3
00:00:31,708 --> 00:00:33,458
Okay.

4
00:00:33,541 --> 00:00:36,291
Okay.

5
00:00:36,958 --> 00:00:40,333
Okay, okay, okay.

6
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:45,083
1832,
Vadaal, a village in Gujarat,

7
00:00:45,166 --> 00:00:49,666
a son was born in Mulji Jivraj's
orthodox Vaishnav family.

8
00:00:57,666 --> 00:01:00,416
Just look at him.
He looks exactly like his grandfather.

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,416
So let us name him after his grandfather.

10
00:01:04,666 --> 00:01:08,083
Karsan. Karsan Das.

11
00:01:08,166 --> 00:01:10,875
Since childhood,
Karsan didn't like being called "Das"

12
00:01:10,958 --> 00:01:14,208
meaning servant
and he made his displeasure evident.

13
00:01:15,916 --> 00:01:17,666
There he goes again.

14
00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:21,166
Your son can't stay still
even for ten minutes.

15
00:01:21,833 --> 00:01:24,500
My Karsan can't be bound by anything.

16
00:01:25,583 --> 00:01:27,250
Is that so, child?

17
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,541
As Karsan
grew older, his curiosity and questions

18
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:32,041
grew by leaps and bounds.

19
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:34,250
Why did you put grains into the fire?

20
00:01:34,333 --> 00:01:36,041
To send it to God.

21
00:01:36,125 --> 00:01:38,583
Does that mean
the fire knows where God lives?

22
00:01:40,208 --> 00:01:41,541
Yes, this one.

23
00:01:41,625 --> 00:01:42,458
-Ba?
-Yes?

24
00:01:42,541 --> 00:01:44,500
Why do we go to the mandir every day?

25
00:01:44,583 --> 00:01:47,541
Not mandir. It's called Haveli.
I've told you, right?

26
00:01:55,083 --> 00:01:58,708
Bhabhu, tell me,
who is that next to Shriji Baba?

27
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:01,083
Vallabhacharya,

28
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:03,250
the founder of our religious sect.

29
00:02:03,833 --> 00:02:07,250
And that is Yamuna Maharaniji,
Shrinathji's sister.

30
00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:11,041
If you have so many questions,
how will you ever pray?

31
00:02:11,125 --> 00:02:12,833
Come on, join your hands.

32
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:17,708
Oh, Shriji Baba,
take good care of my Karsan.

33
00:02:17,791 --> 00:02:20,125
Does Shriji Baba know
how to speak Gujarati?

34
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:21,833
Is He from our village?

35
00:02:21,916 --> 00:02:24,333
-Please tell me, Ma.
-Karsan, join your hands now!

36
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:29,000
Bapuji? Why do Ba
and Bhabhu cover their face?

37
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:31,958
So she can be protected
from negative energy. Careful!

38
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:34,375
-Be careful.
-Careful.

39
00:02:35,833 --> 00:02:38,916
Bapuji, what's the point
of them covering their face

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,541
if they can't see properly?

41
00:02:40,625 --> 00:02:42,458
This curious
and outspoken Karsan

42
00:02:42,541 --> 00:02:44,291
had to grow up ahead of his time,

43
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:48,541
when he lost his mother
at the tender age of ten.

44
00:02:57,916 --> 00:02:59,791
After this, his father remarried.

45
00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:02,125
Karsan's maternal uncle, or Mamaji

46
00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:06,000
uprooted this young sapling
and brought him to the city.

47
00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:10,166
Bombay,

48
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:15,541
the city of seven islands,
gifted in dowry to an English king.

49
00:03:15,625 --> 00:03:18,250
The king rented it
to the East India Company

50
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,666
for the amount of ten pounds per year.

51
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:26,791
Even then, Bombay was less a city
and more of an idea,

52
00:03:26,875 --> 00:03:28,166
a busy port,

53
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,458
that became the hub of the cotton traders
of the Gujarati Vaishnav sect.

54
00:03:33,666 --> 00:03:37,041
Back then, the Vaishnavs
had seven Havelis in Bombay.

55
00:03:38,916 --> 00:03:42,541
In the heart of Kalbadevi,
stood the most significant Haveli.

56
00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:47,333
The British were the rulers then,
but people revered only JJ.

57
00:03:48,083 --> 00:03:52,041
JJ - the Haveli's head maharaj.

58
00:03:54,583 --> 00:03:58,083
Close to this big Haveli
was Karsan's mamaji's house,

59
00:03:58,166 --> 00:03:59,958
where he took root again.

60
00:04:05,541 --> 00:04:06,583
Bhabhu!

61
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:13,583
Amidst Bhabhu's love
and the strictures of Vaishnav traditions,

62
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:15,125
Karsan grew up.

63
00:04:17,625 --> 00:04:21,250
Soon enough,
Karsan became a part of Bombay,

64
00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:25,166
and Bombay, a part of Karsan.

65
00:04:39,666 --> 00:04:42,208
I'm an untouchable! Move away!

66
00:04:42,291 --> 00:04:44,666
I'm an untouchable! Move away!

67
00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:47,375
I'm an untouchable! Move away!

68
00:04:47,458 --> 00:04:48,666
Bhai, give me some chutney.

69
00:04:49,458 --> 00:04:50,333
Huh?

70
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,583
It's very crowded there.
Can you give me some?

71
00:04:53,666 --> 00:04:56,291
You'll be cursed for life.
I'm an untouchable.

72
00:04:58,041 --> 00:05:00,625
I asked for chutney,
you're telling me about your caste.

73
00:05:04,291 --> 00:05:06,125
Karsan's revolutionary thinking

74
00:05:06,208 --> 00:05:08,916
was inspired
by reformers like Dadabhai Naoroji.

75
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,916
-Ah, Karsan, my boy, come in.
-Sir. Good morning. Thank you!

76
00:05:12,916 --> 00:05:16,750
Karsan often wrote articles
for his newspaper, Rast Goftar.

77
00:05:17,833 --> 00:05:19,791
THE RAST GOFTAR

78
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:22,875
People were introduced
to a new way of thinking

79
00:05:22,958 --> 00:05:26,041
and radical ideas
that questioned social evils.

80
00:05:27,291 --> 00:05:28,583
It wasn't just the common man,

81
00:05:28,666 --> 00:05:33,333
but also the famous social activists
fighting for freedom, progress and reform,

82
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:36,291
Seth Gokuldas Tejpal and Sohrabji Ardeshir

83
00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:38,083
who began reading his articles.

84
00:05:38,916 --> 00:05:40,500
Being a widow is not a crime.

85
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:41,583
WIDOW REMARRIAGE

86
00:05:41,666 --> 00:05:44,708
Nor is it a disease
that we exclude them from the community.

87
00:05:44,791 --> 00:05:47,875
Isn't it already tragic enough
that someone lost their life partner…

88
00:05:47,958 --> 00:05:50,625
People began attending
Karsan's meetings.

89
00:05:51,125 --> 00:05:53,333
So did Tejpal and Ardeshir.

90
00:05:54,875 --> 00:05:55,916
Bhabhu!

91
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:00,333
Bhabhu.

92
00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:03,333
Hey! What's this?

93
00:06:06,458 --> 00:06:07,708
Happy Holi to you, Bhabhu.

94
00:06:08,458 --> 00:06:10,666
Bless you.
Happy Holi.

95
00:06:10,750 --> 00:06:13,541
If I had my way, I'd cover you in color.

96
00:06:13,625 --> 00:06:15,500
But you can't have your way, can you?

97
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:17,000
Someday I will.

98
00:06:17,083 --> 00:06:18,666
One day everything will change.

99
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:20,458
One day, every widow--
Shh!

100
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:22,250
You and your reforms.

101
00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:25,833
Now go and play Holi with the one
for whom you've got this color.

102
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:30,166
You've waited for many years
since the engagement and so has she.

103
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:32,041
You'll be married soon.

104
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:34,125
Everything will change after that.

105
00:06:34,208 --> 00:06:36,416
Why will everything change after marriage?

106
00:06:37,958 --> 00:06:41,041
These young and carefree thoughts
are often tamed by the veil, beta.

107
00:06:42,166 --> 00:06:45,208
Forget it. Now go! Go, go!

108
00:06:46,041 --> 00:06:48,166
-Tell me how do I look?
-Very handsome.

109
00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:52,833
Bhabhu?

110
00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:55,041
Hey! Karsan!

111
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,500
-Jai Shri Krishna, Mukhiyaji!
-Jai Shri Krishna.

112
00:07:35,583 --> 00:07:36,833
No color on you today?

113
00:07:36,916 --> 00:07:40,958
Oh, let Lalla play first.
After that I'll play Holi with you all.

114
00:07:51,791 --> 00:07:53,083
What?

115
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:55,083
What is wrong with you?

116
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:56,333
I can't understand.

117
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:59,625
Take your hand off my mouth.
Then you'll understand.

118
00:08:00,541 --> 00:08:01,458
No!

119
00:08:01,541 --> 00:08:03,625
We can't play Holi
till JJ puts color on Lalla

120
00:08:03,708 --> 00:08:05,541
and celebrates Holi before all of us.

121
00:08:05,625 --> 00:08:07,000
And where does it say so?

122
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:10,041
Why do you always want proof?
If you had your way,

123
00:08:10,125 --> 00:08:12,916
you'd be looking for Sri Krishna's
signature in the Bhagvad Gita.

124
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,666
-Your devotion itself is flawed.
-And so is your love.

125
00:08:16,666 --> 00:08:18,041
I am your fiancé.

126
00:08:19,291 --> 00:08:22,333
I have the right
to put color on you before anyone else.

127
00:08:22,416 --> 00:08:25,458
Arey!
Didn't I tell you not to?

128
00:08:25,541 --> 00:08:27,708
Maharaj comes before the fiancé.

129
00:08:27,791 --> 00:08:29,291
and religion before love.

130
00:08:30,041 --> 00:08:31,250
It'll be a big sin.

131
00:08:32,125 --> 00:08:34,458
And what if I can't see colors
in my next life?

132
00:08:35,666 --> 00:08:37,083
Do you think that can happen?

133
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:40,250
I do. JJ said so in a sermon.

134
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:41,791
JJ can't be wrong.

135
00:08:41,875 --> 00:08:43,666
Whatever JJ says is right, uh?

136
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:45,583
His words are set in stone.

137
00:08:45,666 --> 00:08:49,208
Maharaj is Lord Krishna's descendant.
That's why he is called JJ.

138
00:08:49,291 --> 00:08:50,791
He can never lie to devotees.

139
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:53,291
One can reach God directly, Kishori.

140
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:56,291
There's no need for a JJ in between.

141
00:08:56,916 --> 00:09:00,083
If you obsess about the means,
you'll lose sight of the target.

142
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:01,583
Won't you?

143
00:09:04,416 --> 00:09:06,333
Be direct. Don't talk in riddles again.

144
00:09:09,291 --> 00:09:10,541
Okay, fine.

145
00:09:11,583 --> 00:09:13,875
I will not question
your devotion ever again,

146
00:09:14,541 --> 00:09:17,083
and you don't question my beliefs. Okay?

147
00:09:18,125 --> 00:09:18,958
Happy?

148
00:09:20,375 --> 00:09:21,250
Hmm.

149
00:09:22,208 --> 00:09:24,375
We're getting married in a few days.

150
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,583
Surely I have the right now.

151
00:09:30,541 --> 00:09:31,916
-Kishori!
-Maasi.

152
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,291
-JJ is arriving.
-JJ is here.

153
00:09:35,958 --> 00:09:38,875
Kishori! Hey, be careful!

154
00:10:20,875 --> 00:10:23,958
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

155
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:25,708
All hail Yadunath Maharaj!

156
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:27,000
Hail!

157
00:10:27,083 --> 00:10:29,916
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

158
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,583
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

159
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:35,333
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

160
00:10:35,416 --> 00:10:37,791
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

161
00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:40,208
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

162
00:10:40,291 --> 00:10:42,791
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

163
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:45,916
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

164
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,208
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

165
00:10:48,291 --> 00:10:50,833
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

166
00:10:50,916 --> 00:10:52,750
All hail Yadunath Maharaj!

167
00:10:52,833 --> 00:10:53,958
Hail!

168
00:10:54,041 --> 00:10:55,583
All hail Yadunath Maharaj!

