If I'm ignorant I've had it

I've already fixed

three members for you

There should be

at least 5 members amongst...

...the 9 of the Panchayat

And you will also be

involved as a Sarpanch

Has my daughter-in-law signed

You're involving the

whole family in it

This election is no game

Devidayal and Janak

will fight tooth and nail

because the Panchayat has powers.

Every vote has value. And

we've to create our strength

That is why every

candidate should belong to us.

Dad, she is pregnant.

Oh...

I'd forgotten. No...

...it's not right...

...it will save our honour

No one can say that

we're cashing on her name

What about Bhanwar's wife?

I've heard she's studied in college

Yes Bhanwar is my friend

I'd helped him with his fees

Try to recollect how

many favours you've done

Enough to trust him

This will be one more favour.

We can get the

votes of his caste too

Will you sign here

Where

Here...

and here.

What papers were they?

I don't know.

Here take this.

The rest you can complete.

Fine.

I'll leave now

In the 73rd, amendment

the ladies are the pawns.

Ghanshyam has used Pushpa Bhabi...

but he will attend the Panchayat.

We should also make our

wives contest in the election

Get her name registered in

the forthcoming election

Yes why not.

But I will not stay

at home like Pushpa

I will attend the Panchayat

Oh, come on Bhabi.

Yes, I mean it. Think over it

Devidayal, I'll be contesting anyway

So what.

There's no rule that a

wife cannot be a candidate

It is important that our

party wins in the Panch

Have faith in me

Your joys and sorrows will be

shared by Janak and Krishnabai

On one side is Kunwar

and on the other is Bhanwar

Highly educated are our women.

Tomorrow will be their turn

Vidya Devi is today's lady

On one side is Kunwar

and on the other is Bhanwar

Highly educated are our women.

Have you registered

my name anywhere?

Yes for the Panchayat membership.

That's all

Why didn't you tell me?

You'd have known once

you win the elections

Do you know the

responsibilities of the Panchayat

That's why I've sent you there

You're educated and intelligent

Anyone can shoulder

responsibilities of the house

So why not bear the

responsibilities of the village

Thank you very much

I'll have to listen to you

here and the world outside

Do I say anything. I

only listen to you

And the villagers are calm people.

There's only the

heat that you've to bear

Take your veil or else...

Welcome. Thakur Saheb

The elections must be held

uninfluenced and in calm conditions

It is going on, isn't it?

- Yes sir, as you please. Come in

I'll follow the line

it's a democratic country

No Thakur Saheb, you can go ahead

How are you, Bhanwar

- Everything fine, sir

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

He's won, He's won

Indersingh has won!

Victory to Thakur Indersingh

Victory to Thakur Indersingh

Victory to Thakur Indersingh

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

Victory to Sarpanch Indersingh

Victory to Thakur Indersingh

Victory to Thakur Ratansingh

Congratulations Kunwar

Congratulations Bhanwar

Vidya.

Congratulations.

Manju!

Vidya.

You are looking good

- Give it to me

Hey what's this. - Keep

quiet I know you're in the Panch

You've won. But it is my Victory

The Panchayat is great

The Panchayat is great!

How can I sit along with

the Thakurs in the Panchayat

We are friends Bhanwar

Sir, this is equality.

But I will not celebrate like this

I will invite you home,

and toast in the same style

In a glittering glass!

You can give me drinks in an

earthen pot I'll accept it

No, it's a bygone style...

Now it's the English style.

In a glittering

glass that too English

You'll know my status then.

Fine, I'll come and

have it in a glass.

It's a promise

True, but I shouldn't say this...

...you are in the habit of promising

Yes the mood is right

I was telling Chunni Singh...

that a telephone should

be installed in your house

Telephone? - Yes, you are

a member of the Panch now.

Am I?

- Your wife is!

But you should have a telephone

You have listened to me

and fulfilled our wish

Now it's our turn

What's the necessity of a telephone

It is necessary and

will be installed.

That's a promise.

Be happy. Daka be

with my daughter-in-law

It's alright. Don't be scared.

You know them.

Indersingh is there too

I'll be at the shop

Come Daka

Come Be careful

Be victorious

Welcome Indersingh

Please be seated

You have elected me as the

Sarpanch and given me respect

I'm thankful to you all

If given the

permission may I say something

Please do. We are here to listen

After twelve years the

elections have been held.

And you can see the results

The villagers have

made their decision

And it's my duty to

fulfil their dreams

In the presence of all the members

Pushpaji is not present

I've come in her presence

He's her husband

Fine

You are aware about the

circumstances of the village

You know the needs of this village

and it's customs

Where are you

dragging him. You beasts.

Leave him alone

Where are you taking him?

How can you be so cruel! Leave him.

He cannot walk. I beg of you

Look Kanwalsingh I beg of you

Wait, he cannot walk are you blind

Shut up, don't talk too much

You don't clear your debts and...

So do you plan to kill him

We are just taking him to the quarry

not to the guillotine

Help. Please come forward

They're making a

sick man break boulders

Somebody please help me

Don't just watch,

please come forward

Leave him... leave him...

Where are you taking

him? What has he done?

Ask them. He drinks

and sits at home...

and never bothers to work

Where will he run away?

Can't you stop them?

We don't know what

terms they're dealing with.

What can we do?

For a few days till he recovers.

They've got to fulfil

their duties and we've got ours

If you need the money

don't pay us a penny

But don't trouble a

sick-man leave him

Leave him.

Kanwalsingh I beg of you...

Leave him... leave him...

So many of you standing

here can't you say a word

Can no one help?

That lady talks a lot.

One has to reap what one has sown

Once the soil is useless

there only remains the hay

But one does sympathise.

You witnessed it that's how you know

Or else who

understands a woman's problems.

I perceived yet I couldn't

understand their problems

What could you have done?

It's not a woman's job

You were allowed to go

because of Indersingh

Don't I know how women are

treated amongst these men

As long as I'm there,

there has to be some

value for my presence

But always think before you talk...

so that you don't regret later

I still regret

When your father-in-law expired...

the brother-in-laws

took over our fields

I went to the Panchayat,

I begged of them

Nothing happened, I

came back empty handed

I became a laughing stock

and had to close my doors
