A man is not known by his work
but, by the deeds he does

I was born in a farmer's house
and even now, I am one

Plowing the fields is
the foremost duty of a farmer

- Sukhiram, get the plow
- Alright, master

This land would be fortunate
if everyone thought like you

Bansi, someday, everyone will
have to think in this manner

Oh my lam dead

My leg is broken at
the prime of my age

Very good, you deserve it

- I'll be doomed
- Okay, let me see your leg

- Can anyone fix his leg?
- Yes, I can

But how can we touch him,
his faith will be tainted

Is his faith more
important than his leg?

Sukhia, do you want
your leg or your faith?

If I am crippled, what will
I do with my faith?

Come Bansi, help him

Brother Bansi,
please do it gently

- Master, put him on the cot
- Pick him and put him there

Please be gentle

Shallo, come on,
what are you doing there?

- Brother, you didn't have
the pickle - I'll eat

How can I have everything at
one go when you cook so much

Brother, do you know
what the elders say?

It is a sin to cook less food

- You never know when a guest
may arrive - I understand

Eat well, I will go
and get you some water

Wow You all are really
very shameless people

Everyone is eating and nobody
even bothered to offer me food

You are the one who feeds us,
master Please sit with us

That's like it Sit down

This is a poor man's lunch

- Wow
- Eat some more

Sure, let me finish this first,
it's really very good

Bansi, the food is delicious,
you must compliment your wife

Sir, I don't have a wife,
I am not married

My younger sister
has cooked this food

- She cooks very well
- Have some more lentils

She is here, I'll call her
and introduce you to her

Don't hide behind
that tree, come out

She is my younger sister

Oh So she is your sister?

- Master, do you know her?
- I know her very well

I have never come across such
a mischievous girl in my life

Shall I tell Bansi everything?

Go ahead I mean,
please forgive me

- Will you repeat it again?
- Never

- Then catch your ears
- But I have a pot in my hand

- Keep it down
- Alright

- Okay, hold your ears now
- Alright

Master, did she play
a joke on you?

If I wouldn't reach in time,
she would've ruined my orchard

She is very naughty, yesterday,
she threw the priest in muck

Punish her so that she doesn't
ever play pranks on anyone

I'll do just that
Come on, pick the pot

- I am holding my ears
- Leave that and pick the pot

- Alright
- Very good

- Now come with me
- Where?

I will punish you, first
help me to wash my hands

Pour some water
Your punishment is that

you will have to cook food for
me along with your brother

- Yes - Did you like
the food I cooked?

- I liked the food and
I mean - Is it so?

Why did you do this?
Hey Listen to me

Take this tumbler back
Hey Listen, what is your name?

My name is Shallo

Son, there are hardly any days
left for Radha's marriage

We should start
the preparations

Why should we delay
a good cause?

If you wish, my sister can
marry like a queen tomorrow

- People will be stunned, isn't
it, Radha? - Don't tell me

Sit, aren't you glad within?
Then why are you sulking?

Mother, tell him not to
tease me all the while

Where are you going? Sit here

- Don't fool around with her
- Alright, mother

Why didn't Sukhia come in the
afternoon to fetch your lunch?

- Actually, he hurt his leg
- You were hungry the whole day?

How could I stay hungry?
I ate along with the workers

Their food was delicious

Listen son, this is
a village, not a city

you're a landlord, it'll change
their attitude if you do this

The more distance you maintain,
the more they will respect you

Mother, I understand,
I am not a kid

- You wild cat
- Mother, stop him

Brother

- Who is it?
- It's me, Shallo

- Haven't you slept? - I'm not
drunk to fall asleep so soon

Stop lecturing me and
say what is the matter?

Brother, can I
ask you something?

Why do you have to ask
questions in the night?

- Ask me
- Are you sure?

- Ask - Thakur's religion was
not disgraced eating our food?

- Silly girl
- Brother, please wake up

Other people run to bathe even
if our shadow falls upon them

why is it so?
Answer me, brother

Didn't I tell you that he is
not a human being but a God?

- Is it so?
- What?

- He is God - And whatever
God touches, becomes pure

- What did I say?
- It becomes pure

- Now you go and sleep
- No brother, listen to me

This means that master
treats us equal?

- That's right - But why
don't others think like him?

Have you lost your senses?
You have ruined my sleep

I feel sober again

- Go and see if any liquor
is left - Alright

Brother, this bottle is empty

Stop chanting my name
I have broken my leg

- Take the milk
- I don't need it

- What happened? - The bull
hit me with it's horn

Thankfully it was my leg, it
did not tear open my stomach

Oh, God Have you
been to a doctor?

Bansi straightened my leg and
asked me to lie on the bed

I cannot even move What are
you doing there, come closer

If I touch you, your faith
will be disgraced

Forget the faith, when Bansi
straightened my leg

I didn't lose my faith then how
will I lose it with your touch?

Come closer

Not there, hereNot even
there, touch me here

- Where is it hurting?
- In my ribs, my heart

- Move away - I have caught
your hand for the first time

I will die if you spurn me

Liar The bull kicked you
and your broke your leg

and if I spurn you,
you will die?

There is a difference
in a bull and your love

I can live with a broken leg
but, not with a broken heart

- Liar Let me go - No,
I will not let you leave

- I have to go
- Please wait for sometime

No, I have to go

Did you keep these flowers?

- Why? - I had plucked
them for prayers

And I offered them
to the deity

So that means
you are a devotee?

I have no doubts
in your devotion

But, I am very certain
that I am no God

It is not good to place an
ordinary man on the pedestal

For us, you are like God
You have treated us equal

You ate the food cooked by me

I ate because, you cook
delicious and hygienic food

Besides, it is a man's foremost
duty to treat everyone equal

What is so great about that?

