The entire lndian subcontinent
is ruled by...
1
00:04:04,509 --> 00:04:06,704
a company. The British East lndia Company
1
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:11,848
The most successful business enterprise
in history
1
00:04:12,985 --> 00:04:17,115
The Company has its own laws,
its own administration
1
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:19,558
lts own army
1
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:26,622

Sepoy, 34th Regiment,
Native lnfantry at Barrackpore
1
00:05:52,617 --> 00:05:55,108
You have been found guilty of
mutiny and conspiracy...
1
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,882
to overthrow the government of the
Honourable East lndia Company,
1
00:05:59,158 --> 00:06:00,682
by a duly constituted court martial
1
00:06:01,593 --> 00:06:06,553
You have been sentenced to death
1
00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:14,236
Well come on, hurry up
1
00:06:16,041 --> 00:06:19,637
Mangal Pandey, do you have a last wish ?
1
00:06:23,615 --> 00:06:25,981
You cannot grant my last wish
1
00:06:27,786 --> 00:06:29,549
Yet it will be fulfilled
1
00:06:31,357 --> 00:06:32,517
Time's up. Hang him
1
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,920
Sir, the hangman...
1
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,394
he ran away
1
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:45,134
Yes sir, he refused to hang
Mangal Pandey
1
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:49,907
We tried to persuade him, threaten him
but... but he ran away, sir
1
00:06:50,442 --> 00:06:51,740
Christ ! This is nonsense
1
00:06:52,077 --> 00:06:53,375
You... you hang him
1
00:06:56,115 --> 00:06:57,412
That's not my duty, sir
1
00:06:57,983 --> 00:07:00,850
Damn your duty, it's an order !
Move !
1
00:07:04,723 --> 00:07:08,216
l'm a Brahmin, sir. lt's against my faith
1
00:07:09,928 --> 00:07:12,658
Send a message to Calcutta and
get another hangman
1
00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:15,095
Until then, take him down
1
00:07:17,136 --> 00:07:18,034
Take him down
1
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:59,000
The Earth will be scorched
1
00:07:59,211 --> 00:08:01,543
Rivers of blood will flow
1
00:08:01,913 --> 00:08:03,778
Millions will die
1
00:08:05,016 --> 00:08:07,281
And l, William Gordon...
1
00:08:08,053 --> 00:08:12,012

00:08:18,564 --> 00:08:21,931
4 Years earlier,

You did well, Captain
1
00:10:52,884 --> 00:10:55,318
The Afghans are on the run
and we hold the pass
1
00:10:59,658 --> 00:11:01,285
Pandey...
1
00:11:04,663 --> 00:11:06,461
Gordon sir... no
1
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:08,057
Let him be
1
00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:13,530
Captain Gordon
1
00:11:24,182 --> 00:11:26,742
William, are you all right ?
1
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,375
No don't... lie down
1
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,551

1
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:11,196
l want you to have my pistol
1
00:12:13,264 --> 00:12:15,028
l've got nothing else to give you
1
00:12:17,802 --> 00:12:18,269
Please
1
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:18,937
Take it

New Year celebrations at
the Governor General's palace
1
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,455
Who's that ?
1
00:13:11,823 --> 00:13:16,283
Lord Canning... Governor General.
- Not him, you fool
1
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:19,325
l mean, the chap next to him
1
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:22,365
Mr Lockwood, the Company auditor...
1
00:13:22,567 --> 00:13:26,129
sent by London to investigate all the
monkey business going on in the Company
1
00:13:26,905 --> 00:13:28,998
And next to him is Mr Kent
1
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:32,202
Bigtime trader
1
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:36,177
Some of the top Company officers
are on his payroll
1
00:13:46,057 --> 00:13:49,117
My lords, ladies, and gentlemen...
1
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,191
pray silence for...
1
00:13:50,395 --> 00:13:52,522
His Excellency Lord Canning...
1
00:13:52,898 --> 00:13:54,798
Governor General of lndia
1
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:02,434
My lords, ladies and gentlemen...
1
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:07,237
as a servant of the
Honourable East lndia Company...
1
00:14:07,745 --> 00:14:10,179
that has ruled the territories of Hindoostan...
1
00:14:10,381 --> 00:14:11,848
for a hundred years...
1
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:17,287
l must profess pride and an equal humility
1
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:19,990
lt is my privilege to recall...
1
00:14:20,458 --> 00:14:23,985
that our forebears came
to these territories as traders
1
00:14:24,429 --> 00:14:27,330
And we now find ourselves,
by the will of God...
1
00:14:27,866 --> 00:14:33,805
masters of the entire lndian subcontinent
from Khyber to Comorin
1
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:37,340
What did he say ?
1
00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:40,170
The Company Raj completes
100 years in lndia
1
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:41,812
From traders they became rulers
1
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,616
My god ! What is she wearing ?
1
00:14:53,057 --> 00:14:58,018
And we bring to lndia the benefits
of modern governance...
1
00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:00,822
scientific progress, and, above all...
1
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:02,697
justice
1
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:06,998
Has he mentioned the Queen yet ?
- No. He says they're doing us a favor
1
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:12,438
We have earned the love and
gratitude of the people of lndia
1
00:15:12,878 --> 00:15:17,474
And we shoulder the burden of the
white man without complaint
1
00:15:17,682 --> 00:15:19,149
Now...? - No
1
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:21,784

grateful to them !

Now l call upon you to join with me

00:15:34,198 --> 00:15:37,964
Looking like a nautch girl!
- Do l look like a real nautch girl ?
1
00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:40,798
Captain Hewson, you must know
1
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,839
l am unfamiliar with the detail of the
attire of dancing girls
1
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:51,274
Ms Kent, the costume is perfect
1
00:15:51,649 --> 00:15:53,583
Any nautch girl in lndia would
blush with envy
1
00:15:53,785 --> 00:15:56,379
You keep the company of nautch girls,
Captain Gordon ?
1
00:15:56,587 --> 00:15:58,555
l pursue beauty wherever l can find it

00:15:59,191 --> 00:15:59,850

The Queen... to the Queen
1
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:11,258
Oh ! So sorry !
1
00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:12,504
You black bastard
1
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:14,470
What the hell are you upto ?
1
00:16:28,953 --> 00:16:30,250
Sir, sorry sir. Please...
1
00:16:30,621 --> 00:16:32,317
You, lift him
1
00:16:32,857 --> 00:16:34,051
Hewson, that's enough
1
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:40,330
l'll teach you to touch a
white woman you black dog !
1
00:16:40,698 --> 00:16:42,188
Forgive me sir, it was an accident
1
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:49,466
Enough sahib
1
00:16:52,644 --> 00:16:53,302
Enough
1
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:55,976
The black dog will die
1
00:17:03,455 --> 00:17:06,480
Miss Kent... on behalf of...
- lt's not to me that you owe the apology
1
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:07,556
Come inside
1
00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:45,152
Pull the fan
1
00:17:46,164 --> 00:17:47,722
Faster
1
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:50,199
Harder, damn you
1
00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:56,570
Kamla !
1
00:18:11,089 --> 00:18:15,617
Oh god, one push into her paradise...
1
00:18:16,461 --> 00:18:19,953
and l'll pull your fan in hell forever
1
00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:29,035
The quartermaster showed
Gordon the new Enfield rifle...
1
00:18:29,641 --> 00:18:32,269
that the Company was going
to introduce in lndia
1
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:33,607
Absolute beauties...
1
00:18:33,945 --> 00:18:35,344
And speaking of beauties...
1
00:18:35,646 --> 00:18:39,048
l saw you appreciating
Ms.Kent in a sari
1
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,253
Me... On the Company's pay?
1
00:18:42,587 --> 00:18:43,918
Ah! But Kent is filthy rich
1
00:18:44,856 --> 00:18:50,692
Vultures and merchants of arms.
The only ones to profit from wars, yes!
1
00:18:58,170 --> 00:19:02,197
Amazing ! The Company has connected
the entire country through wires
1
00:19:02,540 --> 00:19:04,509
ln a blink of an eyelid messages travel
from Calcutta to Delhi
1
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:07,008
Nonsense ! lmpossible !
1
00:19:07,211 --> 00:19:11,011
lt's got to be true ! lt's in the newspaper !
1
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:14,013
But how can messages get into wires ?
1
00:19:14,385 --> 00:19:18,446
l'll tell you. Easy ! These whites have
mastered black magic
1
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:22,225
Yeah ! Must've used a witch's hair
1
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:25,659
Yes and it's got an odd name too
... taelly - garaffe
1
00:19:25,897 --> 00:19:28,195
What ? Wow ! That sounds scary
1
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,667
You bet your ass ! We're all

1
00:19:38,509 --> 00:19:40,033
Coming... coming...
1
00:19:41,913 --> 00:19:45,713

Here we are, l know you're hungry
1
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:03,326
You're dry
1
00:20:04,435 --> 00:20:06,461
That white woman's baby
has sucked you dry
1
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:08,566
What's left for him ?
1
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:16,407
Here, use this on your nipple,
it'll make him sleep
1
00:20:17,281 --> 00:20:19,250
Don't you dare give opium to my baby
1
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:26,918
Hey, hey my baby, my love,
why are you crying ?
1
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:29,251
Why are you crying?
1
00:20:30,127 --> 00:20:31,595
Hush now, aren't you the son of a warrior ?
1
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:35,498
Why is he always crying ?
1
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:37,768
No nothing, it's just colic
1
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:40,768
Come on Veeru, we're late for the pit
1
00:20:40,972 --> 00:20:42,098
Coming, coming
1
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:45,436
Come on, get him !

00:21:05,329 --> 00:21:10,289
Scissor-throw ! Give him the

00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:17,141
Where's Mangal ? - ln the wrestling pit, sir
1
00:21:31,522 --> 00:21:32,648

against a black man ?
1
00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:54,007
Uh-oh, he's had it now !
1
00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:03,017
Bravo Captain sahib, way to go !
1
00:22:03,221 --> 00:22:07,520
Come on Mangal, don't spare him !
1
00:22:22,406 --> 00:22:23,703
Why didn't you come today ?

