Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:55,834 --> 00:00:57,834
Miss Jinnah.
2
00:00:57,959 --> 00:00:59,376
Doctor.
3
00:01:00,917 --> 00:01:03,376
Steady flight?
4
00:02:25,542 --> 00:02:27,792
- Why have we stopped?
- Engine.
5
00:02:27,917 --> 00:02:30,250
We can fix it.
6
00:02:31,126 --> 00:02:32,959
It's out of petrol. It was spluttering.
7
00:02:33,084 --> 00:02:35,542
- No, no, I'm sure it's engine failure.
- Let's use the car.
8
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:38,126
No. Absolutely not.
You can't move him.
9
00:02:38,251 --> 00:02:41,501
- Colonel Knowles, fetch some petrol.
- Get another ambulance.
10
00:02:41,626 --> 00:02:43,626
Let's go.
11
00:02:55,751 --> 00:02:58,501
Doctor, quickly.
12
00:03:45,209 --> 00:03:48,792
Oh... just put those things
over there... and clear off.
13
00:04:01,584 --> 00:04:04,584
Look, I'm quite happy with pen and paper.
14
00:04:04,709 --> 00:04:07,542
I do not want... Oh...
15
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:11,251
Jinnah Sahab.
Assalamualaikum.
16
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:13,251
- Walaikumasalam.
- Forgive me.
17
00:04:13,376 --> 00:04:17,501
I thought you were one of these
wretched computer wallahs.
18
00:04:17,626 --> 00:04:20,709
They keep sending these
damned machines in from the future.
19
00:04:20,834 --> 00:04:23,834
Excuse me.
20
00:04:25,001 --> 00:04:27,001
Yes?
21
00:04:27,126 --> 00:04:29,584
No. No, no, no.
22
00:04:29,709 --> 00:04:33,334
No appeal. Tell him to go to hell.
23
00:04:35,834 --> 00:04:38,042
You do know where you are...
24
00:04:38,167 --> 00:04:39,917
I have a vague idea.
25
00:04:40,042 --> 00:04:42,876
You've stopped here
so we may decide where to send you.
26
00:04:43,001 --> 00:04:48,251
With all due respect sir, may I know
how you arrive at these decisions?
27
00:04:48,376 --> 00:04:50,959
Ah...
28
00:04:51,084 --> 00:04:53,792
Here. We have everything here.
29
00:04:53,917 --> 00:04:56,709
We've been expecting you.
30
00:04:56,834 --> 00:04:59,209
What...
31
00:04:59,334 --> 00:05:01,334
Oh, no.
32
00:05:01,459 --> 00:05:03,626
They've transferred
every detail of your life
33
00:05:03,751 --> 00:05:06,084
into these wretched computers.
34
00:05:06,209 --> 00:05:08,501
No one here knows how to use them.
35
00:05:08,626 --> 00:05:13,542
And the manuals are written in
God knows what language.
36
00:05:18,334 --> 00:05:20,084
Your file's gone.
37
00:05:21,167 --> 00:05:23,251
As it is, we're overworked.
38
00:05:23,376 --> 00:05:26,542
We've had lots of trouble
with your century.
39
00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:30,626
World wars, revolutions, communism,
capitalism, fascism,
40
00:05:30,751 --> 00:05:32,959
this ism and that ism.
41
00:05:33,084 --> 00:05:36,251
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-tung.
42
00:05:36,376 --> 00:05:38,709
Mr Harry Truman and his nuclear bomb.
43
00:05:38,834 --> 00:05:40,209
Yes...
44
00:05:40,334 --> 00:05:43,167
We've had a very busy time here.
45
00:05:44,584 --> 00:05:47,001
And where did you send them?
46
00:05:47,126 --> 00:05:49,126
I can't even remember.
47
00:05:51,042 --> 00:05:54,042
The problem you fellows pose
is desperate.
48
00:05:55,251 --> 00:05:57,626
You create Pakistan...
49
00:05:57,751 --> 00:06:01,126
and millions die
in the division of what was one country
50
00:06:01,251 --> 00:06:02,876
into two pieces.
51
00:06:03,001 --> 00:06:05,834
There was no other way. None.
52
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:09,417
Maybe. Maybe.
53
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:11,126
Please, follow me, Mr Jinnah.
54
00:06:18,417 --> 00:06:22,126
I did everything I could
to stop the slaughter.
55
00:06:22,251 --> 00:06:24,501
I fought for Pakistan.
56
00:06:24,626 --> 00:06:30,209
So that 100 million people
could live in safety and dignity.
57
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:34,667
I've got an hour and a half
to prepare your case.
58
00:06:35,542 --> 00:06:37,917
What are the charges?
59
00:06:38,042 --> 00:06:42,792
They accuse you of being ambitious,
arrogant, humourless, stubborn.
60
00:06:42,917 --> 00:06:46,292
A man without charm, a bully.
61
00:06:46,417 --> 00:06:48,126
They say you used people.
62
00:06:48,251 --> 00:06:52,667
I had no ambition. Except for
the safety of the Muslims of India.
63
00:06:54,001 --> 00:06:56,876
I had no stubbornness or arrogance,
64
00:06:57,001 --> 00:07:00,417
except that which was required of me,
to face my enemies.
65
00:07:02,001 --> 00:07:06,501
And I died a million deaths, myself,
for all those who suffered
66
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:07,751
through Partition.
67
00:07:07,876 --> 00:07:10,959
No, Jinnah Sahab, just the facts.
68
00:07:11,084 --> 00:07:14,167
Facts? What facts?
69
00:07:14,292 --> 00:07:18,292
You've lost the books.
You don't understand the machines.
70
00:07:18,876 --> 00:07:21,876
Oh... I see what you mean.
71
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:25,292
Well...
72
00:07:25,417 --> 00:07:29,251
There is, of course,
the eternal shortcut.
73
00:07:30,167 --> 00:07:35,584
'At Harrow, we got into the habit
of calling everyone 'sir'.
74
00:07:35,709 --> 00:07:37,751
'I called my father 'sir'.'
75
00:07:37,876 --> 00:07:41,376
I called my mother 'sir'. Everyone.
76
00:07:41,501 --> 00:07:45,376
It's a great British tradition.
When in doubt, call them 'sir'.
77
00:07:45,501 --> 00:07:47,417
I'll suggest it to Dickie.
78
00:07:47,542 --> 00:07:49,876
He only calls you Panditji
to annoy Jinnah.
79
00:07:50,001 --> 00:07:52,876
It's difficult, isn't it?
80
00:07:53,001 --> 00:07:56,167
And what do we call Gandhi?
Mahatma. Bapu...
81
00:07:56,292 --> 00:07:59,251
Gandhiji... Mr Gandhi.
82
00:07:59,376 --> 00:08:02,792
He has more names than a character
in a Russian novel.
83
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:04,917
Perhaps it's best to behave
like a good Indian wife.
84
00:08:05,042 --> 00:08:06,751
They don't call their husbands anything.
85
00:08:06,876 --> 00:08:09,792
Just nudge 'em.
86
00:08:09,917 --> 00:08:12,959
And what do you think
of Western civilisation, Mr Nehru?
87
00:08:13,084 --> 00:08:16,876
'Oh, I think it would be
an excellent idea.'
88
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:23,126
That's private!
89
00:08:26,626 --> 00:08:29,167
You're not happy, are you,
Jawaharlal?
90
00:08:29,292 --> 00:08:31,584
You want the British... us...
91
00:08:31,709 --> 00:08:34,959
to go, but you don't want
the bond to be broken.
92
00:08:35,084 --> 00:08:38,709
What the British have left us
will last a long time.
93
00:08:38,834 --> 00:08:42,501
- In people like you?
- Oh, I'm proud of it.
94
00:08:42,626 --> 00:08:45,584
Did Mr Jinnah
go to Oxford or Cambridge?
95
00:08:45,709 --> 00:08:47,084
No, he didn't.
96
00:08:47,209 --> 00:08:50,417
Er, but he was called to the bar
in London.
97
00:08:50,542 --> 00:08:55,542
And I'm told he even did
a stint as Romeo on a London stage.
98
00:08:59,167 --> 00:09:03,042
"It was not the lark
but the nightingale
99
00:09:03,167 --> 00:09:05,501
"who..."
100
00:09:05,626 --> 00:09:08,417
"...who..."
Who forgot the rest.
101
00:09:08,542 --> 00:09:11,792
Oh, Jawaharlal, you're lying.
He never played Shakespeare.
102
00:09:11,917 --> 00:09:13,709
No, it's true!
103
00:09:13,834 --> 00:09:17,001
It's funny. He seemed so proper
when we first met him in Delhi.
104
00:09:17,126 --> 00:09:19,917
His propriety doesn't bother us.
105
00:09:20,042 --> 00:09:24,167
His stubbornness, vaingloriousness...
106
00:09:24,292 --> 00:09:26,501
Wait till the discussions begin.
107
00:09:26,626 --> 00:09:29,167
Dickie's in for a surprise.
108
00:09:29,292 --> 00:09:33,001
I know he thinks
he's the Great Persuader.
109
00:09:33,126 --> 00:09:37,667
Jinnah is the Great Unpersuadable.
110
00:09:39,626 --> 00:09:42,376
The Great Unpersuadable?
111
00:09:43,459 --> 00:09:46,376
Divide the country in two?
112
00:09:46,501 --> 00:09:48,417
Muslims on one side,
113
00:09:48,542 --> 00:09:50,209
Hindus on the other?
114
00:09:53,876 --> 00:09:56,251
Mr Jinnah...
115
00:09:56,376 --> 00:09:58,626
that is madness.
116
00:09:59,751 --> 00:10:01,417
Lord Mountbatten...
117
00:10:01,542 --> 00:10:04,917
It would be equally insane
to leave a Muslim minority
118
00:10:05,042 --> 00:10:09,042
at the mercy of a Hindu majority,
many of whom hate us.
119
00:10:09,167 --> 00:10:12,001
- Now, if the English parliament...
- The prime minister...
120
00:10:12,126 --> 00:10:14,167
has given me full powers.
I decide.
121
00:10:14,292 --> 00:10:17,959
That's why I'm here.
As representative of the King Emperor.
122
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:20,501
Whom we respect.
123
00:10:22,626 --> 00:10:26,542
And I am here a representative
of a Muslim nation,
124
00:10:26,667 --> 00:10:30,626
whom you must learn to respect.
125
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:44,417
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
126
00:10:44,542 --> 00:10:46,626
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
127
00:10:46,751 --> 00:10:48,667
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
128
00:10:48,792 --> 00:10:50,792
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
129
00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:52,834
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
130
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:54,959
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
131
00:10:55,084 --> 00:10:57,167
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
132
00:10:57,292 --> 00:10:58,584
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
133
00:10:58,709 --> 00:11:03,209
Mr Jinnah, what did Lord Mountbatten
think of the Pakistan demand?
134
00:11:03,334 --> 00:11:05,626
I suggest you ask him.
135
00:11:05,751 --> 00:11:08,084
I do not speak for the King Emperor.
136
00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:11,792
Jinnah Sahab.
We were told that you are... humourless.
137
00:11:11,917 --> 00:11:14,542
Oh, really?
It's that fellow again.
138
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:17,167
He's a member of the Congress Party.
139
00:11:17,292 --> 00:11:20,751
Because I don't laugh at his jokes,
he goes around spreading this rumour.
140
00:11:23,417 --> 00:11:28,792
You call yourself Muslim and you parade
your respected sister in front of crowds,
141
00:11:28,917 --> 00:11:30,251
shamelessly?
142
00:11:30,376 --> 00:11:36,126
Islam stands for equality
for men and women, Maulana Sahab.
143
00:11:36,251 --> 00:11:40,084
And the women in the family of
the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him,
144
00:11:40,209 --> 00:11:42,501
were active in public life.
145
00:11:46,876 --> 00:11:51,876
Oh, no. They've followed me here.
Bloody fools!
146
00:11:59,792 --> 00:12:02,876
Your Ladyship. Mr Nehru, sir.
His Excellency has asked me to...
147
00:12:03,001 --> 00:12:05,292
Porrit, I said I didn't need...
148
00:12:05,417 --> 00:12:07,626
His Excellency's orders, milady.
149
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:16,709
So...
150
00:12:16,834 --> 00:12:19,876
- Dickie knows where you are.
- No, Jawaharlal.
151
00:12:20,001 --> 00:12:22,834
Dickie knows where we are.
152
00:12:26,834 --> 00:12:30,834
- Goodbye, Mr Nehru.
- Lady Mountbatten.
153
00:12:33,626 --> 00:12:37,417
- How many were hurt?
- Eight people badly burnt.
154
00:12:37,542 --> 00:12:40,126
We had a feast prepared for Eid, miss.
155
00:12:40,251 --> 00:12:42,334
The Hindus rushed in,
with stones and sticks,
156
00:12:42,459 --> 00:12:45,042
shouting:
"Kill the cow murderers!"
157
00:12:45,167 --> 00:12:47,334
The residents
of this settlement
158
00:12:47,459 --> 00:12:50,501
will move out of this area.
159
00:12:50,626 --> 00:12:54,334
My orders are from local magistrate.
160
00:12:54,459 --> 00:12:56,584
These people need your protection.
161
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:58,167
And who are you?
162
00:12:58,292 --> 00:13:00,751
They have sent Hindu policemen.
163
00:13:00,876 --> 00:13:05,626
- These are illegal squatters.
- We have lived here 20 years.
164
00:13:05,751 --> 00:13:07,334
Encroached on the land.
165
00:13:07,459 --> 00:13:09,959
You politicians better get out.
166
00:13:10,084 --> 00:13:13,042
- Sir, do you know who...?
- It doesn't matter who I am.
167
00:13:13,167 --> 00:13:17,709
These people are not moving until you
escort them to a proper relief camp.
168
00:13:17,834 --> 00:13:19,251
Arrest these people.
169
00:13:19,376 --> 00:13:22,042
My apologies again, Miss Jinnah.
170
00:13:22,167 --> 00:13:25,709
I assure you we have evacuated
the whole neighbourhood
171
00:13:25,834 --> 00:13:29,042
to temporary accommodation
in army barracks.
172
00:13:29,167 --> 00:13:31,584
Yes, thank you.
173
00:13:33,334 --> 00:13:35,751
My apologies again.
174
00:13:43,792 --> 00:13:46,667
Arresting Miss Jinnah.
175
00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:48,667
You damn fool!
176
00:13:48,792 --> 00:13:52,209
Allahu Akbar.