Master, you are educated and
we are illiterate people

But, I know that prior to this,
nobody treated us as humans

Perhaps under your influence,
people may stop humiliating us

Your pronunciation
is all wrong

Say it againThat's right

Now say the other
word once again

- Say it once again
- Alright

That's great You are
a quick learner

Is it? I never forget
whatever I am taught

I learnt to cook in 4 days and
to milk a cow in 1 day

she kicked me once but,
I caught her legs tightly

and now, she recognizes
me by my touch

I had learnt to sing and
dance when I was very small

I had danced a lot when I was
small for my aunt's wedding

- Then? - Then I danced
and singed for a long time

- I am going
- Listen

The place for these flowers
is in your hair

I am very sure that

someone is looking
for excuses

to entice my innocent heart

My heart dances with joy

I have made a place
in his heart

Or else, he wouldn't want to
put the flowers in my tresses

Brother, please listen
to me for a moment

- What is it?
- Come here

- Now tell me
- Well, it's nothing

Why did you dirty my clothes?

Brother, this is just a sample
of 'holi' which is tomorrow

your clothes will get dirty,
nobody will recognize you

Look mother, she has
dirtied my clothes

Oh my God, how did this
poor priest harm anyone?

- Don't throw your weight on me
- What else can I do?

Haven't you heard that a woman
is a man's better half?

No, it's the wife who is
a man's better half

You haven't married me and are
talking about your rights?

- Walk straight - No, I
will only if you help me

Alright, let's go

Walk straight, I have to play
'holi' with you tomorrow

My veil is pure white

my age is very tender

please color me gently

don't use force on me

After many years,
lam playing 'holi'

don't run away from me,
come closer, my dear

Spray the water very gently,
don't be harsh on me

Please don't pull my arm

you may rip my silk blouse

For my sake, listen to my
request, it makes me feel shy

The magic of your body is
covered with your wet veil

Come and hide in my arms

don't be afraid of me, my dear

if we meet, it will satiate
the thirst of our heart

and even I can relax under
the pretext of 'holi'

Don't you dare catch my hand
again or I will claw your face

I don't care even if you break
my head, I'll catch your hand

You fink

- Will you do it again?
- I'll never repeat it

- I'll teach you a lesson
- What is happening here?

- Save me - This rascal has
been drunk since yesterday

Master, forgive me,
I will never drink again

What is the harm, everyone
here drinks alcohol

- Do you also drink?
- Never My brother drinks

I know yesterday was 'holi'
and everyone drank a lot

Everyone must have
celebrated and rejoiced

and that is why, nobody
has come to work today

Gandhiji tried his best to
reform you all but he couldn't

- I don't understand anything
- Let me explain, come with me

- What kind of a joke is this?
- This is not a joke, brother

I am trying to make you sober

And if you drink again,
I will dip you in the river

Why are you after my life?
Other men also drink

If other men jump in the well,
will you also follow them?

- My foot, I will jump
I am not crazy - Really?

Okay then swear upon me that
henceforth, you'll never drink

Why are you adamant
about my not drinking?

- Who has taught you this?
- The Thakur

We have embraced all the bad
habits of the rich people

but, we cannot accept
their good habits

That is why, I have
promised him

that I will surely make
you give up on alcohol

That's why, I want you to swear
on me you'll never drink again

Brother

- Come on, brother
- Alright

I used to drink sometimes to
relax, now I can't even do that

Really? My bother
is really very nice

Bansi, where are you?
Aren't you yet ready?

- Where do we have to go?
- You've forgotten?

- We have to attend a wedding
- Oh, it slipped from my mind

Shallo, get my turban
and my silk shirt

Wonder how your friends are

They take you for weddings but,
never try to get you married

- You?
- What are you doing?

I was praying to God
I do it everyday

- What do you ask for?
- Welll

my brother is not getting
married because of me

All I pray to God is to give
my brother enough sense

that he gets a nice
sister in law for me

But, can't you see
how far God is from you?

And perhaps, he cannot
even hear your voice

Of course he can hear
He listens to everyone

If that was so then why is
your wish still not granted?

In modern times, you have to be
in a close proximity with God

Only then he listens
to your prayers

- Come with me
- Where?

- In the temple - I cannot
taint the temple's sanctity

The place which is tainted so
easily can't be a God's abode

This place doesn't discriminate
between caste and creed

There are no barriers
or doors for anyone

But then why do all
temples have doors?

Do you want to know?

Temples, mosques, churches,
vaults are like a human heart

it is man who has made doors
on them, not God

And do you know why? So that
a helpless and weak man

cannot ask God for his rights

Come with me

You have brought me
to this height

if I slip a step, I will die

Till my arms have the
strength to hold you

no power in this world can
move you from your place

And that place is my heart

Come with me

How did this girl come in?

Who got her here?

- I have got her - You have
made this place impure

Why did you get
scared and run away?

I was with you, nobody
could have harmed you

Master, my fear is justified
You cannot fight the society

Then perhaps, you
don't know me well

I'm not weak to yield in front
of those illiterate people

I plead to you, don't fight
the society for my sake

What you want can never happen

Wipe out your tears

smile and change
the world for yourself

You won't achieve
anything by bowing down

you can change things
if you look up

One does not get
life in alms

you have to move ahead and
snatch the moments of life

you can change things if you

grab your rights
from this world

Color, caste,
creed, religion

whatever it may be,
is not above human beings

Like me, even if you
accept this fact

you can change
things for yourself

In this world of hatred

we have to build
a world of love

You will not achieve
anything by staying away

you will change everything
if you come closer

Is it true that you took an
untouchable in the temple?

Yes, this is true

How could you do this inspite
of belonging to a high caste?

You have contaminated
the sanctity of the temple

That temple is still
at it's place

I have not contaminated it,
I have enhanced it further

Do you know the repercussions
of your foolishness?

You will be ostracized
from our community

People will stop communicating
or trading with you

Your sister's wedding
will not take place

Who will stop
my sister's wedding?

