00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,720
On December 31st, 1929,
3
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,600
as the old year yielded place to the new,
4
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,520
Gandhi's historical
resolution on independence
5
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,080
and the action to be taken, was passed.
6
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,960
The British Raj has robbed the people
of India of our rights
7
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,240
and our freedom.
8
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,240
An important announcement
from Bapu for the people!
9
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Hindustan must sever all ties with Britain
10
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
and fight for Poorna Swaraj!
11
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Schools, offices, and shops
will remain closed today.
12
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Bapu urges all of us to celebrate
today as the day of independence!
13
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,080
To give a start to the campaign,
January 26, 1930,
14
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,640
was observed as Independence Day.
15
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Long live Gandhi-ji!
16
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,000
Long live Gandhi-ji!
17
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,760
Long live Gandhi-ji!
18
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,240
Long live Gandhi-ji!
19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Long live Gandhi-ji!
20
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,200
Ah, Menon!
21
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,200
Sir!
22
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,240
And what do we have here?
23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800
This... uh, Bapu, I mean, Mr. Gandhi has*
24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Do I need to remind you of
the many opportunities you have here?
25
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,280
It would be foolish of you, naive,
26
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,520
to become involved in
any political propaganda.
27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Do you understand me?
Have I made myself clear?
28
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Yes, Sir.
29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,920
Louder, please.
30
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,040
Yes, Sir.
31
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Very well.
32
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,880
Perhaps a change in perspective
might clear your head.
33
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,240
Downstairs, I think.
34
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200
I want you to work up a proposal
for the transfer of power.
35
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Factoring in the division
of the Punjab and Bengal.
36
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Ensure that all sides are kept happy.
37
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,960
You up for the challenge or not?
38
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,080
Yes sir, I am, absolutely.
39
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Good. Get to it.
40
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,080
Thank you.
41
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Mr. Menon!
42
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,520
-Mr. Menon.
-Ah, CM Suhrawardy!
43
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,360
Aye, Nazirul! Come on!
44
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,560
So good to see you!
45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,520
So good to see you, congratulations!
46
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,520
Huh?
47
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,960
I hear you are in charge of the transfer?
48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,240
Is there anything you don't know?
49
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,160
Not much, I won't lie!
50
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,880
So, the Chief Minister
of Bengal is in Delhi.
51
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,080
What brings you here?
52
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Oh, just to do you a little favour!
53
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,360
I don't understand?
54
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Soon enough, you will!
55
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Actually, I come bearing
an offer for the Viceroy!
56
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,080
What offer?
57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280
An offer he will be unable to refuse.
58
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Chief Minister!
59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Chief Minister Suhrawardy!
60
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Mr. Abell.
61
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,720
-Thank you for coming!
-Thank you for having me.
62
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,240
The Viceroy will receive you now.
Please, this way.
63
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,400
-After you, sir.
-Wait and watch.
64
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,480
You see, Your Excellency...
65
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,560
Bengalis and Punjabis
don't have that much in common.
66
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Except we're both a stubborn lot.
67
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,600
W-What I'm trying to say is, anyone who
thinks they can take both these provinces
68
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440
and lump them into the same state
69
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,760
is clearly not thinking straight!
70
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,480
And, therefore, your solution is...?
71
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,760
An independent, united, Bengal!
72
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,880
Sir, maybe you should read that.
73
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,480
I see you have support
from across the aisles.
74
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,480
Alright.
75
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Talk.
76
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Suhrawardy is a traitor!
77
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400
-Not only to the League but also to Islam!
-Absolutely!
78
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,360
He may be a conniving fox,
79
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,680
but he does have the right idea...
80
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Rather than separating the two halves
of Pakistan by a thousand kilometres,
81
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,480
it is better that...
82
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,640
Bengal remains united and independent.
83
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,480
But the League has
won the election in Bengal!
84
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,000
The Muslims over there
have chosen Pakistan!
85
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Yes, but the Muslims in Bengal
will still have an independent state...
86
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360
which is a victory for
the two-nation theory.
87
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,160
But Quaid, the*
88
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,120
As long as the Congress doesn't
get a grain of Bengal's soil,
89
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,640
then I am all for an independent Bengal.
90
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,640
And I'm sure
91
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,120
the Bengalis will remain
on friendly terms with Pakistan.
92
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
I have been watching Suhrawardy.
93
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,080
He came to Delhi, met the Viceroy...