169
00:11:19,583 --> 00:11:23,041
-All hail Giriraj Dharan!
-Hail!

170
00:11:23,125 --> 00:11:25,958
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

171
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,666
All hail Giriraj Dharan!

172
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:48,166
Hail!

173
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,166
All hail Ladle Lal!

174
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:56,000
Hail!

175
00:15:53,708 --> 00:15:55,833
All hail Yadunath Maharaj!

176
00:15:55,916 --> 00:15:57,083
Hail!

177
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,041
All hail Vallabhadhish!

178
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:00,250
Hail!

179
00:16:00,333 --> 00:16:03,083
-All hail Giriraj Dharan!
-Hail!

180
00:16:03,166 --> 00:16:06,000
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

181
00:16:06,583 --> 00:16:10,541
Amongst all the girls, you've
been chosen to do charan seva this Holi.

182
00:16:10,625 --> 00:16:12,625
I feel I've already attained moksh, Masi.

183
00:16:12,708 --> 00:16:15,083
Please tell Ma,
she must make laapsi to celebrate.

184
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:16,333
Sure.

185
00:16:16,416 --> 00:16:19,083
-Ah, Jai Shri Krishna..
-Jai Shri Krishna.

186
00:16:19,916 --> 00:16:21,083
Go on, child.

187
00:16:21,166 --> 00:16:22,541
-Hail Giriraj Dharan.
-Hail.

188
00:16:22,625 --> 00:16:23,500
Hail.

189
00:16:28,583 --> 00:16:30,666
Hey, have you seen Kishori?

190
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:34,333
Huh?

191
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:36,166
Where has she gone?

192
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:58,458
You do not touch the feet
before charan seva.

193
00:18:01,541 --> 00:18:02,791
So what is your name?

194
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:04,750
Kishori!

195
00:18:05,583 --> 00:18:06,416
Kishori!

196
00:18:07,291 --> 00:18:08,166
Jai Shri Krishna.

197
00:18:08,250 --> 00:18:10,083
Devi, where's your moti behen?

198
00:18:10,166 --> 00:18:12,125
Karsan Bhai, you don't know about it?

199
00:18:12,208 --> 00:18:14,333
JJ has chosen Moti Behen for charan seva.

200
00:18:14,416 --> 00:18:16,500
We will make laapsi at home today.

201
00:18:23,666 --> 00:18:25,125
-Giridhar Khawas?
-Hmm?

202
00:18:25,666 --> 00:18:27,416
Can we watch the charan seva?

203
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,875
-That will be 11 rupees.
-Hmm.

204
00:18:31,916 --> 00:18:32,958
Here you go.

205
00:18:34,375 --> 00:18:35,208
Hmm.

206
00:18:35,708 --> 00:18:37,541
Watch quietly through the window. Hmm?

207
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:38,458
And be careful.

208
00:18:39,208 --> 00:18:41,458
The boy has only just hit puberty.

209
00:18:41,541 --> 00:18:44,458
Make sure
he doesn't scream while he learns.

210
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:45,791
Yes, I know.

211
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:48,250
Come on, hurry up.

212
00:19:57,833 --> 00:19:59,291
Uh, uh, uh, uh, hold on, mister.

213
00:19:59,791 --> 00:20:01,958
You can't go in, charan seva is on.
Now leave!

214
00:20:02,041 --> 00:20:03,791
But my fiancée is inside.

215
00:20:04,791 --> 00:20:06,958
Your fiancée? I'm so sorry.

216
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,041
Then you should definitely watch.

217
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:11,916
Upstairs, from the window. Go ahead.

218
00:20:15,583 --> 00:20:16,833
Yes, straight ahead.

219
00:21:01,458 --> 00:21:02,291
Kishori!

220
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:05,083
Karsan?

221
00:21:14,083 --> 00:21:15,625
-Hey!
-Move!

222
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:17,000
Kishori!

223
00:21:17,708 --> 00:21:20,083
You disrupted the charan seva.
You'll be cursed!

224
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:22,458
You'll be born a dog
in your next life.

225
00:21:22,541 --> 00:21:24,333
The ritual has been disrupted
because of you!

226
00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:27,125
Get away from here! Right now! Get out!

227
00:21:38,666 --> 00:21:41,583
What were you doing
in the name of charan seva, Kishori?

228
00:21:44,708 --> 00:21:46,250
I didn't expect this of you.

229
00:21:50,291 --> 00:21:51,375
Let's go home.

230
00:21:54,708 --> 00:21:57,041
Kishori, let's leave!

231
00:21:57,125 --> 00:21:58,208
Shh.

232
00:22:02,791 --> 00:22:04,166
Keep your voice down.

233
00:22:07,375 --> 00:22:09,708
This is both service and tradition.

234
00:22:11,333 --> 00:22:14,250
You are confusing devotion
with physical desires and lust.

235
00:22:19,958 --> 00:22:21,041
Never mind.

236
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:23,541
Kishori…

237
00:22:25,458 --> 00:22:27,541
You can leave if you wish to.

238
00:22:33,791 --> 00:22:36,500
You go ahead. I'll come later.

239
00:22:44,833 --> 00:22:46,041
You heard her?

240
00:22:46,125 --> 00:22:48,125
She'll be home soon. Don't worry.

241
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:52,583
Anyway, leftovers…

242
00:22:53,541 --> 00:22:55,875
are blessings from the Haveli
and blessings…

243
00:22:57,041 --> 00:22:57,958
are not kept.

244
00:23:03,666 --> 00:23:04,791
They're given away.

245
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:10,333
Want some?

246
00:23:14,208 --> 00:23:16,166
I can't digest leftovers.

247
00:23:19,208 --> 00:23:20,416
Neither of food…

248
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:23,916
nor of honor.

249
00:24:00,666 --> 00:24:01,666
Karsan?

250
00:24:16,875 --> 00:24:17,833
Karsan?

251
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:19,625
Hey, Karsan!

252
00:24:32,291 --> 00:24:33,125
Karsan!

253
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,916
Karsan.

254
00:25:06,458 --> 00:25:08,875
Why didn't you come
for the morning prayers today?

255
00:25:10,125 --> 00:25:11,375
Please talk to me.

256
00:25:13,083 --> 00:25:14,958
I just performed seva at the Haveli.

257
00:25:15,041 --> 00:25:17,250
Few have the good fortune to serve.

258
00:25:19,958 --> 00:25:21,500
Your unspoken words are hurting me.

259
00:25:21,583 --> 00:25:23,916
-Why won't you say--
-What do you want me to say?

260
00:25:25,416 --> 00:25:27,666
Can I say
that impostor was exploiting you?

261
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:33,125
You don't need any kind of religion
to know right from wrong.

262
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:36,250
You need wisdom
to know the difference, Kishori.

263
00:25:36,333 --> 00:25:38,541
And yesterday you proved
you don't have it.

264
00:25:40,166 --> 00:25:42,875
I waited four years
for you to complete your studies,

265
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:45,041
become capable.

266
00:25:46,541 --> 00:25:48,000
This is what you learned?

267
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:50,291
This is what you call devotion?
This is service?

268
00:25:50,375 --> 00:25:54,166
-You said you wouldn't question my--
-I can question blind devotion, can't I?

269
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:56,875
You went to school
but you learned nothing.

270
00:25:58,791 --> 00:26:00,291
Why didn't you refuse your masi?

271
00:26:00,916 --> 00:26:02,625
Why did you let JJ touch you?

272
00:26:03,541 --> 00:26:04,916
He called you his leftovers.

273
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,375
How can you feel
any pride in this, Kishori?

274
00:26:10,333 --> 00:26:13,458
You would hesitate to hold my hand,
in spite of me being your fiancé.

275
00:26:13,541 --> 00:26:14,541
But with that man--

276
00:26:14,625 --> 00:26:16,666
-I had no choice.
-You did have a choice!

277
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:19,000
You went to him willingly. By yourself.

278
00:26:21,083 --> 00:26:23,500
If a door is locked from within
and you hold the key,

279
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:25,208
yet you decide to remain locked up,

280
00:26:25,291 --> 00:26:27,083
then you've chosen to be a prisoner.

281
00:26:27,583 --> 00:26:29,083
It's not your compulsion.

282
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:33,583
You were following traditions,
not religion.

283
00:26:34,375 --> 00:26:36,416
Why are you so angry? Huh?

284
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,458
What did I do
that was so wrong?

285
00:26:38,541 --> 00:26:40,208
There have been many more girls like me.

286
00:26:40,291 --> 00:26:43,208
If your mother had been alive,
she would have sent your sister to--

287
00:26:43,291 --> 00:26:44,291
Kishori!

288
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,041
Bapuji will pay the fine to the panch
and break this engagement.

289
00:26:59,208 --> 00:27:00,916
I'm sorry but we are over.

290
00:27:16,375 --> 00:27:18,625
He broke off the engagement, JJ.

291
00:27:22,458 --> 00:27:24,708
Ignorant fools, all of them.

292
00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:38,041
Whatever happens, happens for the best.

293
00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:43,125
It happens as per God's will.

294
00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:50,333
These tears have made your virtues
shine even brighter.

295
00:27:53,291 --> 00:27:55,375
You're special to me from today.

296
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:02,625
Do you want to be JJ's special girl?

297
00:28:04,625 --> 00:28:05,583
Hmm?

298
00:28:36,375 --> 00:28:37,500
Where is JJ?

299
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:39,875
He has gone for evening aarthi.

300
00:29:08,791 --> 00:29:10,291
"JJ's special girl."

301
00:29:33,625 --> 00:29:35,583
There are three types of seva.

302
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:38,875
Surrendering your mind to God,

303
00:29:40,166 --> 00:29:41,791
meaning Manasi Seva.

304
00:29:43,375 --> 00:29:45,583
Offering financial support in service,

305
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:47,791
meaning Vitaja Seva.

306
00:29:49,208 --> 00:29:51,458
And surrendering
your physical self to God,

307
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:54,833
meaning Tanuja Seva.

308
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,333
Do you want to be JJ's special girl?

309
00:30:14,583 --> 00:30:16,791
Devi! What are you doing here!

310
00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:17,875
Get out!

311
00:30:17,958 --> 00:30:19,916
-Moti Behen--
-I said get out!

312
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:30,000
She's my sister.

313
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:36,583
You exploit girls
in the name of seva, JJ.

314
00:30:38,291 --> 00:30:41,666
You make us feel special for a few moments

315
00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:43,791
and just exploit our devotion.

316
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:49,500
You just use us
and there's nothing more to this.

317
00:30:51,166 --> 00:30:53,333
I considered you as God.

318
00:30:55,375 --> 00:30:57,250
You're just an ordinary man.

319
00:30:58,083 --> 00:30:59,875
A cheat, corrupt.

320
00:31:02,333 --> 00:31:03,625
Not my heart,

321
00:31:04,750 --> 00:31:06,750
it's my trust that you've broken.

322
00:31:09,250 --> 00:31:11,500
I've lost all respect, JJ.

323
00:31:13,375 --> 00:31:14,416
For you

324
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:17,500
and for myself as well.

325
00:32:19,916 --> 00:32:22,708
If l see you at the backside
of the Haveli, I'll break your legs!

326
00:32:22,791 --> 00:32:23,958
Why are you so angry?

327
00:32:24,041 --> 00:32:27,666
Yesterday we were celebrating,
why are you sad today?

328
00:32:29,041 --> 00:32:30,166
Are you jealous of me?

329
00:32:36,750 --> 00:32:39,000
Moti Behen, what's wrong?

330
00:32:45,666 --> 00:32:47,625
I've made a terrible mistake.

331
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:52,791
I gave JJ something

332
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:56,250
that was only meant for Karsan.

333
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,000
I hoped for…

334
00:33:02,125 --> 00:33:05,666
I hoped for heaven when die,
but I chose a living hell.

335
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:08,416
What have I done, Devi?
What have I done with my life?

336
00:33:15,708 --> 00:33:18,083
Karsan broke off our engagement today.

337
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,041
What?

338
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,208
Ba, Babuji know about it?

339
00:33:28,291 --> 00:33:30,750
Then please convince him
to change his mind.

340
00:33:33,208 --> 00:33:34,916
But how do I face him?

341
00:33:38,625 --> 00:33:41,458
The eyes that were filled
with love for me,

342
00:33:42,958 --> 00:33:45,458
are now filled with disgust.