Tell me, which one of you
will stop my sister's wedding?

Not even a child will
participate in that wedding

Silent

The wedding will
still take place

Listen to me, if anyone tries
to stop my sister's wedding

then he will have to
face the consequences

If you have fallen head over
heels for that girl

then why are you hell bent
on destroying all of us?

Make her your mistress
and keep her in a corner

Shut up You are older than me
that's why I'm forgiving you

if someone of my age would say
this, I'd pull out his tongue

Talk about her with the same
respect as your own daughter

I have decided to marry Shallo

- What will happen?
- Exactly as we want

We will have to call the
headman of their council

Shallo look, your brother
has got a beauty

Brother, who is she?

She is your sister in law

Really, she is a beauty

Chameli, come on,
move that box

Why are you feeling
shy? Sit down

Now tell me, when and how did
this marriage take place?

When I kept telling you,
you flatly refused me

And now that you got married,
nobody is even aware of it

Shallo, it wasn't my friend's
wedding, it was mine

My friends insisted on it
and I could not do anything

- Let me inform everyone
- Wait, Shallo

Aunty, listen everyone,
my brother has got married

Please come and have a look
at my sister in law

Master

- When did you come?
- Just now

What are you thinking?

Nothing

I was thinking about you

- What? - That you are
a very bad girl

I keep thinking of
you all the while

What have you done to me?

What if I ask you
the same question?

I cannot concentrate on anything
when I am away from you

Is that why you have
come to meet me?

I had come to say
one more thing

My brother has got married

You mean Bansi got married?

Yes, my brother got married

Today, there will be a
celebration at my place

- Celebration?
- Yes

Oh, I see I am bound to be
there if there's a celebration

- Will you come?
- Of course, I will

- You mean it?
- Yes, I do

I will wait for you

My dear, I plead to you

don't reject me
after accepting me

There is a fire
tingling within me

You have worked your charm on
me and I have fallen for you

My beloved, don't
torture me anymore

My mind and body are restless
on this night of rejoicing

My bangles desire for you
to hold my hand

Now that we have vowed, let's
not go through more agony

Bansi, I am asking you
for Shallds hand

Master, I don't
believe my ears

I am asking for Shallds hand

Master, we cannot
reach your status

My sister does not deserve you

If she wouldn't deserve me,
I would never hold her hand

How can an untouchable marry
in the Thakur's family?

Master, the sun can
rise from the west

but, an untouchable can never
be accepted in a high caste

Bansi, there is nothing in this
world which is impossible

Love does not see the barriers
of caste and creed

In fact, it can face any hurdle

It can break all the walls
created by the society

I just need your consent

You'll marry in a rich family,
you'll be one of the Thakurs

People will bow down with
respect in front of her

I can never offer her
this kind of happiness

Master, Shallo belongs to you

You will marry an untouchable?

She is not only that, she is
pretty and intelligent too

Did I rear you and educate
you to face this day

so that one day, you can
disgrace your ancestors?

How can you marry a girl
from a low caste?

Education teaches to rise above
the pitfalls of the society

Education doesn't
teach to surrender

Being my mother you want to
teach me that I should

learn to discriminate
between God's creation?

I don't wish to
hear any further

People enrich their families
after education

they add to the glory
of the family name

That's what I am doing, people
always looked down upon them

and I am embracing those people

Isn't this adding honor and
glory to the family's name?

I want to light a lamp which
will brighten this house

You are trying to ignite
this house, Chander

You are destroying your
ancestral prestige and fame

You are tainting your image

Before uplifting anyone, your
duty lies within this house

Mother, how can a man live
only for his interest?

But for whose betterment
do you wish to marry?

For this house, yourself,
me or your sister?

You are marrying only for
your own selfish interest

- You have misunderstood me
- I understood you very well

You have been blinded by
an untouchables beauty

And you cannot distinguish
between good and bad

Until I am alive, I'll not let
you take this wrong decision

In that case, you also
listen to my decision

I have made my decision on
the basis of my principles

which I have learnt
after my education

I want to set an example for
the young educated men like me

Irrespective of caste or faith,
a man should get his rights

If you think I am being selfish
then I am proud about it

Do you want us to starve
and stop working?

Chaudhary, how can I let
any harm befall upon my clan?

Then get your sister married
to someone from our clan

But Chaudhary, Thakur is
in love with Shallo

In front of everyone, he
asked for Shallds hand

You have lost
your senses, Bansi

The senior village council
has repudiated his decision

Now, you or your sister,
try to meet Thakur

then we all will be doomed

We all can live peacefully if
you get your sister married

But how can I force Shallo to
get married against her wishes?

If you don't, you'll be barred
from the village and the clan

And this will happen before
Thakur's sister gets married

I want to know why you are
stopping me from meeting Thakur?

You gave your consent and now,
you want to ruin my life?

Tell me brother, why are you
meting this injustice?

I can understand your agony
but, I have no solution

The world could not bear
to see you happy

I wonder why God
is so merciless?

Why does he add more grief in
the lives of the helpless ones?

Brother, I will
not get married

Brother, please let me
meet him once

we may be helpless but, Thakur
is not in the same position

We can bow in front
of this injustice

but, he will give a befitting
reply to the world

No Shallo, you
cannot meet Thakur

It's the council's decision
and we have to abide to it

Please have mercy on my state

Please say yes to the alliance
I have fixed for you

No This marriage
cannot take place

I will commit suicide but,
I will not get married

- Madam, you? - Yes Bansi,
I want to meet your sister

My sister?She is inside

Madam, why are you
standing? Please sit

- I am fine - Have you come
here to ask for my hand?

I have come here to ask
you for a very big favor

I have come to discuss
a mother's helpless state

Please don't think about
taking away Chander from me

I have come here to
ask for Radha'a life

You have come here to
ask for Radhefs life?