94
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,800
but did not meet Jinnah.
95
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,400
How do you know?
96
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Don't tell me, I don't want to know.
97
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,240
Good morning, sir.
98
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Good morning.
99
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Good morning, sir.
100
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Good morning.
101
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Good morning, sir.
102
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Good morning, Mrs. Chatterjee.
103
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,440
Good morning.
104
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Sit down, gentlemen.
105
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,560
In front of you,
106
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,360
you will find signed treaties
between 565 princely states and the Crown.
107
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,840
Please study them carefully.
108
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,040
So good to see us actually laugh for once!
109
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,560
Anyway, I'm so glad we
could come to an arrangement.
110
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,080
Now I'll get the office to contact
Fatima so we can have some dinner.
111
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,400
I look forward to it.
112
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,760
[Jinnah coughs]
113
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,880
Excuse me.
114
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,320
George...
115
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,680
-Mr. Jinnah sir.
-Yes.
116
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,680
We've got work to do.
117
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Well, Jinnah changed his tune.
I'm glad to hear of it.
118
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,280
Now, get Menon to work up an
alternative Transfer of Power plan.
119
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,280
One that factors in an independent Bengal.
120
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:29,720
Yes?
121
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Your Excellency, we're conce-
122
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080
What the bloody hell's going on?
123
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,600
Mr. Menon ha-
124
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Mr. Menon what?
125
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,280
Hastings, will you...
126
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,560
Uh... Your Excellency...
127
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,360
Jinnah can be fickle-minded.
128
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Before he changes his mind,
129
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,520
I suggest we maintain a low profile and
we work on this plan between ourselves.
130
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,880
What he means, sir
131
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,560
is that we should work on
this other plan... by ourselves.
132
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,800
Fine.
133
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Let's get it done.
134
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,200
Ashutosh, where is the
Constitutional Law file?
135
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,560
You and I know that this
is utterly unacceptable.
136
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,960
India and Pakistan must
accept dominion status.
137
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,360
Our final list of demands.
138
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Half of Punjab and Bengal...
139
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Strong Centre...
140
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Poorna Swaraj?
141
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,760
India will be an independent republic.
142
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,440
Not a dominion.
143
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,320
Poorna Swaraj is non-negotiable.
144
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Yes?
145
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,160
How many?
146
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,760
Well, what was the police doing?!
147
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Where now?
148
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,560
United Provinces.
149
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Ashutosh!
150
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,640
Ashutosh!
151
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Ashu!
152
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,520
-George!
-What-
153
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Is there something I should know about?
154
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,040
My staff and my files
have been taken away from me.
155
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Not now, Menon. More killings!
156
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,800
U.P. this time.
157
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Ismay, we have a situation.
158
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,880
This bloodshed will not contain itself.
159
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,080
Dickie should announce
his plan immediately.
160
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960
First we have to find out
what the Viceroy is thinking!
161
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,240
How?
162
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,400
Again with that...
163
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,040
do you really want to know how? Hm?
164
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,920
I have ten other things to do.
165
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120
As if I have all the time
in the world and nothing to do...
166
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,960
-I'm stuffed! I can't...
-Absolutely not, Menon sahab!
167
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,880
These are special kesar mangoes from Valsad,
you must eat at least two more bowls!
168
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,520
Vallabhbhai, is it some
auspicious day today?
169
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,920
It can be if you want it to be...
170
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Oh, Mani... Mani, you do know...
171
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,960
that Menon sahab is the seniormost
Indian on the Viceroy's staff?
172
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,720
Once he has drawn up the transfer
of power plan, just you wait and watch...
173
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,960
He is going to become a household name!
174
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:47,720
Everybody will name
their children after him...
175
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,920
Menon Parekh, Menon Shah,
176
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Menon Gupta...
177
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Menon is my surname, Vallabhbhai...
178
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,080
But one thing is for sure...
179
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,960
you are an inspiration
for every child in Hindustan...
180
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,680
With hard work and perseverance,
181
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,640
only sky is the limit!
182
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,280
Well, now that you have sent me sky high,
183
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,840
I might as well touch the stars...
184
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Vallabhbhai...
185
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,520
let's get to the point, shall we...
186
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:32,360
The point, Menon sahab, is that I want the
British to transfer power to the Congress,
187
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,920
along with half of Punjab and half
of Bengal, and leave as soon as possible.