00:22:26,577 --> 00:22:27,202
Tell me
1
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:29,710
l was angry
1
00:22:36,253 --> 00:22:37,221
Angry ? Why ?
1
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:39,554
Hewson was killing that man...
1
00:22:41,926 --> 00:22:43,052
and you did nothing
1
00:22:46,597 --> 00:22:51,899
What was l supposed to do ? Stand between
a fellow officer and a...
1
00:22:55,606 --> 00:22:57,233
And a black dog !
1
00:22:57,442 --> 00:22:59,068
Say it ... say it !
1
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:06,309
You don't understand
1
00:23:07,451 --> 00:23:09,420
l've spent half my life here,
the best part of my life !
1
00:23:09,621 --> 00:23:12,249
What have l got to go back to ?
1
00:23:12,457 --> 00:23:13,685
You still did nothing
1
00:23:21,298 --> 00:23:24,927
You're right, l should've stopped him
from whipping any black dog
1
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,267
l'm sorry, all right ?
1
00:23:29,807 --> 00:23:30,432
All right ?
1
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:33,774
Now... are you still angry
with me huh ? Huh ?
1
00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,105
All right, no... no
1
00:23:35,713 --> 00:23:38,615
l'm beaten. You're forgiven
1
00:23:47,159 --> 00:23:53,120
Bhang, my friend, elixir of the gods,
is Lord Shiva's favoured potion
1
00:23:54,665 --> 00:24:02,299
Come on Mangal, have some bhang,
liven your spirits
1
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:06,967
Want to have some bhang, sahib ?
- Er... bhang ? Doesn't it, you know...
1
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,977
Don't worry, it doesn't bite or scold.
lt's like a good mother
1
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:12,809
Strokes you, sings you lullabies
tells you stories...
1
00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:16,646
and kisses you to sleep.
- Well, l'll have to try some of that
1
00:24:17,021 --> 00:24:18,990
Because my mother certainly
never did any of that
1
00:24:26,198 --> 00:24:33,229
Easy sahib, easy. You don't want two
stepmothers quarrelling in your head
1
00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:40,504
Ration and roti, the Company's pay
1
00:24:40,711 --> 00:24:43,839
Give us your life for a shilling a day
1
00:24:44,048 --> 00:24:46,846
Shilling a day boys, a shilling a day
1
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,919
While the boom of the cannon
may blow you away !
1
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:24,712
Mangal... that's Hewson's horse
1
00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:25,548
Come on
1
00:26:13,637 --> 00:26:17,096
Bastards ! Which bastard did this ?
1
00:26:58,682 --> 00:27:00,651
My silly heart can't contain its
excitement...
1
00:27:00,852 --> 00:27:04,811
when everything gets going for
a nobody like me
1
00:27:05,022 --> 00:27:06,819
May Lord Ram bless you, Mangal
1
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:07,821
Ram - Ram
1
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:13,330
AsSalaamu Alaykum Mirza sahib.
-- Ram - Ram, Mangal
1
00:27:13,530 --> 00:27:14,656
All well ?
1
00:27:15,032 --> 00:27:19,163
Oye ! You cockeyed fool !
Can't you see ?
1
00:27:19,371 --> 00:27:23,330
A twisted rope is strongest,
a twisted eyesight, deepest
1
00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:26,168
Don't touch me, you scoundrel.
You want to defile a Brahmin ?
1
00:27:26,377 --> 00:27:30,177
Come on, we're all untouchables now.
The Company reigns. All trash is equal
1
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:33,351
Mind your tongue, you dog.
- Dog ? Me ?
1
00:27:33,718 --> 00:27:36,516
Who barks to guard the Company's loot ?
You or me ?
1
00:27:36,721 --> 00:27:38,347
Oh ! You deserve a thrashing, wait
1
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:41,855
And who wags his tail for the white man ?
You or me ?
1
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:45,025
And who's going to bite the new
cartridge dipped in animal fat ?
1
00:27:45,462 --> 00:27:48,864
Animal fat ? - Yes. Cow and pig fat
1
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:50,864
That's used to grease the new cartridge
1
00:27:51,568 --> 00:27:57,701
lnto the mouth... bite... fire ... boom !
Go straight to hell
1
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:02,540
Boom goes your faith, boom
goes your honour
1
00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:04,171
Shut up, liar !
1
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:16,559
Silence
1
00:28:19,096 --> 00:28:20,394
This is no fish market
1
00:28:20,932 --> 00:28:22,160
Let one man speak
1
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:28,571
Mangal Pandey. Sepoy, 5th Company.
34th Native lnfantry Regiment
1
00:28:28,772 --> 00:28:30,399
34th eh ? At ease
1
00:28:30,942 --> 00:28:31,635
What is it ?
1
00:28:32,609 --> 00:28:35,407
Sir, we hear that the cartridge of
the new rifle is greased...
1
00:28:35,779 --> 00:28:39,238
and must be bitten before loading.
- And what of it ?
1
00:28:39,683 --> 00:28:43,175
Sir, the grease coating is
made of cow and pig fat
1
00:28:43,954 --> 00:28:47,253
The cow is sacred to the Hindus,
the pig forbidden to the Muslims
1
00:28:48,125 --> 00:28:51,424
We can't touch such a cartridge.
lt is sacrilege
1
00:28:51,628 --> 00:28:52,925
Who is spreading this rot ?
1
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:55,593
The news is all over, sir
1
00:28:56,134 --> 00:28:58,761
Nonsense ! No truth to it, my man
1
00:28:59,136 --> 00:29:02,799
Hasn't the Company always
cared for you ?
1
00:29:05,309 --> 00:29:10,373
Now don't worry and go home.
Some mischief-monger is misleading you
1
00:29:10,815 --> 00:29:15,615
There is no such cartridge.
There will be no such cartridge
1
00:29:18,155 --> 00:29:19,019
Dismissed
1
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:23,624

at a throwaway price
1
00:31:06,597 --> 00:31:08,394
Buy yourself a slave...
1
00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:12,399
Look at this beauty, check out
her curves
1
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:14,071
Slave or servant...
1
00:31:14,271 --> 00:31:15,568
wife or whore...
1
00:31:15,772 --> 00:31:17,399