I am a poor and helpless girl,
what can I offer anyone?

My daughter and my life
lies in your hands

I genuinely want you to
be my daughter in law

As a mother, I cannot be a
hindrance in my son's life

- You are great - But if it
happens, we will be doomed

The family that
should be rejoicing,

will be shrouded in
the shadows of death

As soon as you will be
a part of the Thakur clan

my daughter's wedding
will be called off

You'll get married but,
nobody will ever marry her

And do you know
the repercussions of that?

- What? - I'll have to
strangle her with my own hands

And to hide my disgrace,
I will have to commit suicide

You will be held responsible
for this devastation

Not only this, people will
start calling you ill-fated

Your brother will be doomed and
your tribe will be perished

And after all this, do you
think Chander will respect you?

Think about it, do you
want this to happen?

No

How can I let this
calamity take place?

Then say yes to the alliance
your brother has fixed for you

As a mother, I cannot give
you a better advice

Love means sacrificing,
not being selfish

I have not seen my mother

you have come here as a mother
and are asking for a favor

I promise to hand over
your son back to you

My love for him
made me forget that

I am a mere untouchable

This is a small token
from me for your marriage

You can gift this money
to your daughter from me

What if Chander
comes here to meet you?

I will refuse to meet him

- Do you want anything else?
- Nothing

May God bless you

This money is for
your sister's dowry

start making preparations
for her marriage

Nobody should know
that I came here

Nobody will know, madam

- What's happening here, Bansi?
- Shallds wedding

Bansi, have you forgotten,
I asked you for Shallds hand?

It is my bad luck You please
leave this place, Thakur

What joke is this? I will not
let the wedding take place

- Where is Shallo?
- You cannot meet Shallo

- Leave me, Bansi - There are
guests here, don't disgrace me

You are concerned about your
honor and what about me?

The wedding procession
has to go back

Thakur, please return back

What are you saying? Have you
given consent for this marriage?

Yes, whatever is happening
is with my consent

So was your love a game?

Yes, the class distinction
has ended that game now

Please don't create
an obstacle in my marriage

Master, you have
heard Shallds decision

Now you please leave from here

Shallo, the groom has arrived
Come on, get up

Brother

What is the matter?

NothinglmRadha, love trust
does not exist in this world

The girl whom
I loved so much

the one whom
I wanted to marry

she has closed the doors
of her house on me forever

She refused to meet me

She surely had
a reason to do this

What reasons could she have?
I was the one who was helpless

The honor of the family,
the society,

your marriage, I was ready
to face any obstacle

I can understand your grief
but, what can happen now?

Nothing can happen, Radha

I am not feeling bad because
Shallo is getting married

I felt bad because she kept
me dark about her feelings

Why did she do that?

May God bless you
May you prosper

Mother, see what a beautiful
bride I have got

She is like a Goddess
Please come in

You can see her later

Mother, come here

Shallds brother has given
a lot of money in dowry

So much?

Ramu, how could you forget
to invite your friends?

Stop cribbing,
I'll just be there

You go and come back soon,
don't make your bride wait

Alright, mother

She is as beautiful
as the moon

Aunty, the moon
has a scar on it

Wretched woman Can you
see any scar on her?

No, I just answered
to what aunty said

She is the most beautiful
woman in our entire tribe

Oh Then you surely did not
see me when I was young

I was complimented by each
and every person of the tribe

Will you'll keep talking,
won't you offer us some sweets?

Yes, I'll give but first,
take a close look at her

Congratulations, sister
How are you?

Please sit, I'll just be back

She is beautiful but, I heard
you didn't get enough dowry

May doom fall upon the person
who told you this

Forget the clothes jewellery,
She has got a lot of money too

Here it is Have you
ever seen so much money?

That's all?

You have made a very
bad deal, sister

Rubbish I've got my son
married, not made a deal

If you would make a deal, I am
sure you wouldn't be cheated

In this deal, if you'd ask for
more, you would have got it

I don't understand,
what are you trying to say?

I am feeling quite
embarrassed to tell you

Your son and you
have been cheated

She is has been castoff
by RamgarHs Thakur

And with great pride you are
displaying her to everyone?

And you even say that
she is beautiful as the moon

Shut up Mind your tongue

I will pull it out
if you say a word more

I will shut up but, will you be
able to shut everyone's mouth?

This wretched woman has
disgraced our entire community

Don't you dare abuse
my daughter in law

I will pull out your tongue,
get out from here

- Leave her
- You move away, child

- I will kill you
- Go and kill her and Bansi

Ask her if she was
the Thakur's mistress or not?

Didn't the village council
forcibly get her married?

Ask her

No

It was true that is why,
she ran away

You wanted to kill me
because of this witch?

- Come on, kill me
- Get out from here

Oh God Why did you mete out
this injustice on me?

- No, please don't do it
- You have to apply it

You are already very fair

When your groom sees your face
he will forget the world

- Close your eyes when he
come in front of you - Why?

If you keep them opened, he'll
get drowned in it's depth

- Mother, tell them - She
must be tired, it's quite late

- Apply the paste quickly
- Alright, we will

Mother, why are you
lying down like this?

- What is the matter?
- We are doomed

We are disgraced

But, what is the matter?
Where is Shallo?

Don't mention her name,
throw her out of this house

But what has she done?

What could be more disgraceful
when a woman loses her honor?

Mother, she is newly married
and you are accusing her?

I'm not levying accusations,
she has come with them

Call her and ask her
in front of me

Ask her whatever Basanti
said was right or wrong?

Call her and ask

Open the door, Shallo

What am I hearing? Come here

Tell mother that all those
accusations are false

Tell her that you are chaste

Mother, I swear upon you,
these accusations are false

Is it a lie that the council
got you married forcibly?

Is it a lie that the Thakur
paid your dowry money?

Are these allegations wrong?

