Sanshodhan Page #9

You may go.

Madam, the police has

arrived at the school.

Teju had come for Kunwar

saheb but he's not there.

Teju said not to worry.

The villagers are present.

What..

- I don't know. Let me see.

What's wrong Inspector?

Illegal custody.

We've to empty the place.

Is anyone hurt?

Madam, Kunwar saheb

will come when he returns.

But I must say

these women and children

have courage.

It's alright Kalubaba.

Do you have tea leaves.

Yes.

There was so much tension

weren't you scared?

I was, for a minute I shivered.

Then I saw their faces

and decided not to move.

Didn't you think of me.

After all they were the police,

anything could have happened

It's strange.

So much has taken

place but I felt calm.

I was confident that you

would come. Mother too.

Really.

- Yes truly.

We were waiting for you, all night

The police was here,

there was tension

That's how they were ready to talk.

These women have ruined us

They don't know anything...

and are planning to do satyagraha.

Listen

Believe me Krishnaji

this matter will be discussed openly

What is there to discuss.

We've got to take a decision.

I have been taking

decisions Krishnaji.

She has a request

And there's a reason why

I was not fulfilling it

Her request is to

call the Gram Sabha.

I think we will do it

That's good

We've to give a 21 day notice

We will announce it in the village

That in 3 weeks the

Gram Sabha has been called

'Listen everybody'

In 21 days, next

month on the 12th...

The Gram Sabha has been called

in front of the Panchayat house

All the villagers,

people over 18, boys and girls...

should be present.

Let bygones be bygones

I hope everything goes

fine with this new issue.

Which new issue?

The one you started.

What do you know about it?

You mean, I...

I mean that you shouldn't interfere

You mean I shouldn't muse over this.

What is the need to think?

You have all the comforts

servants, clothes, jewellery

And if I say that

this jewellery hurts me

So now they trouble you?

Fine, discard them.

But you can't live here without them

Go and see the place once,

where you plan to go

Because once you leave

this place, you cannot return

No one will bring you back

Nor will anyone come for you.

That's my father's rule

Where are you going?

Are you coming. It's time to go.

Come quickly.

Gramsewakji, is everything ready.

Everything is fine sir.

Madam hasn't come as yet.

She will. But the ground

is empty. No one has come.

Who are you?

- Go away

We're going to the

Gram Sabha. Let us go.

There's no Gram Sabha.

Please return.

Make way

- Don't step forward

We won't go back, leave us

I'm telling you not to step forth

I might hit you! Get back!

- What are you doing?

Aren't you ashamed to

hit a lady. Move away

Move!

- Calm down.

Don't step forward..

- Do whatever you can.

I'm telling you, don't step forward.

- Run..

Tell us what shall we do?

The villagers haven't come...

...and our quorum is lacking.

The Panchayat members who made

this din about Gram Sabha...

haven't arrived as yet

We were not in favour

of the Gram Sabha...

but since everyone insisted.

You can change your mind.

Let's see later.

There must be some reason.

We'll wait for some more time.

B.D. O saheb, you...

We're already late by an hour

You can think over and decide.

Friends as you can see...

in spite of informing everyone...

the villagers haven't

taken it seriously...

So...

...the panchayat members

present here, have decided...

the meeting shall be adjourned.

And B.D. O saheb has consented to it.

Sarpanch saheb we request

you not to adjourn the meeting

What happened?

I'll tell you.

Vidya bahen...

please come here

Come here

Please come here.

I was just telling these people.

People? Where are they

A good question. Where are they?

It's already late

Can I say something

Yes. Please do. Please come here

Whom shall I talk to?

Where are the people?

But yet I will tell

those who can hear me...

I know why you haven't come here...

You have been threatened

Someone has hired

goons to terrorise us

I can say this

because I was attacked too

We were stopped from coming here

Yet...

Sisters and brothers.

We've got to overcome this fear...

And be brave, fight

against this terrorism

How long can we fear these

people and stay indoors.

I know it's not easy

to fight hired goons...

because they're violent.

But this is the time...

when we can stand up

and fight against them.

It has been proved that...

...we can achieve our

aims without violence.

This forum has

been set for you'll...

so that you can openly

talk what you always wanted...

...When you go about everyday.

The matter of workers,

the children and...

their education, their school.

This is the time to tell them

So that not only the Panch

elected by you can hear this...

...but the entire

village will know...

what you really wish.

What you want, will be

noted by the Panchayat

If you don't come out

today the entire village...

will be terrorised

by this fear forever

The silence will never be broken

They will stop you

from speaking henceforth.

We will be silenced forever...

and our dignity be destroyed

We will be silent like slaves.

I will not allow this I

will not let you do so.

The school you can see

is half constructed...

how is it complete in your records?

It's an old story. Leave that aside

No Kunwar saheb, it's not right...

you'll have to answer him.

If it is being completed...

isn't the money used

from the road scheme?

Who will give the

accounts of this scheme?

We want you to re-open

all the papers and...

records in the Panchayat...

in front of the

villagers so that they can see.

You're betraying us by

not building a school

but something else

There's nothing like that

It is, Sarpanch Saheb.

He has given this

land to the Panchayat.

Won't you let him talk

No one has given this

land to the Panchayat...

it belonged to the village...

But this family built four

walls and claimed it as theirs...

then they gave

donation for the school...

and now want it back

along with the building.

Kunwar Saheb may not be aware...

but his father cannot refuse this

All elders of my

age are aware of it.

In the year 1945 during famine...

these walls were built

and I laid the stones too

They gave us a handful of

grains and seized this land

Where are the

documents of the school land?

Why, why do you need

the land documents?

The matter was

related to the building

The land was discussed too

Kalubaba revealed that the

land belonged to the village

I told them, it belonged to us

Unless I prove it.

They won't stop talking.

The documents must be around.

I always keep them.

Are the documents true or false?

What do you mean?

Are they telling

the truth or are we?

What can I say. Our documents prove.

That is why it is

important to find them

But he said that, and the

entire village listened.

What can you do even if