188
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,400
Please let the Viceroy know
189
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,440
that barring these three things,
everything is up for negotiation.
190
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,880
Alright?
191
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Vallabhbhai, the Viceroy
will draw up a plan
192
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,880
that takes into account the interests
of everyone, not just the Congress.
193
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,360
The British only account
for their own interests.
194
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,480
If you are loyal to them,
you will get a salary in return...
195
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,640
not loyalty.
196
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,000
If that sounds hard to believe,
just look at our Jinnah sahab.
197
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:26,000
They used him during the
World War to weaken the Congress,
198
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,000
and after their work was done,
199
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,760
they picked him up and tossed
him aside like yesterday's newspaper.
200
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,280
That's what the British do...
Use and throw.
201
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,560
You may lay down your life,
202
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520
and still you will have been
little more than a tool to them.
203
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,360
Have this sent to London.
204
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,160
And these to their respective addresses.
205
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,720
Bapu...
206
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Namaskar. Work on the transfer of
power plan appears to be well underway.
207
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,680
Today, several key Indian leaders have
received an invitation from the Viceroy
208
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,880
for an all-party meeting on May 17.
209
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,160
At this meeting, the Viceroy is likely
210
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,440
to declare his plan
for the Transfer of Power,
211
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,600
which will hand over governance
into the hands of Indian leaders.
212
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,320
In two weeks,
the future of India will be declared.
213
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,360
Perhaps for the first time in history,
214
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,080
a handful of people will
decide the fate of millions.
215
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,720
This one here. Champagne's here!
216
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,280
I say, Hastings, come join us!
We're cracking open the bubbly.
217
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,760
[background chatter increases]
218
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,920
Wait until bloody Churchill sees this, eh?
219
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Stick it to him, that's what I say!
220
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,080
The man that saved India! Bit more
of this, and I'll save the marriage!
221
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,320
Well, I guess we'll all have a drop, eh?
222
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,360
-Now-
-Cheers to you, sir!
223
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,600
-Oh, cheers!
-Cheers! To you!
224
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:08,840
Honestly, I've never laughed so
much in my whole bloody life!
225
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,040
[muffled] I think he's right here!
226
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,440
He already is!
227
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Your Excellency?
228
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Yes!
229
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,000
May I come in, sir?
230
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,960
Of course, come in, come, come!
231
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,200
We're just having a little party.
232
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Sir, I am here to submit the
plan that you asked me to work on.
233
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,240
I think it's perhaps time
we informed the Reforms Commissioner.
234
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Menon.
235
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,640
George, door.
236
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,680
Forgive me, Your Excellency...
237
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,560
But the Congress will
never accept this plan.
238
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,360
I was assured, by Suhrawardy no less,
239
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,120
that the Bengal Congress was in agreement.
240
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,440
With due respect, Your Excellency...
241
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,400
It's the high command that decides.
242
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,920
Regional Congressmen
will be put out to pasture
243
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,440
if they go against Mr. Patel or Mr. Nehru.
244
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,920
I would've thought they'd be on side as long
as Pakistan doesn't make claim to Calcutta.
245
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,120
No, no, no, Your Excellency!
You're horribly mistaken!
246
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,480
I'm mistaken?!
247
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,000
You may leave now.
248
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,040
I'm afraid this time you are, sir.
249
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,240
The thing is, the Congress see themselves
as the natural successors to the British.
250
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,080
What Jinnah lays claim to, is theirs.
And what he lets go of, is also theirs!
251
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,760
The British Crown
252
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:24,160
represents everything they've been
protesting against, for more than 50 years!
253
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,160
Menon, I don't need
a bloody history lesson.
254
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,920
What you do need, Your Excellency, then
255
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240
is to stop the plan from
going ahead to London, anyhow!
256
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,160
Have you lost your mind?
257
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,320
It's too late.
Downing Street already has it already.
258
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,880
I mean... they're announcing
it to the Indian leaders,
259
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,360
and that's why we're
having a bloody party!
260
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,600
I mean I can't take it back now!
Think of the precedent that would set.
261
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,360
And we'll all look like bloody idiots!
262
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,360
In that case, Your Excellency,
263
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,280
you must be prepared for the worst.
264
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,080
That is?
265
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120
The Congress will resort
to their age-old tactic...
266
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,040
Spit it out, man.
267
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Mass agitation.
268
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Mass agitation!
269
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,560
Mass agitation.