No, this is true

If this is true then
why not the other allegations?

Tell me, weren't you
Thakur's mistress or not?

No, that is a lie

I did love him but I did
not lose my honor to him

I sacrificed my love
the very same moment

I took the sacred vows
with your son

Did you hear that? She is a
rare type of a dedicated wife

she gives her heart to
someone else and marries you

No Please believe me

my body and soul belong to you

- I am innocent and chaste
- Shut up, you wretched woman

How can you call yourself
chaste if you love someone else?

I feel like silencing you
forever for saying such words

I feel like scarring your face
for projecting innocence

Get out from here,
get away from my sight

Please don't ask me to
leave, I am your wife

- Don't you dare talk
like that - I will not go

- Get out
- No, I will not

- I will kill you - Even if
you kill me, I will not leave

Then go and die there

Where is everyone?

- Brother - Who has
put you in this state?

It is my fate that has
put me in this state

- But how did this happen?
- I am very unfortunate

I cannot blame anyone
Brother, you go away from here

And take your
beloved sister along

Why have you punished
my fragile sister?

You are acting as if you don't
know of your sinful deeds?

Why are you accusing my sister?

Take this unworthy girl
back to Thakur

I don't want such a defamed
woman in my house

You can accuse me of
whatever you wish

you can abuse me but,
don't say a word to Shallo

Why shouldn't we,
you have cheated us

You have defamed our family
name and disgraced us

Don't say that, your honor,
your prestige, is dear to me

I can assure you that
my Shallo is flawless

Whom are you fleecing, Bansi?

You may make up for her lost
honor in return of money

but, you cannot buy
my son with this money

Take away this money
and your sister too

I assure you, this money is
not earned by wrong means

I plead to you, please don't
spurn my innocent sister

Ramu, you please
convince your mother

misunderstanding can make
a person talk like this

but, please don't punish
my sister for a small mistake

Shallo is chaste and she is
the honor of this family

Don't throw out your honor or
the world will mock at you

My sister will not be able
to survive this shock

- Get away
- Brother

If you have any dignity left
then commit suicide with her

Brother, please go away, don't
get humiliated any further

You come along with me,
I will not let you live here

I cannot leave
my husband's house

Silly girl Your husband
will torture you to death

I don't care but, I will
not leave this house

Heaven or hell, I belong
to this place now

You can consider that
your sister is dead

You are saying such words to
the brother who raised you up?

The one who never let any
shadow of grief fall upon you?

How can I do that to myself?
Shallo, you come with me

I will not come,
you go from here, brother

For God's sake,
please leave from here

And you also go

I am her brother or I would
have broken your hands

Did you see that,
now come along with me

- No brother, I will not come
- You will have to

Let's go, the wedding
procession has arrived

Bansi, you gave up on alcohol
then why have you started again?

I am celebrating
my sister's marriage

Marriage?Bansi, it's
Thakur's sister's wedding

Won't you go there to meet him?

Wonder why you shout and talk?

Move away

Hey, stop Who are you?

I have come to congratulate
Thakur for his sister's wedding

- Take him away
- Who are you to stop me?

Take him away

- Who is screaming
like this? - It's Bansi

- Silence him
- I'll do it right away

Leave me and listen
to what I am saying

- Who is screaming? - Nobody,
you sit, I'll go and check

You are drunk? Can't you see
there is a wedding here?

I have come to congratulate,
let me in

You will be thrashed and
become sober in a minute

You may kill me but yet,
I will go inside

Stop him

- Yes, master
- What is happening?

Bansi is drunk and
is creating a scene

She Ruined my sister's life and
now wants to marry her daughter?

- What nonsense are you talking?
- I am not talking nonsense

Thakur, my sister
treated you like God

but, you are not
even a human being

Go and see the state
she is in because of you

Thakur, how did
my sister harm you?

You are not in
your senses, Bansi

I cannot talk to you now,
I have guests at home

I want you to
leave immediately

Today I will tell the world,
how the rich people play

with the poor,
to save their honor

Shallds in laws are
screaming out that

you treated my sister
as your mistress

And to cover this scandal,
you gave money and bought us

Thakur, your sister will be
married in a rich family

but, what about
my sister's fate?

Master, you go inside
Hey Throw him out

He belongs to a low caste and
to top it, he is even drunk

Wretched man

I have consumed alcohol

but, what have you had?

Haven't you consumed
a man's blood?

I may be wretched

but, what do I call you?

if you drink, it is justified
but, if we drink it is a sin

Your life is a gift to mankind
but, we are considered waste

You are decent
and rich people

but, we are
vagrants and poor

We are in the state wherein,
life and death both cry on us

Whatever you say is the truth
and whatever we say is false

You are forgiven for anything,
be it injustice or theft

You may have broken
innumerable hearts,

you may have perished
umpteen houses

But here, I have
destroyed my own house

Customs and rituals
are all in your favor

so is the religion
and the society

But, all we have is
filth and smoke

You may pull out my tongue
for stating this fact

But, the future will account
for all your deeds

- Hey Who are you? - I am
your princess, my prince

First I used to come in your
dreams but, nowl am a reality

- Touch me
- Why have you come here?

I have come here for good

But you have come here before

Why have you dressed up like
this and come at this hour?

Can't you see? I am
dressed up as a bride

We are getting married today

My marriage with you?

Have you lost your mind,
shameless woman

You can flirt with me but,
you cannot marry me?

You have romanced me, now
you will have to marry me

You think that you can
force me into marrying you?

I will see how you don't
relent to my demand

I'm not Shallo who married
someone else on Madam's behest

- Will you marry me or not?
- Never, I will not

- Oh God, save me
- Priest, start the rituals

I belong to a high caste,
how can I marry her?