00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:25,082
Fifteen
1
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:35,423
Emily was surprised that though slavery
was abolished in Britain...
1
00:31:35,626 --> 00:31:38,528
the Company allowed it in lndia.
1
00:31:38,796 --> 00:31:42,596
Gordon explained that the Company
itself bought these girls...
1
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:46,599
for the pleasure of white soldiers lt helped
prevent the spread of disease in the army
1
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:47,930
l have a gem here
1
00:31:48,138 --> 00:31:50,265
Let me show you
1
00:31:50,474 --> 00:31:52,339
Hands off, you pimp !
1
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:55,445
Bloody bitch !
1
00:31:58,316 --> 00:32:00,784
Don't mess with me
1
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,617
She's a spirited mare eh ?
1
00:32:04,821 --> 00:32:08,450
Just waiting to be reined in
1
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,788
So who's going to be the lucky man ?
Come on, let's hear it
1
00:32:11,996 --> 00:32:12,792
Sixty Rupees
1
00:32:13,131 --> 00:32:14,063
l think l've seen enough
1
00:32:16,166 --> 00:32:18,464
Seventy
1
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:19,637
Eighty Rupees
1
00:32:19,836 --> 00:32:21,304
That's better, eighty
1
00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:22,700
Anyone else ?
1
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:30,038
Quick ! Or this meat will go to the whites
and you'll be left ogling
1
00:32:31,015 --> 00:32:34,143
Wow, what eyes...
1
00:32:34,352 --> 00:32:37,719
the entire Company Raj could
drown in them
1
00:32:38,855 --> 00:32:40,323
What's your name ?
1
00:32:42,192 --> 00:32:45,162
Come on stand up... up
1
00:32:45,363 --> 00:32:46,921
Let's get a look at you
1
00:32:49,534 --> 00:32:50,660
Turn around
1
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,506
Packaging seems all right
1
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,509
All right?! By God she's a gem,
a real diamond
1
00:33:03,213 --> 00:33:06,182
Okay then, let's call her that.
Heera (Diamond)
1
00:33:06,550 --> 00:33:08,609
But she needs polishing
1
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:13,615
Get one thing straight, girl,
l am Lol Bibi
1
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:17,087
And l'm the boss here
1
00:33:17,394 --> 00:33:22,195
Many trinkets like you decorate my shoes.
Got that ?
1
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,034
And one more thing...
1
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:28,862
this is a pleasure house
exclusively for the whites
1
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,366
You'll have to work very hard
1
00:33:31,576 --> 00:33:38,345
Men aren't easy to please,
no matter what their colour
1
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:42,211
That's true ! Ask me, l have suffered
all the various shades !
1
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:54,554
One of the Company's biggest trades
was that of opium.
1
00:33:55,599 --> 00:34:01,731
lt forced lndian farmers to grow it,
bought it from them at a pittance...
1
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:05,466
and sold it in China at a profit.
1
00:34:06,109 --> 00:34:08,237
When the Chinese Emperor resisted...
1
00:34:08,445 --> 00:34:11,243
the Company waged a war against him.
1
00:34:12,115 --> 00:34:15,244
To fight and die, lndian sepoys
were there after all.
1
00:34:15,786 --> 00:34:18,414
And they called it the Free Market.
1
00:34:18,789 --> 00:34:21,121
Captain Gordan,
You were meant to be singing too...
1
00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:23,624
l'm afraid l'm unfamiliar with the song.
1
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:26,389
Not know it ?
What are you, some sort of a pagan ?
1
00:34:27,264 --> 00:34:29,596
Didn't they thrash it
into you in school ?
1
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:31,063
No sir.
1
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:33,097
They should've.
Which school did you attend ?
1
00:34:33,237 --> 00:34:35,797
Let me guess,
it wasn't Marlborough or Rugby ?
1
00:34:36,807 --> 00:34:42,041
No sir, my family are Catholics,
from Glasgow. l went to parish school
1
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:46,673
A papist ! Come to think of it,
l haven't seen you at church.
1
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,546
l must have imagined you were
with your famous nautch girls.
1
00:34:55,492 --> 00:34:59,554
Aren't they beautiful ?
l picked them on our ride this evening
1
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:03,631
Ah, you must have ridden out
in the direction of Kashigunj ?
1
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:07,635
Yes, l was astounded.
Acres of bright red poppies
1
00:35:08,438 --> 00:35:10,668
Are they part of some religious ritual ?
1
00:35:10,974 --> 00:35:12,498
No, no. lt's Company land.
1
00:35:12,943 --> 00:35:14,934
Why does the Company grow poppies ?
1
00:35:18,682 --> 00:35:21,311
The poppy, Miss Kent
is the sole source of opium
1
00:35:21,985 --> 00:35:25,648
The Honourable East lndia Company
forces lndian farmers to grow them
1
00:35:26,556 --> 00:35:30,356
Opium ?
- lndeed. Most of it is bought up...
1
00:35:30,561 --> 00:35:33,655
by the Company at prices fixed by them.
And then shipped to China...
1
00:35:33,797 --> 00:35:36,391
to help turn an entire nation
into opium addicts
1
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:37,726
But why ?
1
00:35:38,402 --> 00:35:39,960
lt's the only thing
we can sell the Chinese...
1
00:35:40,137 --> 00:35:43,163
in return for the tea and silks
that we Europeans are addicted to
1
00:35:43,373 --> 00:35:46,672
l think Gordon, the ladies
ought to be spared this lecture
1
00:35:49,045 --> 00:35:53,175
But the Chinese Emperor resists,
he no longer wants to trade in opium
1
00:35:53,617 --> 00:35:56,347
So the company decides to
wage a war against him
1
00:35:56,621 --> 00:36:00,352
And in this war it wants
lndian sepoys to fight and die
1
00:36:03,894 --> 00:36:05,021
The circle is complete...
1
00:36:06,530 --> 00:36:08,020
and we call it the free market
1
00:36:11,601 --> 00:36:13,762
You abuse my hospitality
1
00:36:14,905 --> 00:36:17,373
lf l have spoken out of turn sir,
l apologise
1
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,909
After all l'm just a common soldier
1
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:24,907
lt's a subject
you'd know more about than l
1
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:34,717
When Kent humiliated Gordon about his
humble beginnings...
1
00:36:35,092 --> 00:36:37,617
Gordon couldn't stand for it.
1
00:36:38,028 --> 00:36:42,398
William... l'm so sorry
- Emily, there's no need
1
00:36:49,773 --> 00:36:57,646
Gordon liked Emily, but realized that
he did not belong in this elite circle.
1
00:36:58,782 --> 00:37:02,980
When traders become rulers then
the common man pays the price
1
00:37:06,623 --> 00:37:10,252
But now Nana Saheb will make
the Company pay
1
00:37:10,460 --> 00:37:12,257
Really ? How ?
1
00:37:12,463 --> 00:37:15,591
His minister, Azimullah, has returned from
England with Queen Victoria's letter...
1
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,260
which clearly states that Nana Saheb is
right and the Company is wrong
1
00:37:20,471 --> 00:37:26,103
Futile. Nana Saheb has only a letter
while the Company has guns
1
00:37:26,309 --> 00:37:29,938
But sir, the gun is a treacherous lover,
1
00:37:30,146 --> 00:37:32,944
there's no telling whom she'll set
her sights upon !
1
00:37:52,335 --> 00:37:53,131
What's up ?
1
00:37:58,342 --> 00:37:59,639
What the bloody hell is going on ?
1
00:37:59,844 --> 00:38:02,903
Broken axle, sir. Two boxes of cartridges
have fallen down
1
00:38:24,534 --> 00:38:26,263
The new Enfield...
1
00:38:27,038 --> 00:38:30,405
is the best rifle in the world
1
00:38:32,208 --> 00:38:37,669
lt will feel no different to your musket
1
00:38:38,382 --> 00:38:39,849
A bit lighter
1
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:47,422
Accurate to a thousand yards,
1
00:38:48,059 --> 00:38:51,756
five times the range of your
old Brown Bess
1
00:38:52,228 --> 00:38:59,634
And now, the new cartridge.
lt consists of gunpowder and a lead
1
00:39:01,237 --> 00:39:05,435
You pick up the cartridge and
bite the end off, like so
1
00:39:10,414 --> 00:39:13,110
You pour the gunpowder in,
1
00:39:14,918 --> 00:39:16,886
followed by the lead
1
00:39:17,588 --> 00:39:18,885
And then...
1
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:21,650
you ram the Johnny down.
Ram it down, tight
1
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:24,318
Then you're ready to fire
1
00:39:31,601 --> 00:39:33,899
You... try
1
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:35,670
You... and you
1
00:39:38,943 --> 00:39:40,911
Come on lads, look lively
1
00:39:43,614 --> 00:39:47,072
Come on, it won't bark back
1
00:39:48,952 --> 00:39:50,750
Corporal...
1
00:39:50,954 --> 00:39:52,751
Yes sir ? - What is the matter ?
1
00:39:52,956 --> 00:39:56,085
The grease, sir. We cannot put
the grease in our mouth
1
00:39:56,293 --> 00:40:00,251
Then where will you put it, man ?
Come on, be sensible
1
00:40:09,806 --> 00:40:10,830
What's the matter, Captain ?
1
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:11,702
lt's the cartridges, sir.
1
00:40:12,208 --> 00:40:14,870
The sepoys say they saw dogs
licking grease off them in the bazaar
1
00:40:14,978 --> 00:40:15,774
They saw what ?
1
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,907
Dogs, licking the new cartridges
1
00:40:18,382 --> 00:40:21,282
The men believe they've been greased
with the fat of pigs and cows, sir
1
00:40:21,684 --> 00:40:22,616
And are they ?
1
00:40:22,887 --> 00:40:25,287
The Company's supplier, sir.
l checked with him. And he assured me...
1
00:40:25,422 --> 00:40:26,616
there was no truth to it
1
00:40:26,990 --> 00:40:29,788
There you are, Captain White man's word.
Knock the superstition out of them
1
00:40:30,059 --> 00:40:32,824
Still sir, shouldn't we be careful ?
- You heard me, Captain
1
00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:37,057
The Quartermaster claimed that
the cartridges were clean.
1
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:40,629
A white man's word was good
enough for the general.
1
00:40:41,005 --> 00:40:47,535
He ordered Gordon to set
the soldiers' fears to rest.
1
00:40:51,347 --> 00:40:57,217
The Company respects all religions
and will never break faith
1
00:40:59,023 --> 00:41:04,825
And l, as an officer of the Company
give you my word...
1
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:09,662
that this cartridge is greased with
neither the fat of pigs or cows
1
00:41:12,202 --> 00:41:18,438
Will a loyal sepoy please step forward
and volunteer to fire the gun.
1
00:42:31,782 --> 00:42:34,579
What am l supposed to tell him now ?
He has already done what he had to
1
00:42:34,784 --> 00:42:36,251
We can't let this pass.
We must confront him with this
1
00:42:36,452 --> 00:42:40,253
You think he'll listen to us ?
- Here he comes. Talk to him
1
00:42:40,456 --> 00:42:43,755
Aye Mangal, why did you
bite the bullet ?
1
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,919
You're an outcaste now.
You'll pay for it.
1
00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:50,760
Just because you speak a little English,
you think you're a bloody white man ?
1
00:42:50,967 --> 00:42:52,935
Now because of you,
they'll force us as well
1
00:42:53,137 --> 00:42:54,331
Shut your miserable mouths
1
00:42:55,472 --> 00:43:00,273
Gordon sahib said they're clean.
That's enough for me.
1
00:43:00,476 --> 00:43:02,205
And what if Gordon sahib is lying ?
1
00:43:03,146 --> 00:43:04,943
Gordon sahib will never lie to me
1
00:43:05,148 --> 00:43:09,210
That's fine, but what if the cartridge-story
turns out to be true ?
1
00:43:11,487 --> 00:43:13,455
Then l'll burn the company down
1
00:43:14,657 --> 00:43:15,351
Now scram !
1
00:43:16,327 --> 00:43:18,352
There. Look at that attitude
1