177
00:14:38,709 --> 00:14:42,209
Nowhere is safe.
It's even worse in the Punjab.
178
00:14:42,334 --> 00:14:46,126
The Bihar Muslim League is reporting
countless incidents of arson
179
00:14:46,251 --> 00:14:48,876
and murder,
against Muslim communities.
180
00:14:49,001 --> 00:14:51,709
And the police here just turn their backs.
181
00:14:51,834 --> 00:14:56,042
All over the country, Hindu officers
have taken charge of the police forces...
182
00:14:56,167 --> 00:14:59,251
Are you all right?
183
00:14:59,376 --> 00:15:02,376
Yes, I think the fever's going.
184
00:15:05,042 --> 00:15:08,667
That poor girl.
She gave up her life for you.
185
00:15:08,792 --> 00:15:11,126
Fatima, my little sister?
186
00:15:11,251 --> 00:15:13,001
She was everything to me.
187
00:15:14,292 --> 00:15:18,084
She should've been married, and found
happiness with a husband and children.
188
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:20,542
In some decent family.
189
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:24,001
She was my companion,
my friend,
190
00:15:24,126 --> 00:15:26,001
and my guide.
191
00:15:26,126 --> 00:15:29,001
And she believed in Pakistan.
192
00:15:30,917 --> 00:15:33,042
Were you ever jealous of Nehruji?
193
00:15:33,167 --> 00:15:37,626
His good looks, his wit, his charm,
his English manners.
194
00:15:37,751 --> 00:15:39,876
He was my political opponent.
195
00:15:40,001 --> 00:15:43,001
I respected him,
though I never really trusted him.
196
00:15:43,126 --> 00:15:45,792
- And Gandhiji?
- Another worthy opponent.
197
00:15:45,917 --> 00:15:47,917
But he would never lie.
198
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:51,751
Though, as a politician,
he would not always tell the truth.
199
00:16:13,001 --> 00:16:15,542
Gandhiji, will you meet with Mr Jinnah
in Simla?
200
00:16:15,667 --> 00:16:18,584
It is always a pleasure to meet Mr Jinnah.
201
00:16:19,334 --> 00:16:22,001
Mr Gandhi, Mr Gandhi.
Are we near the end?
202
00:16:22,126 --> 00:16:26,709
I would prefer to say
close to a new beginning, my son.
203
00:16:33,542 --> 00:16:35,126
Ah...
204
00:16:37,751 --> 00:16:40,959
- Gandhiji.
- Viceroy.
205
00:16:43,626 --> 00:16:47,959
I feel like the mother in
the "Judgement of Solomon".
206
00:16:48,084 --> 00:16:52,084
Give the child to the other woman,
but don't cut it in two.
207
00:16:53,376 --> 00:16:59,001
Together, we must make one last effort
to keep this great nation as one.
208
00:16:59,126 --> 00:17:03,334
Muslims and Hindus
in one free country.
209
00:17:03,459 --> 00:17:07,209
Gandhiji, I'm willing to try.
210
00:17:07,334 --> 00:17:12,001
Years ago, Viceroy,
Mr Jinnah was the greatest advocate
211
00:17:12,126 --> 00:17:13,792
of Hindu-Muslim unity.
212
00:17:13,917 --> 00:17:17,626
Was he, indeed?
Well, then, what changed him?
213
00:17:17,751 --> 00:17:21,626
- Blind ambition.
- No, no.
214
00:17:21,751 --> 00:17:25,959
The feeling that Muslims
would have no voice... perhaps.
215
00:17:26,834 --> 00:17:31,501
Gandhiji, if you were in my position,
what would you say to Jinnah?
216
00:17:31,626 --> 00:17:34,959
I would say, "Mr Jinnah,
217
00:17:35,084 --> 00:17:37,834
"India must stay united.
218
00:17:37,959 --> 00:17:42,501
"You be its first prime minister
and choose your cabinet."
219
00:17:42,626 --> 00:17:46,792
And tell him that Congress agrees.
They suggested it.
220
00:17:47,709 --> 00:17:51,209
But, Babu...
what are you saying?
221
00:17:51,334 --> 00:17:52,959
Our party would never agree.
222
00:17:53,084 --> 00:17:56,751
Jawaharlal, you mean
you would never agree?
223
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:59,167
For the unity of India?
224
00:17:59,292 --> 00:18:00,792
Well, yes, but...
225
00:18:00,917 --> 00:18:06,084
Making Jinnah, from
a minority Muslim party, prime minister?
226
00:18:06,209 --> 00:18:09,334
We would ensure, of course,
that you would be deputy prime minister.
227
00:18:09,459 --> 00:18:11,084
But our party...
228
00:18:11,209 --> 00:18:15,084
But if Gandhiji and you
and Sardar Patel declare in favour,
229
00:18:15,209 --> 00:18:16,334
who is to say no?
230
00:18:16,459 --> 00:18:18,251
Except, of course, Jinnah.
231
00:18:18,376 --> 00:18:19,959
You think he'll agree?
232
00:18:20,084 --> 00:18:22,251
Why would he not?
233
00:18:22,376 --> 00:18:25,084
All right, Bapuji. What would he say?
234
00:18:25,209 --> 00:18:27,834
If I told him that Gandhi made the offer?
235
00:18:30,126 --> 00:18:34,459
He would say: "Wily old Gandhi!"
236
00:19:07,167 --> 00:19:09,584
- Letter for Jinnah Sahab.
-Thank you.
237
00:19:22,126 --> 00:19:26,167
Dinner. Lady Mountbatten. Tomorrow.
238
00:19:26,292 --> 00:19:30,584
You can't offer it to Jinnah.
The country won't accept it.
239
00:19:30,709 --> 00:19:34,834
- We've never even put him in jail.
- I could start now.
240
00:19:34,959 --> 00:19:38,334
Nehru's been in for years,
defying the British.
241
00:19:38,459 --> 00:19:39,751
Jinnah does it more subtly.
242
00:19:39,876 --> 00:19:43,917
I'd no idea Gandhiji was so cynical.
It'll never work.
243
00:19:44,042 --> 00:19:47,001
What you mean is,
what will our Jawaharlal do?
244
00:19:47,126 --> 00:19:49,751
He has to be prime minister, doesn't' he?
245
00:19:49,876 --> 00:19:51,251
Yes.
246
00:19:51,709 --> 00:19:57,126
'He's the great rising star
in our firmament. A man of destiny.
247
00:19:57,251 --> 00:19:59,876
'But will it make sense
to give it to Jinnah?
248
00:20:00,001 --> 00:20:01,667
'Gandhiji didn't mean it.
249
00:20:01,792 --> 00:20:04,709
Yes, he does. And it's a great plan.
250
00:20:04,834 --> 00:20:08,167
Give Jinnah the biggest responsibility
in an undivided nation,
251
00:20:08,292 --> 00:20:09,542
what can he do?
252
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:12,709
He has to appoint a majority congress
to a cabinet.
253
00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:16,001
I've seen it before. Make
the biggest bounder the head prefect.
254
00:20:17,167 --> 00:20:19,834
The country'll never forgive you.
255
00:20:19,959 --> 00:20:21,876
You mean,
Jawaharlal will never forgive you.
256
00:20:22,001 --> 00:20:24,751
Or you.
And you couldn't live with that.
257
00:20:25,876 --> 00:20:30,126
Dickie, it isn't only me.
You're in love with power.
258
00:20:30,251 --> 00:20:32,876
And Jawaharlal is the embodiment of it.
259
00:20:34,417 --> 00:20:36,792
So... what will you do?
260
00:20:36,917 --> 00:20:37,959
I don't know.
261
00:20:38,084 --> 00:20:39,501
But I'm tempted.
262
00:20:39,626 --> 00:20:43,042
If these Indian politicians carry on
like this, I'll foist Jinnah on them.
263
00:20:43,167 --> 00:20:46,709
It's what they deserve.
A sour, spoilt barrack-room lawyer.
264
00:20:48,001 --> 00:20:49,626
Gurdip Singh.
265
00:20:51,501 --> 00:20:53,834
Not very dignified.
266
00:21:01,459 --> 00:21:03,542
'Of course,
I was in love with India.'
267
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:05,876
I saved it from the Japs.
268
00:21:06,001 --> 00:21:08,501
Edwina will tell you,
we longed to come back.
269
00:21:08,626 --> 00:21:10,709
You can imagine how I felt.
270
00:21:10,834 --> 00:21:13,417
The King called me and said:
271
00:21:13,542 --> 00:21:16,251
"Go to India. Give it all away."
272
00:21:16,376 --> 00:21:19,417
Can you give away
what never really belonged to you?
273
00:21:19,542 --> 00:21:22,376
You're right. We don't own it.
274
00:21:22,501 --> 00:21:24,876
We hold it in trust.
275
00:21:25,001 --> 00:21:27,626
My predecessor, Wavell,
told me a funny story.
276
00:21:27,751 --> 00:21:30,251
When he first landed in India,
the crowds greeted him with
277
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:34,501
"Pakistan Zindabad! Pakistan Zindabad!"
278
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:36,876
He knew even less Urdu than I do.
279
00:21:37,001 --> 00:21:39,917
So he turned to his aide and said,
"What are they saying?"
280
00:21:40,042 --> 00:21:42,501
Whereupon, quick as a flash,
the aide translates:
281
00:21:42,626 --> 00:21:45,001
"Oh, they're saying,
'Pakistan's in the bag!"'
282
00:21:45,126 --> 00:21:47,959
You see? "Zindabad". "In the bag".
283
00:21:48,084 --> 00:21:50,792
Ha-ha-ha.
284
00:21:52,084 --> 00:21:53,959
With all the tension in the country,
285
00:21:54,084 --> 00:21:56,584
I don't think we have
a great deal to laugh about.
286
00:21:56,709 --> 00:22:00,042
Perhaps not.
These are, by any measure,
287
00:22:00,167 --> 00:22:03,584
difficult times,
with difficult decisions ahead.
288
00:22:04,626 --> 00:22:06,417
May I take this informal occasion
289
00:22:06,542 --> 00:22:08,334
to make a very serious proposal?
290
00:22:09,251 --> 00:22:11,626
Dickie... should the ladies withdraw?
291
00:22:11,751 --> 00:22:14,334
No. Stay.
292
00:22:16,251 --> 00:22:19,834
Suppose, Mr Jinnah,
I were to say to you,
293
00:22:19,959 --> 00:22:24,667
let's have a united India,
with a democratic constitution,
294
00:22:24,792 --> 00:22:26,876
and the first prime minister of India,
295
00:22:27,001 --> 00:22:29,584
completely free
to choose his own cabinet,
296
00:22:29,709 --> 00:22:31,167
would be Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
297
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:34,167
What would you say?
298
00:22:34,292 --> 00:22:37,751
The Hindus, the Congress Party,
would never agree.
299
00:22:37,876 --> 00:22:40,209
Suppose I tell you they have?
300
00:22:40,334 --> 00:22:42,751
It was, in fact, Gandhi's idea.
301
00:22:44,584 --> 00:22:47,001
Wily old Gandhi.
302
00:22:48,626 --> 00:22:52,667
- Well?
- Well, Viceroy, it's a clever ruse.
303
00:22:52,792 --> 00:22:54,751
- Give a dog a bone...
- No, no.
304
00:22:54,876 --> 00:22:57,751
Let us say that Mr Jinnah
is the best man for the job.
305
00:22:57,876 --> 00:22:59,709
And the best choice available.
306
00:22:59,834 --> 00:23:02,167
Do you expect me to be flattered?
307
00:23:02,292 --> 00:23:04,959
Perhaps even to accept?
308
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:07,751
The brutal truth, Lord Mountbatten,
is that the Hindus
309
00:23:07,876 --> 00:23:10,501
have three votes to our one.
310
00:23:10,626 --> 00:23:13,251
You think they will accept that?
311
00:23:13,376 --> 00:23:16,376
Democracy. One man, one vote,
312
00:23:16,501 --> 00:23:18,876
without any safeguards,
313
00:23:19,001 --> 00:23:22,126
will turn the Muslims
into frightened, insecure,
314
00:23:22,251 --> 00:23:25,084
second-class citizens.
315
00:23:25,209 --> 00:23:28,792
With our religion, our culture,
our language, our very lives
316
00:23:28,917 --> 00:23:30,001
under threat.
317
00:23:30,126 --> 00:23:33,459
We can discuss building in
some safeguards. Assurances.
318
00:23:33,584 --> 00:23:35,709
What assurances, Lord Mountbatten?
319
00:23:35,834 --> 00:23:40,334
Why do you want to force
reluctant partners into a marriage?
320
00:23:40,459 --> 00:23:44,376
Our customs, our food. We can't
even drink out of the same glass.
321
00:23:45,209 --> 00:23:49,209
You don't yet understand
why we want to create Pakistan.
322
00:23:50,167 --> 00:23:52,709
Both communities have suffered,
Mr Jinnah.
323
00:23:52,834 --> 00:23:55,376
Yes, they have.
324
00:23:55,501 --> 00:23:57,376
And they must be separated.
325
00:23:57,501 --> 00:24:00,042
Why didn't you accept it?
326
00:24:00,167 --> 00:24:02,709
Folly of the highest degree.
327
00:24:02,834 --> 00:24:04,917
You could've saved millions of lives.
328
00:24:05,042 --> 00:24:07,876
Millions of homes. There would've been
none of this misery.
329
00:24:08,001 --> 00:24:11,709
You think I took this decision lightly?
330
00:24:11,834 --> 00:24:13,876
Here I was,
being offered the prime-ministership
331
00:24:14,001 --> 00:24:18,001
of the largest new free nation on Earth,
and I turned it down.
332
00:24:19,084 --> 00:24:20,834
Because it wouldn't work.
333
00:24:23,209 --> 00:24:25,376
You should've stayed in Simla.
334
00:24:25,501 --> 00:24:29,501
And in bed. You can't
play fast and loose with bronchitis.
335
00:24:30,334 --> 00:24:32,709
Not even if a country is at stake?
336
00:24:32,834 --> 00:24:35,834
There will be no country without you,
Jinnah Sahab.
337
00:24:42,751 --> 00:24:45,667
It's not bronchitis.
338
00:24:47,667 --> 00:24:48,959
No.
339
00:24:50,751 --> 00:24:52,834
It's consumption, isn't it?
340
00:24:55,792 --> 00:24:57,417
Yes.
341
00:24:59,876 --> 00:25:02,542
Leading to deterioration.
342
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:04,667
And death.