- You explain it to her
How can I sit? - Sit down

Oh God, please help me

My tresses will form
a fragrant shadow on you

and my slender arms
will encircle you

Don't bother about
anything at this moment

the world is at your feet
at this moment

The depth of the ocean and
the tinkle of my anklets

and the endless nights
of my youth

You have the paradise
in your arms

and happiness at your feet

Look into my eyes

let my lips be concealed
under your lips

You may go back tomorrow

but tonight, you belong to me

Where have you brought me?

This is your house, master

O bridemy bride

The bed is empty on my nuptial
night, where is my bride?

Has she run away?

Brideo bride

Why are you standing there?
Come close to me

Come hereYou won't?
Okay, I'll come there

You are upset because
I have come late?

Not only have you come late
but, you are drunk too

So what? All rich men
have alcohol

- Where are you coming from?
- What do you mean?

I asked a very simple question,
where are you coming from?

- Don't ask me such questions
- Don't raise your voice

Or even I will have
to raise my voice

I am asking you where
were you were so long?

And what if I chose not
to answer your question?

Then you will have to leave
this room right away

and spend the night in the
place from where you've come

Who do you think you are?
I am the master of this house

Then what am I, your doormat?

You are not but, if you behave
like that, you'll become one

If you want to spend the rest
of your life peacefully here

then you better know
where your place is

- Where is it? - On this bed
and the 4 walls of this house

Where I go and what I do
is none of your concern

Why not? I am your wife,
not a helpless animal

If you think that you can
treat me the way you want

then forget about it

Radha, before I raise
my hand, watch your mouth

Try it Gone are the days
when men could do anything

When you treated a woman as a
doormat and mete out atrocities

Today, a woman can protect
her own interests

A woman's happiness doesn't
lie within this four walls

nor does it lie
in this cushy bed

Nor does it lie
in good food and clothes

Her happiness is in her
husband's lap, in his caress

A base and a debauch man can't
understand these sentiments

- I am base and debauch?
- What else are you?

When a woman gets married

she is lost in her dreams and
sits on her nuptial bed

and awaits the arrival
of her husband

It's past midnight and he
comes home in a drunken stupor

And that too, after spending
time with some other woman

Let's decide right away if you
want to lead a decent life

or you want to continue
with you debauch lifestyle

Answer me

I want an answer or I'll call
your parents and tell them

- Don't go
- Leave me

I give up, please forgive me

- Then henceforth, you'll
never come late? - Never

- You'll never have alcohol?
- Never

Then come with me

- Open the door
- But

I have seen everything,
open it

Throw these bottles
outside the window

Wait, there are
some photographs here

- Anything else?
- No

I have got a very beautiful
and an intelligent wife

who has taught me a lesson
I'll never forget

Trust me, you'll never regret
what I have told you

You will get all the happiness
in your married life

- Come - Wait till tomorrow
when you'll return back in time

Why are you making her work
from the very first day?

- What is this? - So what?
Let her manage her own house

- Child, keep these keys
- No, you keep them with you

I will ask you if
I need anything

No, I've been managing this
house since past 2O years

I want to relieve myself
from this burden

Oh Is that why you are
giving her the keys?

You keep out of this ask her
if you need anything in future

Here, child

Sit here, child

Child, what time did
Suraj come home at night?

He returned back quite early

- Did I say something wrong?
- No, I liked the way you said

A decent wife tries to hide
the flaws of her husband

But if Suraj is your husband,
he is my son too

I know very well when he
goes and when he returns

But I like the way you
fired him last night

- You heard all of that?
- What's the harm in that?

I was just listening to my what
my children were talking

There is nothing to feel
embarrassed about it, child

If you'd also fall weak then
this house would be doomed

Father, you be assured,
he will reform very soon

That's what I expect from you,
just hold his reins tightly

- Brother
- Greetings

Greetings, you couldn't be
away from your sister

have you come to see
how we treat her?

That's not the thing, actually
I have some work with Radha

- Forget that and eat with me
- I've already eaten

I am in a hurry today, I'll
come again some other time

Child, take your brother inside

- What is it, brother?
- I want you to do me a favor

- Tell me - You are not aware
that Shallo is married here

You know exactly
what mother did

Anyway, whatever had to
happen, has happened

But because of me, that girl
is being tortured incessantly

That is why, I want you to
talk to Shallds husband

that she is innocent and
her character is unblemished

The money was given
by mother, not me

Is it so? Anyway, you don't
worry about that

I will talk to him But, can
I say something, brother?

- Tell me - Now you
also should get married

Gradually, you will
get over your grief

I will when I am mentally
prepared for it

Joy and grief are
phases of life

besides other work, I'm working
on upliftment of untouchables

By getting married
I cannot atone for my sin

- I will leave now - No
brother, wait for some time

From tomorrow I am starting
a school for the untouchables

I have to make arrangements
for that, I will leave

Take care oi Suva}

Ramu, are you aware why I have
called both of you here?

No, madam

Have you been hit?

Ramu, how could you thrash your
chaste wife so mercilessly?

Madam, if she was chaste,
I would worship her

Everyone sees her scars but what
about the wounds in my heart?

She has lost her honor
and married me

That's not true
Someone has instigated you

And your anger has
blinded your senses

One person can lie but,
what about the whole world?

Or, who would unnecessarily
doubt his wife?

You are fortunate to have
a wife like Shallo

Or else, by now, she would
have been my sister in law

- Then why didn't that happen?
- Because of my mother

It was my mother who
gave Bansi that money

it was my mother who
compelled her to get married

My brother was not aware of
this fact till the last moment

When he went to meet her,
she refused to meet him

Ask her If she wished,
she could marry him anytime

But do you know why this
great woman didn't do that?