00:43:34,844 --> 00:43:36,368
Gordon sahib, Will you tell me something?
1
00:43:36,914 --> 00:43:40,179
Yes, Why not?
1
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,811
What is the Company?
1
00:43:45,188 --> 00:43:46,382
Why do you ask ?
1
00:43:47,690 --> 00:43:48,918
l need to know
1
00:43:49,693 --> 00:43:50,591
Company...?
1
00:43:53,364 --> 00:44:00,998
A Company is an entity created entirely
for the purpose of making a profit
1
00:44:01,871 --> 00:44:04,500
And what does it do ?
- What does it do !
1
00:44:05,041 --> 00:44:10,001
Well it buys and sells, anything.
lndigo, spices, opium
1
00:44:10,213 --> 00:44:13,411
Love, honour, truth... anything
1
00:44:14,385 --> 00:44:22,520
Yes but... who is the Company ?
1
00:44:30,067 --> 00:44:31,625
ln your story of the Ramayan...
1
00:44:32,235 --> 00:44:36,536
you have a character Ravana.
The chap with ten heads, right ?
1
00:44:39,242 --> 00:44:43,110
Well, the Company has thousands of heads...
1
00:44:43,579 --> 00:44:48,539
all stuck together with the glue of greed.
You understand ?
1
00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:02,329
Hey, is that a Sati ?
1
00:45:02,766 --> 00:45:03,460
Come on
1
00:45:04,768 --> 00:45:07,793
Gordon sahib, l don't think we should.
- Come on, it's a Sati !
1
00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:14,836
Glory to woman who accompanies
her husband in death
1
00:45:15,045 --> 00:45:15,875
Glory be !
1
00:45:50,981 --> 00:45:51,948
Stop this
1
00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:59,182
l said, stop this immediately !
1
00:45:59,655 --> 00:46:00,451
Come here, come along
1
00:46:02,992 --> 00:46:06,451
Sahib, you better leave.
These are sacred ceremonies
1
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:10,963
But Sati has been banned.
Burning a widow is a crime
1
00:46:11,168 --> 00:46:15,126
Captain sahib, don't interfere.
You're tampering with our ancient customs
1
00:46:15,338 --> 00:46:18,467
And you're tampering with my ancient custom.
l don't stand by and watch murder
1
00:46:18,675 --> 00:46:22,133
Return the woman.
Or you'll regret it
1
00:46:22,346 --> 00:46:24,974
You'll have to kill me first !
1
00:46:27,184 --> 00:46:28,082
Come on !
1
00:46:28,284 --> 00:46:30,650
Get him !
1
00:46:31,355 --> 00:46:33,983
Lynch him
1
00:46:42,032 --> 00:46:46,559
Anybody who dares touch
the sahib is a dead man
1
00:46:55,878 --> 00:46:59,679
Sahib, save the girl !
l'll deal with these bastards
1
00:47:02,219 --> 00:47:03,846
Go sahib... go... go
1
00:47:33,583 --> 00:47:36,552
Oh God ! A Sati !
But she is alive !
1
00:47:36,753 --> 00:47:38,550
You're damn right she is !
1
00:47:38,755 --> 00:47:41,383
But they will come for her !
lt's a question of their honour
1
00:47:41,592 --> 00:47:46,494
Return her, sahib !
- No one will touch her !
1
00:47:46,762 --> 00:47:48,286
That's the law
1
00:47:59,443 --> 00:48:01,307
What are we going to do
with her, Mangal ?
1
00:48:02,211 --> 00:48:06,581
Her relatives will surely kill her.
She has nowhere to go
1
00:48:31,407 --> 00:48:32,396
Come out
1
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:34,639
Don't be afraid
1
00:48:36,146 --> 00:48:38,171
You're safe here
1
00:48:39,315 --> 00:48:40,782
No one will touch you
1
00:48:42,085 --> 00:48:42,847
Come
1
00:49:38,708 --> 00:49:40,903
How are you feeling ?
Did you sleep ?
1
00:49:44,146 --> 00:49:45,842
What's your name ?
1
00:49:50,686 --> 00:49:54,087
l am going to work but don't worry...
1
00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:57,783
l have posted guards.
You'll be safe
1
00:49:57,994 --> 00:50:00,019
They will come... for me
1
00:50:00,963 --> 00:50:01,520
Who ?
1
00:50:02,565 --> 00:50:03,554
Relatives
1
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:08,934
My husband was a powerful man,
lord of a hundred villages
1
00:50:10,340 --> 00:50:15,800
l'm sorry you lost him.
Any children ?
1
00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:22,447
No, he was very old.
Sixty, when he married me
1
00:50:23,253 --> 00:50:24,981
He had grown-up children
1
00:50:26,255 --> 00:50:27,745
He was very sick
1
00:50:28,425 --> 00:50:31,222
Sahib the village chieftain
has come to meet you
1
00:50:31,427 --> 00:50:32,759
He says it's important
1
00:50:33,530 --> 00:50:35,998
Go in... and don't worry
1
00:50:41,704 --> 00:50:47,074
Sahib, don't play with our honour
1
00:50:47,277 --> 00:50:48,244
What do you mean ?
1
00:50:49,545 --> 00:50:52,810
Return the woman to us
1
00:50:53,182 --> 00:50:55,275
What ? So that you can kill her ?
1
00:50:56,786 --> 00:50:58,651
That is her destiny
1
00:50:58,855 --> 00:51:01,688
Not anymore
1
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:05,927
Don't involve yourself in matters
you don't understand
1
00:51:06,228 --> 00:51:07,923
That will not be good for you
1
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:14,698
Are you threatening an officer of
the East lndia Company ?
1
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:18,202
You listen to me !
1
00:51:18,407 --> 00:51:19,601
You so much as set foot into
the Cantonment again,
1
00:51:19,809 --> 00:51:21,744
and l will shoot you !
You understand me ?
1
00:51:21,978 --> 00:51:23,842
Do you understand me ?
1
00:51:25,315 --> 00:51:26,304
Now get out
1
00:51:31,054 --> 00:51:34,751
ln the course of his investigations
into corruption in the Company...
1
00:51:34,990 --> 00:51:39,724
Lockwood raided the godown of
a Parsee merchant, Sorabjee.
1
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:40,855
Search the place
1
00:51:41,063 --> 00:51:42,291
There is no need for all that, Sir
1
00:51:42,498 --> 00:51:44,022
Search it. - lt is all legitimate
1
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:52,531
The search uncovered
stocks of opium.
1
00:51:52,742 --> 00:51:54,175
Sir, look at this
1
00:51:56,780 --> 00:51:59,577
Seal the stock, arrest this man.
- Sergeant-major...
1
00:51:59,782 --> 00:52:02,444
Mr Lockwood, you are a man
of high powers
1
00:52:02,686 --> 00:52:04,278
But you've been here only
a few days, sir
1
00:52:04,487 --> 00:52:07,422
You must try to understand
- Mr Sorabji you are aware...
1
00:52:07,623 --> 00:52:10,421
that The East lndia Company has
a monopoly on the opium trade
1
00:52:10,626 --> 00:52:13,925
lt is obvious, you have been indulging
in your own private dealings
1
00:52:14,130 --> 00:52:17,692
Mr Lockwood, l am acquainted
with you British...
1
00:52:17,900 --> 00:52:21,063
and l have had dealings for years
with the Company officials
1
00:52:21,804 --> 00:52:25,240
l will be very proud to make you
part of our arrangements
1
00:52:25,407 --> 00:52:27,807
Are you offering to bribe me,
you blackguard !
1
00:52:28,177 --> 00:52:31,442
Sir, l have the deepest respect
for you as a gentleman
1
00:52:31,715 --> 00:52:34,548
l am simply trying to explain
how trade works in lndia
1
00:52:34,751 --> 00:52:37,219
lt could be beneficial to you.
- You mistake me sir
1
00:52:37,887 --> 00:52:41,755
l'm here to bury corruption, not fan it.
- Corruption is a strong word, sir
1
00:52:41,958 --> 00:52:44,791
lt is our custom, as lndians,
to give small gifts
1
00:52:45,061 --> 00:52:49,293
l must quieten your displeasure
and pay a fine. 300 pounds in gold?
1
00:52:49,498 --> 00:52:50,465
Damn your eyes !
1
00:52:50,867 --> 00:52:52,630
Three thousand pounds
1
00:52:53,469 --> 00:52:54,367
Now ?
1
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,036
Three.. thousand.. pounds !
1
00:52:59,242 --> 00:53:00,937
lndia is rich, sir
1
00:53:01,978 --> 00:53:06,711
Lockwood did not succumb to Sorabjee's
offer of a huge bribe.
1
00:53:07,250 --> 00:53:10,378
lnstead he forced Sorabjee to
name the villages...
1
00:53:10,586 --> 00:53:12,076
from which he bought the opium.
1
00:53:14,590 --> 00:53:17,616
Every man is reminded...
1
00:53:17,827 --> 00:53:19,954
that growing, buying or
selling opium...
1
00:53:20,764 --> 00:53:25,097
without the permission
of the Company...
1
00:53:25,302 --> 00:53:26,735
is illegal and punishable
1
00:53:26,936 --> 00:53:28,996
You have broken the law
1
00:53:29,206 --> 00:53:32,231
Therefore by the order of
the Collector and Magistrate...
1
00:53:32,442 --> 00:53:38,847
your land and property is
hereby confiscated !
1
00:53:39,048 --> 00:53:40,675
But how are we to blame ?
1
00:53:41,016 --> 00:53:45,146
White sahibs tell us to grow, we grow.
White sahibs tell us to sell, we sell
1
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:48,085
Don't take our lands sahib !
Where will we go ?
1
00:53:48,291 --> 00:53:50,588
Have mercy, sahib
1
00:53:50,793 --> 00:53:53,023
For god's sake, have mercy
1
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:59,663
Get your hands off
1
00:54:07,376 --> 00:54:09,038
The Company is cruel !
1
00:54:09,311 --> 00:54:11,507
Get out ! Go away !
1
00:54:14,050 --> 00:54:16,109
Our children will starve !
- Leave us alone
1
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:19,622
Fire !
1
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:20,684
No sir !
1
00:54:20,889 --> 00:54:22,789
That's not necessary,
l'll deal with this
1
00:54:22,992 --> 00:54:24,857
l said fire !
1
00:54:34,003 --> 00:54:36,471
No... no... don't shoot.
- We're your brothers
1
00:55:38,233 --> 00:55:39,996
What are you thinking ?
1
00:55:41,170 --> 00:55:43,730
Does this happen back home
in my village as well ?
1
00:55:46,443 --> 00:55:53,372
We're soldiers. lt's our job to fight,
to kill
1
00:55:54,983 --> 00:55:59,478
To kill an unknown enemy is easy.
But to kill people who are your own...
1
00:56:02,992 --> 00:56:05,756
You were obeying orders, Mangal
1
00:56:06,963 --> 00:56:12,230
That's our duty That is the price of
the salt we eat
1
00:56:14,170 --> 00:56:17,628
Sometimes l wonder if there are more
important things in life than salt
1
00:56:49,038 --> 00:57:01,246
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:57:01,985 --> 00:57:16,229
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:57:21,170 --> 00:57:26,198
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:57:26,409 --> 00:57:36,842
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:57:37,052 --> 00:57:40,647
Your love for me is like...
1
00:57:42,291 --> 00:57:47,319
Your love for me is like...
a honey-dipped dagger
1
00:57:47,530 --> 00:57:53,264
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:57:55,637 --> 00:58:00,665
Your burning gaze pierces
me like arrows
1
00:58:00,876 --> 00:58:05,836
Where did you learn such deadly skill ?
1
00:58:06,048 --> 00:58:11,681
My heart's wounded...
but the pain is so exquisite
1
00:58:14,090 --> 00:58:19,756
l'm a slave to your charms
1
00:58:54,563 --> 00:58:59,466
Once l was a blossoming bud...
1
00:59:04,507 --> 00:59:10,240
flowering in a garden of sunshine
1
00:59:12,347 --> 00:59:14,645
No restless days,
1
00:59:14,851 --> 00:59:17,547
no sleepless nights
1
00:59:17,753 --> 00:59:20,153
l was innocent and carefree...
1
00:59:20,356 --> 00:59:22,756
and then l met you !
1
00:59:22,958 --> 00:59:28,760
oh, what a price l'm paying
for having trusted you...
1
00:59:30,967 --> 00:59:36,064
oh, what a price l'm paying
for having trusted you !
1
00:59:46,815 --> 00:59:51,843
Your love for me is like...
a honey-dipped dagger
1
00:59:52,054 --> 01:00:03,125
l'm a slave to your charms
1
01:00:52,882 --> 01:00:55,009
She has already been promised
for the first night...
1
01:00:55,217 --> 01:00:59,916
to the Company's senior officer.
you cannot take her sahib, l beg you
1
01:01:00,123 --> 01:01:02,682
Out of my way woman,
l'm taking her
1
01:01:02,891 --> 01:01:06,384
No, not for double the money, please
1
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:09,793
Her first night will be with me
and that's what she wants to...
1
01:01:09,998 --> 01:01:13,365
don't you darling !
- Don't create trouble for me
1
01:01:13,568 --> 01:01:14,536
Enough !
1
01:01:19,641 --> 01:01:23,634
Did you not hear !
The woman said something. Leave the girl
1
01:01:23,846 --> 01:01:26,507
One more word out of you and
l'll have you horsewhipped !
1
01:01:27,083 --> 01:01:28,380
You're not going anywhere !
1
01:01:37,193 --> 01:01:38,057
Bastard !
1
01:01:38,260 --> 01:01:39,489
l'll get you for this, you nigger !
1
01:01:39,695 --> 01:01:43,757