343
00:25:06,709 --> 00:25:08,334
Yes.
344
00:25:12,834 --> 00:25:14,542
Doctor...
345
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:18,209
we must keep this between ourselves.
346
00:25:18,334 --> 00:25:22,126
Think of the potential consequences.
347
00:25:24,292 --> 00:25:27,126
I've never lied to him before, Doctor.
348
00:25:27,251 --> 00:25:30,251
And now I have to pretend
that I don't know.
349
00:25:34,917 --> 00:25:36,917
You must get him to rest.
350
00:26:13,001 --> 00:26:16,167
Fatima, were you jealous of Ruttie?
351
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:18,542
No.
352
00:26:18,667 --> 00:26:22,126
Of course I wasn't jealous of her.
353
00:26:22,251 --> 00:26:24,751
That pretty creature.
354
00:26:24,876 --> 00:26:27,834
So stunningly pretty and young.
355
00:26:28,626 --> 00:26:31,834
'Young enough to be your daughter.'
356
00:26:32,876 --> 00:26:35,626
But she didn't look after you,
did she?
357
00:26:35,751 --> 00:26:39,084
She wasn't interested in the same things.
358
00:26:39,209 --> 00:26:43,501
And she could never look down
the long road of your destiny.
359
00:26:43,626 --> 00:26:45,501
As I can.
360
00:26:45,626 --> 00:26:48,417
- I'll race you back.
- You'll lose again.
361
00:27:00,126 --> 00:27:02,959
A great setting for the beginning of love.
362
00:27:04,376 --> 00:27:05,834
Yes, it was.
363
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:10,376
And then love faded away?
364
00:27:10,501 --> 00:27:13,417
Mine never did.
365
00:27:13,542 --> 00:27:18,167
Mm. I can see that you'd run away
from the gates of heaven
366
00:27:18,292 --> 00:27:20,917
to catch a last glimpse of her.
367
00:27:27,584 --> 00:27:30,417
'Being neither Hindu nor Muslim,'
368
00:27:30,542 --> 00:27:34,667
we Parsees can only benefit if
the two main communities stop fighting.
369
00:27:34,792 --> 00:27:38,709
I agree, sir. And share their culture
and their... Indian-ness.
370
00:27:39,626 --> 00:27:42,751
Jinnah, dear boy.
You are young and idealistic.
371
00:27:42,876 --> 00:27:47,626
The only solution is the closest contact.
Interracial marriage.
372
00:27:47,751 --> 00:27:50,792
Then the children will be neither
Hindu nor Muslim,
373
00:27:50,917 --> 00:27:53,292
and these differences will fall away.
374
00:27:53,417 --> 00:27:57,376
So, Hindu-Muslim marriage
would be beneficial?
375
00:27:57,501 --> 00:27:58,959
Most certainly.
376
00:27:59,084 --> 00:28:01,751
And what, sir, do you think
of intermarriage between a Parsee girl
377
00:28:01,876 --> 00:28:05,042
and a Muslim man?
378
00:28:05,167 --> 00:28:07,292
If their status were compatible?
379
00:28:16,126 --> 00:28:18,917
Mr Jinnah. How dare you, sir!
380
00:28:19,042 --> 00:28:21,626
You have abused my hospitality.
381
00:28:21,751 --> 00:28:25,876
I will remind you that my daughter is 16.
A mere child.
382
00:28:27,542 --> 00:28:31,292
Sir, I deny any such intention.
383
00:28:31,417 --> 00:28:33,834
But I apologise for any offence
I may have caused...
384
00:28:34,709 --> 00:28:36,667
and will relieve you
of the feeling...
385
00:28:36,792 --> 00:28:39,501
that your generous hospitality...
386
00:28:39,626 --> 00:28:41,626
has been abused.
387
00:28:51,376 --> 00:28:52,792
You may retire.
388
00:28:52,917 --> 00:28:56,501
I shall see you in the library,
after dinner.
389
00:28:56,626 --> 00:28:59,167
And you will never see that man again!
390
00:28:59,292 --> 00:29:02,001
...Muslim, 24 years old, medically fit.
391
00:29:02,126 --> 00:29:06,959
More like a Kashmiri to me.
We'll take him anyway.
392
00:29:16,542 --> 00:29:20,959
Mr President. Good morning, sir.
I trust you are well.
393
00:29:23,751 --> 00:29:26,626
We have come to join the British Army.
394
00:29:26,751 --> 00:29:28,126
Mr Jinnah.
395
00:29:28,251 --> 00:29:31,001
I warn you that any interruption, here,
of recruitment,
396
00:29:31,126 --> 00:29:34,501
will be seen as a riotous disturbance.
397
00:29:34,626 --> 00:29:37,376
No need for your threats, sir.
398
00:29:37,501 --> 00:29:42,501
As Indians, we simply demand
that we be recruited to the King's service.
399
00:29:42,626 --> 00:29:44,584
As fully commissioned officers.
400
00:29:47,209 --> 00:29:50,417
This form of exhibition
will get you nowhere.
401
00:29:50,542 --> 00:29:55,792
If Indians are being asked
to shed their blood for the Empire,
402
00:29:55,917 --> 00:30:01,126
then why can't we be given the dignity
of joining the army at all levels?
403
00:30:01,251 --> 00:30:03,959
Or are we just cannon fodder?
404
00:30:06,126 --> 00:30:08,584
I declare the proceedings for today
to be over.
405
00:30:08,709 --> 00:30:10,542
Your reply, sir!
406
00:30:32,834 --> 00:30:34,917
Mr Jinnah!
407
00:30:40,834 --> 00:30:43,167
I'm 18 today.
408
00:30:56,042 --> 00:30:58,501
I've left home.
409
00:31:18,417 --> 00:31:20,417
In the name of God,
the Most Gracious, the Most merciful.
410
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:28,501
Repeat the kalma after me.
411
00:31:30,459 --> 00:31:33,709
There is no God but Allah
412
00:31:33,834 --> 00:31:36,501
and Muhammad is his prophet.
413
00:31:38,334 --> 00:31:43,334
There is no God but Allah
and Muhammad is his prophet.
414
00:31:49,084 --> 00:31:53,334
Our beloved daughter Rattanbai,
we welcome you
415
00:31:53,459 --> 00:31:55,917
to the faith of Islam.
416
00:31:56,459 --> 00:31:58,709
Now, daughter,
417
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:02,959
do you accept this man,
Muhammad Ali Jinnah,
418
00:32:03,084 --> 00:32:07,501
to be your lawful husband
in the sight of God?
419
00:32:08,834 --> 00:32:13,834
I accept, I accept, I accept.
420
00:32:20,917 --> 00:32:23,917
Mr and Mrs Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
421
00:32:27,876 --> 00:32:31,251
Delighted, Mr Jinnah. Delighted.
422
00:32:31,376 --> 00:32:34,042
- Mr Jinnah.
- And Mrs Jinnah.
423
00:32:34,167 --> 00:32:36,501
I must confess,
your reputation as Bombay's beauty,
424
00:32:36,626 --> 00:32:38,709
is not exaggerated.
425
00:32:38,834 --> 00:32:44,334
Yes, indeed. You and Mr Jinnah
deserve to delight in it.
426
00:32:44,459 --> 00:32:46,376
Thank you.
427
00:32:46,501 --> 00:32:50,001
I'd rather be known as
the strongest nationalist in Bombay.
428
00:32:50,126 --> 00:32:54,209
I thought we'd put politics behind us,
this evening, Mrs Jinnah.
429
00:32:54,334 --> 00:32:57,334
We are so pleased
you were able to join us.
430
00:33:01,292 --> 00:33:05,042
You live above us, don't you,
Mr Jinnah? Atop the hill.
431
00:33:05,167 --> 00:33:07,626
Yes.
With a view of the Arabian Sea.
432
00:33:07,751 --> 00:33:11,292
The same vast expanse
we see from our Karachi house.
433
00:33:11,417 --> 00:33:13,459
Oh, how lucky.
434
00:33:13,584 --> 00:33:15,792
We've never been to Karachi.
435
00:33:17,001 --> 00:33:20,959
And the weather there...
Changeable?
436
00:33:21,084 --> 00:33:22,542
I was... saying to Mrs Jinnah,
437
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:25,417
the weather in Bombay
is quite changeable.
438
00:33:25,542 --> 00:33:27,334
Would you bring Mrs Jinnah a shawl?
439
00:33:28,376 --> 00:33:31,334
We never think of heating the house.
440
00:33:31,459 --> 00:33:33,876
You must be feeling quite chilly, my dear.
441
00:33:34,001 --> 00:33:38,917
When Mrs Jinnah feels the cold,
she will ask for a wrap herself.
442
00:33:39,042 --> 00:33:40,501
Spare yourself the trouble.
443
00:33:42,542 --> 00:33:44,542
I won't stand in their way.
Let them go.
444
00:33:45,792 --> 00:33:49,459
How dare she dress like that
at my table!
445
00:33:49,584 --> 00:33:54,126
I don't believe Mr Jinnah
will go very far, with that attitude.
446
00:33:54,251 --> 00:33:57,917
We must make two pledges.
447
00:33:58,042 --> 00:34:00,792
The first...
448
00:34:00,917 --> 00:34:04,042
The first is that we stand united,
449
00:34:04,167 --> 00:34:07,209
Hindus and Muslims,
450
00:34:07,334 --> 00:34:11,334
for an India
free from imperial British rule.
451
00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:19,501
The second is that we must act
in a constitutional way.
452
00:34:20,959 --> 00:34:23,959
We place our just...
453
00:34:39,084 --> 00:34:42,167
We place our just demands.
454
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:45,917
Because only in this way...
455
00:34:47,209 --> 00:34:50,626
...by treading the path of dignity...
456
00:34:51,917 --> 00:34:55,292
...can we take our place as Free India,
457
00:34:55,417 --> 00:34:59,584
among the civilised and great nations.
458
00:35:01,542 --> 00:35:03,084
Ladies and gentlemen,
459
00:35:03,209 --> 00:35:05,209
I move the motion.
460
00:35:12,626 --> 00:35:17,126
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Mr Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
461
00:35:38,001 --> 00:35:42,209
I am very happy to be with you today.
462
00:35:42,334 --> 00:35:47,334
I am even happier to see that you have,
as your chief spokesman,
463
00:35:47,459 --> 00:35:50,251
of Hindu-Muslim unity,
464
00:35:50,376 --> 00:35:52,917
the distinguished Mr Jinnah,
465
00:35:53,042 --> 00:35:56,042
from the Minority Community.
466
00:35:56,876 --> 00:35:59,751
I wish to lend my support
467
00:35:59,876 --> 00:36:02,917
to everything Mr Jinnah says.
468
00:36:03,834 --> 00:36:09,001
He said we must act
in a constitutional way.
469
00:36:09,126 --> 00:36:12,917
He means we must play by the rules.
470
00:36:13,042 --> 00:36:15,792
We can only play by the rules
471
00:36:15,917 --> 00:36:18,167
if we are included in the game.
472
00:36:27,959 --> 00:36:30,417
I welcome the fact
473
00:36:30,542 --> 00:36:34,834
that Mr Jinnah speaks of dignity.
474
00:36:34,959 --> 00:36:39,626
India has an ancient, unshakeable dignity
475
00:36:39,751 --> 00:36:41,751
and an ancient spirit.
476
00:36:41,876 --> 00:36:44,876
A force of spiritual strength
477
00:36:45,001 --> 00:36:47,792
which has been suppressed for too long.
478
00:36:49,126 --> 00:36:51,542
But when it is released,
479
00:36:51,667 --> 00:36:54,959
this shining light of truth
480
00:36:55,084 --> 00:36:58,542
of ahimsa, which is non-violence,
481
00:36:58,667 --> 00:37:00,292
and satyagraha,
482
00:37:00,417 --> 00:37:03,876
which is the ancient path of truth...
483
00:37:04,001 --> 00:37:06,001
no force on Earth,
484
00:37:06,126 --> 00:37:08,542
no constitutional gain,
485
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:11,334
will be able to suppress it.
486
00:37:33,542 --> 00:37:35,792
- Fine speech, Jin.
-Thank you.
487
00:37:35,917 --> 00:37:38,751
Your Mr Gandhi
is very patronising.
488
00:37:38,876 --> 00:37:40,751
As though you were the newcomer
489
00:37:40,876 --> 00:37:44,709
and he'd worked to build the Congress
Party, instead of the other way round.
490
00:37:44,834 --> 00:37:47,542
Oh, I don't care about that.
491
00:37:47,667 --> 00:37:50,667
There is something about
what Mr Gandhi says...
492
00:37:52,209 --> 00:37:54,376
That makes me a little uneasy.
493
00:38:11,792 --> 00:38:15,042
I wish you'd stay for a few more weeks,
Fatima.
494
00:38:15,167 --> 00:38:17,584
My other brothers need me in Karachi.
495
00:38:17,709 --> 00:38:20,084
But I'll be back soon.
496
00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:24,376
I hope you haven't forgotten anything.
497
00:38:24,501 --> 00:38:28,167
- I don't trust these servants.
- Oh, don't be silly.
498
00:38:28,292 --> 00:38:31,626
Ram has been looking after me
ever since I was a little girl.
499
00:38:35,084 --> 00:38:38,042
Ram, please look after her.
She's so young.
500
00:38:38,167 --> 00:38:41,001
Don't worry, Bibisahiba. Don't' worry.
501
00:38:41,126 --> 00:38:42,417
But...
502
00:38:42,542 --> 00:38:44,792
when you will return from Karachi?
503
00:38:46,417 --> 00:38:48,126
As soon as I'm needed, Ram.
504
00:38:54,667 --> 00:38:56,834
Where are you going, Jin?
505
00:38:56,959 --> 00:38:59,959
Just for a stroll, my love.
506
00:39:04,292 --> 00:39:06,501
Do you want me to come?
507
00:39:30,751 --> 00:39:32,417
Good afternoon, young man.
508
00:39:32,542 --> 00:39:36,126
I hope you don't mind me resting,
for a few moments, in your lovely garden.
509
00:39:36,251 --> 00:39:38,667
Oh, no. No, of course not, sir.
510
00:39:39,792 --> 00:39:41,584
Can I ask them to fetch some water?
511
00:39:41,709 --> 00:39:45,709
No, no, no. I'm not unwell. It's just
the climb up the hill is a little tiring.
512
00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:47,917
- You're most welcome.
- Thank you.
513
00:39:51,126 --> 00:39:53,126
Mr Jinnah.