270
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,840
Well, there's a surprise.
271
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,760
So, Pandit-ji?
272
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,600
Everything alright?
273
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,720
There is an invitation from Dickie...
274
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,520
to visit Simla for a holiday.
275
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480
No, I'm up to my ears right now,
I don't have time for all this rubbish.
276
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,400
It is not for you, it's for me.
277
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800
But the situation in U.P. is
more important, Vallabhbhai...
278
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Don't worry, I'll take care of U.P.
279
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,640
You go take care of the Viceroy.
280
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,200
You see, my friend was of no use.
281
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,480
Perhaps you should go find out...
282
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,000
what your friend plans
to reveal at the meeting on May 17th.
283
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,760
Vallabhbhai has sent some mangoes for you.
284
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,000
Iyengar, please have
them taken out of the car!
285
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,880
Vallabhbhai is very kind.
286
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,320
I hope your journey from
Kalka to here was not very tiring.
287
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
I am not tired, just...
288
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,560
concerned about the riots in U.P.
289
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,800
A concrete transfer of power plan
is the only solution to all this violence.
290
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,520
I agree with you on that,
it is the need of the hour.
291
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,120
And I'm sure the Viceroy... uh,
292
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,120
will come up with a plan which
is agreeable to all parties involved.
293
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Well, I certainly hope so.
294
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,800
-May I?
-Yes please.
295
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,560
That's my family tree.
296
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Battenberg.
297
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,600
Yes...
298
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800
we had it changed to Mountbatten
during the First World War.
299
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,280
To be more English.
300
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,960
Or to be seen as such.
301
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,320
And to prove our loyalty.
302
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,200
Ironic...
303
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,680
You're the Supreme Allied
Commander of South East Asia,
304
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,400
a Viscount,
305
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,040
and the great grandson of Queen Victoria,
if that counts!
306
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,840
I know a fellow patriot when
I see one, my friend.
307
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,160
-Good to see you.
-It's good to see you.
308
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,560
-Now, drink?
-Yes, please.
309
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Good!
310
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,680
This is the Viceroy being neutral? This?
311
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,840
Why has the head of only
one party been invited to Simla?
312
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Whatever he is doing,
why are you bothered?
313
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,880
You have already discussed
the plan with Mountbatten *
314
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,960
Bengal will be independent
and we will get Punjab.
315
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,720
Something, Fatti, something is wrong.
316
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,480
Your BP!
317
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,960
Now stop overthinking
318
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,440
and please* take your medicines!
319
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,360
There really won't be a problem,
it's absolutely fine.
320
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,840
Looking at things from
a different perspective?
321
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Oh!
322
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,360
That is yoga for you.
323
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,480
Calms the mind, and relieves stress...
324
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Is the mountain air not enough for you?
325
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,360
I was hoping to see you last evening.
326
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,680
I hope your bedroom's comfortable.
327
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,280
Oh, yes.
328
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,080
It's nice to be here.
329
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,920
I'm waiting on an audience with Dickie.
330
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,960
But he seems occupied.
331
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,680
Well... looks like we both
have some time on our hands then...
332
00:25:58,880 --> 00:25:59,960
So, tell me,
333
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,880
what is there for one to do in Simla?
334
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,600
No, Mr. Menon, I did not
give Jawa the plan last night.
335
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:12,320
It's inappropriate.
Now-
336
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,840
Excuse me.
337
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,160
Oh! Just like that...
338
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,920
[indistinct chatter]
339
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,080
-You saw that with your very own eyes.
-Everyone saw that.
340
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Right there!
341
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,120
[sounds of laughter]
342
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,320
You have to tell me!
343
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,320
I'm serious!
344
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,640
No, that was - that was earlier,
I think - before-
345
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,680
His Excellency has asked
me to extend his apologies.
346
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,640
The Prime Minister is on the telephone.
347
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:10,560
But he insists you
must carry on without him.
348
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,920
Hm.
349
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,120
Well, it looks like it's just us.
350
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,240
I suggest you get accustomed to it.
351
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,160
Might I be the first to congratulate you,
Your Excellency.
352
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
It seems Attlee has approved our plan.
353
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,360
He will present it before
the House of Commons next week.
354
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,840
Your Excellency,
you HAVE to show this plan
355
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,920
to Pandit Nehru before
it is presented to the cabinet.
356
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,920
Oh, come to your senses, man. To do so
would be a complete breach of neutrality!