l'll teach you a lesson,
you son of a whore !
1
01:01:48,871 --> 01:01:55,902
l say, leave him !
1
01:02:11,494 --> 01:02:15,157
You scoundrels !
You're wrecking my shop
1
01:02:24,639 --> 01:02:26,436
No ! Not upstairs !
1
01:02:26,641 --> 01:02:30,168
You'll destroy my rooms !
Who'll pay for the damage ?
1
01:03:20,596 --> 01:03:23,190
You still haven't told me your name
1
01:03:25,067 --> 01:03:25,998
Jwala
1
01:03:26,202 --> 01:03:29,330
Hey stop ! - lt's urgent
1
01:03:29,572 --> 01:03:31,972
Where are you going ?
- We need to meet Gordon sahib
1
01:03:32,208 --> 01:03:37,668
Gordon sahib ! He's killing Mangal !
- What... who ?
1
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,576
Hewson sahib has gone to
the jail to kill Mangal Pandey
1
01:04:06,309 --> 01:04:10,769
You dog ! You dare assault an officer !
1
01:04:29,030 --> 01:04:30,498
Say you are a dog
1
01:04:34,503 --> 01:04:36,664
Say you are a dog !
1
01:04:46,715 --> 01:04:48,342
You are a dog
1
01:04:57,693 --> 01:05:00,093
Make the black bastard shit blood
1
01:05:02,297 --> 01:05:04,925
Stop... stop it
1
01:05:07,969 --> 01:05:10,836
Four men against one !
You cowardly bastard
1
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,567
You think you can kill this man
and get away with it ?
1
01:05:13,809 --> 01:05:16,606
The commandant won't take a
black man's word for it, will he ?
1
01:05:16,811 --> 01:05:19,679
Well, if he'll take a white man's
he'll bloody well take mine
1
01:05:20,983 --> 01:05:23,747
You sir, you're no white man
1
01:05:26,989 --> 01:05:28,251
Let's get out of here
1
01:05:29,090 --> 01:05:29,853
Come on
1
01:05:55,751 --> 01:06:03,556
Cheers to Mangal ! Long live Mangal !
1
01:06:03,759 --> 01:06:04,987
Next
1
01:06:08,463 --> 01:06:11,922
Quick, lift it up. You wouldn't be here
if you were the shy sort
1
01:06:21,777 --> 01:06:26,110
C'mon doc, quit peeping up skirts all day.
Treat a hero for once !
1
01:06:27,882 --> 01:06:31,045
lsn't he the one who fought
with Captain Hewson ?
1
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:34,017
No ! He's the one who taught
him a lesson !
1
01:06:34,690 --> 01:06:39,023
Come baby ! l could teach you
a lesson or two myself
1
01:06:39,494 --> 01:06:44,193
Oh dear ! What a waste of energy !
Why don't you try your strength on us ?
1
01:06:45,300 --> 01:06:48,963
Yes ! l've never tasted a hero
1
01:06:49,170 --> 01:06:53,300
For you it'll be free. ln fact,
we'll pay
1
01:06:53,909 --> 01:06:58,846
Shut up ! Go sell your bodies
to the whites... go
1
01:06:59,514 --> 01:07:02,143
We just sell our bodies,
1
01:07:02,717 --> 01:07:04,810
you soldiers sell your souls !
1
01:07:19,268 --> 01:07:23,068
ln the course of my investigations
l have discovered
1
01:07:23,271 --> 01:07:26,400
that you have been compromising
senior officers,
1
01:07:27,443 --> 01:07:30,674
falsifying accounts, in fact sir,
you have been cheating the company
1
01:07:32,047 --> 01:07:36,313
l have done nothing
that others have not done before me
1
01:07:36,485 --> 01:07:40,251
You have been smuggling opium
into China on your own behalf, Mr Kent
1
01:07:43,958 --> 01:07:44,788
You have evidence ?
1
01:07:49,364 --> 01:07:53,494
Lockwood accused Kent of carrying
on illegitimate trade in opium...
1
01:07:53,702 --> 01:07:56,500
and produced Sorabjee as evidence.
1
01:07:56,704 --> 01:08:02,438
You wanted me to go to prison for you.
- No sir, you pay for your own sins
1
01:08:03,112 --> 01:08:09,449
Mr Lockwood, you would persuade
a native to point a finger at me !
1
01:08:09,717 --> 01:08:11,446
l'm just a puppet in his hands, sir
1
01:08:11,619 --> 01:08:13,086
lf you lay a hand on me...
1
01:08:13,621 --> 01:08:18,524
the reverberations will reach
the House of Lords
1
01:08:18,894 --> 01:08:23,387
Kent warned Lockwood
that taking him on...
1
01:08:23,832 --> 01:08:27,131
Lockwood could be taking on
the House of Lords.
1
01:08:41,716 --> 01:08:42,683
Anyone there ?
1
01:08:51,426 --> 01:08:52,552
Hukum Singh
1
01:09:07,842 --> 01:09:09,275
l'm used to it, sahib
1
01:09:09,478 --> 01:09:10,944
But l'm not
1
01:09:41,210 --> 01:09:45,305
lt's all right, come on
1
01:09:51,186 --> 01:09:52,313
What are you doing ?
1
01:09:54,256 --> 01:09:58,056
Give me the gun
1
01:09:58,260 --> 01:10:00,056
Give me the bloody gun !
1
01:10:20,515 --> 01:10:21,846
l don't want you to go
1
01:10:42,003 --> 01:10:43,698
l was just at Lol Bibi's...
1
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:46,940
your Juliet is really worried
about you, mate
1
01:10:47,141 --> 01:10:50,338
She sent milk for you,
specially laced with turmeric
1
01:10:51,046 --> 01:10:54,208
But l'm an untouchable and what
l've touched you won't consume
1
01:10:54,416 --> 01:10:58,443
So l saved you the dilemma and
l drank it myself !
1
01:11:02,224 --> 01:11:03,520
l want to meet her
1
01:11:05,426 --> 01:11:08,224
Oh, so the fire rages here
as well
1
01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:13,628
But how ? You aren't a white man,
eunuch or an untouchable.
1
01:11:16,204 --> 01:11:17,296
l want to meet her
1
01:12:11,659 --> 01:12:12,591
What's your name ?
1
01:12:15,130 --> 01:12:16,028
Heera
1
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:20,230
What caste ?
1
01:12:23,072 --> 01:12:28,873
People on sale have none. Whoever pays
gets to choose my caste
1
01:12:33,381 --> 01:12:34,143
Where are you from ?
1
01:12:35,650 --> 01:12:36,548
Don't know
1
01:12:37,819 --> 01:12:41,516
As a child l was kidnapped, then sold
1
01:12:43,391 --> 01:12:46,054
Since then, it's been one
sale after another
1
01:12:48,363 --> 01:12:49,295
Want to escape ?
1
01:12:52,333 --> 01:12:53,595
Escape ? With you ?
1
01:13:19,994 --> 01:13:21,552
You're badly hurt
1
01:13:31,206 --> 01:13:33,333
Did you drink the milk l sent ?
1
01:13:35,476 --> 01:13:36,273
Ya
1
01:13:37,912 --> 01:13:39,174
Lying to me ?
1
01:13:46,988 --> 01:13:48,114
Lol Bibi is looking for you
1
01:13:48,323 --> 01:13:50,154
You'll get into trouble
1
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:33,728
Like the fish thrashes helplessly in a net...
1
01:14:35,103 --> 01:14:42,838
so do l in your love
1
01:14:43,045 --> 01:14:45,842
At the core of my being...
1
01:14:46,715 --> 01:14:51,516
l feel an insatiable thirst...
1
01:14:53,322 --> 01:15:00,091
and my every nerve is aflame
1
01:15:22,518 --> 01:15:27,511
Oh tell me, lass, who's that
thief of your thoughts ?
1
01:15:38,332 --> 01:15:43,065
That philanderer, that scoundrel,
1
01:15:43,438 --> 01:15:48,239
he sins in my head
1
01:15:52,180 --> 01:15:56,708
That philanderer, that scoundrel,
1
01:15:56,918 --> 01:16:01,480
he sins in my head
1
01:16:01,689 --> 01:16:05,853
Locking his eyes with mine...
1
01:16:06,228 --> 01:16:10,823
he steals my sleep and peace of mind
1
01:16:11,399 --> 01:16:17,099
That trickster... oh my rascal lover
1
01:16:17,305 --> 01:16:19,296
Slowly but surely...
1
01:16:19,507 --> 01:16:21,635
she falls in his trap
1
01:16:21,842 --> 01:16:23,935
As the flames begin to lick her...
1
01:16:24,145 --> 01:16:27,603
her veil begins to slip
1
01:16:27,815 --> 01:16:32,617
That trickster
1
01:16:33,488 --> 01:16:38,789
Oh my rascal lover
1
01:16:40,595 --> 01:16:42,961
Oh tell me, lass, who is he ?
1
01:16:43,164 --> 01:16:47,123
Who's that thief of your dreams ?
1
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:56,740
He's a soldier, a brave warrior,
who by my word, has stolen my heart
1
01:17:26,975 --> 01:17:31,275
l didn't think at first sight that
he would possess me so
1
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,606
But my heart began to beat aloud...
1
01:17:33,814 --> 01:17:36,442
and l knew l was lost
1
01:17:38,487 --> 01:17:40,681
How l panicked...
1
01:17:40,889 --> 01:17:42,856
and burned with shame...
1
01:17:43,057 --> 01:17:47,358
when he took my hand and
pulled me close
1
01:17:47,561 --> 01:17:49,756
Then clouds of desire gathered,
1
01:17:49,965 --> 01:17:54,458
and burst forth with love's rain.
Oh that trickster
1
01:18:01,309 --> 01:18:03,708
Oh you scoundrel
1
01:19:02,237 --> 01:19:03,328
What's up Davar ?
1
01:19:04,972 --> 01:19:06,600
Damn you, Nainsukh !
1
01:19:06,807 --> 01:19:09,435
You cockeyed scoundrel ! Can't you find
someone else to bump into ?
1
01:19:09,644 --> 01:19:14,206
Who better than you, now that we're
both the same... untouchables
1
01:19:14,483 --> 01:19:16,041
What nonsense, you swine !
1
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:20,016
Well, you've bitten the bullet
and licked the fat
1
01:19:20,221 --> 01:19:21,552
You've lost your caste, you have
nothing left to lose now
1
01:19:21,756 --> 01:19:24,122
Shut up... that's a lie !
1
01:19:24,326 --> 01:19:27,386
Your ''lie'' is being manufactured
in a factory in Calcutta
1
01:19:27,595 --> 01:19:28,687
Want to see for yourself ?
1
01:19:30,398 --> 01:19:31,228
Do you ?
1
01:19:36,137 --> 01:19:42,202
Come, my brothers, come
1
01:19:44,345 --> 01:19:47,746
l won't stay silent any longer,
even if it costs me my life !
1
01:19:47,948 --> 01:19:51,817
lt's true about the cartridges.
See for yourself, pig fat and cow fat
1
01:20:03,965 --> 01:20:05,159
May the devil stay away !
1
01:20:11,372 --> 01:20:13,169
ls this your factory ?
- Only in name...
1
01:20:13,375 --> 01:20:15,672
the real owner is an Englishman
1
01:20:16,545 --> 01:20:20,777
l am a god-fearing man, brothers,
l respect both Hindus and Muslims
1
01:20:20,981 --> 01:20:24,349
Then why did you use cow
and pig fat ?!
1
01:20:24,886 --> 01:20:28,447
The Company would have used
crow fat if that was cheaper
1
01:21:10,931 --> 01:21:11,590
Mangal...?
1
01:21:14,536 --> 01:21:16,230
You lied to me !
1
01:21:18,006 --> 01:21:20,735
l trusted you and you lied me
1
01:21:22,277 --> 01:21:25,872
What're you talking about ?
- l saw it with my own eyes
1
01:21:26,448 --> 01:21:28,882
The factory, the cartridge,
the grease...
1
01:21:29,083 --> 01:21:30,744
made with cow and pig fat
1
01:21:31,185 --> 01:21:34,484
Oh God, no...
1
01:21:34,756 --> 01:21:36,246
l'm now an outcaste
1
01:21:37,324 --> 01:21:38,791
You know what it means to
be an outcaste ?
1
01:21:39,895 --> 01:21:41,419
My entire community will shun me
1
01:21:41,930 --> 01:21:45,024
They will no longer touch me,
speak to me, eat with me,
1
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:48,757
or burn my body when l die
1
01:21:49,904 --> 01:21:50,836
For them l am an untouchable.
l no longer exist. l am a nobody
1
01:21:51,038 --> 01:21:52,835
Mangal, listen to me...
- You lied to me !
1
01:21:53,041 --> 01:21:55,440
Listen to me, l didn't know !
They lied to me
1
01:21:55,644 --> 01:22:02,948
You plunder our land, you abuse
our faith and now...
1
01:22:03,417 --> 01:22:07,683
you want our Souls ? Sahib... you've
enjoyed a black man's loyalty
1
01:22:08,657 --> 01:22:10,284
Now taste his fury
1
01:22:10,625 --> 01:22:14,823
Mark my words, Captain sahib !
This cartridge will explode
1
01:22:15,095 --> 01:22:17,495
And it will bring to an end
the Company Raj
1
01:22:22,037 --> 01:22:27,873
Take back you pistol, Captain sahib.
We're brothers no more
1
01:23:15,457 --> 01:23:16,753
Don't...
1
01:23:25,766 --> 01:23:29,725
lf you are an untouchable then so am l
1
01:23:32,673 --> 01:23:35,471
Mangal, we're all with you
1
01:23:38,846 --> 01:23:41,644
A wrong done unknowingly is not a sin
1
01:23:41,983 --> 01:23:44,110
That's what the scriptures say as well
1
01:23:57,131 --> 01:23:59,895
This cartridge controversy
could spin out of control sir.
1
01:24:00,335 --> 01:24:04,395
We have tried to introduce it twice,
in different regiments without success.
1
01:24:04,773 --> 01:24:06,104
l would recommend caution.
1
01:24:06,274 --> 01:24:10,438
Damn it we can't succumb
to such blind superstition
1
01:24:10,677 --> 01:24:13,703
May seem like superstition
to us sir, but to the sepoys...
1
01:24:13,814 --> 01:24:16,840
it's an extremely sensitive issue.
lt strikes them at their core.
1
01:24:17,118 --> 01:24:23,079
Gordon urged his senior officers
to respect the sepoys' feelings...
1
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:26,260
and withdraw the cartridge.
He was reminded that...
1
01:24:26,461 --> 01:24:32,923
the country was ruled by a Company
which could not suffer losses.
1
01:24:41,643 --> 01:24:45,943
