Come here.

Come, sit next to me.

Sit with me.

Okay...

But...

you'll have to guarantee me one thing.

Henceforth, your kids...

will never sleep hungry.

Give me that guarantee, | and lll eat right now.

How can l...?

Precisely!

That's why we are on a hunger-strike.

so that our children...

never have to sleep hungry.

Come on here, sit with me.

As time goes on, l | may become unconscious.

lf that happens...

do not try to revive me medically.

Uncle, l think we will be...

Promise me, you will | fulfill my instruction.

You wont stop me.

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

Up lifter of the downtrodden, | goddess sita and lord ram

lnsistence on truth

lnsistence on truth

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

Up lifter of the downtrodden, | goddess sita and lord ram

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

Up lifter of the downtrodden, | goddess sita and lord ram

Till now we had asked for patience

patience we seek no more oh god

That we keep bearing | atrocities against us

Don't give us that much strength

lt is time to rise up and fight

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

lt is time to rise up and fight

Chief of the clan raghu - lord ram

lt is time to rise up and fight

You are the ocean of mercy, | you are the savior

But the ones who oppress others, | do not fear you at all

Though you are the lord of the universe

The god who knows it all

Yet the tyrants | continue to have their way

The innocent are suffering

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

The innocent are suffering

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

The innocent are suffering

The innocent are suffering

Today we have decided | to come out and fight

we have prepared our body, mind and soul

We will not return defeated

To this day we have sworn

The soldier within us has awakened

Till now we were asleep

Lost in our dreams

Enough of taking things lying down

Oh lord ram give us the might

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

The innocent are suffering

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

lt is time to rise up and fight

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

The innocent are suffering

Oh the divine spiritual god | - lord ram

lt is time to rise up and fight

Father...

so many children have come to see you.

Daduji...

Children...

Daduji.

Daduji.

Father...

Greetings, Mr. Manav.

We were always keen tojoin you.

But you-

Never mind then.

Today, l want to help you.

l don't understand...

But l can understand...

ln spite of such a massive | movement against the government...

why is the main opposition | party not exploiting that?

Our support is yours!

But only from outside.

What is this, Mr. Manav!

This is like getting | married without pleasure of love!

We will join with you | not just in statements...

but also on the ground.

Only then will the government move!

So, this was the deal | you struck last night!

Now, this fundamentalist | party will run our movement?

C'mon, Yasmin.

Don't overreact.

Our movement needs support now.

l don't care where it comes from!

Manav, they play the | politics of communalism and hatred.

They'll hijack the whole movement.

And, wear the crown of victory as well.

But, we wont let that happen.

lt will be the peoples victory.

Moreover, what | difference does credit make.

Big difference, Manav!

Remember.

For us the means are | as important as the end.

Why don't you say this to that woman | who sends her kids to bed hungry every night?

Or to my friend, | Akhilesh, who lost his life?

You cant get | emotional and make judgments.

Why not?

l joined this movement | only for emotional reasons.

For this stubborn old man...

who is sacrificing his life | because of an uncaring government.

And you think he'd approve | of these fundamentalists?

Look, that's my responsibility, okay?

lll do whatever it | takes to end his fast.

lf they don't have the | guts to pass the Ordinance...

call for an emergency | session of the Assembly.

Well support it.

Peoples instructions should be followed.

People are the rulers.

Not obeying them is an | insult of democracy.

Really?!

What is this, Mr. Balram!

You are cancelling my | bridge-contract without a notice!

Mr. Gauri, relax. Chill. Please sit.

The notice is simply since the | work wasn't completed in time.

Whose work is ever | completed in time, tell me.

With this excuse, we | got to meet at least.

What'll you have: tea or coffee??

First take the notice back.

Ok taken.

Sit down.

Tea or coffee?

Coffee.

This is your file...

personal as well as business.

So many complaints | about projects, scams.

Fit for CBl. But, l've | suppressed everything.

You wont get a single notice. | Rest in peace.

Where am l speaking against you either?

l trust you...

No one wants to | dissolve the government...

everyone from the CM downwards has | their project-investments in the pipeline.

They'll all come to nought.

You will go bankrupt!

l have always cooperated with you.

But, your alliance partners? | How will you shut them up?

l shall request them.

They will be managed.

You know me.

Right?

Mr. Gauri Shankar...

why have you withdrawn your | support to the Jan Satyagraha movement?

Look, look. l always support the people.

However, laws can only | be made in the Assembly.

They cant happen on the | streets now, can they?

Hello Mr. Kalikant.

Yasmin, can you put an end to | Dwarka Anand's hunger strike?

l don't understand...

He has very clearly stated | that until the people's...

Look, can you end it or not?

Not till you fulfill the | demands of the people. No.

We've received a letter.

Dad, lndrojeet is here.

Daduji...

Read it aloud.

The Government wants | to discuss our demands.

And they request you to end your fast.

Uncle, nothing will make everyone | happier than you breaking your fast.

See...

Enough of politics, sir. | Please get to the point.

Were ready to discuss every point.

Just get this fast broken.

You bring in the ordinance.

The fast will break by itself.

Without the cabinets approval, | the ordinance cant..

l have the CM's approval.

l give you my personal guarantee that | the govt will bring in the ordinance.

lt could take some time.

Just get Daduji's fast broken.

Come, lets address the media together.

Wow! A terrific party is going on!

But, you forgot to invite me.

Mr. Balram, this meeting | was called in a hurry.

Mr. Kalikant, l hope the hurry | doesn't untie the cords of our alliance.

These are difficult times, Mr. Balram.

We need to find a | solution to reach a compromise.

Compromise!?

With these blackmailers?

Mister Dadu's fast is just a big farce.

Hey...

Don't you dare utter a | word against Daduji!

Have a look! The | violence of peaceful activists!

lll show you some violence!

Jump and dance as much as you want!