514
00:39:54,167 --> 00:39:56,667
You are right to trust logic,
515
00:39:56,792 --> 00:40:01,834
but isn't there some logic
in Gandhi's non-violence?
516
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:04,834
What do you mean?
517
00:40:06,459 --> 00:40:08,209
Who are you?
518
00:40:08,334 --> 00:40:10,501
Just a traveller.
519
00:40:10,626 --> 00:40:13,751
Gandhi angers you.
520
00:40:13,876 --> 00:40:17,667
- Because he patronises you?
- No, no.
521
00:40:17,792 --> 00:40:20,209
No, I'm not a child.
522
00:40:21,084 --> 00:40:24,334
Mr Gandhi is an extraordinary man.
A man who believes in his own mission.
523
00:40:24,459 --> 00:40:26,084
But...
524
00:40:27,459 --> 00:40:29,167
...the clothes...
525
00:40:29,292 --> 00:40:34,126
this imitation of the Hindu peasants,
the... the spinning wheels, the fasts,
526
00:40:34,251 --> 00:40:36,751
the bits and pieces
of Sanskrit philosophy.
527
00:40:36,876 --> 00:40:38,417
Ahimsa, satyagraha...
528
00:40:38,542 --> 00:40:41,001
He is calling forth a flood.
529
00:40:41,126 --> 00:40:44,501
Isn't that what the movement needs?
530
00:40:44,626 --> 00:40:47,959
Millions of people demanding
that the British leave India.
531
00:40:48,084 --> 00:40:50,751
Yes. But will it stop there?
532
00:40:50,876 --> 00:40:53,334
What else will they demand?
533
00:40:53,459 --> 00:40:57,834
When you talk of spirit,
you release darker forces.
534
00:40:57,959 --> 00:41:02,251
Powers that can't be questioned.
illogical urges and anger.
535
00:41:02,376 --> 00:41:07,834
If they succeed in kicking out the British
because they have usurped power in India,
536
00:41:07,959 --> 00:41:10,584
won't their attention,
then, turn to the Muslims?
537
00:41:11,376 --> 00:41:13,001
After all,
538
00:41:13,126 --> 00:41:15,709
we Muslims conquered India
long before the British.
539
00:41:15,834 --> 00:41:18,042
Isn't that logical too?
540
00:41:18,167 --> 00:41:21,792
No. Because we are not outsiders.
541
00:41:22,667 --> 00:41:25,667
We are part of this country.
542
00:41:27,417 --> 00:41:30,626
And besides...
543
00:41:30,751 --> 00:41:33,751
we have no England to go back to.
544
00:41:35,167 --> 00:41:36,917
Jin?
545
00:41:51,001 --> 00:41:54,626
- Talking to yourself, Jin?
- I'm just rehearsing a speech.
546
00:42:04,501 --> 00:42:07,709
Perhaps I should ask
for a postponement of the trial.
547
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:10,626
Jin...
548
00:42:10,751 --> 00:42:14,001
I don't want you take this amiss...
549
00:42:14,126 --> 00:42:16,459
but I'd like to discuss
something personal with you.
550
00:42:16,584 --> 00:42:21,126
Kanji, I have three cases pending
in the High Court. Can't it wait?
551
00:43:23,834 --> 00:43:25,834
Clear the roadway!
552
00:43:38,376 --> 00:43:39,626
Ruttie!
553
00:43:39,751 --> 00:43:42,917
What the hell are you doing?
Why have you brought Dina here?
554
00:43:43,042 --> 00:43:45,542
Jin, stop them.
They're beating helpless people!
555
00:43:45,667 --> 00:43:48,834
They offer themselves to be beaten.
556
00:43:48,959 --> 00:43:52,001
- Gandhi's politics...
- They're breaking their heads!
557
00:43:53,084 --> 00:43:55,459
There is nothing I can do.
558
00:43:55,584 --> 00:43:57,376
They want these histrionics, this theatre.
559
00:43:57,501 --> 00:43:59,876
You can't just stand there and watch.
560
00:44:02,626 --> 00:44:04,042
Kanji, come on.
561
00:44:06,126 --> 00:44:08,126
Ruttie, get the child home.
562
00:44:11,917 --> 00:44:14,834
By whose authority are you using force?
563
00:44:14,959 --> 00:44:17,001
Can I see the magistrate's order?
564
00:44:17,126 --> 00:44:22,167
- My advice, Mr Jinnah, is to go back.
- Stop this slaughter.
565
00:44:22,292 --> 00:44:23,917
Now!
566
00:44:25,667 --> 00:44:27,667
Pull the men back.
567
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:31,834
Withdraw lathi charge!
568
00:44:39,792 --> 00:44:43,459
In this great battle for our freedom,
569
00:44:43,584 --> 00:44:45,834
let it not be said of us
570
00:44:45,959 --> 00:44:49,834
that we are guilty of shedding blood.
571
00:44:49,959 --> 00:44:52,626
But let it be said
572
00:44:52,751 --> 00:44:54,584
that we suffer.
573
00:44:54,709 --> 00:44:57,959
That we shed,
not somebody's blood,
574
00:44:58,084 --> 00:44:59,709
but our own.
575
00:45:06,042 --> 00:45:09,459
So, I put this resolution to congress...
576
00:45:11,334 --> 00:45:17,876
We pledge ourselves to secure
complete independence for India,
577
00:45:18,001 --> 00:45:21,042
through means of non-violence.
578
00:45:33,292 --> 00:45:34,834
Members of Congress...
579
00:45:39,376 --> 00:45:43,001
I beg to oppose this hasty resolution.
580
00:45:52,251 --> 00:45:55,042
No one's desire for independence
581
00:45:55,167 --> 00:45:57,167
is greater than mine.
582
00:45:58,667 --> 00:46:02,001
Yet I wish to point out
that these methods...
583
00:46:02,126 --> 00:46:05,542
this dragging in of religious symbols,
584
00:46:05,667 --> 00:46:10,084
these radical marches and provocation
are now beginning to split the movement.
585
00:46:11,584 --> 00:46:14,876
The method and goal proposed
by Mr Gandhi's...
586
00:46:15,001 --> 00:46:16,334
No!
587
00:46:16,459 --> 00:46:17,834
No!
588
00:46:17,959 --> 00:46:21,251
Mahatma Gandhi!
Say 'Mahatma Gandhi'!
589
00:46:21,376 --> 00:46:22,751
Mahatma Gandhi!
590
00:46:28,126 --> 00:46:31,376
Mr Gandhi's resolution...
591
00:46:33,376 --> 00:46:37,542
At this moment, the destiny of our country
is in the hands of two men
592
00:46:37,667 --> 00:46:40,667
and one of them is Gandhi!
593
00:46:42,959 --> 00:46:44,584
Therefore...
594
00:46:44,709 --> 00:46:47,501
standing on this platform...
595
00:46:47,626 --> 00:46:52,251
I appeal to him to pause,
to cry "Halt!"...
596
00:46:58,959 --> 00:47:01,251
...before it is too late.
597
00:47:03,876 --> 00:47:06,876
- No! No! No!
- No! No!
598
00:47:08,459 --> 00:47:11,626
Mr Jinnah is right!
599
00:47:11,751 --> 00:47:14,167
Do not bring religion into politics.
600
00:47:15,167 --> 00:47:18,459
We are all Indians.
601
00:47:18,584 --> 00:47:20,751
If we go down this road,
602
00:47:20,876 --> 00:47:25,459
we will turn Hindu against Muslim,
in the end.
603
00:47:25,584 --> 00:47:27,876
If we do not win our freedom together,
604
00:47:28,001 --> 00:47:31,959
we will turn brother against brother.
605
00:47:33,209 --> 00:47:35,126
The turning point?
606
00:47:35,251 --> 00:47:38,667
I left the Congress Party.
607
00:47:38,792 --> 00:47:40,876
If Congress was going to turn into
a Hindu party,
608
00:47:41,001 --> 00:47:44,334
then somebody had to speak up
for the Muslims.
609
00:47:52,626 --> 00:47:55,251
Why are you dressed like that?
610
00:47:57,417 --> 00:48:00,501
Jin, you are so late. We're late.
611
00:48:00,626 --> 00:48:02,876
The party started at eight o'clock.
612
00:48:03,001 --> 00:48:05,001
The party?
613
00:48:06,126 --> 00:48:09,209
The party at Lady Jeejeebhoy's.
614
00:48:09,334 --> 00:48:14,292
- You said you'd take me.
- Of course. That party.
615
00:48:14,417 --> 00:48:17,042
Well, I have to start for Delhi
on the ten o'clock train.
616
00:48:17,876 --> 00:48:19,876
You go by yourself.
617
00:48:23,709 --> 00:48:25,709
Again.
618
00:48:25,834 --> 00:48:28,542
Ruttie, I have a practice to run.
619
00:48:28,667 --> 00:48:31,667
I don't want to go dancing
with the baronets.
620
00:49:11,167 --> 00:49:14,167
Jin... Jin...
621
00:49:16,751 --> 00:49:18,334
The train...
622
00:49:19,209 --> 00:49:21,959
Ruttie? Are you all right?
623
00:49:22,084 --> 00:49:24,959
It's not your fault.
624
00:49:25,709 --> 00:49:29,542
- No dancing...
- You've been drinking!
625
00:49:30,751 --> 00:49:34,542
- How dare you!
- Why are you cross with Mummy?
626
00:49:39,334 --> 00:49:41,167
It's all right, darling.
627
00:49:41,292 --> 00:49:43,292
Come and sit down.
628
00:49:44,084 --> 00:49:46,417
I'm not cross with Mummy.
629
00:49:46,542 --> 00:49:48,459
Did Mummy give you a kiss goodnight?
630
00:49:48,584 --> 00:49:52,834
No, silly. Mummy never puts me to bed.
Anita puts me to bed.
631
00:49:52,959 --> 00:49:54,876
Anita, take her back to her room.
632
00:49:55,001 --> 00:49:57,542
I have to go, sweetheart.
633
00:49:57,667 --> 00:50:01,167
- You're always going away.
- I know. I'm sorry.
634
00:50:01,292 --> 00:50:04,292
Go to bed. There's a good girl.
635
00:50:29,292 --> 00:50:32,292
Hello? Dr Patel, please.
636
00:50:33,709 --> 00:50:38,126
Patel? Jinnah.
Can you come immediately?
637
00:50:38,251 --> 00:50:40,167
Thank you.
638
00:50:40,292 --> 00:50:43,292
Sir, Kanji Sahab is here, sir.
639
00:50:45,001 --> 00:50:47,084
- Kanji, thank God.
- Ready to go?
640
00:50:47,209 --> 00:50:49,834
Kanji, I... I found these.
641
00:50:51,167 --> 00:50:53,584
- Where is she?
- She's asleep. I couldn't...
642
00:50:57,167 --> 00:51:00,167
Kanji, you knew about this?
643
00:51:00,292 --> 00:51:02,292
Why didn't you tell me?
644
00:51:04,667 --> 00:51:07,667
She didn't want you to know.
645
00:51:07,792 --> 00:51:10,626
She has cancer.
646
00:51:10,751 --> 00:51:14,126
It's eating up her insides.
That's why they prescribed the morphine.
647
00:51:17,209 --> 00:51:19,209
Oh, God...
648
00:51:26,959 --> 00:51:31,292
Ask... what is in your heart.
649
00:51:31,417 --> 00:51:34,751
I can't. It's too private.
650
00:51:34,876 --> 00:51:38,042
Go on, dear.
We can't keep the spirit waiting.
651
00:51:38,167 --> 00:51:39,792
Ruttie.
652
00:51:41,834 --> 00:51:44,084
What are they doing?
653
00:51:44,209 --> 00:51:47,751
Will my Jinnah
get married again?
654
00:51:47,876 --> 00:51:51,084
- When I die?
- No, Ruttie, no. Never.
655
00:51:56,667 --> 00:52:00,501
The pretty dear wants to know
if her husband still loves her.
656
00:52:00,626 --> 00:52:02,626
Like he used to.
657
00:52:10,501 --> 00:52:14,709
Kanji. Please do something
before Mr Jinnah comes back.
658
00:52:14,834 --> 00:52:17,834
The glass was right.
659
00:52:19,084 --> 00:52:23,376
I did not love her as before.
660
00:52:23,501 --> 00:52:27,501
I loved her and I needed her
much more.
661
00:52:29,751 --> 00:52:33,751
But I never taught myself
to show that love.
662
00:52:34,834 --> 00:52:37,167
If we win, here in Delhi,
663
00:52:37,292 --> 00:52:41,792
the government will be forced to publish
casualty figures for Indians killed in battle.
664
00:52:41,917 --> 00:52:44,751
I shall demand that
the compensation paid for Indian widows
665
00:52:44,876 --> 00:52:46,751
is the same as they pay for Tommies'.
666
00:52:46,876 --> 00:52:50,459
Sir, long-distance call from Bombay.
667
00:52:54,084 --> 00:52:56,376
Thank you.
668
00:52:56,501 --> 00:52:58,542
Muhammad Ali Jinnah speaking.
669
00:52:58,667 --> 00:53:00,292
Yes.
670
00:53:03,834 --> 00:53:05,709
I see.
671
00:53:05,834 --> 00:53:07,834
I'll be on the next train.
672
00:53:10,001 --> 00:53:12,709
My, er... my wife is very ill.
673
00:53:12,834 --> 00:53:14,542
You'll have to carry the case.
674
00:55:49,584 --> 00:55:53,584
- Do you still cry for her?
- No. Not for her.
675
00:55:55,667 --> 00:55:57,876
Then why?
676
00:55:58,001 --> 00:56:01,542
For love that is irretrievable.
677
00:56:01,667 --> 00:56:03,667
So much love.
678
00:56:04,626 --> 00:56:08,626
And it all melts away.
679
00:56:27,209 --> 00:56:31,667
'Mr Birtwhistle has been accused
of subversive publications.'
680
00:56:33,417 --> 00:56:36,834
By 'subversive', they mean
in favour of Indian independence.
681
00:56:38,209 --> 00:56:41,834
He has also been
forcibly removed from India.
682
00:56:42,626 --> 00:56:44,584
My Lord...
683
00:56:44,709 --> 00:56:48,876
Either Mr Birtwhistle is a citizen of Britain
and a subject of the King Emperor,
684
00:56:49,001 --> 00:56:50,834
or he is not.
685
00:56:50,959 --> 00:56:54,542
And either India is part
of the British Empire, or it is not,
686
00:56:54,667 --> 00:56:58,417
and the King Emperor is
its king and emperor, or he is not.
