discussed in the Gram Sabha.

If doubts are cleared...

the matter will stop

here in the village.

So the matter is out in the open.

What's there to think.

Why be embarrassed

when it's out in the open.

Do what you can with this money.

Look Bhabi the carts

are going to the school.

Carts going to the school?

Today's a holiday,

they're bent on seizing it.

Teju go and bring

everyone to the school. Run. - Okay.

Look Bhabi there

they come. Come quickly.

What happened, Teju!

- Don't ask questions.

Hurry up. - Come on.

Let's go to the school!

School? - Come quickly!

We've to save the school!

Ms. Durga, Mr. Kalyan!

They will take over our school,

come on.

Look, they are here.

Come on, hurry up!

Come on!

Let it pass!

Come on!

Come on, hurry up!

Give way Mahisari.

Move or else there'll be bloodshed.

This is a school not a godown.

We have orders. Move away.

There'll be bloodshed.

Go away.

Mahisari move.

- Go away.

I'm telling you to go away.

- Go away.

I'm telling you to go away.

- Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

They have evil on their minds.

If we hadn't come on time...

Thakur would've seized the school

They're all corrupt.

Thakur as well as Devidayal.

Madam.

We've got to do something...

or else they'll grab the school...

And prepare false papers...

like they did with our wages.

Hello.

Hello..

I'm not connecting.

Neither at Indersingh's

nor at B.D.O.'s office.

What can the B.D.O. Do?

- He'll sanction your work.

Did you see how he cheated

us in the name of school.

He must have made over 150,000.

I had made proper payments.

It must be 12 rupees.

But Thakur took everything.

It's not a matter of

12 or 22 rupees...

but of the papers

which are different...

from those of the land.

It's a new paper with old promises.

Only the written word is true.

It's the Panchayat's

work and their money...

and we have elected the Panchayat.

We don't know what's cooking inside.

We'll question the

Gram Sabha about it.

Then why don't you call them.

I had requested, but...

If they don't listen to her

how will they listen to us.

I won't let them put a

single brick unless...

they tell us the truth.

Won't it stall the school work?

We should know

what's going to be built.

What if they take more time.

Let them take. The

school work shouldn't stop.

It will stop. We need a

place to run the school.

We need someone to run the school.

Right?

Why can't we run a school.

Why don't we do it?

We will run our own

school In this very place.

Why not?

Yes Madam.

But it's not so easy.

It's a responsible job.

But..

Why don't we share

the responsibility.

Madam, you teach our kids.

You have studied at college!

Come quickly. Teju

bring them quickly.

Mohania here.

Come on greet your 'didi.'

Do you know my name?

- No.

My name is Vidya.

- Vidya 'didi'.

Have you come to study?

- Yes.

Come on talk.

- Yes.

Will you study together?

- Yes.

First, let's know each other.

First let's play a

game to know each other.

Put your slates down.

What is my name?

- Vidya 'didi'.

What is my name?

- Mohania

Vidya has caught Mohania's hand.

What is your name.

- Tinku.

Mohania has caught Tinku's hand.

Tinku has caught Chandu's hand...

and Bhairav has caught...

What is going on here?

School is in progress.

Has the construction work stopped.

Yes. Let the

Panchayat tell us whether...

they're building a

school or a godown.

Who advised you to

stop work. Your Madam.

We decided mutually.

We'll all study..

- Together.

They are being stubborn.

It's necessary to hit back.

Sir, they are showing their fangs.

Didn't you have any idea...

that Vidya would've joined them?

I had an idea.

So, does Bhanwar need a commission.

I've promised a big sum.

They won't listen to you.

If you wish to...

I have an idea.

Let me try it my way.

Have you enjoyed your leadership.

There were dreams of

the marble quarry...

He has returned the

Ration shop application too.

I had thought we could earn more...

and improve the

condition of our house.

But how can we.

She's worried about the village.

So what if it hasn't worked out.

We are living in comfort.

Do you call this comfort.

Torn slippers and broken tiles.

We won't suffer because of it.

But I'll always remain like this...

I will never rise.

We won't have two

chairs for the corners.

Look you want to

improve this house...

but there's something

more important than that.

We will have good floors and a fan.

Is it too much?

We don't need evil money.

What evil money?

Are we living on ill-gotten money.

Our elders have earned

She talks like an enemy.

I feel that we will

buy these things...

slowly in due course.

Never. It will never be made.

If you think of the

village it will vanquish us all.

I didn't join the

Panchayat out of choice.

You dragged me into it.

But for the panchayat

not to run the school.

What is the Panchayat for.

For the people, isn't it?

If they want to...

They want everything

- Shouldn't they hope.

This is my house.

And my wishes will be fulfilled.

I'm telling you not

to meet those people.

This is not possible.

They have been deceived

and I will support them.

So go over there

and don't look at me.

Look at me.

Why are you quiet.

Look here.

You raised your hands on her!

Don't you know...

your good fortune arrived with her!

I brought you up with love and care.

That's how you got this.

How old were you? Four years?

Your uncle wanted to

adopt you but I didn't agree.

Or else you'd have

questioned me why I left you.

Why are you telling me this?

Because one has to

look after one's child...

when it is born.

You cannot shirk responsibility.

Tie it tightly.

It has become useful now.

We have pitched tents

in several villages.

It has become useful now.

Our children will not suffer.

What is this? 'B'

'B'! - 'B' for buffalo.

- 'B' for buffalo!

Good. Now next is 'C'.

What is this? - 'C'!

- 'C' for..

Cat! - Very good.

Now next is 'D'.

'D'!

- 'D' for dawn.

'D' for dawn!

It's for four forty five.

Take 5 rupees 15 paise.

The children have learnt to write.

Is that so.

Auspicious money for

an auspicious work.

Whatever you say it's

because of these women.

What others couldn't

achieve these women have!

If she had told us

she'd run the school...

I'd take the Panchayat's permission.

It will be cold at night.

Go sleep inside...

She toils in the sun

everyday with sand in her hair.

She stinks.

Bhanwar you...

It is happening because of you.

If you didn't support,

would she step out?

No, but you support her...

She's worked magic.

There are many who can

worry about the village.

But who will look after this house?

Tell me what can I do?

The hearth is better than

the harsh dust out there.

This dust is sacred to me.

But you're married.

I can't let Banwar suffer.

Give me some more time mother.

But...

Just a little more.

They won't let the school run here.