343
00:33:49,375 --> 00:33:54,041
No matter what I do,
his principles will outdo my apologies.

344
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:58,166
I have lost Karsan forever.

345
00:33:59,208 --> 00:34:00,916
He's gone, he'll never come back.

346
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,291
I know he won't.

347
00:34:14,666 --> 00:34:18,541
Ba ties a knot in her dupatta and prays
to get back all the things she has lost.

348
00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:22,375
Until Karsan Bhai doesn't forgive you
and come back to you,

349
00:34:22,875 --> 00:34:25,875
we won't open this knot. Okay?

350
00:34:35,333 --> 00:34:38,750
Are you the only wise one here, Karsan?
Are the rest of us crazy?

351
00:34:38,833 --> 00:34:42,958
You portray yourself
as some great social reformer.

352
00:34:43,041 --> 00:34:46,625
But do you ever think what our family
has to go through because of you?

353
00:34:47,625 --> 00:34:51,958
That girl, Kishori and her father
Pran Jeevan Bhai…

354
00:34:52,041 --> 00:34:54,083
They won't be able to face the community.

355
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:56,333
And what crime did she commit, huh?

356
00:34:57,208 --> 00:35:00,166
Many girls perform seva at the Haveli.
Even your mami did it.

357
00:35:02,958 --> 00:35:04,875
You shouldn't be proud saying this.

358
00:35:05,416 --> 00:35:07,541
You should be ashamed, Mama.

359
00:35:07,625 --> 00:35:09,250
Don't use your mistake as an example.

360
00:35:09,833 --> 00:35:13,041
I should be ashamed? Huh?
I should be ashamed?

361
00:35:15,083 --> 00:35:19,708
Women's education
and banning the veil, widow remarriage.

362
00:35:21,208 --> 00:35:24,416
I'm really amazed that you can think
of such crass and disgusting ideas.

363
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:27,416
And I'm really amazed
why you don't get such ideas at all, Mama.

364
00:35:30,458 --> 00:35:34,041
The world of thinkers is clearly different
from the way the world thinks.

365
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:38,166
Bhabhu has lived in this house for years…

366
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:39,958
in this plain white garb.

367
00:35:41,208 --> 00:35:43,083
Can't you see how colorless her life is?

368
00:35:44,416 --> 00:35:48,416
Divaso, Vat Savitri, Holi, Kevda Trij -
why don't you get disturbed

369
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:50,625
by her unspoken sorrow
during these festivals?

370
00:35:50,708 --> 00:35:51,625
Karsan.

371
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:55,375
Have you thought about her needs,
her wants and her bodily desires?

372
00:35:55,458 --> 00:35:58,541
-If you had got her remarried years ago--
-That's enough, Karsan!

373
00:35:59,208 --> 00:36:00,416
That's enough!

374
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:04,000
Enough.

375
00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:06,041
Do not argue and just marry Kishori.

376
00:36:10,583 --> 00:36:12,208
I'll definitely not marry her now.

377
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:18,666
-What!
-Karsan, leave this house immediately.

378
00:36:22,750 --> 00:36:24,166
Get out of this house.

379
00:36:25,416 --> 00:36:26,458
Please leave.

380
00:37:07,291 --> 00:37:10,625
Such a great reformer,
orator, and scholar, and he's lying here?

381
00:37:10,708 --> 00:37:15,541
Such a great reformer, orator,
and scholar, that is why he is lying here.

382
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:22,791
Karsan Das, tell me, why are you here?

383
00:37:23,583 --> 00:37:26,750
Because there is no place
for my thoughts in my own home.

384
00:37:28,791 --> 00:37:31,250
Is there a place for those
who have nowhere to go?

385
00:37:35,208 --> 00:37:36,041
Hmm.

386
00:37:47,958 --> 00:37:48,875
Who…

387
00:37:51,583 --> 00:37:53,333
Who's this Karsan Das?

388
00:37:56,916 --> 00:38:01,666
There is a lot of talk…
about him in the Haveli.

389
00:38:02,708 --> 00:38:04,125
He's an atheist.

390
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:10,125
His faith must have been badly shaken.

391
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:15,583
Or why would anyone be an atheist?

392
00:38:15,666 --> 00:38:17,166
I need to meet JJ.

393
00:38:17,250 --> 00:38:19,250
Let me go. Just let me go!

394
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:22,291
JJ! JJ!

395
00:38:23,541 --> 00:38:25,125
What's all this noise?

396
00:38:26,666 --> 00:38:30,333
That Shaamji and his sister…
Leelavati are here, JJ.

397
00:38:32,791 --> 00:38:34,333
Who, who Shaamji?

398
00:38:34,958 --> 00:38:36,250
The Dwarka tour's charan…

399
00:38:56,791 --> 00:38:58,250
JJ…

400
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:00,833
We are ruined, JJ.

401
00:39:02,416 --> 00:39:04,541
What you did to my sister in Dwarka…

402
00:39:08,166 --> 00:39:10,291
My sister is pregnant.

403
00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:13,750
She's pregnant with your child, JJ.

404
00:39:15,833 --> 00:39:18,333
Please save my sister's honor, JJ.

405
00:39:19,208 --> 00:39:21,208
Please save my sister's honor.

406
00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:22,625
Calm down.

407
00:39:24,041 --> 00:39:24,916
Quiet.

408
00:39:25,416 --> 00:39:27,791
I know a few doctors at a hospital.

409
00:39:29,208 --> 00:39:31,041
Take Leelavati there immediately.

410
00:39:32,458 --> 00:39:33,708
They'll abort the child.

411
00:39:35,583 --> 00:39:37,125
Hey, where are you going?

412
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:39,666
Stop! Stop, JJ!

413
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:41,541
Why are you aborting my sister's child?

414
00:39:41,625 --> 00:39:42,916
Bhaiya!

415
00:39:43,708 --> 00:39:47,541
Tell me,
why did you do this to my sister, JJ?

416
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:50,041
No, Leelavati,
why are you begging to this man?!

417
00:39:50,125 --> 00:39:54,541
-Don't do this!
-Forgive us, JJ. Please forgive us.

418
00:40:01,541 --> 00:40:03,333
This is your child, JJ.

419
00:40:05,041 --> 00:40:06,375
I don't wont to abort it.

420
00:40:08,791 --> 00:40:11,833
I told you, I'm here for you.

421
00:40:11,916 --> 00:40:13,333
I'll handle everything.

422
00:40:23,375 --> 00:40:25,416
-Oh no, no! No, no!
-Eat.

423
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,583
Don't have it, Leelavati!

424
00:40:27,666 --> 00:40:31,125
No! No!
Don't have it, Leelavati.

425
00:40:31,666 --> 00:40:33,041
No!

426
00:40:38,458 --> 00:40:39,375
Eat it.

427
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:44,041
Leelavati,
why did you have it?

428
00:40:46,833 --> 00:40:51,250
Why did you have it, Leelavati?

429
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,916
Someone please help us.
Come out and help, please!

430
00:41:03,916 --> 00:41:05,958
Hey, bhai! Bhai, bhai, bhai!

431
00:41:06,041 --> 00:41:07,333
What happened? Who are you?

432
00:41:07,416 --> 00:41:09,958
Bhai, this is my sister.

433
00:41:10,458 --> 00:41:12,291
She's pregnant.JJ…

434
00:41:12,916 --> 00:41:15,708
JJ fed her a laddoo as prasad.

435
00:41:15,791 --> 00:41:16,916
Hey, Leelavati.

436
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,291
Bhai, please save us from JJ.

437
00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:20,666
I…
I'll take her to a hospital.

438
00:41:21,250 --> 00:41:23,541
-I'll be right back!
-You'll be fine, okay?

439
00:41:44,083 --> 00:41:45,458
Open the door!

440
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,791
I said, open the door!

441
00:41:55,125 --> 00:41:58,291
Lalvanji Maharaj,
I-I just saw these two people outside.

442
00:41:58,375 --> 00:42:00,541
Have you seen them?
They were at the back of the Haveli.

443
00:42:00,625 --> 00:42:03,083
-They were really hurt--
-There are many such people

444
00:42:03,166 --> 00:42:05,541
that the Haveli
has swallowed up, Karsan Das.

445
00:42:07,875 --> 00:42:09,708
It has become a man-eater.

446
00:42:10,208 --> 00:42:13,916
It preys on the ones
it should be protecting.

447
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,500
If you know this, then why don't you
and the other Maharajs do something?

448
00:42:18,791 --> 00:42:21,291
Yadunath Maharaj's aura.

449
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:25,458
Thanks to him, the Haveli has seen wealth.

450
00:42:26,041 --> 00:42:29,083
Our sect has flourished
all over the country.

451
00:42:29,166 --> 00:42:32,500
Millions walk the same path with us now.

452
00:42:34,666 --> 00:42:37,000
He has become the face of the Haveli.

453
00:42:37,625 --> 00:42:41,791
And now his power
is so great and far-reaching

454
00:42:42,916 --> 00:42:46,583
that we have no choice
but to stay silent about everything.

455
00:42:49,083 --> 00:42:51,750
What we can't do from within the Haveli,

456
00:42:54,791 --> 00:42:57,291
you do from the outside, Karsan Das.

457
00:42:58,666 --> 00:43:01,875
You write about social issues already.

458
00:43:03,083 --> 00:43:04,750
Why not write about this too?

459
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:08,791
I'm an ordinary devotee, Lalvanji Maharaj.

460
00:43:10,083 --> 00:43:12,833
If you aren't able
to raise any questions, how can I?

461
00:43:12,916 --> 00:43:15,833
If you don't question,
you're not a true devotee.

462
00:43:16,416 --> 00:43:19,166
And without answers, it's not true dharma.

463
00:43:20,375 --> 00:43:24,750
If you are denied your rights,
then fight for it.

464
00:43:25,333 --> 00:43:26,333
Fight for it?

465
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,166
But I'm not a Kshatriya.

466
00:43:30,833 --> 00:43:32,416
If not by birth,

467
00:43:32,916 --> 00:43:35,083
let your karma make you one.

468
00:43:35,166 --> 00:43:38,958
No fight is more violent
than the one fought for dharma.

469
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:43,958
Hail Vallabhadhish!

470
00:43:44,791 --> 00:43:47,000
Hail Vallabhadhish!

471
00:43:55,208 --> 00:43:58,083
People need to be made aware
of all this, Naoroji Bhai.

472
00:43:58,166 --> 00:44:00,500
What's happening in the Haveli is illegal.

473
00:44:00,583 --> 00:44:03,125
It's not that easy, Karsan.

474
00:44:03,208 --> 00:44:07,125
If Lalvanji Maharaj
can't raise objections,

475
00:44:07,208 --> 00:44:11,250
then me or you won't be able
to stand up against him or his ways.

476
00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:14,041
Don't waste time on petty issues.

477
00:44:14,750 --> 00:44:17,583
Our job is to clean up the country's mess.

478
00:44:17,666 --> 00:44:18,875
Keep your focus on that.

479
00:44:18,958 --> 00:44:22,291
If everyone starts cleaning the country,
who's staying back to clean the home?

480
00:44:23,833 --> 00:44:25,750
The home? Hmm.

481
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,166
All right, let's start with that.

482
00:44:34,750 --> 00:44:36,208
Kishori had come here.

483
00:44:38,541 --> 00:44:40,166
You called off the engagement?

484
00:44:42,708 --> 00:44:44,208
She told me the reason.

485
00:44:44,791 --> 00:44:47,833
What you did was right and even wrong.

486
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:52,500
Karsan, there are three steps
to social reform.

487
00:44:53,541 --> 00:44:56,791
The first is to make a person
aware of his mistake.

488
00:44:57,291 --> 00:44:58,625
Realization.

489
00:44:58,708 --> 00:45:01,083
The second is to correct the mistake.

490
00:45:01,583 --> 00:45:02,541
Reformation.

491
00:45:03,041 --> 00:45:06,375
And the third is
to bring the person back into society.

492
00:45:06,458 --> 00:45:08,041
Rehabilitation.

493
00:45:09,333 --> 00:45:11,791
You did make Kishori aware of her mistake.

494
00:45:12,541 --> 00:45:15,125
But didn't give her
the chance to correct it.

495
00:45:16,208 --> 00:45:19,333
This reformation
should have begun with you, Karsan.