357
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,520
Abell is right, Your Excellency.
358
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,200
If people find out, your reputation and
credibility would be destroyed forever.
359
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Forgive me, sirs...
But I really don't see any other way.
360
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,160
If this goes ahead
without Congress approval,
361
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,760
there will be absolute pandemonium
on the streets, sir, I don't-
362
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,240
Mr. Menon,
363
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,760
are you quite sure beyond any
reasonable doubt, that this so called
364
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Congress High Command will
not accept Suhrawardy's plan?
365
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,120
No, sir.
366
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,560
Dear Chinnan,
367
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,320
I trust everyone is well at home.
368
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,080
Once again, I will not
be able to come home for Onam.
369
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,400
I miss home and I miss our childhood...
370
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:57,000
I have felt like an outsider
for a long time, at school, at work...
371
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,360
Despite winning accolades
like the Companion of the Order...
372
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,960
despite working in the Viceroy's
office on the transfer of power...
373
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160
people still find a way to
make me feel like I don't belong.
374
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,120
My mentor, whom I hold in high regard,
375
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,600
tells me I should pay
heed to the voice in my heart.
376
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,160
And I know, if I remain silent now,
377
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,000
the consequences of my
silence will haunt me forever.
378
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,640
Therefore, today, I must speak up.
379
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,000
...valentine...
380
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,800
It's Clementine!
381
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,480
-Clemen... Clementine!
-Someone* excuse me, gentlemen. Excuse me.
382
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Mr. Menon,
383
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,760
will you not join us?
384
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,040
No, Pandit-ji. I am not worthy, perhaps,
of being considered among your friends.
385
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,000
I mean, I don't - I don't drink!
386
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,480
You have a good night!
387
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,320
Menon sahab.
388
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320
I already count you among my friends.
389
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,080
As a common friend would say - what
remains now is only to prove the friendship.
390
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,360
It is hard to prove
friendships in politics.
391
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Here, those who seem friendly
392
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,920
are not truly your friends.
393
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,040
I have been privy to the "friendship"
of the British for 30 years now.
394
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
My mother was beaten up by the British.
395
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,760
I missed seeing my own daughter grow up.
396
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,640
I was unable to be with
my wife at her deathbed
397
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,640
because I was in prison.
398
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,000
This is not just my story
399
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,640
but the story of millions of Indians...
400
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,960
At the end of the day,
home is where the heart is.
401
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,080
As far as friendship is concerned...
hate the sin, not the sinner.
402
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Jawa,
403
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,680
may I have a word?
404
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,760
There is something I'd
like to show you in the study.
405
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,280
Thank you.
406
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,560
Is that for me?
407
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,440
Not today, Your Excellency.
408
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Good.
409
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Read it.
410
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,520
I will want your thoughts
on how Congress is likely to react.
411
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,640
Sir-
412
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,000
What I can say is...
413
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,280
Under the weight of all your
ranks and titles, you have forgotten
414
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,360
that before everything else,
you are an Indian!
415
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:14,720
Sir...
416
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,920
What is this?
417
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,480
How can you draft a plan
that serves our interests so poorly?
418
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,960
He did not.
419
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,480
I am sorry that you feel this way.
420
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,240
Was I a fool to think
that we've become friends?
421
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,800
I have tried to accommodate
the interests of all parties-
422
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,800
The only interests this seems
to serve are those of India's enemies!
423
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,840
"Each province and princely state will
be asked to choose between three options
424
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,360
India, Pakistan, or independence."
425
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,800
Yes, and the independence
clause is solely for Bengal!
426
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,720
What if everyone chooses independence?
427
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,920
If these Maharajas are
left to their own devices,
428
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,480
India will be divided into 500 fragments!
429
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,680
-It will not come to that.
-What if it does?!
430
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,120
After three centuries
of "divide and rule",
431
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,840
you will leave us at "fragment and quit"?!
432
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,000
This plan is not only certain
to be rejected by Congress,
433
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,160
it will create an irreparable rift
434
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,440
between India and the British.
435
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,080
I've had enough of this.
436
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Jawa!
437
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,520
Let's not lose our heads over this-
438
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,240
Pandit-ji...
439
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:46,160
Pandit-ji, please listen to me...
440
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,000
As if Bengal was not enough,
441
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,080
now the English are offering
independence to the princely states!
442
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000
Hyderabad is already
leaning towards Pakistan!