687
00:56:58,542 --> 00:57:01,167
And I would remind the court...
688
00:57:01,667 --> 00:57:07,126
...that it is treason
to pronounce that he is not.
689
00:57:07,251 --> 00:57:09,084
Mr Birtwhistle.
690
00:57:10,376 --> 00:57:13,126
Are you a citizen of Britain
and subject of the King Emperor?
691
00:57:13,251 --> 00:57:16,042
- Indeed I am.
- And were you so one month ago?
692
00:57:16,167 --> 00:57:17,376
Yes, I was.
693
00:57:17,501 --> 00:57:19,334
And were you instructed to leave India?
694
00:57:19,459 --> 00:57:20,834
- Yes.
- By whom?
695
00:57:20,959 --> 00:57:23,959
By the office of the
Secretary of State for India.
696
00:57:24,959 --> 00:57:27,334
My Lord...
697
00:57:27,459 --> 00:57:31,959
No resident of... Bournemouth,
shall we say,
698
00:57:32,084 --> 00:57:36,376
may be told that he is to repair to Scotland
and Scotland alone.
699
00:57:36,501 --> 00:57:40,626
Since Magna Carta, the right to
free movement throughout the realm
700
00:57:40,751 --> 00:57:42,834
has been established.
701
00:57:42,959 --> 00:57:44,626
So it has.
702
00:57:44,751 --> 00:57:47,542
My client has been denied that right
703
00:57:47,667 --> 00:57:50,834
in that part of this realm known as India.
704
00:57:52,292 --> 00:57:54,292
Tell me, Mr Jinnah,
705
00:57:54,417 --> 00:57:59,584
in another place, I have heard you argue
that India is not part of this empire.
706
00:57:59,709 --> 00:58:02,876
That is as it may be, My Lord.
707
00:58:03,001 --> 00:58:05,501
However, I am not in that place now
708
00:58:05,626 --> 00:58:09,001
and I'm conscious
of my humble role of advocacy
709
00:58:09,126 --> 00:58:10,834
in this, your court.
710
00:58:13,001 --> 00:58:14,751
Mr Birtwhistle,
711
00:58:14,876 --> 00:58:17,876
you are a fortunate man.
712
00:58:24,251 --> 00:58:28,626
Jinnah Sahab, the Muslims of India
need your leadership.
713
00:58:28,751 --> 00:58:31,584
Iqbal Sahab,
lam flattered by the compliment,
714
00:58:31,709 --> 00:58:35,001
from you,
our great poet and philosopher.
715
00:58:35,126 --> 00:58:37,042
There are many who can provide
that leadership.
716
00:58:37,167 --> 00:58:39,042
No, Jinnah.
717
00:58:39,167 --> 00:58:42,542
We need a Muslim of the modern day.
718
00:58:42,667 --> 00:58:45,292
Such as man has to lead
the struggle for Pakistan
719
00:58:45,417 --> 00:58:49,126
and then be an inspiration to a country,
at its birth.
720
00:58:49,251 --> 00:58:53,001
How can I even dare think
of myself as such a man?
721
00:58:53,126 --> 00:58:55,084
There is no other.
722
00:58:55,209 --> 00:59:01,542
For 200 years, the Muslims of India
have lost the directions of their destiny.
723
00:59:01,667 --> 00:59:04,292
And now, as the mists clear,
724
00:59:04,417 --> 00:59:07,001
a vision is born,
of a country of...
725
00:59:07,126 --> 00:59:10,334
purity and compassion.
726
00:59:10,459 --> 00:59:13,084
Pakistan.
727
00:59:13,209 --> 00:59:15,209
Dr Iqbal, please.
728
00:59:17,001 --> 00:59:21,209
Jinnah Sahab.
It's my turn to speak, please.
729
00:59:21,334 --> 00:59:24,959
I know I haven't long to live.
730
00:59:25,084 --> 00:59:29,709
Go back to India
and take charge of the League.
731
00:59:35,709 --> 00:59:39,667
Go back to India.
732
00:59:39,792 --> 00:59:41,709
Carve out a country.
733
00:59:43,667 --> 00:59:47,084
'How? Where to start?
734
01:00:12,584 --> 01:00:14,334
Jin!
735
01:00:14,459 --> 01:00:17,084
My God, why didn't you write or wire?
736
01:00:17,209 --> 01:00:20,709
I know. I'm sorry to intrude.
737
01:00:20,834 --> 01:00:24,667
- Serious problem?
- Just polishing his teeth.
738
01:00:24,792 --> 01:00:29,001
Sir, I beg your indulgence.
Would you mind coming back tomorrow?
739
01:00:29,126 --> 01:00:30,334
We have urgent business.
740
01:00:31,001 --> 01:00:33,584
What are you saying? I have paid.
741
01:00:33,709 --> 01:00:35,459
Please.
742
01:00:44,459 --> 01:00:46,126
I'm so sorry.
743
01:00:51,834 --> 01:00:54,084
Fati, there's one thing that's been
bothering me.
744
01:00:55,584 --> 01:00:58,042
I've spoken to Aunt Masiji.
745
01:00:59,917 --> 01:01:03,584
- How to say this?
- Well, you're the lawyer.
746
01:01:03,709 --> 01:01:06,167
I want you to contact decent families.
747
01:01:06,292 --> 01:01:08,126
With boys that...
748
01:01:08,251 --> 01:01:09,959
You understand.
749
01:01:10,084 --> 01:01:12,084
Men, of about your age...
750
01:01:12,209 --> 01:01:14,584
Suitable men.
751
01:01:14,709 --> 01:01:17,876
As head of the family, I...
752
01:01:18,001 --> 01:01:20,751
You're going to matchmake for me?
753
01:01:20,876 --> 01:01:23,001
That's so sweet.
754
01:01:23,126 --> 01:01:24,709
For your happiness.
755
01:01:24,834 --> 01:01:27,209
I resolved to give that up long ago.
756
01:01:27,334 --> 01:01:30,542
The marriage, love, children.
757
01:01:30,667 --> 01:01:34,126
I want to be there when we win.
758
01:01:37,251 --> 01:01:39,209
Fati, forgive me.
759
01:01:39,334 --> 01:01:41,959
I know you think I'm very modern.
760
01:01:42,084 --> 01:01:44,251
You're as old-fashioned as they come.
761
01:02:53,459 --> 01:02:57,209
We have swept the polls
throughout India.
762
01:03:03,626 --> 01:03:08,626
The will of the people has put Pakistan
within our grasp.
763
01:03:14,917 --> 01:03:18,251
The Muslim League has proved,
764
01:03:18,376 --> 01:03:20,501
in the eyes of the world,
765
01:03:20,626 --> 01:03:26,626
our right to represent
the Muslims of India.
766
01:03:26,751 --> 01:03:30,501
A nation which has found its identity
767
01:03:30,626 --> 01:03:33,459
and has, today, declared its will.
768
01:03:43,709 --> 01:03:46,376
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
769
01:03:46,501 --> 01:03:48,084
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
770
01:03:48,209 --> 01:03:49,667
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
771
01:03:49,792 --> 01:03:51,501
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
772
01:03:51,626 --> 01:03:53,167
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
773
01:03:53,292 --> 01:03:54,876
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
774
01:03:55,001 --> 01:03:56,501
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
775
01:03:56,626 --> 01:03:58,167
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
776
01:03:58,292 --> 01:03:59,876
- Pakistan.
- Zindabad.
777
01:04:00,001 --> 01:04:01,459
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
778
01:04:01,584 --> 01:04:03,167
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
779
01:04:03,292 --> 01:04:04,834
- 'Quaid-e-Azam!
- 'Zindabad!
780
01:04:04,959 --> 01:04:07,084
- 'Quaid-e-Azam!
- 'Zindabad!'
781
01:04:09,626 --> 01:04:11,917
Jinnah Sahab.
782
01:04:12,042 --> 01:04:15,459
Men must also be judged
by the love they have shown.
783
01:04:17,376 --> 01:04:19,209
Apart from Ruttie,
784
01:04:19,334 --> 01:04:21,542
who would you say you loved the most?
785
01:04:21,667 --> 01:04:23,709
My sister Fatima.
786
01:04:23,834 --> 01:04:25,542
My daughter Dina.
787
01:04:26,626 --> 01:04:31,042
'And you think you treated them
as well as you could?'
788
01:04:36,042 --> 01:04:38,209
Morning, my dear.
789
01:04:38,334 --> 01:04:42,167
- Papa, I must speak to you.
- Of course. Sit down.
790
01:04:47,751 --> 01:04:49,667
Papa, I want your permission to marry.
791
01:04:57,626 --> 01:05:00,001
Marry?
792
01:05:00,126 --> 01:05:01,459
But...
793
01:05:01,584 --> 01:05:04,667
But you are far too young.
794
01:05:04,792 --> 01:05:06,876
- Who?
- Neville.
795
01:05:07,001 --> 01:05:10,667
Mr Wadia? But he's a Parsee.
796
01:05:10,792 --> 01:05:12,834
Yes...
797
01:05:12,959 --> 01:05:16,959
Dina, there are millions
of young Muslim boys in India.
798
01:05:19,251 --> 01:05:22,584
- You can't do this to me.
- There were millions of Muslim girls.
799
01:05:22,709 --> 01:05:25,167
And you married Mama.
She was a Parsee.
800
01:05:25,292 --> 01:05:28,042
She became a Muslim.
801
01:05:28,167 --> 01:05:31,376
Is Mr Wadia prepared
to embrace our faith?
802
01:05:31,501 --> 01:05:34,042
No. But I will marry him.
803
01:05:37,584 --> 01:05:39,626
Dina, if you do this,
804
01:05:39,751 --> 01:05:42,209
you cannot call yourself my daughter
anymore.
805
01:05:43,751 --> 01:05:46,209
- I forbid it.
- But...
806
01:05:46,334 --> 01:05:47,584
But why?
807
01:05:47,709 --> 01:05:52,292
Because it is against our customs.
Against our tradition.
808
01:05:52,417 --> 01:05:56,001
I have fought for a Muslim State
809
01:05:56,126 --> 01:06:00,126
and my daughter marries
outside the faith.
810
01:06:07,917 --> 01:06:11,959
I am very proud that the girls
from our community have qualified
811
01:06:12,084 --> 01:06:14,792
in law, in the sciences,
812
01:06:14,917 --> 01:06:16,542
in English and Urdu,
813
01:06:16,667 --> 01:06:21,334
Sanskrit, and even in Chinese.
Excellent.
814
01:06:21,459 --> 01:06:25,209
The graduates from the Muslim College
will, no doubt, go on
815
01:06:25,334 --> 01:06:30,834
to enrich the lives
of both Pakistan and India.
816
01:06:30,959 --> 01:06:34,001
Lady Mountbatten.
817
01:06:42,376 --> 01:06:45,751
It gives me great pleasure
to give the Rattanbai Modi Award
818
01:06:45,876 --> 01:06:50,167
for distinction in history
to Farida Shah.
819
01:06:58,042 --> 01:07:02,751
Miss Jinnah, why have you invited
an Englishwoman to be our guest,
820
01:07:02,876 --> 01:07:05,084
when they have only contempt for us?
821
01:07:05,209 --> 01:07:07,709
Why should we have to shake
the hand of the enemy?
822
01:07:11,959 --> 01:07:14,626
If you object to my presence,
I will willingly...
823
01:07:14,751 --> 01:07:16,417
No, Lady Mountbatten.
824
01:07:18,084 --> 01:07:20,042
My younger sister,
825
01:07:20,167 --> 01:07:24,376
this is not the way we Muslims have
chosen to fight for our independence.
826
01:07:25,417 --> 01:07:28,251
The British are our friends and our rulers.
827
01:07:28,376 --> 01:07:30,584
We don't want them to be our rulers,
828
01:07:30,709 --> 01:07:34,042
but we want them to remain our friends.
829
01:07:35,292 --> 01:07:36,876
Now, sister.
830
01:07:37,001 --> 01:07:39,542
Come and take your prize.
831
01:07:50,667 --> 01:07:52,959
Panditji it is dangerous.
832
01:07:53,084 --> 01:07:56,126
There are demonstrations
against our party by Pathan tribesmen.
833
01:07:56,251 --> 01:07:58,751
Khan Sahab,
I'll speak to them, don't worry.
834
01:08:00,792 --> 01:08:04,042
Muslim League members.
Stop the car, I want to talk to them.
835
01:08:05,417 --> 01:08:07,126
I said stop!
836
01:08:10,459 --> 01:08:14,001
Silence!
My friends and comrades.
837
01:08:14,126 --> 01:08:16,376
My fellow citizens of India.
838
01:08:16,501 --> 01:08:19,042
Throughout my tour
of the North-West Frontier,
839
01:08:19,167 --> 01:08:23,126
I have been dismayed and saddened
by the demonstrations of violence
840
01:08:23,251 --> 01:08:26,084
and opposition
directed against the Congress Party
841
01:08:26,209 --> 01:08:27,959
in this great province.
842
01:08:29,709 --> 01:08:34,417
Congress... Congress is a party
with no religious boundaries.
843
01:08:34,542 --> 01:08:40,292
It is for Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs,
Christians, without distinction...
844
01:08:40,417 --> 01:08:42,501
of caste or creed.
845
01:08:51,084 --> 01:08:54,501
My dear fellow. I'm so sorry.
846
01:08:54,626 --> 01:08:57,334
Why on Earth are you giving speeches
in the Frontier?
847
01:08:57,459 --> 01:09:00,251
I thought Edwina specifically told you
not to go.
848
01:09:00,376 --> 01:09:05,001
Dickie, I thank you for your concern,
my friend.
849
01:09:05,126 --> 01:09:08,501
- Does Edwina know about the incident?
- Of course.
850
01:09:08,626 --> 01:09:11,501
Nothing stays secret in India.
851
01:09:11,626 --> 01:09:13,251
Well...
852
01:09:13,376 --> 01:09:15,417
Let me tell you both that...
853
01:09:15,542 --> 01:09:19,667
I will never accept that we,
in Congress,
854
01:09:19,792 --> 01:09:22,292
can't represent the Muslims.
855
01:09:22,417 --> 01:09:24,542
And one stone won't stop me.
856
01:09:24,667 --> 01:09:26,209
My dear Jawaharlal,
857
01:09:26,334 --> 01:09:27,667
this is not one stone.
858
01:09:27,792 --> 01:09:29,376
It's an avalanche.
859
01:09:29,501 --> 01:09:32,834
This election is disastrous
for your Congress Party.