496
00:45:28,458 --> 00:45:30,583
What you're saying is right, Naoroji Bhai.

497
00:45:31,666 --> 00:45:34,500
-I'll go to Kishori today itself--
-Karsan! Hurry up!

498
00:46:24,375 --> 00:46:26,166
Karsan, don't irritate me.

499
00:46:28,250 --> 00:46:30,583
Please let me study.
I have an exam tomorrow.

500
00:46:30,666 --> 00:46:33,375
You keep doing your work,
and I'll keep doing mine.

501
00:46:35,166 --> 00:46:37,375
I'm stuck with studies, all thanks to you.

502
00:46:37,458 --> 00:46:40,708
Just complete your studies soon
so we can get married soon.

503
00:46:40,791 --> 00:46:42,291
I can't wait any longer.

504
00:46:43,625 --> 00:46:45,291
Why are you being so impatient?

505
00:46:45,375 --> 00:46:48,541
You're the only person in my life
whom I can call my own, Kishori.

506
00:46:49,041 --> 00:46:52,791
You are my friend,
you're my lover, and you're my family.

507
00:46:52,875 --> 00:46:54,541
My God!

508
00:46:54,625 --> 00:46:57,500
If I disappear, your world
will come crashing down in a second.

509
00:46:57,583 --> 00:46:59,125
Where do you think you can disappear?

510
00:47:00,125 --> 00:47:01,875
I'll break your legs.

511
00:47:03,625 --> 00:47:06,333
-Love me so much?
-More than you'll ever know.

512
00:47:08,375 --> 00:47:09,833
If I were to lose you,

513
00:47:11,541 --> 00:47:13,541
this Karsan would lose himself too.

514
00:47:24,458 --> 00:47:27,125
♪ I'm taking refuge in Lord Krishna ♪

515
00:47:35,250 --> 00:47:38,666
♪ I'm taking refuge in Lord Krishna ♪

516
00:47:40,625 --> 00:47:43,208
I had never imagined that this is how…

517
00:47:44,375 --> 00:47:46,791
I would send my daughter away, Mulji Bhai.

518
00:48:03,083 --> 00:48:03,958
Karsan Bhai.

519
00:48:12,333 --> 00:48:13,958
I found this in Moti Behen's cupboard.

520
00:48:27,333 --> 00:48:29,500
I was completely blind,

521
00:48:30,666 --> 00:48:32,083
to such an extent

522
00:48:33,125 --> 00:48:36,666
that I could not tell the difference
between a human being and God.

523
00:48:38,291 --> 00:48:40,041
Now that I can see clearly,

524
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:43,708
I just cannot look you in the eye.

525
00:48:44,916 --> 00:48:49,250
I gave no proof of my remorse while alive.

526
00:48:49,333 --> 00:48:51,125
I give it with my death.

527
00:48:52,333 --> 00:48:56,875
Maybe now you will believe
how ashamed I was.

528
00:48:57,833 --> 00:49:00,083
I could not be your companion

529
00:49:00,666 --> 00:49:03,083
but do make me the cause for your fight.

530
00:49:04,583 --> 00:49:09,166
Expose JJ's truth to the world, Karsan.

531
00:49:10,750 --> 00:49:12,541
That will be my moksh.

532
00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:03,250
Maharaj!

533
00:50:05,291 --> 00:50:07,083
Yadunath Maharaj!

534
00:50:20,416 --> 00:50:22,041
Congratulations, JJ!

535
00:50:22,750 --> 00:50:25,458
One more person
has been sacrificed for the Haveli today.

536
00:50:25,541 --> 00:50:27,916
I'm really saddened by Kishori's death.

537
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,250
Kishori's death is not suicide.
It's murder!

538
00:50:32,208 --> 00:50:33,625
And you are her murderer!

539
00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:39,708
How would you feel if your daughter
or Vahuji were called to another Haveli

540
00:50:39,791 --> 00:50:40,791
to perform charan seva?

541
00:50:40,875 --> 00:50:41,791
Karsan Das!

542
00:50:48,791 --> 00:50:52,416
How dare you speak
of my wife and daughter in this manner?

543
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:56,416
Why? Why did you get angry
when I mentioned their names?

544
00:50:57,625 --> 00:50:59,708
Why don't the same thoughts occur to you

545
00:50:59,791 --> 00:51:01,875
when you dishonor
others' wives and daughters?

546
00:51:04,583 --> 00:51:07,083
God cleanses sins,
he doesn't create them, JJ.

547
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:10,125
No one else may do it,
but now I will speak,

548
00:51:10,208 --> 00:51:13,458
I will raise questions,
and I will publish articles against you.

549
00:51:13,541 --> 00:51:16,958
Today's papers
are tomorrow's scrap, Karsan Das.

550
00:51:18,166 --> 00:51:20,041
Only dharm stands the course of time.

551
00:51:20,125 --> 00:51:22,416
You don't realize the power
words can hold.

552
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:24,291
And you don't realize the power of dharm.

553
00:51:24,375 --> 00:51:26,666
Have you ever thought about
what would happen

554
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:30,458
when it dawns on all the devotees
that God had left the Haveli long ago?

555
00:51:30,541 --> 00:51:32,791
So I am here instead of God.

556
00:51:33,416 --> 00:51:35,958
Maharaj Yadunath.

557
00:51:36,541 --> 00:51:38,166
Lord of the Yadus.

558
00:51:38,250 --> 00:51:39,083
And you?

559
00:51:39,166 --> 00:51:40,750
You are Karsan "Das."

560
00:51:42,208 --> 00:51:44,166
Krishna's servant.

561
00:51:45,375 --> 00:51:47,791
Our names hold the nature of our karma.

562
00:51:47,875 --> 00:51:50,333
These names are merely titles, JJ.

563
00:51:51,083 --> 00:51:53,291
Parents and society give these to us.

564
00:51:54,166 --> 00:51:58,166
It is not our names,
it's our karma that we're known for.

565
00:51:58,666 --> 00:52:01,791
This servant of Krishna
will now fight the Haveli.

566
00:52:01,875 --> 00:52:03,416
For the sake of the Haveli.

567
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:06,541
Not against dharm,
but against the gatekeepers of dharm!

568
00:52:06,625 --> 00:52:08,791
Utter fool.

569
00:52:09,791 --> 00:52:12,166
Remember how different the two of us are.

570
00:52:12,958 --> 00:52:16,750
No ordinary Karsan can come
anywhere close to a man of my stature.

571
00:52:16,833 --> 00:52:20,291
I will stand on the shoulders
of your devotees to reach you.

572
00:52:20,375 --> 00:52:21,291
I promise you.

573
00:52:22,583 --> 00:52:23,708
Now I'll write.

574
00:52:24,833 --> 00:52:26,333
I will write without fear,

575
00:52:26,416 --> 00:52:29,541
mentioning you by name,
revealing your truth for all to read!

576
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:34,166
I have already lost what was dear to me.

577
00:52:35,958 --> 00:52:40,166
Now what will be dragged through the mud
will be you and your name.

578
00:52:42,041 --> 00:52:44,041
Even if I fall, JJ,

579
00:52:45,333 --> 00:52:47,250
I'll make sure to take you down with me.

580
00:53:01,458 --> 00:53:03,666
This can't be printed
in Rast Goftar, Karsan.

581
00:53:04,666 --> 00:53:07,041
It's a direct attack
on the Haveli and JJ.

582
00:53:07,125 --> 00:53:10,416
Rast Goftar has a wide circulation
among the Vaishnav community.

583
00:53:10,916 --> 00:53:13,875
They won't tolerate
such an accusation against the Maharaj.

584
00:53:14,375 --> 00:53:17,833
Why encourage me to write, when you
don't have the courage to publish?

585
00:53:17,916 --> 00:53:20,750
We have printed
so many of your articles, Karsan.

586
00:53:20,833 --> 00:53:23,958
Write against the practice.
But write without taking names.

587
00:53:24,041 --> 00:53:25,166
Who's stopping you?

588
00:53:25,250 --> 00:53:27,458
Yes, it's important that I write,

589
00:53:27,541 --> 00:53:29,833
but it's more important
that people read this.

590
00:53:32,791 --> 00:53:35,500
Maybe this is the right time
to start my own newspaper.

591
00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:39,125
It's a very good idea.

592
00:53:40,500 --> 00:53:41,625
Huh?

593
00:53:42,208 --> 00:53:43,083
Yes.

594
00:53:56,625 --> 00:53:58,916
"Never hesitate to ask questions.

595
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,791
Aashirwad, Bhabhu."

596
00:54:13,375 --> 00:54:15,291
SATYA PRAKASH

597
00:54:23,916 --> 00:54:26,541
SATYA PRAKASH

598
00:54:28,750 --> 00:54:31,500
Devi, once this is printed
for people to read,

599
00:54:32,583 --> 00:54:34,875
JJ's reality will be exposed.

600
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:38,791
One moment, I'll be back.

601
00:54:50,041 --> 00:54:52,708
I had promised Moti Behen
I won't open this knot

602
00:54:52,791 --> 00:54:55,333
until you truly forgive her
for what she had done.

603
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,500
Don't open it yet.

604
00:55:01,750 --> 00:55:03,250
The fight has only just begun.

605
00:55:06,916 --> 00:55:09,708
The day JJ is punished
for all his misdeeds

606
00:55:11,666 --> 00:55:14,000
will be the day
Kishori's death gets its justice.

607
00:55:20,958 --> 00:55:21,875
Keep this.

608
00:55:34,791 --> 00:55:36,458
We should be very careful.

609
00:55:37,125 --> 00:55:38,041
Here you go.

610
00:55:39,458 --> 00:55:41,666
Nanu Bhai, be careful.

611
00:55:41,750 --> 00:55:44,458
Don't worry at all, Karsan Bhai.

612
00:55:44,541 --> 00:55:47,708
I know Nanu means short,
but I'm only short in size.

613
00:55:47,791 --> 00:55:51,375
Actually, I've always shot my arrows
at big targets.

614
00:55:51,458 --> 00:55:54,458
So what I'll do is,
I'll take a secret route.

615
00:55:54,541 --> 00:55:56,333
Nobody will find out!

616
00:55:56,416 --> 00:55:57,375
Let's go!

617
00:55:57,458 --> 00:56:00,458
You see
the narrow gully ahead, go that way. Yeah.

618
00:56:04,583 --> 00:56:07,500
Yeah, yeah,
this way, this way. Turn.

619
00:56:10,291 --> 00:56:11,375
Slow down, slow down.

620
00:56:12,250 --> 00:56:14,541
Quietly, quietly.

621
00:56:16,208 --> 00:56:17,791
Don't make so much noise.

622
00:56:35,541 --> 00:56:37,125
SATYA PRAKASH

623
00:56:37,833 --> 00:56:42,000
By morning, there won't be a single copy
left in the bazaar to distribute, JJ.

624
00:56:43,083 --> 00:56:45,625
What is going on here, Yadunathji?

625
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,333
Hmm?

626
00:56:49,958 --> 00:56:54,000
"True Hinduism
and Current Fraudulent Practices.

627
00:56:54,625 --> 00:56:56,958
The Truth Behind Yadunath Maharaj."

628
00:56:58,458 --> 00:57:02,208
You can burn the newspaper,
but not the truth.

629
00:57:02,291 --> 00:57:05,708
You need to apologize,
before things get out of hand.

630
00:57:06,375 --> 00:57:10,291
Otherwise, those who worship you today,
will question you tomorrow.

631
00:57:20,083 --> 00:57:21,250
Mukhiyaji…

632
00:57:28,208 --> 00:57:32,750
The doors of the Haveli will remain closed
for everyone for all the prayers today,

633
00:57:33,916 --> 00:57:35,583
starting from dawn till dusk.

634
00:57:39,208 --> 00:57:43,583
Khawas, send word to each
and every Haveli in the city, right away.

635
00:57:47,958 --> 00:57:49,125
Sure.

636
00:57:49,208 --> 00:57:52,625
Devotees don't break their fast
till they've attended the morning prayers.

637
00:57:52,708 --> 00:57:54,125
You know this very well.

638
00:57:56,583 --> 00:57:57,916
Yes, that's exactly why.

639
00:58:00,333 --> 00:58:04,583
The hunger of the devotees
will compel him to apologize.