Colonel Mitchell claimed that
his sepoys were loyal...
1
01:24:46,314 --> 01:24:49,943
and would do his bidding.
So it was decided...
1
01:24:50,150 --> 01:24:54,451
that a contingent from Barrackpore
be sent to Behrampore...
1
01:24:54,655 --> 01:25:00,787
a hundred miles away... where they would be
forced to use the cartridge, by example.
1
01:25:45,206 --> 01:25:48,333
Mitchell ordered the sepoys from
both the Behrampore...
1
01:25:48,542 --> 01:25:54,344
and Barrackpore regiments...
to use the cartridge.
1
01:25:55,884 --> 01:25:58,351
First company, first platoon,
1
01:25:58,552 --> 01:26:01,350
step forward and pick up
your rifles and the cartridges
1
01:26:08,896 --> 01:26:10,193
Subedar
1
01:26:14,068 --> 01:26:15,194
What's the matter ?
1
01:26:15,403 --> 01:26:18,372
The new cartridge, sir.
The sepoys don't want to use it, sir
1
01:26:18,573 --> 01:26:20,541
Damn it Bakht Khan
1
01:26:21,408 --> 01:26:22,875
Now this is the Army
1
01:26:23,912 --> 01:26:28,372
A soldier uses whatever arms and
ammunition he is asked to use
1
01:26:31,252 --> 01:26:36,212
First company, first platoon,
step forward
1
01:26:40,595 --> 01:26:41,721
Enough !
1
01:26:43,931 --> 01:26:48,733
lf you do not move l will blow you
apart with cannon !
1
01:26:54,609 --> 01:26:56,577
Move the artillery forward
1
01:27:16,631 --> 01:27:19,099
You will obey orders !
1
01:27:20,467 --> 01:27:22,935
l will count till ten
1
01:27:25,974 --> 01:27:27,601
One
1
01:27:29,810 --> 01:27:30,435
Two
1
01:27:33,514 --> 01:27:34,445
Three
1
01:27:36,818 --> 01:27:38,284
Four
1
01:27:41,989 --> 01:27:42,956
Five
1
01:27:45,493 --> 01:27:46,460
Six
1
01:27:49,329 --> 01:27:50,296
Seven
1
01:27:54,836 --> 01:27:55,632
Eight
1
01:27:59,006 --> 01:28:00,132
Nine
1
01:28:29,703 --> 01:28:32,831
Fire...
1
01:28:56,564 --> 01:28:59,032
Dismiss the parade sir.
This could turn serious
1
01:29:01,069 --> 01:29:02,195
Do it sir
1
01:29:04,738 --> 01:29:06,865
For god's sake,
do it before it's too late !
1
01:29:08,743 --> 01:29:11,871
Very well, dismiss the parade
1
01:29:14,247 --> 01:29:16,375
Parade... dismiss !
1
01:29:53,287 --> 01:29:56,586
Looting the armoury was wrong
1
01:29:57,125 --> 01:29:59,422
Now we leave them no choice
1
01:29:59,594 --> 01:30:02,563
What choice did we have ?
Mitchell was about to blow us up.
1
01:30:02,796 --> 01:30:06,095
That was just a bluff.
He doesn't have the authority
1
01:30:06,333 --> 01:30:07,425
But now he has an excuse
1
01:30:07,635 --> 01:30:11,435
He'll attack us and claim that
he's putting down a mutiny
1
01:30:12,472 --> 01:30:14,269
They're coming to attack our
homes with horses and cannons !
1
01:30:18,145 --> 01:30:21,444
Don't panic. Get ready with
your weapons
1
01:30:21,649 --> 01:30:23,115
Come on
1
01:30:36,229 --> 01:30:39,460
This is your commanding officer
1
01:30:40,701 --> 01:30:44,796
Unless you lay down the arms
which you have looted...
1
01:30:45,506 --> 01:30:49,135
l promise you,
l will give the orders of fire
1
01:30:49,676 --> 01:30:52,144
We don't want bloodshed,
Colonel sahib.
1
01:30:52,712 --> 01:30:56,478
Withdraw your guns and go in peace
1
01:30:57,185 --> 01:31:01,315
Surrender ! This is your last chance
1
01:31:01,521 --> 01:31:06,323
We are armed Colonel sahib !
We will fight
1
01:31:06,860 --> 01:31:08,157
But sir, they are our own men
1
01:31:08,362 --> 01:31:11,159
Not any more, can't you see
they are mutineers
1
01:31:11,698 --> 01:31:15,327
Split up into four groups and
let each man carry two torches
1
01:31:17,537 --> 01:31:19,835
Sir but we have no such commands
from the General
1
01:31:20,041 --> 01:31:22,509
Don't you dare interfere with my authority
1
01:32:20,935 --> 01:32:23,733
Please withdraw for now, sir.
Let me talk to them
1
01:32:27,274 --> 01:32:30,072
All right do it, do it !
1
01:32:30,778 --> 01:32:32,905
Listen up
1
01:32:33,613 --> 01:32:36,582
This is corporal Bhola Tiwari speaking
1
01:32:36,783 --> 01:32:40,913
Colonel Mitchell sahib has agreed
to withdraw the cannons
1
01:32:41,454 --> 01:32:43,752
The English soldiers are
returning to their barracks
1
01:32:43,957 --> 01:32:46,255
Please let them through
1
01:33:06,180 --> 01:33:09,615
Fellow soldiers of lndia...
1
01:33:13,988 --> 01:33:16,957
we have shed our blood
without complaint...
1
01:33:18,158 --> 01:33:24,119
in the service of our foreign masters
1
01:33:25,332 --> 01:33:28,631
For them, we have conquered
kingdom after kingdom
1
01:33:29,502 --> 01:33:32,300
But in return...
1
01:33:33,673 --> 01:33:34,970
what have we got ?
1
01:33:35,842 --> 01:33:40,974
Poverty, hunger and humiliation
1
01:33:44,351 --> 01:33:45,318
Mangal, Gordon sahib is here
1
01:33:55,695 --> 01:33:57,823
l'm not here on duty
1
01:34:00,033 --> 01:34:02,161
l've come to speak with Mangal Pandey
1
01:34:03,871 --> 01:34:07,829
Whatever you have to say,
you can say here. We're all friends
1
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:21,516
Give me a minute
1
01:34:31,231 --> 01:34:34,029
Do you fully understand the implications
of what you're doing ?
1
01:34:34,402 --> 01:34:37,371
The Army will never,
never tolerate insubordination
1
01:34:37,904 --> 01:34:43,365
You leave them no choice.
They will have to use force unless...
1
01:34:43,577 --> 01:34:46,704
Unless what ? Unless what sahib ?
1
01:34:47,914 --> 01:34:50,712
Unless we go down on our knees
and beg for mercy ?
1
01:34:51,252 --> 01:34:54,380
Swallow your cartridge and our honour ?
1
01:34:55,088 --> 01:34:57,716
Forget who we are and promise to
remain your slaves forever ?
1
01:35:00,261 --> 01:35:03,719
For too long our minds have rusted
in the service of foreign masters
1
01:35:04,097 --> 01:35:06,895
All it takes is a little bit of grease to
make us remember who we are
1
01:35:07,635 --> 01:35:13,403
l can understand how you feel.
l too feel angered...
1
01:35:13,606 --> 01:35:18,408
when the Company is unreasonable,
when officers are unfeeling,
1
01:35:18,612 --> 01:35:22,742
when rules are unfair,
but these differences...
1
01:35:22,949 --> 01:35:25,417
must be resolved by reasonable means
1
01:35:30,957 --> 01:35:31,924
This is the difference
1
01:35:35,296 --> 01:35:37,423
Now what are the reasonable means ?
1
01:35:48,641 --> 01:35:52,442
News of the chaos at Behrampore had
reached the senior officers.
1
01:35:52,645 --> 01:35:54,442
They were unhappy with Mitchell's
handling of the situation.
1
01:35:54,614 --> 01:35:57,981
Mitchell is a fool
1
01:35:58,586 --> 01:36:00,645
This shouldn't have been allowed
to happen.
1
01:36:10,930 --> 01:36:14,923
l've come to beg you to reconsider, sir.
Please withdraw the cartridges.
1
01:36:17,203 --> 01:36:19,831
You don't expect an army to succumb
to a rumour do you, Captain ?
1
01:36:20,106 --> 01:36:22,871
This is not simply
a question of idle gossip, sir.
1
01:36:23,042 --> 01:36:26,808
Gordon once again urged that the
cartridges be discontinued.
1
01:36:28,515 --> 01:36:31,143
But the officials paid no heed to him.
1
01:36:31,685 --> 01:36:35,985
lnstead, they cast aspersions
on his loyalty, and said...
1
01:36:36,189 --> 01:36:41,491
he could share his bed with a
native, but not his loyalty.
1
01:37:11,559 --> 01:37:16,189
The British were worried that there were
very few white soldiers in Barrackpore.
1
01:37:16,896 --> 01:37:21,356
They decided to send for
Queen Victoria's troops from...
1
01:37:21,569 --> 01:37:25,869
Rangoon to deal with the
rebelling sepoys.
1
01:37:26,239 --> 01:37:28,707
And till Rangoon Regiment arrived...
1
01:37:28,908 --> 01:37:30,536
they would stall for time
by ordering an enquiry.
1
01:37:35,082 --> 01:37:40,213
l think we should accept the
Company's offer and return the guns
1
01:37:40,753 --> 01:37:43,051
There will be only an inquiry,
no punishments
1
01:37:43,591 --> 01:37:44,887
Let them save face
1
01:37:45,091 --> 01:37:49,050
But we can win ! For every British soldier,
we are seven sepoys
1
01:37:49,430 --> 01:37:53,890
Even if we win Behrampore,
will it end the Company Raj ?
1
01:37:54,100 --> 01:37:56,228
So we take defeat without a fight ?
1
01:37:56,436 --> 01:38:00,737
Have we learnt nothing from the British ?
Rushing into battle is futile
1
01:38:01,108 --> 01:38:08,240
But if we plan well, we can win.
Our country, our honour... everything
1
01:38:08,448 --> 01:38:10,576
But for now we need time
1
01:38:13,854 --> 01:38:22,421
O' Messiah, lead us into hope...
1
01:38:22,630 --> 01:38:31,595
O' Messiah, lead us into hope
1
01:38:36,010 --> 01:38:42,438
ln fervent worship, l seek you...
like a moth seeks the flame
1
01:38:42,649 --> 01:38:51,523
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
1
01:38:51,725 --> 01:38:56,059
Lead me to your light,
show me the way
1
01:38:56,262 --> 01:39:06,969
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
1
01:39:07,173 --> 01:39:29,359
O' Messiah, lead us into hope
1
01:39:51,217 --> 01:39:55,847
My heart is uneasy,
sleep and dreams elude me
1
01:39:58,225 --> 01:40:02,685
l turn and toss as a storm grows
in my breast
1
01:40:06,899 --> 01:40:11,359
What is to happen next ?
Where does this story go ?
1
01:40:11,604 --> 01:40:15,700
The world waits with bated breath
for the saga to unfold
1
01:40:15,943 --> 01:40:16,875
O' Lord...
1
01:40:17,911 --> 01:40:19,377
O' Messiah...
1
01:40:20,413 --> 01:40:25,043
Why these hurdles, why this trial by fire ?
1
01:40:27,253 --> 01:40:35,559
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
1
01:40:47,608 --> 01:40:50,076
Welcome, friends, welcome...
1
01:40:50,778 --> 01:40:54,235
welcome to the noble path
1
01:40:57,117 --> 01:41:01,076
We are emissaries of King Nana Saheb
1
01:41:01,622 --> 01:41:05,922
l am Azimullah and this is Chief of the
Maratha army, Tatya Tope
1
01:41:06,460 --> 01:41:07,756
Please be seated
1
01:41:09,796 --> 01:41:12,094
What brings you to us ?
1
01:41:13,634 --> 01:41:18,435
You are aware how the Company has,
through treachery and force...
1
01:41:18,639 --> 01:41:21,106
snatched our kingdoms from us
1
01:41:21,641 --> 01:41:24,610
They took Delhi, Awadh, Jhansi...
1
01:41:25,645 --> 01:41:27,273
Everyone is angry
1
01:41:28,649 --> 01:41:32,949
Nana Saheb has united all the kings...
1
01:41:33,153 --> 01:41:36,280
to fight against the Company
1
01:41:37,824 --> 01:41:42,284
We're here to invite you to join us
1
01:41:50,671 --> 01:41:51,797
lnvite us ?
1
01:41:53,506 --> 01:41:54,632
What is it, some feast ?
1
01:41:56,009 --> 01:42:01,470
Your Rajahs and Nawabs have
gambled away their kingdoms
1
01:42:01,681 --> 01:42:02,807
They've sold out to the company,
my friend
1
01:42:03,516 --> 01:42:07,475
We have seen them grovel and
lay down their arms in front of us
1
01:42:08,921 --> 01:42:10,821
What are they ? Nothing
1
01:42:12,525 --> 01:42:13,492
And you ?
1
01:42:14,194 --> 01:42:18,824
We are Hindustan.
The Company rules on our strength
1
01:42:20,199 --> 01:42:22,827
The Company's native army
is the only force today...
1
01:42:23,036 --> 01:42:26,471
with the numbers, the weapons
and the training to challenge the Company
1
01:42:26,939 --> 01:42:29,669
And afterwards ? Who will rule ?
1
01:42:30,042 --> 01:42:30,701
The people
1
01:42:31,944 --> 01:42:37,007
Even in England, the Queen may be
on the coin, but the rule is of the people
1
01:42:39,219 --> 01:42:43,349
The Company has always
won by dividing us...
1
01:42:44,091 --> 01:42:48,686
by making us fight, king against king,
Hindu against Muslim
1
01:42:49,395 --> 01:42:52,694
We have a common enemy... the Company
1
01:42:53,567 --> 01:42:57,195
lt's time to unite and fight against it
1
01:42:57,570 --> 01:43:00,038
You want that we spill our blood to
throw the Company out...
1
01:43:00,239 --> 01:43:01,365
and become your slaves again ?
1
01:43:02,242 --> 01:43:04,038
No ! This is a fight for freedom
1
01:43:04,411 --> 01:43:08,211
Freedom from our past,
freedom for our future
1
01:43:11,918 --> 01:43:17,015
lt is the need of the hour
that we bury our differences
1
01:43:19,592 --> 01:43:22,220
We're ready to fight alongside the kings
1
01:43:23,329 --> 01:43:27,891
But this revolution needs
a unifying symbol
1
01:43:28,435 --> 01:43:30,903
And that can only be the
Red Fort in Delhi
1
01:43:31,771 --> 01:43:33,568
lf we agree...
1
01:43:33,774 --> 01:43:35,570
to unite under the leadership of the
Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah...
1
01:43:35,943 --> 01:43:37,739
then we have a deal
1
01:43:44,952 --> 01:43:47,750
But Bahadur Shah is 82 years old
1
01:43:47,954 --> 01:43:53,086
Yes, he is old and infirm...
but fed up of the Company's excesses
1
01:43:53,627 --> 01:43:55,754
He needs us and we need him
1
01:43:57,130 --> 01:43:59,597
His flag will be our banner
1
01:44:05,639 --> 01:44:14,512
We know the disposition, speed and
strength of the entire Company army
1
01:44:19,819 --> 01:44:23,118
Barrackpore, Behrampore, Raniganj
1
01:44:23,323 --> 01:44:26,292
Allahabad, Kanpur, Lucknow,
Meerut and Delhi
1
01:44:30,162 --> 01:44:32,130
All large garrison towns
1
01:44:33,332 --> 01:44:38,964
Three hundred thousand native sepoys
and only forty thousand British soldiers
1
01:44:41,507 --> 01:44:45,307
lf on the same day, at the same time,
all of us rise...
1
01:44:46,345 --> 01:44:52,648
the Company won't know where to hide
1
01:44:55,855 --> 01:44:58,221
ln a single day, we disarm
every British soldier
1
01:44:59,192 --> 01:45:02,559
And the Company Raj comes to an end !
1
01:45:10,037 --> 01:45:11,664
Praise be to Allah !
1
01:45:14,041 --> 01:45:17,670
Astrology predicts that the Company Raj
will end in a hundred years
1
01:45:18,545 --> 01:45:22,572
And a hundred years, ends this May
1
01:45:22,882 --> 01:45:24,510
Then let's fix the date
1
01:45:25,551 --> 01:45:26,779
31st May
1
01:45:28,387 --> 01:45:32,791
On that day, all of lndia will rise
and become free
1
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,461
lt's Holi !
1
01:45:39,065 --> 01:45:42,364
Holi is here, an explosion of colour
1
01:45:42,569 --> 01:45:45,868
The bells ring out and drumbeats roll
1
01:45:46,073 --> 01:45:49,201
The streets dance in drunken abandon
1
01:45:49,408 --> 01:45:53,037
lt's the season of joy, my love
1
01:46:21,108 --> 01:46:23,076
You wretches ! Where are you off to ?
1
01:46:29,448 --> 01:46:34,250
Look, Holi is here in a riot of colours,
painting one and all alike
1
01:46:34,453 --> 01:46:39,255
Sorrows are lost, in new ecstasies
of blues, greens and reds
1
01:46:39,458 --> 01:46:43,918
Look, Holi is here in a riot of colours,
painting one and all alike
1
01:46:44,131 --> 01:46:48,932
Sorrows are lost, in new ecstasies
of blues, greens and reds
1
01:46:49,136 --> 01:46:53,596
l am going to be coloured anew...
1
01:46:53,806 --> 01:46:56,934
this year the hues look richer
1
01:46:57,144 --> 01:47:02,104
No one can stop us now,
no one can hold us back...
1
01:47:02,481 --> 01:47:07,613
No matter what... we are ready !
1
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:31,641
Look my love, l'm drenched in colours
1
01:47:31,845 --> 01:47:36,305
And a little drunk, you sway
so mesmerisingly
1
01:47:36,515 --> 01:47:40,645
How can l not let go and
enjoy this moment...
1
01:47:41,354 --> 01:47:46,655
as you seduce me with your eyes ?
- No one can stop us now
1
01:47:46,859 --> 01:47:53,389
No one can hold us back...
no matter what... we are ready !
1
01:48:04,377 --> 01:48:07,835
With a fistful of colours Lord Krishna
sneaks up on his lover
1
01:48:08,047 --> 01:48:12,074
But Radha is quick as she is naughty
and gives it back as good as she gets
1
01:48:18,891 --> 01:48:22,349
With a fistful of colours Lord Krishna
sneaks up on his lover
1
01:48:22,561 --> 01:48:26,019
But Radha is quick as she is naughty
and gives it back as good as she gets
1
01:48:26,233 --> 01:48:31,364
As the lovers unite and the colours mix
Radha and Krishna become one
1
01:48:31,570 --> 01:48:36,439
Which is Radha, which is Krishna
who can tell them apart ?
1
01:48:47,253 --> 01:48:51,713
Under a blanket of colours
our eyes lock, our hands touch
1
01:48:51,925 --> 01:48:56,385
We come closer and something
deep within me stirs
1
01:48:56,595 --> 01:49:01,055
This spell of love, this joyous abandon,
can you ever escape it ?
1
01:49:01,268 --> 01:49:04,567
Don't ask that of me anymore
1
01:49:04,770 --> 01:49:09,730
No one can stop us now,
no can hold us back...
1
01:49:09,943 --> 01:49:15,141
no matter what... we are ready !
1
01:50:17,844 --> 01:50:24,146
The insolent behavior of the sepoys
Had the British officials worried.
1
01:50:24,350 --> 01:50:28,150
Just then, General Anson
received the news...
1
01:50:28,688 --> 01:50:31,885
that Rangoon Regiment was afloat
and would reach on...
1
01:50:32,692 --> 01:50:35,489
April 1st. Anson decided that when
the Queen's troops arrived...
1
01:50:35,694 --> 01:50:40,757
the rebel soldiers would be disarmed
and their leaders hanged.
1
01:50:41,033 --> 01:50:47,233
lt would be such a lesson that no one
would dare rise for a hundred years.
1
01:51:00,886 --> 01:51:03,980
Mangal, they're going to kill you
1
01:51:04,556 --> 01:51:06,581
They've sent for the Rangoon Regiment
1
01:51:06,893 --> 01:51:09,190
What... Rangoon Regiment ? When ?
1
01:51:09,395 --> 01:51:10,590
1st April
1
01:51:11,898 --> 01:51:13,024
How do you know ?
1
01:51:14,067 --> 01:51:15,694
Last night l was with Hewson
1
01:51:16,735 --> 01:51:18,363
He blurts out a lot when he is drunk.
1
01:51:18,570 --> 01:51:20,538
He said, once the Regiment gets here...
1
01:51:20,739 --> 01:51:26,041
they'll disarm the native sepoys
and hang their leaders
1
01:51:26,746 --> 01:51:30,546
l'm scared, Mangal ! Save yourself...
1
01:51:30,750 --> 01:51:35,118
and save me... from this hell
1
01:51:37,256 --> 01:51:39,281
Mangal, l beg you
1
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:42,387
Let's run away...
1
01:51:43,262 --> 01:51:44,287
anywhere
1
01:51:45,765 --> 01:51:46,493
No
1
01:51:55,774 --> 01:51:59,175
Heera, l cannot run away
1
01:52:14,961 --> 01:52:17,429
The situation has changed.
We can't wait till May
1
01:52:17,630 --> 01:52:21,430
But the kings need time to prepare.
- Time is what we don't have
1
01:52:21,634 --> 01:52:23,430
One wrong move can ruin everything
1
01:52:23,636 --> 01:52:25,263
Once the sepoys are disarmed,
who will do the fighting ?
1
01:52:25,471 --> 01:52:27,099
Your Nana Saheb ? Or Bahadur Shah ?
1
01:52:28,140 --> 01:52:29,107
There's one way
1
01:52:30,643 --> 01:52:34,271
We've received orders to march from
Behrampore on 21st March...
1
01:52:34,480 --> 01:52:35,947
to reach Barrackpore on 30th March.
1
01:52:36,149 --> 01:52:38,947
Rangoon Regiment arrives on 1st April
1
01:52:39,152 --> 01:52:40,948
That gives us two days
1
01:52:42,154 --> 01:52:46,956
The moment we reach Barrackpore,
we'll take over the cantonment
1
01:52:47,493 --> 01:52:51,293
Then, before the Rangoon Regiment arrives,
we march to Calcutta.
1
01:52:51,497 --> 01:52:54,796
There we capture Fort William
and hold on to it...
1
01:52:55,167 --> 01:52:58,136
until the rebellion spreads
throughout the country
1
01:53:06,845 --> 01:53:09,814
Done with selling your milk
to that white bitch ?
1
01:53:10,015 --> 01:53:11,643
Better that, than us starving
1
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,153
You bitch ! Talking back to me ?
1
01:53:17,023 --> 01:53:21,653
Now their days are numbered !
- Yeah, in your dreams !
1
01:53:22,028 --> 01:53:23,824
Wait and see, their time's up !
1
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:29,659
By the next full-moon... slaughter !
1
01:53:30,203 --> 01:53:32,671
Where... ? ln Barrackpore ?
1
01:53:32,872 --> 01:53:34,840
Everywhere. All across lndia !
1
01:53:46,219 --> 01:53:54,024
Memsaab, danger ! Danger Memsaab !
1
01:53:54,394 --> 01:53:55,190
Wait
1
01:53:59,399 --> 01:54:01,195
What's going on, what danger ?
1
01:54:01,734 --> 01:54:05,192
Baba is like my own son.
l don't want anything to happen to him
1
01:54:11,644 --> 01:54:16,206
Memsaab, you must leave !
- Why what's going on ?
1
01:54:19,752 --> 01:54:22,380
The sepoys say Company Raj will end
1
01:54:22,588 --> 01:54:24,216
They've been saying that for a
hundred years. lt won't happen
1
01:54:24,423 --> 01:54:26,891
No ! This time it's for real
1
01:54:27,426 --> 01:54:30,554
Please take Baba and go back to
Englistan. Please
1
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:36,728
You've taken a great risk, Kamla.
1
01:55:00,292 --> 01:55:04,922
Traitor! You dare to mutineer?
Now see what we do to your wife and child!
1
01:55:06,131 --> 01:55:08,929
What date have you devils set for this ?
1
01:55:18,411 --> 01:55:24,007
30th March
1
01:55:26,418 --> 01:55:27,317
Send dispatches immediately
1
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:29,044
Stop the Behrampore Regiment
from reaching here.
1
01:55:29,255 --> 01:55:30,221
Contact Rangoon
1
01:55:30,622 --> 01:55:33,113
The Queen's Regiment must get here
before the 30th.
1
01:55:33,626 --> 01:55:37,960
Remember... your wife and child!
1
01:55:41,833 --> 01:55:46,635
On learning the rebels' plans,
General Hearsey ordered that...
1
01:55:46,838 --> 01:55:50,797
The Rangoon Regiment must reach
Barrackpore before 30th March.
1
01:55:51,844 --> 01:55:54,471
Meanwhile, the Behrampore Regiment
must be stopped en route...
1
01:55:54,846 --> 01:55:58,646
and prevented from reaching Barrackpore.
1
01:56:05,858 --> 01:56:06,483
Halt !
1
01:56:13,865 --> 01:56:16,993
Ah, Bakht Khan ! - Why this halt, sir ?
1
01:56:17,235 --> 01:56:19,500
A storm is brewing.
We stay here till it passes.
1
01:56:19,706 --> 01:56:24,336
But the Sepoys are tired... eager to reach
Barrackpore. They need to rest
1
01:56:26,212 --> 01:56:29,511
Really ? Well l'm afraid
they must rest here
1
01:56:31,717 --> 01:56:33,014
l will go and explain it to them
1
01:56:35,387 --> 01:56:37,015
That won't be necessary
1
01:57:18,765 --> 01:57:19,731
What's up ?
1
01:57:21,434 --> 01:57:22,230
What happened ?
1
01:57:22,935 --> 01:57:24,903
White soldiers, a whole army !
1
01:57:25,104 --> 01:57:26,400
What ? Where ?
1
01:57:26,605 --> 01:57:28,402
On the riverbank, l saw it myself
1
01:57:29,942 --> 01:57:30,908
Are you out of your mind ?!
1
01:57:31,109 --> 01:57:33,077
Believe me, l swear by my mother !
1
01:57:34,113 --> 01:57:34,909
On the banks
1
01:57:39,952 --> 01:57:42,579
Come on... the Brits are here !
1
01:57:42,788 --> 01:57:43,914
The Rangoon Regiment has arrived.
1
01:57:44,122 --> 01:57:45,750
Everyone to the Parade Ground. Quick !
1
01:58:00,139 --> 01:58:02,106
Sound the bugle ! Call everyone, quick !
1
01:58:02,975 --> 01:58:04,602
This is not the time... - Blow the bugle
1
01:58:06,145 --> 01:58:08,613
Mangal ! What's the matter ?
1
01:58:19,492 --> 01:58:20,788
What's wrong with the Sergeant-Major ?
1
01:58:21,027 --> 01:58:24,121
Don't go out. lt is bad luck to spill milk
1
01:58:24,329 --> 01:58:25,626
lt's an ill omen !
Something terrible is going to happen !
1
01:58:26,332 --> 01:58:27,798
Please don't go
1
01:58:29,034 --> 01:58:32,128
Don't worry, l'll be fine
1
01:58:41,012 --> 01:58:45,814
Come on ! The time has come !
Time to fight, time to be free !
1
01:58:46,051 --> 01:58:50,147
What happened Mangal, what's wrong ?
- Get your weapons. The Brits are here
1
01:58:50,389 --> 01:58:53,824
The Rangoon Regiment has landed !
- But today isn't 1st April
1
01:58:54,025 --> 01:58:58,985
They came early. We have to act fast.
Go get your guns ! Quick !
1
01:58:59,198 --> 01:59:01,166
To arms !
1
01:59:01,367 --> 01:59:04,336
But Bakht Khan's men aren't here yet.
- We need to wait for them
1
01:59:04,537 --> 01:59:07,664
We can't wait. We must attack,
1
01:59:07,873 --> 01:59:11,673
and capture the cantonment before
the Rangoon Regiment moves in
1
01:59:11,877 --> 01:59:14,345
Stop. Don't. You'll get us killed !
1
01:59:14,546 --> 01:59:17,845
There's no time ! Come on, move ! Move !
1
01:59:18,951 --> 01:59:20,850
No no, wait ! He's gone mad !
1
01:59:21,554 --> 01:59:24,181
Mangal your impatience
will get us killed !
1
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:26,358
And this hesitation will
kill the rebellion !
1
01:59:26,559 --> 01:59:28,355
But Mangal, we are not ready yet
1
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:29,857
lt's now or never !
1
01:59:32,564 --> 01:59:34,192
What's wrong with you guys ?
1
01:59:35,568 --> 01:59:39,197
Don't you see, the moment we have
all been waiting for is here !
1
01:59:40,405 --> 01:59:44,536
lt's time to honour your pledge,
it's time to do or die
1
01:59:45,243 --> 01:59:47,711
Pick up your guns and fight
1
01:59:47,913 --> 01:59:49,541