Because of me The council
threatened to stop my marriage

She didn't do because of her
clan or they would be perished

She didn't do it because of her
brother and saved him from doom

No unchaste woman can make
such big sacrifices

Only the woman who respects her
honor and integrity can do this

That's all I can tell you

Madam, I would like to believe
in every word you said but

Now if you hit her, you'll
be committing a grave mistake

Yet if you don't believe me,
I can swear upon my husband

Every word I have said is true

- Madam - No Shallo,
call me your sister

- What is happening here?
- Nothing

I cleared a misunderstanding
between a husband and a wife

- Who is she? - she is
Shallo, she's from my village

Oh So she's the one?

- Can we leave now? - Ramu,
will you remember what I said?

Yes, I will Shallo, let's go

Your brother cannot be blamed
if he fell in love with her

She is very beautiful

just like a lotus
which grows in muck

Okay, stop it now and let's go

Looks like she is ready for
another round of thrashing

Mother, from now on,
we have to stop this

I am certain that Shallo
is absolutely chaste

What magic has she cast on you
that you're calling her chaste?

Madam has told me everything
All those allegations are false

We were unnecessarily meting
out injustice on her

Oh So she is the one
who has brain washed you?

But don't you know that
she is her lover's sister?

Mother, I told you to
stop it She is my wife

behave like a
good mother in law

Oh So now you want
to order me around?

I don't want to disgrace my
image by accepting this woman

I want to live
amidst my community

Shallo will live here and
that too, with respect

And don't you dare harass her

Don't you have any shame
left in you, Ramu?

Remember, you can fix
something that has broken

but a woman can never get
back her lost honor

If you are my son then throw
her out of the house right away

Or, you also leave
the house along with her

No mother, let me live here
like a maid and serve you

You have disgraced our honor,
now what more do you want?

Get out from here

Mother, is this
your final decision?

Yes, it's my final decision

- No mother, please don't
do that - Don't touch me

Get out from here
or I will kill you

- I don't wish to see
your face - Come on, Shallo

- We cannot leave this house
- Come with me, Shallo

- Mmher“
- GO away“

I will think my son is dead

- Greetings, sir -Ramu, where
are you going with these bags?

- Welll
- Tell me, what is the matter?

- Well, my mother
- Did you have a fight with her?

- And you don't have
a place to live? - Right

One of my bungalow is vacant,
you go and live there

- You can live there as
long as you want - But

- No ifs and buts
- Alright

A nuptial night holds peace
and dreams for the future

- What happened?
- Nothing

- What are you thinking?
- What mother must be thinking?

Because of me, her son
has separated from her

Silly girl No son can be
separated from his mother

Mother is upset thinking
about the society

After her anger subsides, she
herself will come to take you

Is it?

- What is it?
- Thakur has called you

Which Thakur?

Oh, I see Shallo, I'll go and
meet Thakur Suraj Pratap Singh

Come in, Ramu

Sit downnot there,
sit on the chair

Sit down

Ramu, I treat everyone equal

I was passing so I thought of
checking if you're comfortable

I am thankful to you for
giving me with so much respect

Caste and creed are
all man made, Ramu

If a man desires anything,
he can achieve it

only he should be focussed

Master, I don't understand

In due course,
you will know everything

I want to see you happy and
prosper with your wife

With your blessings,
that will come true

It surely will But, it
takes two to make a clap

- Here, take this - No sir,
Shallo may not approve of it

Besides, tonight I don't
wish to upset my wife

You are right, a nuptial
night doesn't come again

But, if a little alcohol
is added to this night

then the romance
is much more fun

Come on, have it

You can treat this bungalow
as your own house

Don't hesitate to ask me
for money or anything else

For now, you can
keep this amount

Master, how will
I repay your favor?

We'll find a way, Ramu

We have to help each other

Master, how can a poor man
like me, help you?

If you order me, I can
lay down my life for you

Shallo is pretty and if her
husband is stuck in poverty

then it is indeed
a very unfortunate state

Thakur, tell me clearly
what are you thinking?

I want to spend this
nuptial night with Shallo

Nobody will ever know and
you'll live here comfortably

Damned is such comfort

This can never happen
until I am alive

Why not? Thakur Chander Singh
could romance Shallo

then can't I spend
just one night with her?

Thakur, we may belong
to a lower caste

but like you,
our deeds are not low

We don't trade our
wives and daughters

- Take your money back
- You cannot go out

- Rascal Have you forgotten
your status? - Move away

Or, I may raise my hand on you

Rascal You will
raise your hand on me?

- Leave me'
- You cannon go nu“

- You cannot go to Shallo
- Leave me

Nono

What happened to you?

Shallo, go away from here, this
monster wants to molest you

- I will not go
- For God's sake, please go

- No, I will not go
- You will have to go

Is this why you
killed my husband?

I did not, he has
died his own death

And you should be happy that he
is away from our way, forever

Don't you dare touch me

I knew that your
intentions were evil

But, I didn't know that you'd
be so evil and kill someone

You are the cause of his death,
if this fool would agree

then the matter would not reach
here and if you also persist

then you will be framed
for this murder

Because the murder weapon
is in your hand

It has your fingerprints on it

I don't want such a beautiful
face to be hung at the noose

The punishment for one
murder is same as two

If you wish to live
then move away

Don't be silly You don't
know how it is to be hung

As soon as the noose tightens,
the eyes pop out

The neck stretches
and snaps out

Nobody knows what
happens after death

But instead of losing my honor,
I'd prefer to die at the noose

How far will you go?
There is a wall behind you

When someone cannot move behind
then it is better to go ahead

I am saying for the last
time, move from my way

I laud your courage

You're worthy of being my wife,
you look pretty in this attire

Keep your dirty hands
away from me

I know that you have
committed this murder

You are very evil and
it is better that you die

If you don't listen, I know
how to make you relent

Don't play with
your life, Thakur

Let me see who
plays with whose life?

No, leave meNo

For God's sake,
please leave me

Let me see who saves you now

No

I did not do anythingl

Brother, save me,
they will kill me

Who can kill you
in my presence?

Blood?Shallo,
what happened?