640
00:58:04,666 --> 00:58:05,708
HEERABAGH HAVELI, 1838

641
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,958
Once he has bowed before me
and begged for forgiveness,

642
00:58:13,625 --> 00:58:14,958
the doors will be reopened.

643
00:58:18,041 --> 00:58:21,958
And until that happens,
our Shriji Baba will sit in protest.

644
00:58:23,791 --> 00:58:26,208
And the Haveli will be on strike.

645
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:39,541
"Attention, Vaishnav Community!

646
00:58:39,625 --> 00:58:45,458
Until Karsan Das Mulji apologizes
for insulting the Haveli and our sect,

647
00:58:45,541 --> 00:58:47,666
no one is allowed to enter the Haveli."

648
00:58:47,750 --> 00:58:48,875
What?

649
00:58:48,958 --> 00:58:50,958
"There will be no darshan and no aarti!"

650
00:58:51,041 --> 00:58:52,958
Arre bhai, somebody open the door!

651
00:58:53,041 --> 00:58:55,208
Open the door!

652
00:58:55,291 --> 00:58:57,500
Someone go and call Karsan Das!

653
00:58:57,583 --> 00:59:00,333
Open the door!

654
00:59:00,416 --> 00:59:03,500
Look there!
Speak of the devil and there he is!

655
00:59:03,583 --> 00:59:05,416
Apologize!

656
00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:07,041
He's behind all this.

657
00:59:07,916 --> 00:59:09,041
Karsan Das, apologize!

658
00:59:09,125 --> 00:59:11,750
-Apologize!
-Karsan Das, apologize!

659
00:59:11,833 --> 00:59:13,166
Karsan Das, apologize!

660
00:59:13,250 --> 00:59:14,708
What have you done?

661
00:59:15,250 --> 00:59:17,541
-Karsan Das, apologize!
-Apologize.

662
00:59:20,708 --> 00:59:23,083
-Karsan Das!
-Apologize, Karsan Das!

663
00:59:31,166 --> 00:59:33,416
Apologize!
What are you standing there for?

664
00:59:35,875 --> 00:59:38,250
-Apologize, Karsan Das!
-You will have to apologize!

665
00:59:38,333 --> 00:59:40,083
What will you achieve with my apology?

666
00:59:42,333 --> 00:59:44,166
Will the doors be reopened?

667
00:59:45,375 --> 00:59:49,291
Once he knows he can have his way,
he'll close the doors time and again.

668
00:59:52,333 --> 00:59:55,041
Will we beg him
to open the doors every single time?

669
00:59:57,791 --> 01:00:00,250
Amongst children,
this is called stubbornness,

670
01:00:00,333 --> 01:00:03,458
and amongst the British,
it's called blackmail. Do you understand?

671
01:00:05,458 --> 01:00:07,541
If you lose your way
while you're travelling,

672
01:00:07,625 --> 01:00:10,000
or you can't go to the Haveli
for a few days,

673
01:00:10,083 --> 01:00:11,208
do you starve yourselves?

674
01:00:13,625 --> 01:00:15,708
You pray to God
and eat your food, don't you?

675
01:00:16,791 --> 01:00:20,250
So, why are you letting him use something
as basic as hunger against you?

676
01:00:21,208 --> 01:00:23,333
See, JJ has a problem with my article.

677
01:00:23,416 --> 01:00:26,708
So, before the copies reached the bazaar,
he destroyed all of them.

678
01:00:29,125 --> 01:00:30,791
If I'm the problem, deal with me.

679
01:00:30,875 --> 01:00:32,333
Ban me from entering the Haveli.

680
01:00:32,416 --> 01:00:34,500
Why punish all of you then?

681
01:00:35,833 --> 01:00:38,833
What's the point
of penalizing all of you in this fight?

682
01:00:39,916 --> 01:00:41,000
Remember this.

683
01:00:41,083 --> 01:00:45,125
The Haveli always needed
and still needs its followers far more

684
01:00:45,208 --> 01:00:46,791
than what we may need the Haveli.

685
01:00:46,875 --> 01:00:49,541
Our donations and devotion
keep this factory running.

686
01:00:51,875 --> 01:00:53,750
And workers can go on strike.

687
01:00:54,625 --> 01:00:55,958
But God cannot.

688
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,916
He himself has taught us, right?
That God is everywhere.

689
01:01:03,416 --> 01:01:05,208
Then isn't this also Shriji?

690
01:01:06,833 --> 01:01:09,041
Why can't we just pray to Him
and break our fast?

691
01:01:10,541 --> 01:01:11,541
Why can't we?

692
01:01:24,666 --> 01:01:26,750
Has the cat got your tongue?

693
01:01:26,833 --> 01:01:29,750
Someone has spoken sense
for the first time. Clap for him!

694
01:01:35,291 --> 01:01:36,625
I'm feeling very hungry.

695
01:01:36,708 --> 01:01:39,000
I will pray to this Shriji
to break my fast. Okay?

696
01:01:39,083 --> 01:01:41,041
Get in line if you also want to. Come on!

697
01:01:42,875 --> 01:01:43,875
Come on.

698
01:01:43,958 --> 01:01:47,416
The morning aarti
will also be held here today.

699
01:01:47,500 --> 01:01:49,208
Now who is this brave man?

700
01:01:51,208 --> 01:01:52,791
Oops!

701
01:01:54,666 --> 01:01:56,208
Jai Shri Krishna!

702
01:02:00,125 --> 01:02:03,416
You cannot go to Him,
but He can come to you.

703
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,875
You will perform today's aarti.

704
01:02:08,541 --> 01:02:11,750
How can I do that
when you're here, Lalvanji Maharaj?

705
01:02:11,833 --> 01:02:15,250
True, heartfelt devotion,
is all that is needed.

706
01:02:15,333 --> 01:02:16,625
So anyone can lead.

707
01:02:16,708 --> 01:02:19,125
Doesn't matter to God in the least.

708
01:02:19,666 --> 01:02:21,208
A few people have forgotten

709
01:02:21,291 --> 01:02:23,791
that we are the Haveli's servants, Karsan,

710
01:02:23,875 --> 01:02:24,916
not masters.

711
01:02:29,916 --> 01:02:32,833
-All hail Giriraj Dharan!
-Hail!

712
01:02:32,916 --> 01:02:34,500
All hail this day's joy!

713
01:02:34,583 --> 01:02:35,708
Hail!

714
01:03:25,916 --> 01:03:30,958
Poona Observer, Deccan Herald,
Rast Goftar, Mumbai News.

715
01:03:31,041 --> 01:03:33,083
You've been featured in every newspaper.

716
01:03:33,791 --> 01:03:36,375
Everyone is talking about
Shriji Baba's prayers at the square.

717
01:03:37,083 --> 01:03:41,916
Now all that's remaining is the reprint
of the first edition of Satya Prakash.

718
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:42,833
Right, Nanu Bhai?

719
01:03:42,916 --> 01:03:44,750
If it hadn't been stolen,

720
01:03:44,833 --> 01:03:47,958
people would have read
the newspaper edition by now.

721
01:03:48,583 --> 01:03:49,416
Such bad luck.

722
01:03:50,041 --> 01:03:53,083
They were five of them,
and me all by myself.

723
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:55,375
I even told them,
if they wanted, they could have…

724
01:03:55,458 --> 01:03:57,791
Nanu Bhai, focus on the proofs.

725
01:03:58,791 --> 01:04:00,125
It's been going on all day.

726
01:04:00,708 --> 01:04:04,833
Sohrabji Bhai, I shouldn't have gone
into that gully in the first place.

727
01:04:04,916 --> 01:04:07,291
Those rogues took everything.

728
01:04:09,208 --> 01:04:12,666
"All the devotees
were mesmerized by the morning."

729
01:04:13,166 --> 01:04:15,416
Arre, not by the morning.
By the morning aarti.

730
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:16,875
Now, who'll write aarti, my kaku?

731
01:04:16,958 --> 01:04:19,583
And Haveli is also spelled incorrectly.

732
01:04:19,666 --> 01:04:21,375
He doesn't know a thing.

733
01:04:22,041 --> 01:04:23,041
Jai Shri Krishna.

734
01:04:23,125 --> 01:04:24,500
My name is Viraaj.

735
01:04:25,708 --> 01:04:27,541
We met the other day. At the Haveli.

736
01:04:27,625 --> 01:04:28,625
Yes, yes.

737
01:04:28,708 --> 01:04:29,541
Hmm.

738
01:04:29,625 --> 01:04:32,458
I cheered for you.
I'm here to apply for a job.

739
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:39,458
-So, can you read and write?
-What do you mean by that?

740
01:04:39,541 --> 01:04:41,791
Didn't I just spot two mistakes
in the proof right now?

741
01:04:41,875 --> 01:04:43,125
I'm very saarp.

742
01:04:43,208 --> 01:04:44,458
"Sh." Sharp.

743
01:04:44,541 --> 01:04:46,500
Saarp. That's what I said.

744
01:04:46,583 --> 01:04:49,083
Saarp, sharp.
Both are cut from the same cloth.

745
01:04:49,166 --> 01:04:50,166
10th grade expert.

746
01:04:50,250 --> 01:04:51,958
I studied thrice in the 10th grade.

747
01:04:53,333 --> 01:04:54,791
Well, actually, I failed earlier.

748
01:04:54,875 --> 01:04:57,166
But pass or fail,
both are cut from the same cloth.

749
01:04:57,250 --> 01:04:59,583
Never mind all that.
Let's talk about work now.

750
01:05:00,083 --> 01:05:01,208
Can I join you?

751
01:05:01,291 --> 01:05:03,291
Please don't fire me, Karsan Seth.

752
01:05:03,375 --> 01:05:05,333
There were five of them.

753
01:05:05,416 --> 01:05:08,375
-I told them, "You can take me--"
-Nanu Bhai, enough.

754
01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:13,875
You can work here,
but I can't pay you.

755
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,625
Okay.

756
01:05:17,708 --> 01:05:21,625
Now, being poor
is the true sign of a reformer, isn't it?

757
01:05:22,333 --> 01:05:24,625
I'll do whatever you say, with full pasun.

758
01:05:24,708 --> 01:05:25,916
'"Sh" - Passion.

759
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,625
Yes, pasunn-pasun.
Both are cut from the same cloth.

760
01:05:28,708 --> 01:05:30,833
Focus on the feeling, not my mistakes.

761
01:05:32,333 --> 01:05:34,416
Hey Nanu Kaka…

762
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:36,833
This is my place now, move it!

763
01:05:36,916 --> 01:05:38,750
No need to stare at me like this.

764
01:05:38,833 --> 01:05:42,000
You're burning me down with that look.
I have no time to washte.

765
01:05:42,083 --> 01:05:44,833
That's a "s," not a "sh" sound. "Waste."

766
01:05:46,166 --> 01:05:48,083
He's quite weird, don't you think so?

767
01:05:53,041 --> 01:05:56,125
JJ, should I open the Haveli doors?

768
01:05:57,375 --> 01:06:01,583
For… For the last two days, the aarti
and darshan are being done outside.

769
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,208
Let's hope the followers
don't start thinking

770
01:06:05,291 --> 01:06:07,208
the old peepal tree is a temple.

771
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,750
The Haveli's doors will be reopened
only when that lowly man falls at my feet

772
01:06:12,833 --> 01:06:13,791
and apologizes.

773
01:06:17,500 --> 01:06:18,708
And what if he doesn't?

774
01:06:27,791 --> 01:06:29,958
I'm going to make sure that he does.

775
01:06:32,833 --> 01:06:34,625
You live far away in Vadaal,

776
01:06:34,708 --> 01:06:38,000
perhaps that's why Satya Prakash
hasn't reached you yet.

777
01:06:38,916 --> 01:06:42,416
Well, your son is in the news
for the wrong reasons.

778
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:43,500
My son?

779
01:06:43,583 --> 01:06:46,708
I'm responsible
for maintaining balance in society.

780
01:06:48,208 --> 01:06:50,291
If someone disrupts it,
they need to be punished.

781
01:06:54,625 --> 01:06:57,750
Else every other person
will use the Haveli as their spittoon

782
01:06:57,833 --> 01:06:59,208
and spit at it.

783
01:07:03,708 --> 01:07:06,541
I have compassion for every life, but…

784
01:07:07,125 --> 01:07:08,541
when the plague is upon us,

785
01:07:08,625 --> 01:07:11,083
then killing of rats
becomes an act of virtue.