Fight for your freedom
1
01:59:50,248 --> 01:59:52,546
For once, fight for yourselves
1
01:59:52,752 --> 01:59:53,548
Fight!
1
01:59:53,752 --> 01:59:54,719
Come on !
1
02:00:09,268 --> 02:00:10,394
What's going on here !
1
02:00:11,604 --> 02:00:12,570
Who sounded the bugle ?
1
02:00:24,617 --> 02:00:25,743
Mangal, stop
1
02:00:31,489 --> 02:00:32,421
Mangal... no...
1
02:00:38,463 --> 02:00:39,930
What the hell do you
think you're doing ?
1
02:00:40,298 --> 02:00:43,927
A handful of sepoys is no match
for the Rangoon Regiment
1
02:00:44,136 --> 02:00:45,103
That we shall see
1
02:00:47,472 --> 02:00:50,771
Then you leave me no choice
1
02:01:21,340 --> 02:01:22,306
Get the General
1
02:01:27,345 --> 02:01:28,642
Sir, it's begun
1
02:03:00,939 --> 02:03:02,236
The British Army
1
02:03:02,608 --> 02:03:03,574
Rangoon Regiment
1
02:03:43,149 --> 02:03:44,776
You are completely outnumbered
1
02:03:45,650 --> 02:03:49,279
Drop your guns and surrender, or die
1
02:03:52,358 --> 02:03:53,346
lt's too late, Mangal. lt's all over
1
02:03:53,826 --> 02:03:57,454
All of lndia is looking at us
lf we surrender now...
1
02:03:57,662 --> 02:04:01,120
the rebellion dies before it is born.
We can't let that happen
1
02:04:01,332 --> 02:04:02,458
l won't let that happen
1
02:04:05,337 --> 02:04:07,464
They are far too many,
it's no use. Let's run
1
02:04:07,672 --> 02:04:10,140
No... no...! - We can't win
1
02:04:10,341 --> 02:04:13,139
We will win, even if it takes
a hundred years
1
02:04:14,579 --> 02:04:17,480
Let's run Mangal... please,
or we'll all die !
1
02:04:26,692 --> 02:04:27,818
Go
1
02:04:30,029 --> 02:04:31,155
Spread the word
1
02:04:31,863 --> 02:04:33,660
lt has begun
1
02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:36,500
Mangal the rebellion needs you !
1
02:04:38,270 --> 02:04:40,170
The rebellion needs blood
1
02:04:40,706 --> 02:04:42,172
Let it be mine
1
02:05:01,060 --> 02:05:04,188
ATTACK !
1
02:05:09,068 --> 02:05:10,034
Stop
1
02:05:10,235 --> 02:05:11,202
Don't fire
1
02:05:11,436 --> 02:05:12,028
Hold your fire
1
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:16,367
l want him alive
1
02:06:17,469 --> 02:06:20,768
To the hospital ! Quick ! He mustn't die
1
02:06:49,335 --> 02:06:54,136
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1
02:06:54,806 --> 02:06:59,800
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1
02:07:00,378 --> 02:07:05,645
The towns are awake, the homes
are abuzz, every village is astir
1
02:07:05,850 --> 02:07:11,482
Valleys awaken and so do their trees,
look, shadows are coming to life !
1
02:07:17,363 --> 02:07:21,163
Nana Saheb, Barrackpore has risen
1
02:07:21,533 --> 02:07:24,161
Soon the fire will spread all across
1
02:07:24,536 --> 02:07:26,503
But Tatya...
1
02:07:26,771 --> 02:07:32,335
Make up your mind Nana Saheb.
Seize the moment or perish
1
02:07:32,543 --> 02:07:38,005
No hand can stem the fire that
rages in people's hearts
1
02:07:38,216 --> 02:07:43,347
Eyes ablaze and spirits aflame,
no head will ever bow again
1
02:07:43,588 --> 02:07:49,027
A changed people fill the streets,
marching into death's embrace
1
02:07:51,063 --> 02:07:53,860
Greetings, Queen Lakshmibai.
- Welcome, Tatya
1
02:07:56,467 --> 02:07:59,868
The time has come,
earlier than we expected
1
02:08:00,072 --> 02:08:04,372
Good. Just what
l've been waiting to hear
1
02:08:04,576 --> 02:08:09,707
Rising like a storm unstoppable,
stirring the land in it's wake
1
02:08:09,914 --> 02:08:15,216
They swear to crush and finally
end this dark age of tyranny
1
02:08:18,756 --> 02:08:23,887
l'm an Emperor only in name.
l am weak, what can l do ?
1
02:08:24,095 --> 02:08:26,222
A giant wave is rising, Your Majesty
1
02:08:27,599 --> 02:08:31,399
lf we don't swim with it, we'll drown
1
02:08:32,104 --> 02:08:42,570
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1
02:08:57,962 --> 02:08:59,259
He will live
1
02:09:12,810 --> 02:09:15,779
There is still hope.
l have spoken to them
1
02:09:16,814 --> 02:09:19,442
lf you tender a public apology,
they will let you live
1
02:09:24,489 --> 02:09:30,121
Just say that it was a mistake
and you're sorry that's all
1
02:09:30,328 --> 02:09:33,126
Or they will hang you
1
02:09:35,833 --> 02:09:41,965
l am not sorry for my actions
and l am not scared to die
1
02:09:43,675 --> 02:09:46,472
So they cannot threaten me
or forgive me
1
02:09:52,583 --> 02:09:53,311
Mangal...
1
02:09:55,020 --> 02:09:57,147
l don't want you to die
1
02:09:58,023 --> 02:10:06,488
This is my fault, l let you do this,
l passed on a lie
1
02:10:09,534 --> 02:10:13,664
Gordon sahib, you did what you
could and l did what l had to
1
02:10:16,375 --> 02:10:17,841
My blood is not on your hands
1
02:10:21,712 --> 02:10:30,177
l've come to realise that what
l did and what l must do...
1
02:10:31,055 --> 02:10:33,683
has nothing to do with
bitting a bullet,
1
02:10:33,891 --> 02:10:37,692
and nothing to do with the
terror of becoming an outcaste
1
02:10:40,064 --> 02:10:45,195
l... believed that Nainsukh was
born an untouchable
1
02:10:53,078 --> 02:10:57,208
Now... we are all untouchables
in our own land
1
02:11:02,087 --> 02:11:09,391
Gordon sahib, our fight is no longer
against grease on a cartridge,
1
02:11:11,930 --> 02:11:16,890
it is for our dignity, our freedom,
1
02:11:18,270 --> 02:11:20,898
our right to hold our head
as high as the next man
1
02:11:25,944 --> 02:11:32,247
You, the lie, the grease...
1
02:11:35,621 --> 02:11:42,753
l'd bite the bullet a hundred times
if it would give my freedom
1
02:11:45,796 --> 02:11:54,602
Mangal for god's sake we have
to stop this thing,
1
02:11:54,805 --> 02:11:57,433
or there will be terrible bloodshed
1
02:12:01,646 --> 02:12:03,113
You don't understand
1
02:12:05,650 --> 02:12:07,278
lndia is rising,
1
02:12:08,319 --> 02:12:10,116
nothing and nobody can stop it,
1
02:12:11,657 --> 02:12:16,617
not even my life
1
02:12:28,073 --> 02:12:29,131
Mangal Pandey...
1
02:12:30,341 --> 02:12:33,310
did you on the 29th of March
incite the other sepoys...
1
02:12:33,511 --> 02:12:36,969
to rebel against the Company ?
1
02:12:39,850 --> 02:12:42,148
Who were the others involved
in this conspiracy ?
1
02:12:47,759 --> 02:12:50,488
On that morning, did you imbibe
any intoxicating drinks ?
1
02:12:50,695 --> 02:12:51,992
This one called bhang, for instance ?
1
02:12:55,367 --> 02:12:59,497
Let the record show that the
accused does not deny this
1
02:13:00,538 --> 02:13:04,872
lt's obvious that the accused
has no interest whatsoever...
1
02:13:04,943 --> 02:13:06,672
in the proceedings
of this court martial. Therefore...
1
02:13:07,578 --> 02:13:10,411
we shall have to rely upon
testimonies of the eye witnesses...
1
02:13:10,582 --> 02:13:14,985
and the officers attacked and wounded
by the accused
1
02:13:28,399 --> 02:13:32,130
You have known Mangal Pandey
for the past seven years ?
1
02:13:33,037 --> 02:13:35,835
l have known him sir,
as a brave soldier and a loyal friend
1
02:13:36,675 --> 02:13:38,699
One of the finest sepoys
to serve under my command
1
02:13:38,976 --> 02:13:42,935
ls it true that on the 29th of March
he attacked and injured you ?
1
02:13:43,681 --> 02:13:46,673
l cannot deny what happened sir,
but l would like you to look...
1
02:13:46,818 --> 02:13:50,720
at the circumstances that led to
his behaviour, - Answer in yes or no...
1
02:13:51,789 --> 02:13:54,725
Yes but the cartridge controversy
and the subsequent events...
1
02:13:54,826 --> 02:13:56,225
Yes or no Captain
1
02:13:56,595 --> 02:13:58,722
Just knowing
what happened is not enough
1
02:13:58,829 --> 02:14:00,296
You have to understand
why it happened
1
02:14:00,399 --> 02:14:01,195
Yes or no !
1
02:14:01,365 --> 02:14:02,162
Yes
1
02:14:03,068 --> 02:14:06,298
ls it not also true that
he subsequently murdered...
1
02:14:06,438 --> 02:14:08,905
two of your fellow officers
and injured four others ?
1
02:14:09,073 --> 02:14:09,903
Yes
1
02:14:10,242 --> 02:14:11,333
That will be all, Captain
1
02:14:11,443 --> 02:14:13,001
No, that will not be all !
1
02:14:15,447 --> 02:14:17,414
You will hear me speak damn it !
1
02:14:19,917 --> 02:14:22,978
Has this company become so blinded
by arrogance and greed that...
1
02:14:23,087 --> 02:14:25,248
it cannot see the danger
that stares it in the face ?
1
02:14:26,425 --> 02:14:29,257
We stand surrounded
by our own army
1
02:14:29,927 --> 02:14:34,091
300,000 armed native soldiers
so disillusioned by our command,
1
02:14:34,231 --> 02:14:37,759
that they are on the verge of mutiny.
And what do we do to pacify them ?
1
02:14:37,935 --> 02:14:39,766
We stoke the fire
of their indignation...
1
02:14:39,938 --> 02:14:42,838
by laughing at their concerns
or suppressing them with brutality
1
02:14:43,507 --> 02:14:47,000
But mark my words, if you hang
this man Mangal Pandey...
1
02:14:47,145 --> 02:14:50,273
there will be rebellion,
bloody rebellion...
1
02:14:50,582 --> 02:14:52,948
that will sweep
through this land like wildfire
1
02:14:53,085 --> 02:14:55,780
A rebellion that will lead
to the end of this Company Raj
1
02:14:55,987 --> 02:14:57,453
Captain, enough !
1
02:14:57,823 --> 02:15:01,782
Gordon tried his best to save Mangal.
1
02:15:01,993 --> 02:15:08,125
He warned that if Mangal Pandey was
hanged there would be a bloody rebellion...
1
02:15:08,332 --> 02:15:10,960
That would put to an end the Company Raj.
1
02:15:11,837 --> 02:15:15,466
But even this warning fell on deaf ears.
1
02:15:33,190 --> 02:15:35,658
They failed to hang him this morning
1
02:15:36,694 --> 02:15:39,322
They have called for a
hangman from Calcutta
1
02:15:40,265 --> 02:15:43,496
They will hang him in public tomorrow,
1
02:15:43,868 --> 02:15:45,836
and make a spectacle of his death
1
02:18:07,512 --> 02:18:12,471
Hearken o' people...
1
02:18:13,183 --> 02:18:14,309
the drum sounds the call
1
02:18:14,519 --> 02:18:15,816
Now awake and arise
1
02:18:16,021 --> 02:18:17,318
From your sleep of ages
1
02:18:22,527 --> 02:18:30,161
Awaken, now awaken
1
02:18:31,036 --> 02:18:34,995
The Earth comes alive
as dawn heralds a new day
1
02:18:35,206 --> 02:18:39,005
Rivers sparkle with new life
and hope rises in oceans anew
1
02:18:48,719 --> 02:19:19,905
Awaken, now awaken
1
02:19:20,218 --> 02:19:24,052
Pay heed to this moment in Time,
1
02:19:24,254 --> 02:19:27,884
though your eyes
disbelieve what they see
1
02:19:28,093 --> 02:19:31,893
A man is leaving this world of man,
1
02:19:32,096 --> 02:19:35,896
see his head held proud and high
1
02:19:36,101 --> 02:19:39,559
Oh how fortunate is the mother,
1
02:19:39,771 --> 02:19:43,900
who gave birth to such a son
1
02:19:44,109 --> 02:19:48,238
So fearless, he shall never die,
1
02:19:48,445 --> 02:19:51,414
even if life is taken from him
1
02:20:21,813 --> 02:20:24,372
With such dignity does
this rebel take leave
1
02:20:24,582 --> 02:20:27,106
every head bows in respect
1
02:20:27,317 --> 02:20:32,516
On his lips the cry of freedom,
his heart's desire for all to see
1
02:20:32,724 --> 02:20:38,253
His eyes see beyond the present,
the dream of his homeland free
1
02:20:38,462 --> 02:20:49,465
You can kill a man but not his dream !
1
02:20:55,513 --> 02:20:57,811
ATTACK !
1
02:21:20,038 --> 02:21:23,166
ATTACK !
1
02:22:04,915 --> 02:22:09,045
And so began the bloodiest
rebellion in human history
1
02:22:09,921 --> 02:22:12,889
The British called it a Sepoy Mutiny
1
02:22:13,091 --> 02:22:17,720
But for the lndians it was the
first war of independence
1
02:22:18,763 --> 02:22:23,393
An officer by the name
Captain William Gordon,
1
02:22:23,601 --> 02:22:25,398
was recorded as having
joined the rebel forces...
1
02:22:25,770 --> 02:22:27,237
and fought against the Company Raj
1
02:22:28,439 --> 02:22:31,067
The rebellion was finally
put down after a year...
1
02:22:31,275 --> 02:22:34,244
but it destroyed the East lndia Company
1
02:22:34,478 --> 02:22:40,576
And the British Crown took over
the governance of lndia
1
02:22:42,352 --> 02:22:46,083
Mangal Pandey in his death
became a hero, a legend...
1
02:22:46,790 --> 02:22:53,923
who inspired a nation to
fight for freedom
1
02:23:09,980 --> 02:23:15,612
The dream of freedom ignited by
Mangal finally came true 90 years later...
1
02:23:16,320 --> 02:23:22,156
on 15th August 1947,
when lndia became free.
