Newton Page #6

Synopsis: As India, the world's largest democracy, braces itself for another general election- with 9 million polling booths, more than 800 million voters, and costing nearly $5 billion -- Newton Kumar, a rookie government clerk finds himself entrusted with a task that appears deceptively simple: conducting elections in a remote village in the jungles of central India. The bushes teem with Communist guerrillas, who have been waging a decades old war against the state, even as the indigenous tribals live without any access to mainland amenities. Conducting 'free and fair' elections in a minefield like this is no child's play, as Newton learns over the course of this eventful day. Unfazed with the cynicism and danger all around him, Newton is determined to do his duty. But, as they say in the jungle, 'The more things change, the worse they will get'.

The school is fine too

What about you?

You can see

I got an award for punctuality

Wow!

The department awarded you?

You see I'm always on time

The office starts at nine,

and I'm here on the dot

People think it's a big deal

Hence the award

Sir, an honest officer should

be awarded

Don't know about honesty.

I'm just doing my duty

An award for honesty involves

the greatest dishonesty

- The election has changed you a lot

- No

I haven't changed one bit.

I'm just the same

Was everything ok after I left?

A long story. I'll tell you over tea

some day

Let's have tea now

Five minutes before the next break.

Can you wait?

Yes

Let me finish this

I am glad you came