860
01:09:32,959 --> 01:09:35,459
The Muslim League
has won the Punjab.
861
01:09:35,584 --> 01:09:38,292
It's won Bengal, it's won the Frontier.
862
01:09:38,417 --> 01:09:41,917
What did you expect?
They have a majority in those provinces.
863
01:09:42,042 --> 01:09:45,001
Yes. Who've given their votes
to Mr Jinnah.
864
01:09:45,126 --> 01:09:47,042
And now he'll demand
that with these provinces,
865
01:09:47,167 --> 01:09:48,709
he has the basis for Pakistan.
866
01:09:48,834 --> 01:09:50,501
He can break away.
867
01:09:50,626 --> 01:09:54,417
Oh, Dickie. This is dangerous nonsense.
868
01:09:54,542 --> 01:09:59,751
Those provinces have minorities
of Sikhs and Hindus. Millions of them.
869
01:09:59,876 --> 01:10:03,501
- So?
- They will never be safe in Pakistan.
870
01:10:03,626 --> 01:10:06,834
That, my dear Jawaharlal,
is precisely what Mr Jinnah says
871
01:10:06,959 --> 01:10:09,834
about the Muslims in India,
under your party's rule.
872
01:10:09,959 --> 01:10:13,167
Yes, I know, I know. But...
but don't you see?
873
01:10:13,292 --> 01:10:16,626
There are Hindu fanatics
in our own party.
874
01:10:16,751 --> 01:10:19,667
And with all this talk
of a Muslim Pakistan,
875
01:10:19,792 --> 01:10:23,542
they are beginning to demand
a Hindu India.
876
01:10:23,667 --> 01:10:25,792
If they split the Congress,
877
01:10:25,917 --> 01:10:29,334
the Muslim League
will be the strongest party in India.
878
01:10:30,751 --> 01:10:34,959
Unless I give Jinnah his Pakistan,
and split the country first.
879
01:10:35,084 --> 01:10:40,167
My friends, this is a historic day.
880
01:10:40,292 --> 01:10:43,292
The Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten,
881
01:10:43,417 --> 01:10:46,542
has conveyed to me
882
01:10:46,667 --> 01:10:50,251
the decision of the British government
883
01:10:50,376 --> 01:10:53,542
to concede, to us,
884
01:10:53,667 --> 01:10:58,501
the creation of the State of Pakistan.
885
01:11:07,792 --> 01:11:11,001
A partition commission is being set up
886
01:11:11,126 --> 01:11:13,542
under Sir Cyril Radcliffe,
887
01:11:13,667 --> 01:11:17,792
with three Muslim judges
and three Hindus,
888
01:11:17,917 --> 01:11:22,542
to mark out the borders
of Pakistan.
889
01:11:27,792 --> 01:11:31,626
Great Leader! Emperor of Pakistan!
890
01:11:31,751 --> 01:11:34,084
Great Leader! Emperor of Pakistan!
891
01:11:34,209 --> 01:11:35,792
No!
892
01:11:35,917 --> 01:11:38,792
I am nobody's emperor.
893
01:11:38,917 --> 01:11:42,876
Iam a soldier,
in the service of the birthright of Pakistan.
894
01:12:51,251 --> 01:12:52,376
Wait.
895
01:12:54,751 --> 01:12:57,084
Who are you?
And why do you want to kill me?
896
01:12:57,209 --> 01:13:00,792
You're a traitor, Jinnah.
If there is to be a Pakistan,
897
01:13:00,917 --> 01:13:03,126
it must be a Muslim state!
898
01:13:03,251 --> 01:13:08,542
- Pakistan will be a Muslim state.
- Yes. But with you as leader.
899
01:13:08,667 --> 01:13:12,167
You speak of the rights of Christians,
of Hindus.
900
01:13:12,292 --> 01:13:14,584
You talk of the rights of women.
901
01:13:14,709 --> 01:13:18,292
You are an ignorant fool.
902
01:13:18,417 --> 01:13:23,917
I have fought for your mother,
your sister, and your children's children
903
01:13:24,042 --> 01:13:26,084
to live in dignity.
904
01:13:26,209 --> 01:13:29,042
Islam doesn't need fanatics like you.
905
01:13:29,167 --> 01:13:32,126
Islam needs men of vision
who will build the country.
906
01:13:32,251 --> 01:13:34,584
Now, grow up!
907
01:13:34,709 --> 01:13:36,709
And serve Pakistan.
908
01:13:46,709 --> 01:13:48,709
Thank you, Nadeem.
909
01:13:57,126 --> 01:14:00,709
Now, that's one thing
Indians are not good at.
910
01:14:01,959 --> 01:14:04,584
I only meant baking cakes.
911
01:14:04,709 --> 01:14:07,917
I must teach the cook.
Lady Wavell absolutely spoilt him.
912
01:14:09,876 --> 01:14:11,126
Jawaharlal...
913
01:14:11,251 --> 01:14:13,251
We're moving ahead.
914
01:14:13,376 --> 01:14:15,876
It's within shooting distance,
independence.
915
01:14:18,167 --> 01:14:22,334
Dickie should insist
on Gandhiji's proposal
916
01:14:22,459 --> 01:14:26,501
and offer him again
the prime-ministership of a united India.
917
01:14:26,626 --> 01:14:28,876
Don't start wavering now.
918
01:14:29,001 --> 01:14:32,292
You must be prime minister of India,
and giving away Pakistan
919
01:14:32,417 --> 01:14:34,751
is the only way.
920
01:14:34,876 --> 01:14:36,876
What are you two discussing?
921
01:14:37,001 --> 01:14:40,959
The impossibility of Indians
baking proper English cakes.
922
01:14:41,084 --> 01:14:43,667
The cake needs the right ingredients.
923
01:14:43,792 --> 01:14:45,542
That's not what's depressing Jawaharlal.
924
01:14:47,126 --> 01:14:50,959
Come on, old boy. Jinnah can have
his truncated little country.
925
01:14:51,792 --> 01:14:54,667
He'll come limping back to you
in a matter of months.
926
01:14:54,792 --> 01:14:57,501
Jinnah will beg for reunification.
927
01:14:57,626 --> 01:15:00,959
And then, it'll be up to you,
Jawaharlal, to be magnanimous.
928
01:15:01,084 --> 01:15:03,084
I'll see to it.
929
01:15:04,667 --> 01:15:07,751
Then you still don't know him.
930
01:15:07,876 --> 01:15:09,876
He'll beg for nothing.
931
01:15:10,001 --> 01:15:12,501
My dear Jawaharlal,
932
01:15:12,626 --> 01:15:15,834
The anniversary of my victory in Burma
falls in August.
933
01:15:15,959 --> 01:15:17,626
Wouldn't it be a great triumph
934
01:15:17,751 --> 01:15:20,709
if it coincided with the date of the
independence of India and Pakistan?
935
01:15:20,834 --> 01:15:24,584
You mean... delay the transfer of power
by four months?
936
01:15:24,709 --> 01:15:28,417
No. I mean,
bring it forward by eight months.
937
01:15:28,542 --> 01:15:32,959
India will gain her independence
on the 15th of August 1947.
938
01:15:33,084 --> 01:15:36,667
Pakistan will have to scramble
to get itself ready.
939
01:15:37,584 --> 01:15:42,376
'Mountbatten changed the date
to force Pakistan into failure.
940
01:15:42,501 --> 01:15:45,001
'He would not permit us
to have our own army.'
941
01:15:45,126 --> 01:15:48,917
But when the Muslims threatened
to mutiny,
942
01:15:49,042 --> 01:15:52,042
- He backed down.
- Ah...
943
01:15:52,167 --> 01:15:56,959
So you are not beyond manipulation
and a little bit of blackmail.
944
01:15:57,084 --> 01:16:00,167
I wouldn't put it like that.
945
01:16:00,292 --> 01:16:02,084
Let us just say...
946
01:16:02,209 --> 01:16:04,209
persuasion..
947
01:16:49,834 --> 01:16:53,584
Mama! Mama!
948
01:17:09,584 --> 01:17:11,167
What will you say to Dickie?
949
01:17:11,292 --> 01:17:13,417
I'll say I was with you. Talking.
950
01:17:14,292 --> 01:17:16,542
He wants us to be close.
951
01:17:16,667 --> 01:17:19,542
I feel that too, but... but why?
952
01:17:19,667 --> 01:17:24,042
Well, if there's one person in the world
who can explain something so difficult,
953
01:17:24,167 --> 01:17:25,709
he stands before me.
954
01:17:26,417 --> 01:17:30,751
Really?
The mind of an Anglo-German aristocrat?
955
01:17:30,876 --> 01:17:33,584
- Even that.
- Well.
956
01:17:33,709 --> 01:17:36,417
There's the deep answer
and the shallow answer.
957
01:17:36,542 --> 01:17:39,084
Oh, give me the shallow one first.
958
01:17:39,209 --> 01:17:43,126
You won't mind if it's indelicate?
959
01:17:43,251 --> 01:17:45,251
Guide's honour.
960
01:17:46,667 --> 01:17:49,792
After being married for 20 or more years,
961
01:17:49,917 --> 01:17:54,251
Dickie doesn't want you anymore,
in that compelling way.
962
01:17:55,417 --> 01:17:57,417
And the deep reason?
963
01:17:58,417 --> 01:18:00,459
It's because...
964
01:18:00,584 --> 01:18:03,459
he understands that friendship is rare
965
01:18:03,584 --> 01:18:04,876
and that we have found it.
966
01:18:05,001 --> 01:18:07,584
And he wants to be a part of it.
967
01:18:07,709 --> 01:18:10,251
He wants it to be the three of us
968
01:18:10,376 --> 01:18:12,167
and he's willing to...
969
01:18:12,292 --> 01:18:14,709
This is difficult.
970
01:18:15,917 --> 01:18:19,709
- It's not a sharing...
- No, no, you're right.
971
01:18:19,834 --> 01:18:22,667
He has the deepest admiration for you.
972
01:18:22,792 --> 01:18:26,542
You see,
you have more than he ever had.
973
01:18:26,667 --> 01:18:28,709
Oh, he has power.
974
01:18:28,834 --> 01:18:31,584
But you have the love of millions and...
975
01:18:31,709 --> 01:18:36,126
He wants to feel there's something...
very strong...
976
01:18:38,209 --> 01:18:42,959
...something very deep,
between you and him, too.
977
01:18:43,084 --> 01:18:46,042
Only, he can never bring himself to say it.
978
01:18:46,167 --> 01:18:48,917
I know. He's an Englishman.
979
01:18:49,042 --> 01:18:51,334
And the only way he knows
is to lend me to you.
980
01:18:51,459 --> 01:18:52,876
Shh...
981
01:18:53,959 --> 01:18:56,126
I understand.
982
01:18:56,251 --> 01:18:58,667
Too well, perhaps.
983
01:18:58,792 --> 01:19:01,876
Jawaharlal, can I ask you
one small thing?
984
01:19:02,001 --> 01:19:04,834
- Anything, my dear.
- I know it's the one thing he wants.
985
01:19:04,959 --> 01:19:08,417
- But he's too proud to ask.
- What? Dickie, proud?
986
01:19:10,292 --> 01:19:13,542
We know he's Viceroy because he's
the best man on Earth for the job.
987
01:19:13,667 --> 01:19:16,459
But for him, the doubt still remains that...
988
01:19:16,584 --> 01:19:19,667
he's the King's cousin,
and that's why he got the job.
989
01:19:19,792 --> 01:19:24,001
- But if Congress were to invite him...
- Were to invite him...
990
01:19:24,126 --> 01:19:26,959
to become India's governor-general?
991
01:19:27,792 --> 01:19:31,251
I think... it would be a great honour for us.
992
01:19:31,376 --> 01:19:33,834
And it would please Bapu, I know.
993
01:19:33,959 --> 01:19:35,417
But, Edwina,
994
01:19:35,542 --> 01:19:37,792
there is one thing
I want you to promise me.
995
01:19:37,917 --> 01:19:39,459
I promise.
996
01:19:39,584 --> 01:19:41,876
There are difficult times ahead.
997
01:19:42,626 --> 01:19:44,667
I want to make a pact with you.
998
01:19:44,792 --> 01:19:47,126
To keep what is between you and me
999
01:19:47,251 --> 01:19:50,042
free from any matters of politics.
1000
01:19:53,042 --> 01:19:55,876
I'll never ask the Prime Minister of India
for anything.
1001
01:19:57,542 --> 01:20:01,167
I feel what's between you and me is...
1002
01:20:01,292 --> 01:20:03,667
spiritual.
1003
01:20:05,751 --> 01:20:07,751
Its feet shall not touch the earth.
1004
01:20:36,167 --> 01:20:37,709
Excuse me, sir.
1005
01:20:39,959 --> 01:20:43,376
There is a matter I wish to discuss.
1006
01:20:45,917 --> 01:20:48,667
- What are these?
- Letters.
1007
01:20:48,792 --> 01:20:50,917
From Lady Mountbatten to Nehru, and...
1008
01:20:51,042 --> 01:20:52,709
from him to her.
1009
01:20:52,834 --> 01:20:54,417
Shameful things.
1010
01:20:54,542 --> 01:20:57,417
More shameful
for us to read them.
1011
01:20:57,542 --> 01:21:00,501
We don't read them, sir.
1012
01:21:00,626 --> 01:21:02,417
It was suggested we use them.
1013
01:21:02,542 --> 01:21:06,167
We do not descend to this level.
1014
01:21:07,459 --> 01:21:09,459
The shame is not theirs, it is ours.
1015
01:21:09,584 --> 01:21:12,917
- Destroy them.
- They are carving up our country!
1016
01:21:13,042 --> 01:21:15,792
Savaging our people.
1017
01:21:18,667 --> 01:21:21,876
Er... I... I'm sorry, sir.
1018
01:21:22,001 --> 01:21:23,376
I'm sorry.
1019
01:21:25,167 --> 01:21:27,251
I too am sorry...
1020
01:21:27,376 --> 01:21:30,917
for the thought that blackened
your generous mind.
1021
01:21:44,334 --> 01:21:46,209
Well, Jinnah Sahab.
1022
01:21:46,334 --> 01:21:49,042
A bit foolish of you.
1023
01:21:49,167 --> 01:21:52,667
You could've changed the
whole course of history with those letters.
1024
01:21:53,917 --> 01:21:57,042
Are you trying to play Satan with me?
1025
01:21:57,167 --> 01:22:01,876
Did I hear you say that I should use
blackmail against my political opponents?
