Sujata (सुजाता)

You take it easy.

I will tell you all the details when my husband comes.

Brother, why have they come?

People living in the second plot of land are troubled by cholera.

People get scared and leave here.

They have come to ask the husband for help. - Another new question!

Mr. Das, after calling the headquarters….

...find a way to treat those people.

I will go today and meet the people in the second part...

...because I won't be coming tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday, let's hurry!

Listen Charu, Aunty has not come.

The car that went to pick him up came from the station empty-handed. - What is that?

He had said that he would come to meet us on his way to Kashi.

There must be some important work.

Today is our daughter's first birthday, but aunty can't come.

The party will be boring without him. - Yes.

Although we were not related to Aunty, more than our relatives...

...He loves us.

Now is the time to feed the baby.

Okay then, I'll get dressed later to take him.

Look at Rama's latest dress

Sha! It's very beautiful.

Today is your daughter's first birthday, isn't it?

No, on your daughter's first birthday.

And whose birthday is next year? - Rama's other birthday.

And only on Rama's birthday every year?

Please wait! I can't take care of this one child...

I don't want any more. - Gentleman!

who

what's the problem - This child, sir

Why what happened to that child? - What's next?

what are you saying Whose child are you?

This is the wife of the husband's worker.

Why didn't he come to work today?

He is dead, man.

He and his wife both died of cholera.

Yes, this epidemic is spreading everywhere.

So what brought this boy here?

Now this child has no one, sir.

Who will take care of this child? - If you can sympathize with the husband...

No way, guests will come to our house in a little while.

Go now and come back later.

welcome - How are you, uncle?

how are you uncle - How are you, sister-in-law?

Sha! Very beautiful.

Aya, take him away.

I want an ice cream. - Okay, I'll get you one.

Badal! Bring an ice cream.

Listen!

It's okay, son, don't cry.

Get in, lady.

bye Bye.

why this What are you still doing here keeping the child?

what's the problem Whose child is this?

These are the children of our worker.

His mother and father died of cholera this morning.

There is nothing I can do to take him away.

We only have the help of the husband, gentlemen.

Here, take these ten rupees...

...and find another home for him.

Where should we take this baby, sir? This little one belongs to a very low caste.

There is no one of this child's caste in this village.

Then take it to another village

I am looking for someone like that, sir, but

until then, who will take care of this Kelly?

His mother and father are gone...

Little by little, this child will become food for vultures and foxes.

I was able to save the girl because I got there on time.

Oh my god!

Charu, who wants to put this kind of trouble in the backyard?

As good as they take him. - Did you mean that?

Is it good for those foxes and vultures to take him away? - No, I mean...

Come on! - Yes ma'am?

Can you take care of this child for two or three days?

What's wrong Miss? Am I in for it?

Take him inside.

Bathe him in hot water...

...put on Rama's old dress.

Keep him in your room. - Yes, ma'am.

You are very kind lady.

Find someone of his caste as soon as possible. - Yes sir.

It takes two or three days.

I'll come back, sir, I'll come back, lady. - Good.

Is it Rama or Sujata who is crying? - Sujata?

Yes, the other child.

Oh, did you just name him?

why? Is that a bad name? - No, not like that.

It seems like a meaningless name.

That child belongs to a very low caste, but you named him Sujata.

It just popped into my head.

Who is coming in that cart?

Charu! It must be the aunt. - Aunt?!

how are you aunty - Hey, don't jump, kids!

The leg is amputated.

Because these are my grandchildren, I have no freedom at all.

He is very naughty. - Both should be blessed.

You didn't even come to Rama's birthday party...

...not even sent a letter.

I was ready to come, but I just looked at Litha and knew...

...It was not an auspicious moment, so I stayed away.

He said that it is not good to travel at such times.

Get to know him Bhavani Shankar Sharma.

He is a very knowledgeable priest.

Performing a Chandipat Pooja in the month in which the girl child was born...

...Good for that kid's future.

That's why I called him to come with us.

Praise be to the priest. - Goodbye!

This lady did not introduce me properly.

Actually, I am not a priest, but a professor of English.

I do Chandipat Pujas because of my passion...

...And those who spend time righteously...

...to happiness.

I've been sick lately.

So I thought it would be better if I went somewhere with a different climate...

...And then he himself invited me to come here.

That's why I came. - Very good.

Stay here as long as you like.

I pray that your fortunes will improve as well as mine.

Like a good son, do I have water to take a bath?

All this dust is on my body.

Go and get him some water to bathe. - Come on sir.

Go with him. - Okay.

Come in aunty.

Come on, kids. - Show me the child, what was your name?

Rama. - Rama? Sha! It is a very beautiful name.

Wait Charu, I will bring this river water from God.

Come on.

Charu, you know how Aunty is.

He really thinks about that caste.

Tell Aya to keep that child away. Aunty should not be allowed to see him.

Is this my son's daughter? Wait, I'll take him over a bit.

But... he... - Do you think about him more than his mother?

Very beautiful, just like her mother.

Born! Your daughter is very lucky.

Give him to Aya. - Your daughter is very beautiful.

You will not have to worry about his marriage.

Look how he laughs with me.

Maybe he recognized me.

Who can be heard crying inside

Did you have twins?

You didn't even tell me that. - We didn't get twins.

That is our daughter, Rama. - Then who is this?

Both his mother and father are dead so we...

But he must be from a high caste, right?

No, he is low caste. - Low caste?

Eya Upen, I didn't expect anything like this from you.

You belong to a good and important family. - But aunty...

I don't want to hear anything.

If I knew, inside this house...

...I won't even step foot here because you are keeping a low caste girl.

Please listen to this aunty...

Auntie, now you know the whole story.

Now tell me what you would do if you were in our place?

What I thought was unfair...

...I still see it that way.

But aunty it's... - Upen!

Don't argue with me for having read an English book or two!

Man, that man is leaving. - Going to go?

Priest, why what?

what's the problem

All this is God's will.

I want to go when I want to go.

Aya told me and I saw with my own eyes...

...that you keep a low caste child in your house.

That's amazing! Is that where you're going?

There is nothing surprising about that.

Our religion has...

...It is not to catch a low caste to keep with us.

You are a very knowledgeable person.

You must know that it is also said in science - what?

A gas is released from the bodies of those low castes.

It pollutes the bodies and souls of important people like us.

Have you seen the said gas?

Did you know that food contains vitamins? - Yes.

Have you seen that vitamin? - No.

Does that mean that food contains vitamins?

OK, I'm going now.

You asked me to stay...

...But it's my misfortune that I can't stay longer.

Have a good trip.

The priest got angry and left.

Please stop him aunty. - Now he won't stop when we say so.

I know him very well and he is very pious.

I can put up with your rude behavior but he won't.

What do we do now?

Get rid of this problem as soon as possible.

I say this for your own good.

I have no problem with that, I will go to Kashi tomorrow.

Why are you so quiet? - What should I do?

I started to feel scared too

Because that priest said about a gas?

No, no, it's not. I hope we won't suffer.

We don't want to suffer...

...But those who do injustice in the name of religion will suffer the same.

Don't laugh at every question.

Aunt also thinks that we will get rid of this girl's problem soon.

Listen, tell the guard to take him away.

Ah, is this Sujata? Nice little kelly. Look at her beauty... - Aya!

Why did you touch him?