786
01:07:26,333 --> 01:07:27,750
I am your well-wisher.

787
01:07:28,583 --> 01:07:29,958
I hope you have understood.

788
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:31,958
Yes.

789
01:07:34,708 --> 01:07:36,125
Be fearless.

790
01:07:48,291 --> 01:07:51,625
So, I've noticed,
you're confused between "s" and "sh."

791
01:07:52,333 --> 01:07:53,208
It is…

792
01:07:54,333 --> 01:07:55,375
"s,"

793
01:07:56,166 --> 01:07:57,125
and "shh."

794
01:07:57,750 --> 01:08:01,333
I know all this. 'S' and 's,' right?
That's what I'm saying.

795
01:08:01,416 --> 01:08:03,041
I want this printed.

796
01:08:04,583 --> 01:08:06,041
Bapuji, what a surprise?

797
01:08:06,958 --> 01:08:08,125
Bapuji, what a surprise?

798
01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:12,000
When did you come from Vadaal?

799
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:15,333
I want this printed in Satya Prakash.

800
01:08:19,541 --> 01:08:20,875
"I, Mulji Jivraj,

801
01:08:20,958 --> 01:08:24,833
hereby sever all ties with my son,
Karsan Mulji forever.

802
01:08:27,875 --> 01:08:29,875
He shall have no right to my name,

803
01:08:29,958 --> 01:08:33,125
my property
or be able to perform my last rites.

804
01:08:35,375 --> 01:08:38,416
I did not, do not
and will not have any connection

805
01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:40,625
with his actions and writings."

806
01:08:44,250 --> 01:08:45,541
This is your handwriting.

807
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:49,708
But the words seem to echo
Yadunath Maharaj.

808
01:08:51,791 --> 01:08:53,750
You've been thrown out of the house,

809
01:08:54,708 --> 01:08:57,000
and now your sect will also disown you.

810
01:08:57,083 --> 01:08:58,333
There is still time.

811
01:08:59,708 --> 01:09:00,958
Come to your senses.

812
01:09:02,208 --> 01:09:03,875
Go and ask for forgiveness.

813
01:09:05,166 --> 01:09:08,958
If your community disowns you,
you'll be all alone.

814
01:09:10,458 --> 01:09:13,333
What use is a community
that robs you of your courage?

815
01:09:21,166 --> 01:09:22,166
Viraaj…

816
01:09:24,958 --> 01:09:27,458
Make sure you get this printed
in the next issue.

817
01:09:52,541 --> 01:09:53,916
What are you thinking about?

818
01:09:59,916 --> 01:10:02,083
That I'm not good
at handling relationships.

819
01:10:03,833 --> 01:10:06,583
Kishori, mama, mami,

820
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:10,625
Bhabhu… Bapuji.

821
01:10:12,791 --> 01:10:14,875
One after another
I have lost all of them.

822
01:10:17,458 --> 01:10:19,375
I was let down by my own people.

823
01:10:20,375 --> 01:10:22,208
It's your own teeth that bite your tongue.

824
01:10:23,333 --> 01:10:25,083
If your loved ones have let you down,

825
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:27,250
then make those your own
in whom you see hope.

826
01:10:28,250 --> 01:10:30,000
The moment I heard your first speech,

827
01:10:30,083 --> 01:10:32,500
I knew I'll only marry you.

828
01:10:34,375 --> 01:10:37,666
-Viraaj, me and Kishori--
-Listen, I know everything about Kisori.

829
01:10:38,166 --> 01:10:39,708
My family discouraged me.

830
01:10:39,791 --> 01:10:42,166
My father gave me
two tight slaps on my face.

831
01:10:42,666 --> 01:10:44,416
But I'm pretty stubborn, you see.

832
01:10:44,958 --> 01:10:47,291
-I can see that.
-Do I have any choice?

833
01:10:47,375 --> 01:10:49,666
I have to be stubborn to get close to you.

834
01:10:50,791 --> 01:10:51,833
I can cook very well,

835
01:10:51,916 --> 01:10:55,000
I can embroider birds on clothes,
I can even iron using a hot pot.

836
01:10:55,083 --> 01:10:57,958
I've studied up to the tenth grade
and I'm the eldest sibling.

837
01:10:58,041 --> 01:10:59,375
I may not be that pretty,

838
01:10:59,458 --> 01:11:02,333
but for a second proposal,
you won't find someone better than me.

839
01:11:03,333 --> 01:11:06,916
No, I mean… I'm outspoken,
but I'm good at heart.

840
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,583
To cut a long story short,
you won't find someone else,

841
01:11:09,666 --> 01:11:11,416
and only someone crazy would marry me.

842
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:13,833
And my father told me,
"No matter how much you look around,

843
01:11:13,916 --> 01:11:16,625
you won't find anyone crazier
than Karsan Das in our community."

844
01:11:17,875 --> 01:11:20,625
And, I really can't ask God
for anything more.

845
01:11:20,708 --> 01:11:22,708
Will you be my hushband?

846
01:11:23,416 --> 01:11:24,625
"Husband."

847
01:11:24,708 --> 01:11:27,583
Yes, yes, "hushband" "hushband."
Cut from the same cloth.

848
01:11:27,666 --> 01:11:30,458
Okay fine.
If I say husband and not hushband,

849
01:11:30,541 --> 01:11:31,541
will you marry me?

850
01:11:31,625 --> 01:11:33,041
Options are yes and yes.

851
01:11:38,041 --> 01:11:38,875
No.

852
01:11:39,833 --> 01:11:43,166
No?Oh, bhai, maara!
No was not even an option.

853
01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:46,458
Okay, but, at least tell me
why you're saying no.

854
01:11:48,541 --> 01:11:49,375
Viraaj,

855
01:11:49,458 --> 01:11:52,291
-I don't want to stray from my objective.
-But--

856
01:11:52,375 --> 01:11:54,583
And it's entirely in your power
to do that.

857
01:11:58,416 --> 01:12:00,875
Was that a compliment or an insult?

858
01:12:01,958 --> 01:12:04,125
Accha, lishen, I'll wait for you!

859
01:12:04,208 --> 01:12:06,541
"Listen," "s" with an "s."

860
01:12:06,625 --> 01:12:07,958
Yes, yes, that's what I said.

861
01:12:08,541 --> 01:12:10,583
This "s," "sh" issue is going to kill me.

862
01:13:25,333 --> 01:13:26,416
YES OR YES

863
01:13:51,375 --> 01:13:53,291
Hey, buggy vaala!
Come on, let's go!

864
01:15:02,541 --> 01:15:05,125
SATYA PRAKASH

865
01:15:18,541 --> 01:15:21,375
The article was reprinted
and people have read it, JJ.

866
01:15:24,166 --> 01:15:26,125
Karsan has lost his mind.

867
01:15:26,208 --> 01:15:28,458
People are asking all sorts of questions.

868
01:15:30,791 --> 01:15:31,625
Vahuji.

869
01:15:32,708 --> 01:15:36,625
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad is here… with medicine.

870
01:15:40,208 --> 01:15:41,541
He says…

871
01:15:43,166 --> 01:15:44,250
it's urgent.

872
01:16:13,916 --> 01:16:14,916
-JJ.
-JJ.

873
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:16,333
-JJ, pranaam.
-JJ, pranaam.

874
01:16:28,875 --> 01:16:30,625
Please forgive us, JJ.

875
01:16:31,250 --> 01:16:34,416
She isn't… feeling too well today.

876
01:16:41,333 --> 01:16:42,250
Come.

877
01:16:48,500 --> 01:16:50,291
JJ, pranam.

878
01:16:51,208 --> 01:16:52,458
Make way, move.

879
01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:57,833
They've probably read the Satya Prakash.

880
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,916
One Karsan is more than enough
to wake up everyone.

881
01:17:04,541 --> 01:17:08,125
Next time you feel
like pressing the fingers of young women,

882
01:17:08,208 --> 01:17:09,625
stop and think…

883
01:17:09,708 --> 01:17:12,250
People might just stop worshiping
the toes on your feet.

884
01:17:12,333 --> 01:17:13,333
Do remember that.

885
01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:15,208
JJ.

886
01:17:23,875 --> 01:17:26,166
That article has caused
a lot of damage, JJ.

887
01:17:27,333 --> 01:17:29,166
We're getting fewer gifts and donations.

888
01:17:29,750 --> 01:17:33,208
It's a good thing
that you have reopened the Haveli doors.

889
01:17:34,500 --> 01:17:36,500
Or we would have suffered, immensely.

890
01:17:37,791 --> 01:17:39,833
Your silence is your weakness.

891
01:17:42,333 --> 01:17:45,333
That's what… the devotees are saying.

892
01:17:45,416 --> 01:17:46,541
Everyone.

893
01:17:51,750 --> 01:17:54,083
JJ, should I get rid of Karsan
tonight itself?

894
01:18:00,458 --> 01:18:05,500
If anything happens to Karsan now,
then everyone will point fingers at me.

895
01:18:06,291 --> 01:18:11,583
If dharm couldn't silence him,
the courts will shut him up now.

896
01:18:13,625 --> 01:18:16,291
Send word to Bailey
that I wish to meet him right away.

897
01:18:20,208 --> 01:18:22,958
A defamation suit
claiming 50,000 rupees!

898
01:18:25,583 --> 01:18:28,958
I had never thought the Haveli
would knock on the doors of the court.

899
01:18:29,708 --> 01:18:31,625
It's time to tread with caution, Karsan.

900
01:18:32,125 --> 01:18:34,166
I'm a school headmaster.

901
01:18:35,250 --> 01:18:36,625
My salary is 60 rupees.

902
01:18:38,791 --> 01:18:41,666
Even if I sell my land,
my house, my village home,

903
01:18:41,750 --> 01:18:43,958
I would still have less than 5,000 rupees.

904
01:18:44,458 --> 01:18:47,208
If I have nothing to lose,
then I have nothing to fear.

905
01:18:48,750 --> 01:18:50,500
What's the worst that could happen?

906
01:18:52,250 --> 01:18:53,083
Jail.

907
01:18:53,166 --> 01:18:56,625
So be it. I will continue writing in jail.

908
01:18:57,208 --> 01:18:59,875
The problem now is
that we have to go to court.

909
01:19:01,500 --> 01:19:03,916
And the court always asks for proof,

910
01:19:04,541 --> 01:19:07,041
which we don't have
and I don't think we ever will.

911
01:19:07,750 --> 01:19:10,666
Who would allow a wife or a daughter
to even walk into a court

912
01:19:10,750 --> 01:19:13,333
to testify
that the Maharaj exploited them?

913
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:17,916
Where will we find witnesses
who can take the stand against JJ?

914
01:19:24,166 --> 01:19:26,625
As soon as I heard about
the notice from Maharaj,

915
01:19:27,500 --> 01:19:29,500
I called for a meeting with the Bhatias.

916
01:19:30,166 --> 01:19:31,625
Please meet them, Karsan Das

917
01:19:32,583 --> 01:19:34,583
They'll testify in court against JJ.

918
01:19:44,458 --> 01:19:47,541
-All hail Giriraj Dharan!
-Hail!

919
01:19:47,625 --> 01:19:50,083
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

920
01:19:50,166 --> 01:19:52,875
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

921
01:19:52,958 --> 01:19:56,291
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

922
01:19:56,375 --> 01:19:59,791
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

923
01:19:59,875 --> 01:20:03,375
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

924
01:20:03,458 --> 01:20:06,708
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

925
01:20:08,458 --> 01:20:11,208
I want you to prepare
a pitcher of gold, Khawas.

926
01:20:12,083 --> 01:20:16,750
The great Karsan Das is here
to wash my feet and beg forgiveness.

927
01:20:24,583 --> 01:20:26,750
"The newly married bride
must come to the Haveli

928
01:20:26,833 --> 01:20:28,791
to receive blessings
on her wedding night."

929
01:20:28,875 --> 01:20:29,791
This was the order.

930
01:20:35,083 --> 01:20:37,875
Shyamlal Seth's third son
is actually JJ's child.

931
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:39,833
He's raising him as his own.

932
01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:50,041
Kapol, Das, Goswami, Shrinivas,
and many more such stories.

933
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,500
We will testify in court.

934
01:20:53,166 --> 01:20:54,541
You lead the way, Karsan Das.

935
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,958
-All hail Giriraj Dharan!
-Hail!