1026
01:22:02,542 --> 01:22:04,292
It would have saved lives.
1027
01:22:04,417 --> 01:22:07,959
History is made by the will and the wants
of millions of people.
1028
01:22:08,084 --> 01:22:11,084
Not by some letters and blackmail.
1029
01:22:12,584 --> 01:22:14,959
Top right hand
for my personal ensign.
1030
01:22:15,084 --> 01:22:16,792
Crest instead of the Union Jack.
1031
01:22:16,917 --> 01:22:20,834
It's slightly larger, I think, as the shield
takes in the idea of Great Britain.
1032
01:22:20,959 --> 01:22:23,292
We can check with the School of Heralds.
1033
01:22:23,417 --> 01:22:26,417
Would it be proper to have
both the Union Jack and my own crest?
1034
01:22:28,376 --> 01:22:30,376
Ah, Mr Jinnah.
1035
01:22:31,251 --> 01:22:32,751
Good of you to come.
1036
01:22:32,876 --> 01:22:34,501
Viceroy.
1037
01:22:39,459 --> 01:22:41,667
Let me get straight to the point.
1038
01:22:43,084 --> 01:22:45,626
They've invited me to be
first governor-general of India.
1039
01:22:45,751 --> 01:22:48,584
There's no doubt
that you deserve the honour.
1040
01:22:49,501 --> 01:22:53,209
Mr Jinnah, what, then,
is Pakistan's position?
1041
01:22:53,334 --> 01:22:56,126
Lord Mountbatten, I can't say
I didn't anticipate that question.
1042
01:22:56,251 --> 01:22:57,959
It's quite clear to me
1043
01:22:58,084 --> 01:23:03,042
that one man cannot possibly be
the head of state of both nations.
1044
01:23:03,167 --> 01:23:07,167
Surely, it'll be a great symbol of friendship
between the two countries.
1045
01:23:15,126 --> 01:23:16,751
If we were at war, Lord Mountbatten,
1046
01:23:16,876 --> 01:23:21,084
you couldn't possibly order one side
to attack and the other to defend.
1047
01:23:21,209 --> 01:23:23,459
I see.
1048
01:23:23,584 --> 01:23:25,626
Whose name do you think
the Crown will approve, then?
1049
01:23:25,751 --> 01:23:29,709
The Muslim League has asked me
to submit my own.
1050
01:23:31,792 --> 01:23:34,334
Do you realise, Mr Jinnah,
this will cost you dear?
1051
01:23:34,459 --> 01:23:37,959
A few crores of rupees, perhaps.
1052
01:23:38,084 --> 01:23:40,167
Or a division of the spoils.
1053
01:23:41,292 --> 01:23:43,167
No, Mr Jinnah,
1054
01:23:43,292 --> 01:23:45,501
it will cost you the future of Pakistan.
1055
01:23:45,626 --> 01:23:47,417
Everything.
1056
01:23:47,542 --> 01:23:51,626
You won't have a wooden table or chair
in your office, in your Pakistan.
1057
01:23:51,751 --> 01:23:55,084
Or the money to buy
an olive-green army water bottle.
1058
01:24:26,084 --> 01:24:29,417
I left something behind me
of great value,
1059
01:24:29,542 --> 01:24:32,334
when I was forced to leave my city.
1060
01:24:32,459 --> 01:24:34,334
Well, Jinnah Sahab,
1061
01:24:34,459 --> 01:24:37,417
the sacrifice of a large house...
1062
01:24:37,542 --> 01:24:41,167
What is it, compared to the death
of millions for your Pakistan?
1063
01:24:42,084 --> 01:24:45,542
I was not referring to my house.
1064
01:24:45,667 --> 01:24:49,334
I was referring to my daughter.
1065
01:25:20,834 --> 01:25:22,709
Papa, we've come to say goodbye.
1066
01:25:24,417 --> 01:25:26,584
I'm sorry you're not coming with us
to Pakistan,
1067
01:25:26,709 --> 01:25:29,292
but... I understand.
1068
01:25:29,417 --> 01:25:31,417
I will visit you, Papa.
1069
01:25:31,542 --> 01:25:35,709
But my home is now in Bombay.
With my husband and my child.
1070
01:25:50,751 --> 01:25:52,709
Bibisahiba, Jinnah Sahab has come back.
1071
01:25:52,834 --> 01:25:54,751
Bring some tea.
1072
01:25:58,459 --> 01:26:01,126
The refugees are pouring into Pakistan.
1073
01:26:01,251 --> 01:26:03,209
There are stories of massacres.
1074
01:26:03,334 --> 01:26:05,334
Well, we'll send our army in to help them.
1075
01:26:05,459 --> 01:26:09,626
You haven't any army.
They've given Firozpur to India.
1076
01:26:09,751 --> 01:26:11,459
It's final.
1077
01:26:11,584 --> 01:26:14,501
But that is Muslim territory.
1078
01:26:14,626 --> 01:26:17,834
- And our major arsenal.
- It's Mountbatten.
1079
01:26:17,959 --> 01:26:20,792
With Nehru whispering in his wife's ear.
1080
01:26:32,709 --> 01:26:36,584
I'm glad you could spare me these
moments before you go, Miss Jinnah.
1081
01:26:36,709 --> 01:26:39,626
I will see you in Karachi, won't I?
1082
01:26:39,751 --> 01:26:41,959
You must be my guest, Your Excellency.
1083
01:26:42,084 --> 01:26:44,667
Oh, do call me Edwina.
1084
01:26:44,792 --> 01:26:49,042
Edwina, I invite you formally,
on behalf of the government,
1085
01:26:49,167 --> 01:26:52,584
and informally, to sneak in
whenever you wish.
1086
01:26:54,876 --> 01:26:57,834
But your heart is really in Hindustan,
isn't it?
1087
01:26:59,001 --> 01:27:00,501
Why do you say that?
1088
01:27:00,626 --> 01:27:04,959
Because I think we should start
by being honest with each other.
1089
01:27:05,084 --> 01:27:07,334
That's very welcome.
1090
01:27:09,584 --> 01:27:11,917
So... what do you mean by India...
1091
01:27:12,042 --> 01:27:14,834
Hindustan being nearer my heart?
1092
01:27:14,959 --> 01:27:18,959
Your friends.
Your particular friendship with...
1093
01:27:19,084 --> 01:27:22,417
- His name is Jawaharlal Nehru.
- Yes.
1094
01:27:22,542 --> 01:27:24,542
Nehru.
1095
01:27:24,667 --> 01:27:29,042
It goes very far, doesn't it?
Your friendship with him.
1096
01:27:29,167 --> 01:27:31,876
And he's a friend of your husband.
1097
01:27:32,001 --> 01:27:34,209
People have been talking, but...
1098
01:27:34,334 --> 01:27:36,917
people do talk.
1099
01:27:37,042 --> 01:27:39,834
- You know what they say about you?
- Me?
1100
01:27:39,959 --> 01:27:42,292
- There's nothing to talk about.
- On the contrary.
1101
01:27:42,417 --> 01:27:46,584
They say that you and your brother...
are obsessive.
1102
01:27:46,709 --> 01:27:49,542
That you're obsessed with this...
Pakistan.
1103
01:27:49,667 --> 01:27:51,292
Yes.
1104
01:27:51,417 --> 01:27:54,792
And that is the ideal
that holds us together.
1105
01:27:56,501 --> 01:27:59,376
Could you accept, as a friend,
someone who didn't share that ideal?
1106
01:27:59,501 --> 01:28:02,292
Who...didn't believe in Pakistan?
1107
01:28:04,501 --> 01:28:05,751
No.
1108
01:28:06,917 --> 01:28:09,376
I thought you might say that.
1109
01:28:09,501 --> 01:28:11,584
But I want you to know, Fatima, that...
1110
01:28:11,709 --> 01:28:15,042
if there can be a one-sided friendship,
1111
01:28:15,167 --> 01:28:18,126
I consider myself your friend.
1112
01:28:27,334 --> 01:28:31,001
Liaquat, I'm appointing you
first prime minister.
1113
01:28:31,126 --> 01:28:33,584
I will announce it
in the assembly tomorrow.
1114
01:28:33,709 --> 01:28:36,126
As for remuneration,
1115
01:28:36,251 --> 01:28:41,251
my salary, as governor-general,
will be one rupee a month.
1116
01:28:41,376 --> 01:28:44,042
We must be the first to set an example.
1117
01:28:50,376 --> 01:28:51,792
Are you feeling all right, sir?
1118
01:29:26,667 --> 01:29:30,417
'If we want to make
this great state of Pakistan
1119
01:29:30,542 --> 01:29:33,042
'happy and prosperous,
1120
01:29:33,167 --> 01:29:36,667
'we must concentrate wholly and solely
1121
01:29:36,792 --> 01:29:40,334
'on the well-being of the people.
1122
01:29:40,459 --> 01:29:44,084
'You are free.
Free to go to your mosques,
1123
01:29:44,209 --> 01:29:45,792
'free to go to your temples,
1124
01:29:45,917 --> 01:29:49,334
'or any other place of worship
in the State of Pakistan.'
1125
01:29:50,542 --> 01:29:53,084
My guiding principle
1126
01:29:53,209 --> 01:29:57,001
will be justice and fair play,
1127
01:29:57,126 --> 01:30:00,292
without any prejudice or ill will,
1128
01:30:00,417 --> 01:30:04,167
without any partiality or favouritism.
1129
01:30:04,292 --> 01:30:09,959
We must root out the poison
of corruption and nepotism.
1130
01:30:10,084 --> 01:30:12,376
Our inspiration
1131
01:30:12,501 --> 01:30:16,042
will be the golden principles
of the Holy Prophet,
1132
01:30:16,167 --> 01:30:17,709
peace be upon him.
1133
01:30:18,376 --> 01:30:19,834
And I know
1134
01:30:19,959 --> 01:30:24,001
that with your support and cooperation,
1135
01:30:24,126 --> 01:30:26,334
I can look forward
1136
01:30:26,459 --> 01:30:29,251
to the day when Pakistan
1137
01:30:29,376 --> 01:30:34,626
becomes one of the greatest nations
of the world.
1138
01:31:01,792 --> 01:31:05,792
Each family will be given a grant
and some accommodation, sir.
1139
01:31:31,751 --> 01:31:34,167
Something is wrong, sir.
1140
01:31:35,251 --> 01:31:37,459
Open the doors.
1141
01:31:43,959 --> 01:31:46,209
Oh, God!
1142
01:31:48,667 --> 01:31:52,084
No, sir, no. It's not for you, sir.
1143
01:33:04,167 --> 01:33:06,001
Allahu Akbar!
1144
01:33:43,667 --> 01:33:48,667
Jinnah Sahab, what would've happened
if you had not created Pakistan?
1145
01:33:48,792 --> 01:33:50,584
I don't know.
1146
01:33:50,709 --> 01:33:52,917
I had my fears.
1147
01:33:53,042 --> 01:33:56,917
Look what happened to the Jews
in Germany.
1148
01:33:57,042 --> 01:34:00,001
And to minorities all over the world.
1149
01:34:00,126 --> 01:34:01,542
India, please.
1150
01:34:04,792 --> 01:34:06,334
'Tensions had reached a high point
1151
01:34:06,459 --> 01:34:07,959
'around Babri Masjid,
1152
01:34:08,084 --> 01:34:10,501
'the mosque in the northern Indian city
of Ayodhya.
1153
01:34:10,626 --> 01:34:15,334
'Spurred on by powerful Hindu politicians,
a mob mentality would take over.
1154
01:34:15,459 --> 01:34:19,751
'A few would become scores,
then hundreds, thousands.
1155
01:34:19,876 --> 01:34:22,084
'Tired of their leaders' temporising,
1156
01:34:22,209 --> 01:34:25,084
'fired by religious zeal,
they attack.
1157
01:34:25,209 --> 01:34:27,876
'At the end of the assault,
only rubble would be left of...'
1158
01:34:28,001 --> 01:34:31,834
Is this the end result
of Hindu fanaticism?
1159
01:34:35,126 --> 01:34:40,251
These are the people I outlawed
when I was Prime Minister of India.
1160
01:34:40,376 --> 01:34:42,376
I disliked them as much as you.
1161
01:34:43,292 --> 01:34:46,584
Fortunately, they still remain a minority.
1162
01:34:48,917 --> 01:34:53,917
You realise, of course,
that these are the people who killed me?
1163
01:34:54,042 --> 01:34:57,292
And you know why, Quaid-e-Azam?
1164
01:34:57,417 --> 01:35:01,542
They accused me of giving way
to Pakistan.
1165
01:35:01,667 --> 01:35:04,376
I always thought that one day
1166
01:35:04,501 --> 01:35:08,626
British Raj would become
Ram Raj.
1167
01:35:15,084 --> 01:35:17,751
Some of them have come
thousands of miles.
1168
01:35:17,876 --> 01:35:21,626
I don't know what we can do
to help them.
1169
01:35:24,209 --> 01:35:26,001
- Assalamualaikum.
- Walaikumasalam, madam.
1170
01:35:26,126 --> 01:35:28,167
- How do you do, Lady Mountbatten.
- How do you do.
1171
01:35:28,292 --> 01:35:31,709
I am the social worker
in charge of this camp.
1172
01:35:31,834 --> 01:35:34,667
Madam, the conditions here are appalling.
1173
01:35:34,792 --> 01:35:38,459
There are no tents.
The officials are not at all cooperative.
1174
01:35:44,001 --> 01:35:45,876
She's saying that she's lost her son
1175
01:35:46,001 --> 01:35:47,834
and that her husband has died,
1176
01:35:47,959 --> 01:35:50,709
and is this
what they left their homeland for?
1177
01:35:50,834 --> 01:35:52,417
Madam, you gave me an award.
1178
01:35:52,542 --> 01:35:55,167
At Ahmedabad University.
1179
01:35:55,292 --> 01:35:56,709
Lady Mountbatten was there.
1180
01:35:56,834 --> 01:35:59,126
Yes, I remember you clearly.
1181
01:36:00,834 --> 01:36:04,917
They've taken my sister.
My little sister.
1182
01:36:05,042 --> 01:36:07,876
She's gone!
1183
01:36:08,001 --> 01:36:10,376
There are hundreds
like her sister, on both sides.
1184
01:36:10,501 --> 01:36:13,126
Kidnapped, raped, and kept as slaves.
1185
01:36:13,251 --> 01:36:16,501
Too ashamed to identify themselves
or run away.
