A Holy Conspiracy (দেবতার গ্রাস)

A Bengali Christian Song called 'JISHU KIRTAN'

All was dark at the beginning of Creation

Everywhere there was nothing

Only the Lord was there

God Almighty!

He created the Sky and the Earth

The world was totally dark

With emptiness all around

The God said, let there be light!

And the Light came

The God said, beautiful!

And God created Day from Darkness

He named the light as Day

And the Darkness as Night

And thus was created the First Day

But if there was nothing at all

Where did the Lord came from?

How was He created?

The answer to this question is there in the Bible

You must read the Bible

Realize it

We have our intelligence

And our hearts as well

You can't know Him by intelligence

Can't understand Him

You can realize Him only through your hearts

Let My beloved presence pervade, Let us not tarry

I come to call you, we have to hurry.

Wipe your tears, all you sick of heart.

After a long wait we shall no longer be apart.

What Divine Harmony rings in the sky today!

The Earth bedecked in joy is graceful and blissful

In this blessed world we shall at last unite

In my heart His loving face shines bright

Bring me tea

Biscuits too!

Tell me, Bibhash!

Yes, I can hear you

I'm here at Palash Danga.

How far should I proceed?

Straight? Okay, then.

Muri?

But that's in Jharkhand!

A right turn?

Okay. Let me see

If I get someone, will see

Bye.

Madhab insisted we must attend this trial date

Two months have gone after arraignment

the boy is still in jail

The local Panchayat is putting pressure

They can't keep him in custody!

My God!

But we didn't imprison him?

We suspended him on the Panchayet's advice

We didn't demand...

...to imprison or hang him!

You do understand, Pastor!

This is all vote-bank politics!

Babu Soren

He was Christian but switched side

to became a disciple of Lord Rama.

So he could be the Panchayat chief.

Elections are coming up.

He's trying to make us scapegoats.

They claim Kunal is a Hindu.

And we've sent him to custody for this!

Strange!

He was a Christian

Not a Hindu. The Santhal tribe!

They're politicizing his suspension.

You do understand that?

But you can't say it publicly.

All this is the Panchayat Chief's conspiracy

To trap our Christian school

The problem started with that book!

"Vedic science of India"

The one Kunal refused to teach

Though the Panchayat Chief recommended...

...we include it in our science syllabus

Have you got this new book?

Yes, Sir.

Do you have any idea about the book?

It's written there that...

5000 years ago

in Vedic age of India

The Sage Kanad...

...discovered the 3 Laws of Motion...

...long before Newton.

It's even says that...

...long before Wright brothers,

Sage Bharadwaj of Vedic India

discovered aeronautics!

You must learn all that from now on

But...

I can't teach this book

Since science in the Vedic age...

...is not known to me!

How far is Hillolganj?

Not too far.

Is there a crossroads ahead at Muri?

Yes, take a left from there

- How long would it take? - Half an hour's drive.

He'll go there!

- He? - Yes.

He's waiting for the bus.

Comes here often.

Can I talk to you?

Are you going to Hillolganj?

The boy told me that you are

Wait! The bus will be here soon.

I have a car, I can give you a lift

We can go together

I'm in a hurry

Not a bad idea

The Chief pressurized me.

If I didn't agree, he'd cancel...

...the school's government affiliation.

I requested Kunal many times but he refused.

The boy is an apostate, left Christianity.

Doesn't even come to Church.

Disobeys the Holy Bible.

He's become an atheist

My daughter is in love with him.

Today I will show you...

...the pictures of primitive man

Before teaching Darwin's evolution theory

These pictures will help you to understand

But the norms of our school say...

...that before teaching evolution

I have to teach Bible's Creation theory

But you know all about that

All of you come from Christian families, right?

Yes, we know.

Pastor told us in Church

God created this world in seven days

Good!

Let's do one thing now.

Let's convert this classroom into a cinema hall

Shut all doors and windows

If there was no tension about Kunal's suspension

He wouldn't have been arrested

That day it all happened so suddenly

Who started the trouble?

How the tribal people appeared?

Why the police baton charged them?

And opened fire!

I was surprised!

Later on I learnt that the Panchayat Chief...

Babu Soren instigated the tribal people

Gopal, all this is dirty politics.

So disgustingly dirty.

Let's go.

You're god sent

Anyway I am Haranath Sinha

Reporter from Morning Post

You must have read Morning Post!

It's very popular all over India

This country has gone mad.

upper cast Hindus VS Dalits...

and Aboriginal people

Pseudo-science VS Science

Majority religion VS Minority religion

All these for what?

To build a Hindu national identity

A tribal teacher of Hillolganj is in jail

Without trial for two months

You know why?

Because he refused to teach

Bible's Genesis theory before Darwin

Just imagine

Strangely he was suspended

The Santhals in the locality did not like it

There's unrest in the town

Police came and arrested the poor chap

I broke the news

The case will come...

Dad is bringing Uncle Basanta from New Delhi

He'll fight the case against you

Who is he?

Reverend Basanta Kumar Chatterjee

Member of Parliament

...and a famous lawyer!

Students will receive him at the station with a procession

He will be felicitated

More such plans...

Only I know how my days pass!

Are you eating regularly?

No appetite at all

The food they serve is horrible

Bibhash is trying to get you a good lawyer

Someone called him from New Delhi

A big shot journalist!

He may come

Let's go

Why don't you appeal to the Principal?

Say that you have not hurt any religion

Tell them you haven't damaged anything

Everything will be okay

Dad will withdraw the case
