Brides face is very bright...

...like morning sunshine of Spring.

She is very attractive and beautiful

Now everywhere, there

is greenery everywhere.

Good fortune has

stepped into my home

In the sunshine,

we have welcomed her with aarti

Today she will get her

moon after showing her face.

Today she will get her

moon after showing her face.

The bride is very

different than others

Good fortune has

stepped into my home

My fortune became favourable.

My fortune became favourable.

How much is it?

- Fifty.

Did you measure properly?

Has the measure done

with one hand come to fifty?

Have you seen the bride?

- Vidya is my friend.

We will tell father

and call her here only.

Girna, we are not happy to

take the possession of your land.

But your loan amount

is increased too much.

We are getting only Rs. 2085

after selling your whole land.

My land is...

...the sign of our ancestors, sir

You are repaying the

loans of your ancestors only.

Kuditji, why are you not taking

him for mining work? - Yes Sir.

Are his land papers ready?

Take this paper.

Stamp it with your thumb.

Yes, put it here.

Come here. Put it here.

Put your thumb impression.

Girna, keep sitting.

Keep this thousand

rupees now. Is it okay?

If one's land has gone, he won't

be able to survive in this village.

Now this mine is only there.

If you get this younger one

then I will give Rs 400 more

He will not go to the mine.

- He will earn something.

He will also learn some work.

You do whatever you like.

But I will not send him.

I will teach him and I will

make him a capable person.

There is no school in the

village then how you will teach him?

There is a school, it is half built.

Other half will also be built.

School will open, somebody

will come to teach our children.

See Girna, I will tell

Thakur and I will increase...

...at least 100 to 125 for him.

Now you think over it.

Thinking that Mohaniya will

become educated is just arrogance.

Whatever god has written

for us only that will happen.

There's a letter

from the Prime Minister

It's written in the

Panchayat Newsletter

Which I will now read to you

He has written that...

You... I mean the Sarpanch

The election of the village council

will be held for the welfare

and prosperity of the village

They have hopes

that the Panchayat...

will be able to fulfil them.

It has to be considered

The women, the under

privileged should be given...

a representation in the Panchayat...

...to give them equal

rights and opportunity.

Seats should be reserved

for women members of all castes...

One third of the seats

have been reserved for them

So, this is the news

Yes, sir.

By the 73rd amendment

passed by the parliament...

and endorsed by the President

the Panchayat Raj has become

an integral part of

our constitution...

We cannot deny them

this democratic power

We can't keep it

pending for a long time

Elections will be held now

After twelve years!

Yes and we can't delay them either.

Your work load will

increase B.D.O. Saheb

But carry on with the elections

Let's see who will win.

Who can oppose you Thakur Saheb

I don't wish to

participate in this election

Really?

Yes Devidayal, I'm thinking about it

There's a quota for women too

Yes, he told me that...

amongst nine members

three women must be present

Then we'll have to

look out for them.

There's no one present here

That is why it's

important to give them a chance

When they lose an opportunity

you can say that we tried.

The govt. Feels that...

the Panchayat will work for

the poor and for the masses...

only when their

representative is present there

That's why women and the backward

classes have been given a quota

That's alright B.D.O.

Saheb but tell us...

has anything new been

decided on the Panchayat Powers

The welfare of the village

will now depend on the Panchayat

What should we do?

What shouldn't we do?

How do we go about it?

All the decisions will

depend on the Panchayat

Yes, you've put your

burden on us and you're happy

There will be a

change in the Panchayat

Only time will tell.

Till then you can

gauge your strength

Declare the date of elections.

It'll create havoc after 12 years

This is too much! Can't

you contest this election

How can I? I've never

stepped out of the house

I don't know how you

passed your internship

I studied at home and gave my exams

You don't have to go anywhere.

Just a signature is enough

Aunt was advising that...

...I shouldn't strain

and trouble myself

It can affect the child

Yes, it's a nice excuse

Why don't you ask Vidya.

She's passed with a first class

She used to address

meetings at the college

She's my childhood

friend She won't refuse me

If you say...

Shall I meet her?

Sit down

- It's alright, sir.

Please be seated be comfortable

I'll send a few

pillows to your place

You'll get used to it

You've worked hard all these years

Now you can lead a comfortable life

Chunni Singh

- Sir.

Take it Punaram

Where shall I put

the thumb impression

Here. Give me that one

Give me that one

I'm helping you to

contest the Panchayat elections

You'll have to get the

votes of your group.

But you're my lord, sir

Bear this in your mind

You'll be sitting with Kunwar...

in the Panchayat in

front of the people

Yes sir

Take this

Come

Chunni singh is great. I've

just got to tell him and...

Have you filled the forms

for the post of Sarpanch

Yes, I will

Why don't you contest

for the Sarpanch's seat

No one will oppose you

Devidayal has become smarter.

He'll contest as a Sarpanch

And shall I oppose a contractor

Something new is

happening all the time

Why not do something new.

I'm trying for MLA's seat

If I don't go ahead in my old age,

I'll be known as a fool

Then forget the Panchayat dad

I've been working for 19 years!
