Haque

Sanjay, I've troubled you a lot.

But I need you to do me one last favour.

Why are you saying all this?

Here are a few pages,

I have penned down the story of my life in them.

If possible, try to get it published

I want the world to know,

why I had to resort to violence.

'I was brought up in a family,'

'where daughters were taught to worship their husbands.'

'When I got married,'

'I took up the role of a dutiful wife.'

'His happiness was my happiness.'

'His problems were my problems.'

'And then came the elections.'

'It was a crucial time.'

Why don't you answer me?

Why do you need my help all of a sudden?

Bittu.

Gurudev,

you are my political mentor.

I'm in trouble and only you can help me.

What is the problem?

My opponent, is being backed by the government.

With the help of the police and money, he can do as he wishes.

We have just a few workers.

Today, they went to put up some posters,

but they were beaten.

Please tell me,

how can I win the elections?

You are my student.

I've always dealt with things in a tactful manner.

How did you do that?

I'll have to think about it.

Slowly.

Bring it carefully.

Didn't I tell you to be careful?

Why did you drop it? You could've broken it.

Varsha, what is this?

I asked, what is this?

Look, this is a crib for our child.

It has a rattle too. - Get lost!

We are discussing an important issue

and you are bothered about a petty crib.

Go to your room.

I said go!

I'm sorry.

Bittu, you have won the election.

How?

I'll explain, after all it's politics.

I apologise for shouting at you in front of everyone.

I know it was wrong, I'm sorry.

Please get ready, I have to attend an important election meeting.

C'mon.

What will I do there? Why don't you go alone?

Don't argue, I'll be waiting for you. Come soon.

Listen, I'm pregnant

and I don't feel comfortable going outside in this state.

In fact, it'll work in my favour.

You're pregnant, if you attend the election meeting like this,

people will say,

Mr Singh's wife knows the importance of his job.

Don't take too long, I'll be waiting for you in the car.

Get ready quickly.

Hey! Get out of the way!

Down with Mr Singh!

Down with Mr Singh!

Stop!

Friends!

Today is the last day of the election campaign.

Today my wife and I left the house to attend this meeting,

but a few of my opponent's men, attacked us.

They attacked our unborn child

who is still in its mother's womb.

It has nothing to do with the elections.

Can you see the bruises on my wife's body?

It is an attack on our social system.

Not only have they bruised my wife,

it is also an attack on your mothers, daughters and children.

What do you have to say?

You should prove to the world,

that peace and harmony is not all that you want.

You know how to respect the women in our society.

This is not only an attack on my wife,

it is also an indication, that my opponent is not fit for this job.

But please don't lose patience...

Doctor!

Doctor!

You are awake.

Don't worry, it's a minor wound. You'll be absolutely fine.

Doctor, my child...

You are young. You can try again.

Doctor, my child? - I'm sorry.

Mr Singh has won!

Mr Singh has won!

Mr Singh has won!

Mr Singh has won!

Doctor. - Yes?

Ms Singh is experiencing breast pain.

She has started lactating, but the child is no more.

There is a newborn child in the maternity ward.

Give that child to Ms Singh for feeding. - Okay.

Where are you taking the baby?

To its mother.

Give me the baby, I am the mother.

Go to sleep, I'll bring the baby tomorrow.

I said, give me the baby! I am the mother!

Stop! Give me the baby.

I am the mother!

Wait, stop!

Give me my baby.

I will kill everyone.

Give me my baby.

Leave me! - What are you doing?

Give me my baby.

Okay. Stop! - Stop! I will kill everyone.

You will have a baby. Go inside, Ms Singh. Please.

Leave me!

Doctor, you know the state is in a turmoil.

I have a lot of responsibilities.

It's impossible for me to come to the hospital now.

But Mr Singh, your wife's condition is deteriorating.

She's going crazy and we have to take an immediate decision.

What decision?

Whether we should give her electric shock.

Who is the doctor?

But we need your permission.

You don't need to ask me, do what you feel is right.

And please don't disturb me. Thank you.

Hello.

How are you, Bittu? I fulfilled my promise.

I helped you win the election.

Are you happy?

Bittu.

This happiness has brought along grief too.

I lost my child.

I wish my child was alive.

Bittu, you gain some and you lose some.

But why?

No one else but god, can answer that question.

Bittu, if I had created this world,

no one would have to cry in order to laugh.

A day wouldn't be followed by night.

Ask the policemen not to hit anyone. Move aside.

Move aside.

Stop.

Do you want to hit me?

Go ahead, let me assure you that you won't be arrested.

Hit me.

Swami Haridas.

It's been 37 years, since our country gained independence.

For 37 years, a single party was ruling this country.

For 37 years, the people of your religion were ill-treated.

And you kept quiet all these years.

You have never protested.

But now that we have come into power,

you are seeking justice for the crimes we haven't committed.

I am the Chief Minister

of all the people of different castes.

Everyone will have their say in the decisions, I make.

Understand?

Make way for me,

make way for yourself.

If you try to come in my way and stop me,

you'll stop this country from progressing.

Understand?

What are you doing here?

I...

Hos...

I want to go home.

Hasn't anyone come to receive you?

That's strange.

Where do you want to go?

To my house.

Aren't you Ms Singh? The Chief Minister's wife.

Yes. - Oh! Now I understand.

Mr Singh and you were attacked.

And the outcome of the attack was that, you were hospitalised

and he became the Chief Minister.

Everything changed, right?

Come, sit. I'll drop you home.

I'll go on my own.

What? No one has noticed you except me.

It'll be a disaster if anyone else sees you.

Come, I'll drop you home. Sit.

This is your new house.

The Chief Minister's residence.

Hey! Who are you?

Go away from here!

I think you don't recognise her.

She is Mr Singh's wife,

she was in the hospital when he won the elections.

What are you looking at? Let her go inside.

I'll leave.

Why don't you come in for tea? - Some other time.

I'll come later.

It'll give me a reason to meet the Chief Minister.

He's an influential man.

Thank you. - Take care.

Varsha, I'm sorry for not being able to visit you at the hospital.