443
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Kashmir is sitting on the fence.
444
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,880
If this plan is set into motion,
445
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,320
India will be left in pieces.
446
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,920
Is there anything left to say?
447
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,400
Thought as much.
448
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,320
Hello?
449
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,120
Hello, Vallabhbhai, this is Menon...
450
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,160
I hope I didn't wake you.
451
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,560
And I hope I have finally
awoken you. Tell me.
452
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Vallabhbhai, I called to tell you that
453
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,760
Pandit-ji has rejected the Viceroy's plan
454
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,800
and is threatening to
leave Simla right away.
455
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,040
So, this means that right now,
456
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,920
the Viceroy will do anything
to stop Jawahar from leaving, correct?
457
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,320
Yes, and I have a revised
plan as well, Vallabhbhai,
458
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,560
which is more in alignment
with the Congress's demands.
459
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:57,840
But...
460
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,640
There is always a
'but' in politics... go on.
461
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,000
If the Congress wants London
to accept this revised plan,
462
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,120
we will have to give them
a major concession as well.
463
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,560
Yes, go on, I'm listening...
464
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,560
Vallabhbhai, as per my revised plan,
465
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,080
no princely state or province
will have the option of independence,
466
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,440
they will have to choose between
only two options - India or Pakistan.
467
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,040
But in return, we will
have to give the Viceroy
468
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,360
what is most important to him right now...
469
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,680
-Uh...
-You understand, right?
470
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,560
Menon sahab, as I told you earlier...
471
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,120
if he protects India's interests,
we will protect his. Certainly.
472
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,960
But can you guarantee
support from the party?
473
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,320
Leave the party to me.
474
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,200
However,
475
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,240
Jawahar, I'm afraid, will have to
be brought on board by Lord Mountbatten.
476
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:02,680
Hmm?
477
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,760
Hm...
478
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,360
Good night.
479
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,480
I'm afraid I don't see
any other way, madam.
480
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,400
Perhaps if you could speak to him...
481
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,320
Were you in on this?
482
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,440
That hurts me that
you would even think that.
483
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Well, I can see that you're upset,
but this impulsiveness,
484
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,040
it serves no one.
Dickie is working on a revised plan.
485
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,720
Of course, you're here to do
your husband's bidding...
486
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,520
I am my own person.
487
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,920
But, despite our differences,
I care about him.
488
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,800
And he cares about his work.
489
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,880
Jawa, please...
490
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,320
please, tread softly.
491
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,480
For Dickie.
492
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,280
Namaskar... We have just received news
493
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,120
that the Viceroy has
suddenly left for London.
494
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,080
Therefore, the all-party meeting
scheduled for May 17th
495
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:31,760
has now been postponed to June 2nd.
496
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,720
This sudden change has prompted plenty
of speculation and conjecture.
497
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,520
Now it is really starting
to feel like something is wrong.
498
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,000
I know.
499
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,880
When the media itself is
the mouthpiece for the government,
500
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,760
nobody can be trusted anymore.
501
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,160
What happened in Simla that made
Mountbatten leave for London so suddenly?
502
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,200
That cunning little Peter Pan!
503
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Lord Mountbatten!
You have some explaining to do.
504
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,880
This new plan of yours...
505
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,520
No sooner is it on our desks
than you expect us to wave it through.
506
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,000
Due diligence...
507
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,920
what makes this one
any better than the rest?
508
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,080
A dominion... with me the head of state.
509
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,400
By George, Dickie, you've done it!
510
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,480
Thank you, Your Majesty.
511
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,160
You have the sincere
gratitude of the Crown,
512
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,880
the country,
513
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,240
and this very grateful cousin.
514
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,920
Better late than never!
515
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,880
These are Moovandan mangoes from Idukki,
Vallabhbhai.
516
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,680
Moonu means three,
and antu means year *
517
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,160
the trees bear fruit
only once every three years.
518
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:36,360
Let us get to the point,
shall we, Menon sahab?
519
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,680
Sharp as a knife. As always.
520
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,280
You were right, Vallabhbhai...
521
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,440
no matter the sacrifices we make,
522
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200
we will always be
dispensable to the British.
523
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,800
You know how they say,
524
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,600
the chickens of those that choose
poorly always come home to roost...
525
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:16,200
It seems, however, that sometimes,
the chickens bring good sense with them.
526
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,640
And mangoes too!