No

Shallo, open the
doorl plead to you

Shallo, come out and
tell me the truth

I will burn down
their entire settlement

Brother Bansi, all the houses
have been set on fire

Your house is also burning,
come on, run

Shallo, our house is
on fire, open the door

Open the door, Shallo

Open the door, Shallo

Please save Shallo,
she is locked in her room

- Go away
- What madness is this, Shallo?

I want to die, leave me alone

- Stop it and come with me
- No

I will not come with you

Don't save her life, she has
murdered Suraj Pratap Singh

Yes, I have killed him

- What if I don't hand her over?
- You cannot take her alive

It's better if you hand
her over, go and seize her

Don't you dare move ahead
or I will shoot

Inspector, take her away

Yes, I am an unchaste woman
and I've killed the Thakur

Sir, please kill me,
I don't wish to live

You can hang me if you wish
but, please don't leave me

My lord, thus, the accused
has taken the blame of

Suraj Pratap Singh as well as
her husband's murder on herself

My honorable friend has stated
that the accused is promiscuous

I don't wish to deny
the court's decision

It's my appeal that the court
which is based on law proof

should not consider that this
is just a matter of 2-3 lives

it should keep in view that
this case is mainly connected

to the evils of the society
which has tainted us

My lord, this case is connected
to a very serious question

wherein, Gandhiji laid down
his life for this cause

on other hand there are cases
which can put people to shame

I am sure that the court
is aware of these facts

After this, I'd like to present
few witnesses once again

The witnesses have already
given their statement

The witnesses have said only
what my friend wished to hear

I'd like to throw some
more light on this case

You have the permission

My first witness is Bansilal

Bansi, what compelled you to
arrange your sister's marriage?

My council pressurized me

And who pressurized
your council?

The council of the rich men
who rule the village

And why were you pressurized?

Because, you are a Thakur and
wanted to marry an untouchable

Did Shallo give
her consent because of

your helplessness and
the council's pressure?

- No - Then who pressurized
Shallo for marriage?

Answer me, who pressurized
Shallo for marriage?

Answer my question, Bansi

Your mother

My lord, my sister is innocent,
she is not the murderer

they're the ones who forced
me to get my sister married

They threatened to burn down
our houses which they later did

My lord, you please do justice,
don't punish my sister anymore

She is innocent,
she did not kill anyone

I plead to you to
confer justice, my lord

My next witness is
Mrs Rukmini Devi

You want your mother to
stand in the witness box?

I am just a lawyer here

I'll tell the truth,
nothing else but, the truth

What did you tell Shallo and
convince her to get married?

I asked her for
my daughter's happiness

By ruining another girl's life?

That is not true I did not
want any harm to fall upon her

I just wanted to see
my daughter settled

And did you succeed?

Tell me, were you able to grant
that happiness to your daughter?

You are the main culprit
in this case

Keeping in mind your family's
name and class distinction

you have not only pushed an
innocent girl towards death

but, your own daughter is
in this court as a widow

My next witness
is Mrs Tulsidevi

Mrs Tulsidevi, sorry to hear
about your son's death

You are not sorry Things
have become easier for you now

You have killed my son now take
this evil woman along with you

Answer what you are asked

The atrocities of the society
that were mete on your son

were coerced on your
daughter in law too

How can you call this unchaste
woman my daughter in law?

This wretched woman
has killed my son

Why did you ask your son and
his wife to leave the house?

You are asking me
why I asked them to leave?

She came to my house with the
price of her lost honor

I asked her to leave because,
she was your mistress

I asked her to leave because,
she would ruin my son

And that's what she did

This is a false and
a baseless accusation, my lord

Shallo is chaste and pure

To prove it, I'd like to show
these medical certificates

Please include them in
the list of evidences

My next witness is the watchman
of the bungalow, Kamal Singh

What did you see on that
night at the scene of crime?

Master asked me to call Ramu

Master offered Ramu alcohol
and gave him money

and expressed the desire of
spending a night with his wife

Due to this, there was a
fight between both of them

Ramu was injured
and he fell down

and I ran to call the Madam

- Where was Shallo at that
time? - In the next room

My next witness
is Mrs Radha Devi

What did you see when you
reached the scene of crime?

I could hear Shallds
screams from the room

I saw my husband and Ramu's
bodies when the door opened

Shallds hands were
covered in blood

Can you throw some light
on your husband's character?

I know it is very difficult
to answer this question

but, it is very necessary for
the court to get the answer

My husband was an alcoholic
and a debauch man

He had no respect for women

His parents got him
married thinking

that he may reform
after marriage

But, it is my bad luck
that it could not happen

Shallo had no other way
to save her honor

Under those circumstances,
any respectable girl

would have done exactly
what Shallo did

After the doctor's reports and
the statement of witnesses

and most important,
the testimony of Surafs wife

it is crystal clear that
the accused is not guilty

Her only fault is that inspite
of all this happening

and inspite of being weak,
she fought the Thakur's lust

and did not surrender
in front of him

Her only fault is that like
any other true Indian woman

her honor and chastity was much
more dear to her than her life

Her only fault is that
she did not let

the hypocritical society
trade her love and honor

My lord, this woman's
greatest fault is that

she was born in a poor and
an untouchable family

whose respect is considered a
plaything, amidst the rich

If this is her fault then she
surely deserves to be hung

On the basis of evidence, proof
and statements presented

the court has concluded that

Shaflo Devi has murdered
Thakur Suva; Pramap Singh

But it was not with the
intention of killing him

After seeing the dead body
of her husband,

and saving her life,
the accused had no other option

The court certifies that Shallo
has unblemished character

and acquits her from the
accusation of this murder

It warns the people
that in such cases

all the other aspects of the
society should be considered

Congratulations, Mr Chander

In this world of hatred

we have to build
a world of love

You will not achieve anything
if you stay away

'you can change everything
if you come closer