936
01:21:13,041 --> 01:21:17,083
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

937
01:21:18,083 --> 01:21:21,333
Welcome, Karsan Das.
I've been waiting for you.

938
01:21:21,958 --> 01:21:25,750
I believe if the prodigal one returns,
then all is forgiven and forgotten.

939
01:21:31,458 --> 01:21:34,708
Wash his feet and apologize.
End of story.

940
01:21:34,791 --> 01:21:35,958
What's going on, Khawas?

941
01:22:07,583 --> 01:22:12,083
The revered Yadunath Maharaj has filed
a defamation case of 50,000 against me.

942
01:22:13,791 --> 01:22:15,541
I've come to respond to his notice.

943
01:22:18,750 --> 01:22:20,625
Mr. Arnsty, my lawyer.

944
01:22:27,583 --> 01:22:30,833
This child will fight a case
against me? huh?

945
01:22:32,250 --> 01:22:34,166
I doubt he's even hit puberty yet.

946
01:22:34,833 --> 01:22:36,875
So you should definitely watch out, JJ

947
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:40,666
Anyway, you have a thing
for younger people, don't you?

948
01:22:42,333 --> 01:22:43,583
See you in court.

949
01:22:46,875 --> 01:22:48,541
Hail Vallabhadhish!

950
01:23:04,125 --> 01:23:05,541
No maharaj of our sect

951
01:23:05,625 --> 01:23:09,416
has gone through the doors
of a courtroom till today.

952
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:11,375
You shouldn't either.

953
01:23:11,458 --> 01:23:13,333
This is a request from all of us.

954
01:23:13,416 --> 01:23:14,666
Hmm.

955
01:23:15,375 --> 01:23:18,875
So… what is it that
you all want me to do now?

956
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:21,625
Apologize to that Karsan Das?

957
01:23:22,625 --> 01:23:25,166
Withdraw the defamation case
and openly accept

958
01:23:25,250 --> 01:23:29,541
that the Haveli has been exploiting
its devotees all these years?

959
01:23:30,125 --> 01:23:32,541
It's only a coward
who wants to keep his actions secret.

960
01:23:33,791 --> 01:23:36,291
But I do no fear anything
or anyone whatsoever.

961
01:23:38,083 --> 01:23:40,250
It's necessary
to keep the devotees in control

962
01:23:40,333 --> 01:23:42,833
as fear keeps them on the path of Dharm.

963
01:23:43,916 --> 01:23:47,125
I cannot afford to let
the centuries-old penance of our ancestors

964
01:23:47,208 --> 01:23:48,583
go in vain for this now.

965
01:23:52,166 --> 01:23:57,625
I, Maharaj Yadunath,
am the face of this sect.

966
01:23:57,708 --> 01:24:00,416
I have brought immense wealth
to this Haveli.

967
01:24:00,500 --> 01:24:02,208
I will go to court

968
01:24:04,416 --> 01:24:06,416
and I will teach that Das such a lesson

969
01:24:08,291 --> 01:24:12,625
that no other man will dare to question
the practices of the Haveli again.

970
01:24:22,666 --> 01:24:25,750
Karsan Das, the Bhatias
have sent a message.

971
01:24:26,458 --> 01:24:28,458
They said
they don't want to testify in court.

972
01:24:30,625 --> 01:24:32,708
Varjivan Bhatia is
missing since afternoon.

973
01:24:32,791 --> 01:24:35,916
And the other Bhatias,
they are being threatened with banishment.

974
01:24:36,916 --> 01:24:40,333
And because of JJ, the entire fraternity
has turned against them.

975
01:24:40,416 --> 01:24:41,750
Everyone is extremely scared.

976
01:24:42,791 --> 01:24:45,416
Unbelievable. What can we do now?

977
01:24:45,500 --> 01:24:46,958
Those men were all we had.

978
01:24:47,041 --> 01:24:49,583
If you like, we can file
a conspiracy case against them.

979
01:24:49,666 --> 01:24:53,125
That way,
once the summons have been issued,

980
01:24:53,208 --> 01:24:55,541
-they'll have to come to court to testify.
-Hmm.

981
01:24:55,625 --> 01:24:57,500
They're already in a fix, Mr. Arnsty.

982
01:24:58,208 --> 01:24:59,708
Let's not pressure them more.

983
01:25:02,416 --> 01:25:04,208
-Where are you going?
-To the press.

984
01:25:04,791 --> 01:25:07,958
It's important that everyone knows
how low Maharaj can stoop.

985
01:25:08,041 --> 01:25:10,958
-But--
-Tejpal, calm down.

986
01:25:12,416 --> 01:25:13,666
Karsan, listen…

987
01:25:15,083 --> 01:25:16,166
Come with me.

988
01:25:17,083 --> 01:25:19,625
How did it catch fire?

989
01:25:46,291 --> 01:25:49,083
Tejpal Seth's press
was burned down because of me.

990
01:25:51,625 --> 01:25:52,875
Bapuji was right.

991
01:25:54,708 --> 01:25:58,625
You should always choose your friends
and enemies according to your own status.

992
01:26:02,250 --> 01:26:05,000
The very people I'm fighting for
have turned against me.

993
01:26:07,416 --> 01:26:10,125
-Whom do I fight for now?
-Fight for your goal.

994
01:26:11,583 --> 01:26:13,833
For each and every woman

995
01:26:13,916 --> 01:26:16,375
who has been wronged
and is screaming from within.

996
01:26:17,041 --> 01:26:19,791
Imagine what those women
must be going through

997
01:26:20,666 --> 01:26:23,125
when their own husbands
send them to JJ willingly.

998
01:26:25,541 --> 01:26:27,166
I was just 16…

999
01:26:30,250 --> 01:26:32,708
when Ba and Babuji took me to the Haveli…

1000
01:26:38,666 --> 01:26:39,791
to perform charan seva.

1001
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,000
I was only a child back then.

1002
01:26:52,208 --> 01:26:53,666
So innocent.

1003
01:26:55,916 --> 01:26:57,291
But I could understand that

1004
01:26:58,291 --> 01:27:02,125
what was happening
was so creepy, so dirty.

1005
01:27:03,583 --> 01:27:06,458
I cried, I yelled
and somehow ran away from there

1006
01:27:06,541 --> 01:27:09,708
and then never set foot
in the back door of the Haveli again.

1007
01:27:12,208 --> 01:27:16,750
Perhaps every girl may not understand
in time like I did, Karsan.

1008
01:27:20,875 --> 01:27:24,250
If she can't become a Viraaj,
she shouldn't be a Kisori either.

1009
01:27:24,333 --> 01:27:26,000
That's your responsibility.

1010
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:33,208
People like JJ
are the enemies of change and reform.

1011
01:27:34,708 --> 01:27:38,083
And now even if you lose,
your ideologies would still have won.

1012
01:27:39,958 --> 01:27:42,708
This case is merely a part
of a major fight.

1013
01:27:42,791 --> 01:27:45,458
Our fight is so much bigger than this.

1014
01:27:45,541 --> 01:27:47,000
So why this deshpair?

1015
01:27:52,333 --> 01:27:53,791
It's "despair."

1016
01:27:56,708 --> 01:27:58,333
Cut from the same cloth.

1017
01:28:00,416 --> 01:28:03,083
Okay, if I say "despair"
instead of "deshpair,"

1018
01:28:03,166 --> 01:28:04,625
will you continue your fight?

1019
01:28:05,875 --> 01:28:08,375
Options are… yes and yes.

1020
01:28:19,708 --> 01:28:23,208
Karsan Bhai,
Tejpal Seth has called you right away.

1021
01:28:23,291 --> 01:28:24,791
JJ's Vahuji has come to his house.

1022
01:28:25,833 --> 01:28:27,000
Vahuji?

1023
01:28:36,875 --> 01:28:40,958
I heard what has happened
to the… to the Bhatias.

1024
01:28:43,708 --> 01:28:45,041
Heard about the press too.

1025
01:28:48,208 --> 01:28:49,291
Please go to this address.

1026
01:28:54,791 --> 01:28:57,125
You will find a witness
over there for your case.

1027
01:28:58,541 --> 01:29:00,000
Vahuji, what are you doing here?

1028
01:29:02,833 --> 01:29:05,958
I'm split between my family
and my principles as I help you.

1029
01:29:07,208 --> 01:29:09,208
I just don't have the courage…

1030
01:29:11,750 --> 01:29:13,041
to choose one of them.

1031
01:29:18,250 --> 01:29:20,833
-Hail Vallabhadhish.
-Jai Shri Krishna.

1032
01:29:20,916 --> 01:29:22,291
Jai Shri Krishna.

1033
01:29:29,500 --> 01:29:31,791
I just don't have the courage…

1034
01:29:34,583 --> 01:29:38,125
PRAKASH CHAMARIA, NEAR KATHIARA'S SHOP
SECOND HOUSE FROM JATEH, KUMBHARWADI

1035
01:29:44,166 --> 01:29:46,333
I'm an untouchable.
Move away.

1036
01:30:03,541 --> 01:30:06,625
I knew for sure
that you would find me someday.

1037
01:30:07,208 --> 01:30:08,833
Aren't you the…?

1038
01:30:09,416 --> 01:30:11,833
Come inside. Come quick.

1039
01:30:16,750 --> 01:30:19,166
Leelavati. Leelavati!

1040
01:30:22,375 --> 01:30:23,916
Karsan Das Mulji is here.

1041
01:30:31,375 --> 01:30:34,166
Namaste. I am Shaamji Damodar

1042
01:30:35,541 --> 01:30:37,458
This is my sister, Leelavati.

1043
01:30:39,333 --> 01:30:41,916
That night I came with a handcart
to get the both of you.

1044
01:30:42,541 --> 01:30:45,291
-But by the time I reached--
-Before you could come back,

1045
01:30:45,875 --> 01:30:47,875
two men came
and dragged us into the Haveli.

1046
01:30:49,166 --> 01:30:52,708
And then we saw
that Vahuji was waiting for us.

1047
01:30:52,791 --> 01:30:56,208
JJ had fed her a laddoo
with dhatura seeds to induce an abortion.

1048
01:30:56,791 --> 01:30:59,500
But Vahuji gave her salt water
to drink, so she could throw up.

1049
01:31:01,708 --> 01:31:04,375
If she's sent you here,
this could only mean one thing.

1050
01:31:05,750 --> 01:31:07,458
That Vahuji now wants us to…

1051
01:31:10,041 --> 01:31:11,958
to testify against JJ in court.

1052
01:31:14,666 --> 01:31:16,666
And we will surely do that.

1053
01:31:18,833 --> 01:31:20,666
The hearing is in 15 days.

1054
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:23,958
If JJ gets to know,
he'll try his tricks again.

1055
01:31:25,750 --> 01:31:26,708
What do we do?

1056
01:31:27,625 --> 01:31:30,500
Let's hide them…
in Tejpal Seth's Mamleshwar bungalow

1057
01:31:30,583 --> 01:31:32,000
till the hearing happens.

1058
01:31:33,041 --> 01:31:33,875
Okay.

1059
01:31:34,500 --> 01:31:36,083
Please don't worry.

1060
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,916
I'll be responsible for your safety.

1061
01:33:22,958 --> 01:33:26,166
They can burn down the press,
but can't destroy your passion.

1062
01:33:27,416 --> 01:33:30,041
From now,
Satya Prakash will be printed here.

1063
01:34:55,333 --> 01:34:56,333
Karsan!

1064
01:34:58,583 --> 01:34:59,625
Who sent this letter?

1065
01:34:59,708 --> 01:35:03,625
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad sent it,
Yadunath Maharaj's personal physician.

1066
01:35:15,333 --> 01:35:18,708
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

1067
01:35:18,791 --> 01:35:20,458
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

1068
01:35:22,458 --> 01:35:25,708
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

1069
01:35:25,791 --> 01:35:28,500
-All hail Ladle Lal!
-Hail!

1070
01:35:39,083 --> 01:35:42,416
Welcome, Karsan… Das.

1071
01:35:45,041 --> 01:35:46,791
Before we face each other in court,

1072
01:35:46,875 --> 01:35:49,541
I'm willing to give you
one last chance but…

1073
01:35:51,875 --> 01:35:53,541
I have three conditions.

1074
01:35:56,500 --> 01:36:00,125
One, apologize to me.

