you find the documents?

I will go to the court

and prove it through them

We can win the case with

the documents that we have...

and you can prove your

rights over the land...

but you can't prove

anything to the villagers

Why? - Because they believe

that they know the real truth.

We can fight this case

with the documents and win...

but the facts they know...

will never be wiped

out of their minds

They'll believe it.

When the birds have

already pecked the harvest

We can't get our grains

by running after them.

She's left, Kunwar Saheb

What?

She's left

Where to?

To her brother's place.

She said that she would

bring up her daughter there

It's alright, you may go.

There's no need to

write anything more.

Give it to the

Panchayat in the village.

Don't consider your

resignation as your failure.

In politics a

resignation proves one's loyalty

You can prove your merit

by agreeing to your faults

You've to work for your

seat in this democracy.

You don't win or lose forever

Everyone came running. But

how could his tiny feet.

Go or you'll be late

I'll go to my school

5 rupees onions and

6 rupees potatoes...

I've got to store goods.

Madam I can't believe that...

a school has been

built for our children

It was your dream.

I don't know about the dream...

but I wanted my son to be educated.

It was your desire

which has brought us here.

It was not just dream. My

mother had dreams too...

but she took them with her.

But you didn't hide

them or wish them away.

You shared them...

That's how we knew there

were others who wished the same.

Sometimes I'm worried.

What if we had lost this fight?

The cause would

still have been just.

We have achieved this together.

Let's see what happens in the future

I only know one thing

that these men want to rule.

They will dismiss these

women from the Panchayat.

No Mahisari

it isn't so easy to

dismiss women from the Panchayat.

It's impossible.

Our law now says

that men and women

have equal rights...

in running the village.

Let's begin our prayers.

Our village..

Hopes exist in this village.

How many dreams have been buried?

Can you recall and tell me

Let me know just once

what aims the village has.

We will have to

struggle to accomplish them.

Really struggle

And we will win.

The women will shine.

Their hopes will rise and smile.