1186
01:36:16,626 --> 01:36:20,251
And their families wouldn't
accept them back, if they've been raped?
1187
01:36:20,376 --> 01:36:23,001
Would you accept your daughter,
under the same circumstances?
1188
01:36:23,126 --> 01:36:25,917
Of course!
1189
01:36:26,042 --> 01:36:30,459
Why don't you sit down?
I'll just get you some tea.
1190
01:36:35,917 --> 01:36:37,751
What can we do?
1191
01:36:39,334 --> 01:36:41,626
I'll do what I can here.
1192
01:36:41,751 --> 01:36:43,626
Meanwhile, on the other side,
1193
01:36:43,751 --> 01:36:46,251
use your influence with Nehru.
1194
01:36:46,376 --> 01:36:50,001
Get him to send troops
to stop the slaughter and kidnapping.
1195
01:36:50,126 --> 01:36:52,959
Fatima, he's no longer just a friend.
1196
01:36:53,084 --> 01:36:55,584
He's Prime Minister of India.
1197
01:36:55,709 --> 01:36:59,126
And for... all sorts of reasons, I can't.
1198
01:37:00,292 --> 01:37:02,417
I shouldn't.
1199
01:37:04,876 --> 01:37:06,292
I'll talk to him.
1200
01:37:09,084 --> 01:37:14,042
Mountbatten has promised us
complete army support.
1201
01:37:14,167 --> 01:37:18,167
And yet, all British officers
are confined to barracks.
1202
01:37:18,292 --> 01:37:20,126
Sir.
1203
01:37:20,251 --> 01:37:22,751
The Maharaja of Kashmir
1204
01:37:22,876 --> 01:37:25,792
has signed the state over to India!
1205
01:37:25,917 --> 01:37:28,042
That's impossible!
1206
01:37:31,501 --> 01:37:34,792
Kashmir is a Muslim state.
1207
01:37:34,917 --> 01:37:38,667
Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan.
1208
01:37:38,792 --> 01:37:40,626
Sir, we have reports
1209
01:37:40,751 --> 01:37:44,501
that the Indian army
is already in Kashmir.
1210
01:37:44,626 --> 01:37:48,376
And they're being... personally directed
by Mountbatten.
1211
01:37:48,501 --> 01:37:52,584
Lord Mountbatten
has deceived us.
1212
01:37:52,709 --> 01:37:55,334
And he still pretends to be our friend.
1213
01:37:56,501 --> 01:38:00,001
He is due here tomorrow,
on a state visit, and...
1214
01:38:00,126 --> 01:38:01,209
I'll snub him!
1215
01:38:04,292 --> 01:38:08,126
We must learn to rise above
these differences, Liaquat.
1216
01:38:10,834 --> 01:38:13,667
He is our guest.
1217
01:38:14,834 --> 01:38:16,334
So, Jinnah Sahab,
1218
01:38:16,459 --> 01:38:19,667
your story is that most of the blame
lies with the Mountbattens.
1219
01:38:19,792 --> 01:38:22,251
Only as much as they are guilty of.
1220
01:38:22,376 --> 01:38:25,584
Of course, you don't know
what happened to Mountbatten.
1221
01:38:25,709 --> 01:38:27,292
No.
1222
01:38:27,417 --> 01:38:31,042
For a while, it was rumoured
that he was a Soviet spy.
1223
01:38:32,334 --> 01:38:34,626
In the end,
1224
01:38:34,751 --> 01:38:37,584
he became a symbolic target
1225
01:38:37,709 --> 01:38:40,376
for the Irish Republican Army.
1226
01:38:40,501 --> 01:38:44,292
My Lord, may I open,
for the prosecution?
1227
01:38:45,042 --> 01:38:47,792
Your case, Jinnah Sahab.
1228
01:38:47,917 --> 01:38:51,126
Lord Mountbatten stands accused
1229
01:38:51,251 --> 01:38:54,126
of being, from the first,
1230
01:38:54,251 --> 01:38:56,167
an enemy
1231
01:38:56,292 --> 01:38:58,834
of Pakistan.
1232
01:38:58,959 --> 01:39:01,042
Guilty or not guilty?
1233
01:39:01,167 --> 01:39:04,709
I created the wretched country.
1234
01:39:08,876 --> 01:39:11,126
Order! Order! Order!
1235
01:39:11,251 --> 01:39:15,667
I submit five pieces of evidence.
1236
01:39:15,792 --> 01:39:17,042
One:
1237
01:39:17,167 --> 01:39:23,209
Lord Mountbatten advanced
the date of partition by eight months,
1238
01:39:23,334 --> 01:39:27,001
hoping that the new country
would be like a regiment of soldiers
1239
01:39:27,126 --> 01:39:31,209
parachuted into enemy territory
without maps.
1240
01:39:31,334 --> 01:39:35,376
Secondly: Lord Mountbatten interfered
in the division of land
1241
01:39:35,501 --> 01:39:38,584
between India and Pakistan,
1242
01:39:38,709 --> 01:39:43,376
giving the whole military arsenal
at Firozpur to India,
1243
01:39:43,501 --> 01:39:47,709
after it had been allocated to Pakistan.
1244
01:39:47,834 --> 01:39:50,917
I now call Sir Cyril Radcliffe,
1245
01:39:51,042 --> 01:39:53,126
who drew up the boundary
1246
01:39:53,251 --> 01:39:56,459
and was then forced to change it.
1247
01:39:59,917 --> 01:40:01,792
Sir Cyril,
1248
01:40:01,917 --> 01:40:06,292
did the Radcliffe Commission
award Firozpur to Pakistan?
1249
01:40:06,417 --> 01:40:08,584
Yes, it did. At first.
1250
01:40:08,709 --> 01:40:11,834
- Why?
- It was a Muslim majority district.
1251
01:40:11,959 --> 01:40:14,792
Sir Cyril, did Lord Mountbatten
1252
01:40:14,917 --> 01:40:16,459
issue any orders to you?
1253
01:40:16,584 --> 01:40:19,292
Oh, yes. He gave me a verbal order.
1254
01:40:19,417 --> 01:40:22,459
You see, the border near Firozpur
became a curve
1255
01:40:22,584 --> 01:40:25,751
and I was instructed
to make it a straight line.
1256
01:40:25,876 --> 01:40:29,792
Thus transferring hundreds of thousands
of people from one country to another
1257
01:40:29,917 --> 01:40:35,126
and leaving Pakistan without
one major army arsenal.
1258
01:40:35,251 --> 01:40:37,459
That is correct.
1259
01:40:37,584 --> 01:40:39,584
Order! Order!
1260
01:40:39,709 --> 01:40:41,292
Thank you, Sir Cyril.
1261
01:40:45,167 --> 01:40:46,751
And lastly,
1262
01:40:46,876 --> 01:40:48,959
this mess over Kashmir.
1263
01:40:49,084 --> 01:40:51,959
My Lord,
there was no mess over Kashmir.
1264
01:40:52,084 --> 01:40:55,334
Even I know that there've been
three wars fought over Kashmir
1265
01:40:55,459 --> 01:40:57,667
since you left it the way you did.
1266
01:40:57,792 --> 01:41:00,501
The mess was not of my making.
1267
01:41:00,626 --> 01:41:03,542
Mr Jinnah hates to lose.
1268
01:41:03,667 --> 01:41:06,209
He signed a document allowing
the Maharaja of Kashmir
1269
01:41:06,334 --> 01:41:08,417
to choose either India or Pakistan.
1270
01:41:08,542 --> 01:41:12,167
- He chose India. Now he cries foul.
- My Lord...
1271
01:41:12,292 --> 01:41:15,376
I did sign
1272
01:41:15,501 --> 01:41:18,584
and the Maharaja of Kashmir,
being a Hindu,
1273
01:41:18,709 --> 01:41:24,334
with a population 80 per cent Muslim,
should have signed to Pakistan.
1274
01:41:26,084 --> 01:41:27,876
My Lord,
1275
01:41:28,001 --> 01:41:31,376
lam guilty.
1276
01:41:31,501 --> 01:41:34,876
Guilty of trusting Lord Mountbatten
1277
01:41:35,001 --> 01:41:38,542
and the British army officers
who came to command my army
1278
01:41:38,667 --> 01:41:41,001
at my request.
1279
01:41:41,126 --> 01:41:42,876
My Lord, I call General Gracey.
1280
01:41:53,126 --> 01:41:55,042
General Gracey,
1281
01:41:55,167 --> 01:41:57,542
you were the army commander
in Pakistan.
1282
01:41:57,667 --> 01:41:59,084
Yes.
1283
01:41:59,209 --> 01:42:02,626
Did you receive intelligence
that Indian regiments,
1284
01:42:02,751 --> 01:42:07,251
under Lord Mountbatten's command,
had been airlifted into Kashmir
1285
01:42:07,376 --> 01:42:08,917
- Yes.
- Were you ordered,
1286
01:42:09,042 --> 01:42:13,167
by the government of Pakistan,
as its army commander,
1287
01:42:13,292 --> 01:42:16,501
to resist that invasion?
1288
01:42:16,626 --> 01:42:18,334
Yes, I was.
1289
01:42:18,459 --> 01:42:21,501
And did you resist it?
1290
01:42:21,626 --> 01:42:24,417
No, I... I...
1291
01:42:24,542 --> 01:42:27,001
Perhaps you'd be good enough
to explain to the court.
1292
01:42:29,251 --> 01:42:31,376
I'm a British officer.
1293
01:42:31,501 --> 01:42:35,084
The Indian side
was led by British officers.
1294
01:42:35,209 --> 01:42:39,626
I wasn't going into a war with
other officers commissioned by the King.
1295
01:42:40,417 --> 01:42:41,667
I refused.
1296
01:42:41,792 --> 01:42:44,126
But, General Gracey,
1297
01:42:44,251 --> 01:42:45,334
that is mutiny.
1298
01:42:45,459 --> 01:42:51,834
Well, mutiny is a rather large word
for a country like Pakistan to use.
1299
01:42:53,417 --> 01:42:56,584
Thank you, General Gracey.
That will be all.
1300
01:43:01,709 --> 01:43:06,376
And now, a question
to Lord Mountbatten himself.
1301
01:43:07,959 --> 01:43:12,917
Why did you not stop the slaughter?
Why did you not send in your troops?
1302
01:43:13,042 --> 01:43:14,917
As I said to you before, Mr Jinnah,
1303
01:43:15,042 --> 01:43:18,126
British troops could not get involved
in your squabbles.
1304
01:43:18,251 --> 01:43:21,084
Britain had to withdraw. With honour.
1305
01:43:22,417 --> 01:43:28,751
After 200 years of looting, exploitation,
and colonial theft,
1306
01:43:28,876 --> 01:43:31,626
I suppose there is...honour...
1307
01:43:31,751 --> 01:43:34,209
among thieves.
1308
01:43:34,334 --> 01:43:36,376
My Lord, I rest my case.
1309
01:43:37,709 --> 01:43:40,584
Jinnah Sahab, one last question.
1310
01:43:40,709 --> 01:43:42,959
Mind you, I ask all of them this.
1311
01:43:43,084 --> 01:43:45,792
If you had your time again,
1312
01:43:45,917 --> 01:43:48,376
would you do the same thing?
1313
01:43:48,501 --> 01:43:50,126
Yes.
1314
01:43:50,876 --> 01:43:53,709
But I would want others
to behave differently.
1315
01:43:54,709 --> 01:43:58,751
And if you were to ask
one person for forgiveness,
1316
01:43:58,876 --> 01:44:00,167
just one,
1317
01:44:00,292 --> 01:44:02,126
who would you choose?
1318
01:44:03,584 --> 01:44:05,792
The time is past.
1319
01:44:05,917 --> 01:44:08,667
Perhaps it still can be arranged.
1320
01:44:55,001 --> 01:44:57,876
- What's your name?
- Zakia.
1321
01:44:58,001 --> 01:45:00,751
- Where are you from?
- Firozpur.
1322
01:45:00,876 --> 01:45:02,084
And where are you going?
1323
01:45:02,209 --> 01:45:03,917
To Pakistan.
1324
01:45:04,042 --> 01:45:07,001
That's a brave girl.
1325
01:45:07,126 --> 01:45:10,251
Pakistan was made for you.
You're safe now.
1326
01:45:10,376 --> 01:45:12,876
Will my mother meet me in Pakistan?
1327
01:45:13,001 --> 01:45:14,626
Shh...
1328
01:45:16,709 --> 01:45:21,042
I'm sorry, sir. She's distracted.
She lost her mother.
1329
01:45:21,167 --> 01:45:23,084
It has been very hard.
1330
01:45:23,209 --> 01:45:26,626
Abbajan,
maybe the old man has seen Amma.
1331
01:45:27,542 --> 01:45:29,334
Shh...
1332
01:45:29,459 --> 01:45:32,209
Do you know who he is?
1333
01:45:32,334 --> 01:45:36,126
This is the Quaid-e-Azam.
1334
01:45:36,251 --> 01:45:41,626
I'm sorry, sir. We beg your forgiveness
for her not recognising you.
1335
01:45:41,751 --> 01:45:44,126
But... she's only a child.
1336
01:45:44,751 --> 01:45:49,459
It is I who should ask you for forgiveness.
1337
01:45:49,584 --> 01:45:52,376
For any part I have had
in what has happened to you.
1338
01:45:52,501 --> 01:45:57,292
No, no, sir.
I bless you with all my heart.
1339
01:45:57,417 --> 01:45:59,417
Allah blesses you.
1340
01:46:02,167 --> 01:46:05,584
Pakistan Zindabad!
1341
01:46:05,709 --> 01:46:08,376
Pakistan Zindabad!
1342
01:46:08,501 --> 01:46:11,251
Pakistan Zindabad!
1343
01:46:11,376 --> 01:46:13,126
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1344
01:46:13,251 --> 01:46:15,459
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1345
01:46:15,584 --> 01:46:16,959
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
1346
01:46:17,084 --> 01:46:19,126
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1347
01:46:19,251 --> 01:46:21,084
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
1348
01:46:21,209 --> 01:46:23,167
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1349
01:46:23,292 --> 01:46:24,917
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1350
01:46:25,042 --> 01:46:26,751
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1351
01:46:26,876 --> 01:46:28,334
- Pakistan!
- Zindabad!
1352
01:46:28,459 --> 01:46:29,959
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
1353
01:46:30,084 --> 01:46:31,501
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
1354
01:46:31,626 --> 01:46:33,626
- Quaid-e-Azam!
- Zindabad!
