Bangistan Page #7

Synopsis: Bangistan is a whip smart and uproarious satire on fundamentalism and the story of two unlikely terrorists, the antitheses of each other, with a common destructive goal. Concerned by the unrest in the name of religion, Subcontinental leaders of Muslims and Hindus, the Imam and the Shankaracharya, announce that they're attending the International Peace Conference in Krakow in a joint effort to help unite the two religions in perpetual harmony. Rival rabble-rousing ragtag organizations, the Islamist Al-Kaam Tamam and right-wing political party Maa Ka Dal separately recruit and brainwash Hafeez and Praveen to suicide bomb the conference so that they may continue to wield their local influence. After a rigorous, and hilarious, 'training' period the two men switch their religious identities to stay under the radar. Hafeez, the jihadi, masquerades as a conservative Hindu, Ishwarchand; while Praveen, the Hindu soldier, dons the garb of a practicing Muslim, Allahrakha. Focused on the mission,

Hadn't she requested for presents?

Go...

Go back to your people, brother.

And now, a few words by the Shankaracharya and the Imam...

Before we proceed to the main conference hall.

Out of my way.

Let's get this over with.

Greetings everybody!

A warm welcome to all of you...

A warm welcome to you too madam -

This is uncalled for... Out!

Why have I come here?

Why have I come here in a burqa?

Zulfi!

I have come here to proclaim...

Er... What am I here to proclaim again...?

I've got to stop him.

There is only one true faith in the world.

We are all part of that faith.

All religions are born from this faith...

And will one day be swallowed by it.

All religions are tied together by this faith...

And must bow down to it!

Something's not right.

Today...

Today I will...

Show the world...

How did he get in there? Inside, now!

What's this? Looks like trouble. Inside, now!

I understand that sir, but the presence of authorities here...

Goes against the spirit of the Conference

There are terrorists inside! That's very racist, sir.

Sir, stop!

Stop, surrender terrorist! He has a bomb!

Everybody get down! Everybody get down!

Isn't that Harold? Why is he in Poland?

Not now, son. Only after we leave.

Why?

Don't you want to go to heaven?

We'll go together, Abba. No, son, no!

Get him under control!

Oh my Lord, forgive us our sins..

Save us from the fires of hell...

Oh dear God, save us from these terrorists.

Quiet! Enough!

I am not a terrorist!

Done talking to Him?

This Almighty... How does He communicate?

Does He call?

Or email?

Or send a courier? How does He communicate?

If He wishes, He can communicate directly to us.

He doesn't need middlemen!

A terrorist imparting wisdom. Who will listen to you?

I have listened to him!

Greetings, Guruji. All okay?

Don't forget him, Hafeez. He'll come to heaven too. Right?

Auntie, put on the TV. Praveen is on the news.

Praveen?

Threatening us with guns? We'll blow up the bomb.

Put them down. Let us finish talking.

Go on Hafeez. They have to listen to us.

But who to talk to?

Here's a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian...

And you, sir...

I don't even know your faith. There are too many to count.

But all faiths are only doors...

Open any of them, you'll enter the same house.

Oh wow... There are 4231 religions...

And we're going on about our own faiths. You know why?

Because we were never taught about other faiths.

Don't be afraid of us. We're only the means to an end.

Be afraid of the hatred we are teaching our children.

If my child is killed, I should try and save all other children.

Instead here I am, avenging my faith with a bomb!

Sir, no matter which faith wins...

It is humanity that loses.

If you and I exchanged places...

We would understand each other better.

All we have to do is bridge the divide.

We already know this in our hearts...

Let's embrace it.

I have.

He has.

You can arrest us now.

Praveen, I'm glad to have met you.

Me too.

The two young men who were presumed terrorists...

Have actually sacrificed themselves to save everyone.

The death of the saviours is deeply saddening...

Their sacrifice will not be in vain.

Hafeez...

Hafeez...

I want to drink the nectar of eternal life

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

I want to drink the nectar of eternal life

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

Today is mine, I'll live it up.

We'll see about tomorrow when it comes.

The embers of my heart will set the world alight

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

The embers of my heart will set the world alight

They say - die and go to heaven but I insist on staying alive

I insist, I insist I will stay alive

I insist, I insist I will stay alive

Useless bomb... Must be Chinese.
