I'm so happy Ajay's|chosen a girl like you...

...now I can die in peace.

Don't talk nonsense Ma.

You'll have many more years...|...and a dozen grandchildren too.

Grandchildren? First you've got to stay|home long enough to make them, dude.

UTv

The bugle sounds, the enemy wakes.|The battle is upon us.

And in our hearts, we feel the swell,|of pride and steel and valour.

For we will play the game of blood,|if dark clouds shroud our land.

Because this day, we walk with death,|and laugh at its pale spectre.

We will not fear those cruel swords,|our courage is far sharper.

We will not lower, in the face of threats,|a head raised to its mother.

We will not fear those cruel swords,|our courage is far sharper.

We will not lower, in the face of threats,|a head raised to its mother.

For let them know, their cowardly deeds,|just serve to stoke our fires.

Because this day, we walk with death,|and laugh at its pale spectre.

We bade farewell, to this day,|knowing it could be our last.

We swore to play, with our lives,|never waver in our task.

For we are but the last, few guests,|served at fate's great banquet.

We cannot quell, the raging storm,|the spirit of revolution.

For it now courses in our veins,|like lava truly molten.

We will teach them, the twin lessons,|of fear and fortitude.

Our goal cannot now hide for long,|when courage is our beacon.

Because this day, we walk with death,|and laugh at its pale spectre.

We have to take drastic measures.

What drastic measures?

Kill him.

Com'on.

Bhagat run! Quick!

You! Get going.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Inquilab Zindabad -|"Long live the revolution".

Two words that became the slogan|forthe Indian freedom movement.

Great idea!

But Bhagat, escaping|will be impossible.

Our main mission is|to get caught...

...not escape.

What?

If we get caught there|will be a trial...

...we'll get a chance|to speak.

We'll be heard.

But if they catch us,|they'll hang us for certain.

I know.

But it takes a loud noise|to open deaf ears.

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM!

UTv

KHALBALLI:

Feel the unrest sweep|through the land

Feel the unrest.|Feel the unrest.

There is an unrest sweeping|through the land.

The embers, they are burning.

The tide, it's turning.|You can feel the winds of change

Feel the unrest sweep through the land|Feel the unrest

We are political prisoners...

...we should be allowed books...|...writing material...

...and at least one|daily newspaper.

We will not eat till then.|The hunger strike will continue.

Our words won't falter now,|We will speak our mind.

We won't back down now.|Our dreams we won't leave behind.

We won't let the storm die.|Injustice we will defy.

You can feel it possess you now.|Feel it, your soul, claim.

Drink this spirit in one long swallow.|Feel it course through your veins

Let the celebrations begin now.|Feel your body sway.

In every breath feel more alive.|To keep the storm at bay

See the unrest in those eyes.|See it all around.

See it in the air, my friend.|And in those hearts, abound.

Feel the unrest sweep|through the land

Feel the unrest|Feel the unrest

The winds of change are blowing now|The tide it is, a turning.

The moment of truth is upon us now|It's time to do or die.

We are engulfed in the shadows|But we will come out brighter.

Feel the unrest.|Feel the unrest.

Pretty nice huh?|Very pretty.

In breaking news today...

...a MIG-21 fighter plane|has just crashed...

...this is the second such crash|in the past six months...

The Defence Ministry has ordered|an investigation into the crash.

We have just received|news that the pilot...

...Flight Lieutenant Ajay Rathod|has died in the crash.

Flight Lt Rathod apparently did not|eject from the burning plane...

Instead he steered it away from Ambala|city and crashed it in an open field.

Thus saving many lives

Viewers may recall...

...that until now,|163 MiG-21 of IAF have crashed...

...and 66 pilots have|lost their lives.

UTv

This game of hide and seek has gone on too long,|come home now, won't you.

I've searched high and low,

these old eyes are weary so,|come home now won't you.

Dusk is spreading like the ache in my heart,|my vision blurs, come home now won't you.

I'm in a place you wouldn't|believe Ma.

Endless skies|I can soar.

Just like your fairy tales,|it's filled with dreams.

A sea of hope with no shore.

My soul flies here, like a kite without fear.|No one to cut my strings, no more.

Flt. Lt. Ajay Rathod stayed in|the plane until the very end...

...and steered the plane|clear of Ambala city.

Thereby saving|many lives.

In the last 10 years over 100 MIG-21|aircrafts of the IAF have crashed...

...in which over 30 pilots have|lost their lives.

Defence Minister, CAG report says old & defective|Russian spare parts were procured by the govt.

Isn't this a case of|high-level corruption?

Not at all. I've personally clarified|the issue in parliament.

This is a downright lie.

The youngsters of today are brash and|irresponsible when it comes to flying planes.

No! I don't agree...

Flt. Lt. Ajay Rathod|was an ace pilot...

...who I trained...

He was a gold medallist.|The youngest to clear night sorties.

With over 1000 flying hours...

This can't be the record|of an irresponsible pilot.

Defence Minister, how many|more pilots will you send to their graves...

...before you stop the|rot in the system?

If only I could show|you this place, Ma.

Here waterfalls are|made of rainbows.

There are no roses|just bouquets of dreams Ma.

Their scent, no flower|can hope for.

Here sunlight and shadow|walk hand in hand.

Everything seems|bright and new.

But what is heaven,|and all its wonders,

when Ma, I don't have you.

From now on, the government|will make sure that...

...only experienced pilots are given|access to these machines...

...and not to rash pilots|like Ajay Rathod.

What the hell is|he talking about!

I welcome any investigation.|I have nothing to hide.

This damn MIG investigation|shouldn't take us down.

Relax Sir. Public memory is short.|Besides, we'll handle things.

Dead pilots, live very|long in the news.

But then, they join the forces to|sacrifice their lives. Don't they?

The situation is tense|at the moment.

There is growing anger|and discontent.

Directed largely towards the government.|Especially the Defence Minister.

We have with us|Ajay Rathod's mother...

The government can't wash its|hands off the issue like this.

They are answerable|to the public.

If the MIG spare parts were of doubtful quality,|why were they bought in the first place?

For what? Money?|Money won't bring our children back.

The Defence Minister|is morally responsible.

He has to resign.

It looks like the veil has been|pulled off the defence scam.

But how much|will be revealed?

Mishra,|what's happening?

Ajay Rathod was|not a novice...

...he didn't let his plane|crash into the town.

When it developed a snag|he didn't try to save his life.
