despite all impediments

Forgive me...

for committing such a grave sin

I'll never stray from my duty again

I forgive you

I've prayed to God with all my heart and soul

I hope He forgives me

The penance is over, right mother?

Yes, it is over

A petty squabble amongst a group

of Muslims and Hindus...

has turned into a communal riot...

in Sewapuri, a small town near Benares

To control the situation additional

forces have been deployed

Some bodies are charred

beyond recognition

Paul Gordon, a foreign journalist,

has been killed in this riot

Paul was writing a book

on the Hindu religion

- Who are you?

What are you doing here?

- I am a journalist, please leave me alone

- Surya Prakash is right

- Mani can't live in this house

- Where will she go?

- Your stubbornness has caused this nuisance

- She is my daughter. I will not abandon her

- Wait till Punditji arrives

He'll drill some sense into you

This is an emergency

It is true that...

Mani had abandoned this house...

but, being the father of a widow...

it is your duty,

according to the scriptures...

to provide for her food, clothing...

shelter, medicines etc

- The communal violence that

originated in Sewapuri...

- has spread like wild fire to Benares

- To control the situation,

a curfew has been clamped...

- in the Muslim areas of the city

- Rioting and arson have been

reported from many areas...

- in the ancient holy city of Benares

Mother!

'My Lord Shiva, the one in eternal bliss'

'You embody the scriptures.

You are resplendent, omnipresent'

Mother!

'You are limitless and pure like the sky'

'I adore you'

- Please listen! Open the door

Mother, Kartikey is here

- 'O benevolent Lord of the Himalayas'

- 'O eternal soul'

Riots have broken out in our area

It was tough bringing Mustafa here

- Kartik, he's your Kartik

- 'You are beyond human knowledge'

- Only you can save him

- 'O destroyer of evil. I bow to you'

- Please protect him

- Open the door! They will kill him

- 'The Ganges is Your crown'

- Please open the door

- 'The cresent moon Your ornament'

- 'You dwell in all living beings'

- Allah is watching you!

- 'O Lord and Master,

I adore You'- Please save this innocent life

You are his mother! He is your Kartik!

How can you beso stone hearted?

- 'O beloved Lord of all'

- 'Your beautiful large eyes are... '

- For God sake, help us

- 'always full of mercy'

- Please don't let him die!

Let him in, mother

Call your mother

Call out to her

Call her again!

- 'I bow prostrate to You'

- Call out to your father

Quiet, father is praying!

'O my Lord Shiva...

I adore You'

Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva

By not taking him back...

we've fulfilled our duty as Hindus

Haven't we?

Another prayer ceremony...

to calm my restless mind

With a calm mind...

- I shall perform my duty tonight

- I've heard, one of them tried to escape

- No. He was nabbed!

- The real task was done by Pandharee

- What did he do?

- Like those Muslims stabbed

the Hindu to death...

- Pandharee did the same...

- Women, old men, children,

he spared no one

- Our religion is being destroyed...

- by the non-believers

- We will teach them a lesson tonight

- Not one will be left alive

- We'll kill them all!

This is a very auspicious day

Today, as a Brahmin,

you pray for our faith

and Surya Prakashji...

will protect our faith, as a warrior

It's time all of us fulfill our duties...

to protect our faith, our religion

It's not easy to abandon the one you love

The divine light created by the Lord...

is the genesis of all mankind

Then how can one man...

be different from another?

Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva!

Surya Prakash...

violence is a grave sin!

This is a do or die situation

Sermons won't work here.

Only the sword will

Goras, get him!

- Mustafa

Love for that child has misled this priest!

I'll kill him!

From the day you were born,

I have tried to teach you the

meaning of religion

I will not let you tread the path of sin

Religion is not only devotion...

but also duty and deeds

Religion is unity and brotherhood

Religion means looking beyond

caste and creed

Humanity is religion

This...

This...

this...

this is not religion

'As You lead us...

to the place you dwell...

our sins of seven life times...

will be destroyed'

- Oh Lord of the heavens

- Blessed is thy name

- Be it God, be it Allah

You are the same

- Grant us all this wisdom -