1075
01:36:02,041 --> 01:36:02,916
Two,

1076
01:36:03,708 --> 01:36:05,083
apologize to me.

1077
01:36:05,166 --> 01:36:06,375
And three,

1078
01:36:08,291 --> 01:36:09,375
apologize to me…

1079
01:36:11,833 --> 01:36:13,208
in private,

1080
01:36:14,166 --> 01:36:15,416
in the Haveli,

1081
01:36:16,958 --> 01:36:18,000
and in court

1082
01:36:20,666 --> 01:36:22,833
and I will withdraw the case.

1083
01:36:23,416 --> 01:36:25,708
An apology will be sought
just once, Yadunath Maharaj.

1084
01:36:27,791 --> 01:36:28,708
In the court.

1085
01:36:30,125 --> 01:36:32,208
As to who'll apologize to whom…

1086
01:36:33,375 --> 01:36:34,916
the court will decide that.

1087
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,000
I just wanted to
give you one last chance.

1088
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:43,291
Chances are usually given
to the less privileged, you see.

1089
01:36:44,625 --> 01:36:46,250
Or the less intelligent.

1090
01:36:48,083 --> 01:36:50,375
So I should be the one
giving you a chance, JJ.

1091
01:36:53,166 --> 01:36:55,541
But the difference is
that now even if you apologize,

1092
01:36:55,625 --> 01:36:57,791
I'll see to it
that the case is not dismissed.

1093
01:36:59,875 --> 01:37:00,958
May I leave?

1094
01:37:03,208 --> 01:37:05,708
Take some prasad before you leave, Karsan.

1095
01:37:10,291 --> 01:37:11,458
Leelavati.

1096
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,750
This is… Leelavati, Karsan.

1097
01:37:28,416 --> 01:37:30,458
Early this morning before dawn,

1098
01:37:30,958 --> 01:37:33,958
I got both Leelavati
and Giridhar Khawas married.

1099
01:37:35,333 --> 01:37:38,833
The poor thing has two younger sisters,
elderly parents,

1100
01:37:38,916 --> 01:37:42,458
and well, a child needs a father's name.

1101
01:37:42,541 --> 01:37:44,333
Where is Shaamji Damodar?

1102
01:37:44,958 --> 01:37:47,125
Who? Shaamji? Who? Damodar who?

1103
01:37:47,708 --> 01:37:49,000
Her brother.

1104
01:37:49,083 --> 01:37:51,458
Ah, yes.

1105
01:37:52,166 --> 01:37:54,833
Now, where Shaamji is…

1106
01:37:57,500 --> 01:37:59,041
Lord Shyamji knows.

1107
01:38:01,041 --> 01:38:02,083
Karsan…

1108
01:38:03,458 --> 01:38:05,083
Did you really think that…

1109
01:38:07,041 --> 01:38:09,041
I wouldn't keep an eye on you?

1110
01:38:11,083 --> 01:38:14,291
I clearly told you to apologize,
but you…

1111
01:38:18,083 --> 01:38:19,708
proved you are a Das.

1112
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:26,125
Never mind.

1113
01:38:27,125 --> 01:38:29,125
As Shriji wishes,

1114
01:38:30,291 --> 01:38:31,666
Ask for it in court…

1115
01:38:33,333 --> 01:38:34,208
the apology

1116
01:38:36,958 --> 01:38:41,250
after paying 50,000 rupees.

1117
01:38:44,041 --> 01:38:45,291
Hail Vallabhadhish!

1118
01:39:21,125 --> 01:39:22,625
JJ is here.

1119
01:39:23,291 --> 01:39:26,125
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1120
01:39:26,208 --> 01:39:29,000
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1121
01:39:29,083 --> 01:39:31,583
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1122
01:39:31,666 --> 01:39:33,791
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1123
01:39:33,875 --> 01:39:36,125
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1124
01:39:38,375 --> 01:39:41,041
I have given verdicts
in over 200 cases, Joseph.

1125
01:39:41,125 --> 01:39:44,708
I've never seen people
so involved in a case before.

1126
01:39:45,666 --> 01:39:50,500
It's their religion
which keeps them united, I say.

1127
01:39:51,458 --> 01:39:53,000
It also divides them.

1128
01:39:53,791 --> 01:39:56,083
How else have we ruled over them
for so long?

1129
01:40:19,125 --> 01:40:22,166
You see, he could have had
his chariot pulled till the court.

1130
01:40:23,416 --> 01:40:24,625
But he did not.

1131
01:40:25,791 --> 01:40:27,333
A show of strength.

1132
01:40:28,375 --> 01:40:31,291
An empty barrel
always makes the loudest noise.

1133
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,583
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1134
01:41:09,666 --> 01:41:12,041
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1135
01:41:12,666 --> 01:41:16,375
We've heard the opening
statements of Maharaj Libel Case 12047.

1136
01:41:17,708 --> 01:41:20,125
Shall we continue
with the proceedings, gentlemen?

1137
01:41:21,083 --> 01:41:22,333
I'd like to call

1138
01:41:22,416 --> 01:41:26,583
Yadunath Brijratanji Maharaj
to the witness box to begin with.

1139
01:41:29,833 --> 01:41:31,250
Where am I running away?

1140
01:41:33,625 --> 01:41:34,958
I'm sitting right here.

1141
01:41:35,458 --> 01:41:38,833
Ask whatever you need to,
I will answer from here.

1142
01:41:39,416 --> 01:41:42,083
Objection, my lord.
The plaintiff must obey protocol.

1143
01:41:42,166 --> 01:41:43,166
Overruled.

1144
01:41:43,250 --> 01:41:47,291
As you can see, the plaintiff
is in a league of his own, Mr. Arnsty.

1145
01:41:48,666 --> 01:41:50,166
Let's humor him for a bit, shall we?

1146
01:41:56,041 --> 01:41:58,708
You're in the habit
of accepting gifts, JJ.

1147
01:41:58,791 --> 01:42:01,000
That's not a gift, it's the Gita.

1148
01:42:01,625 --> 01:42:04,083
Place your hand on the Gita and swear

1149
01:42:04,166 --> 01:42:07,583
that whatever you say in court will be
the truth, and nothing but the truth.

1150
01:42:08,916 --> 01:42:12,166
The Maharaj doesn't need to take an oath.

1151
01:42:13,750 --> 01:42:15,291
People take oaths
in the name of the Maharaj.

1152
01:42:17,125 --> 01:42:19,458
The Maharaj does not speak the truth.

1153
01:42:19,958 --> 01:42:21,375
What he says

1154
01:42:22,625 --> 01:42:23,791
is the only truth.

1155
01:42:24,458 --> 01:42:27,083
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1156
01:42:27,166 --> 01:42:29,750
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

1157
01:42:30,791 --> 01:42:32,208
Take this man outside.

1158
01:42:32,291 --> 01:42:35,041
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1159
01:42:35,916 --> 01:42:40,416
And Maharaj, the court
will not allow you any more concessions.

1160
01:42:40,500 --> 01:42:42,833
Mr. Bailey,
will you please make things clear

1161
01:42:42,916 --> 01:42:45,208
before your client gets on my nerves?

1162
01:42:45,791 --> 01:42:47,041
And Maharaj, the court
will not allow you any more concessions.

1163
01:42:48,250 --> 01:42:51,041
No problem.
It is only an oath by the Gita.

1164
01:42:52,500 --> 01:42:55,833
I swear that I will
speak the truth and nothing else.

1165
01:43:00,083 --> 01:43:01,208
Happy?

1166
01:43:04,416 --> 01:43:06,541
For his article printed in Satya Prakash,

1167
01:43:06,625 --> 01:43:09,375
you have filed a case
against my CL Mr. Karsan Das

1168
01:43:09,458 --> 01:43:14,000
with badnakshi, meaning slander
or defamation as the charge.

1169
01:43:15,250 --> 01:43:16,250
Yes.

1170
01:43:17,458 --> 01:43:20,666
Whatever's printed in the article
naming him is all factual.

1171
01:43:21,333 --> 01:43:22,541
And in order to prove this,

1172
01:43:22,625 --> 01:43:25,083
I'd like to call
Dr. Ramkrishna Vitthal Lad

1173
01:43:25,166 --> 01:43:26,250
to the witness box.

1174
01:43:26,333 --> 01:43:30,666
Calling
Dr. Ramkrishna Vitthal Lad.

1175
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:33,666
Dr. Bhau Daji Lad,

1176
01:43:33,750 --> 01:43:36,541
I believe that's how people
address you fondly.

1177
01:43:36,625 --> 01:43:37,458
Yes.

1178
01:43:37,541 --> 01:43:39,458
Please tell us a bit about yourself.

1179
01:43:40,708 --> 01:43:45,000
My lord, I am a qualified doctor
graduated from the first batch

1180
01:43:45,083 --> 01:43:47,875
of the Grant Medical College
in Bombay 1850.

1181
01:43:47,958 --> 01:43:51,958
I'm an employee of the British Government,
and also personal physician

1182
01:43:52,041 --> 01:43:55,458
to the priests of the various Havelis
of Bombay and their families too.

1183
01:43:55,541 --> 01:43:58,041
So if I were to say
you have treated Yadunath Maharaj,

1184
01:43:58,791 --> 01:44:00,250
would that be accurate?

1185
01:44:01,666 --> 01:44:02,541
That's right.

1186
01:44:03,833 --> 01:44:07,125
Chandi ka rog. I treated him for that.

1187
01:44:07,208 --> 01:44:08,833
He has chandi ka rog.

1188
01:44:10,041 --> 01:44:11,625
My lord, it's a venereal disease,

1189
01:44:12,750 --> 01:44:14,916
a sexually transmitted disease.

1190
01:44:15,666 --> 01:44:17,916
It is also known as syphilis, my lord.

1191
01:44:22,791 --> 01:44:25,083
Order in the court, please.

1192
01:44:26,625 --> 01:44:31,375
Doctor Saheb has testified in court
that respected JJ has chandi ka rog!

1193
01:44:34,833 --> 01:44:37,333
Dr. Lad,
how does one contract chandi ka rog?

1194
01:44:37,416 --> 01:44:42,166
A person usually contracts this infection
on having sexual intercourse repeatedly,

1195
01:44:42,833 --> 01:44:44,333
with multiple partners.

1196
01:44:44,416 --> 01:44:45,541
Along with medication,

1197
01:44:45,625 --> 01:44:49,500
I also advised him to abstain from
sexual intercourse with multiple women.

1198
01:44:49,583 --> 01:44:50,541
One more point.

1199
01:44:50,625 --> 01:44:53,833
JJ asked about medicines
used to induce an abortion.

1200
01:44:54,416 --> 01:44:57,291
Because old remedies
like mixing dhatura seeds in ladoos

1201
01:44:57,375 --> 01:44:58,875
don't always work.

1202
01:44:58,958 --> 01:45:01,583
He also sent pregnant women to me with…

1203
01:45:01,708 --> 01:45:04,291
a letter bearing his name
on a few occasions.

1204
01:45:04,375 --> 01:45:06,125
I sent them away immediately.

1205
01:45:06,666 --> 01:45:09,375
Which in fact also strained
my relationship with JJ.

1206
01:45:10,291 --> 01:45:14,541
Thank you for your statement, Dr. Lad.
No more questions. Your witness, please.

1207
01:45:15,458 --> 01:45:16,791
Dr. Lad,

1208
01:45:17,958 --> 01:45:19,416
please tell me something.

1209
01:45:19,500 --> 01:45:23,041
Did you examine
the Maharaj personally for syphilis?

1210
01:45:25,625 --> 01:45:28,000
-I didn't.
-There was no need to.

1211
01:45:30,375 --> 01:45:33,083
Dr. Lad is hard of hearing, I think.

1212
01:45:35,166 --> 01:45:38,000
Not chandi ka rog, I had chanda ka rog.

1213
01:45:39,916 --> 01:45:41,833
It's also known as chaatha.

1214
01:45:43,083 --> 01:45:44,208
Chaatha means…

1215
01:45:44,291 --> 01:45:47,708
He means he had boils
on his private parts.

1216
01:45:48,375 --> 01:45:51,541
Last month I had gone to Tailanga.

1217
01:45:52,833 --> 01:45:58,416
I had too much ginger,
black pepper and other spices there, so…

1218
01:46:00,333 --> 01:46:01,833
I broke out in blisters.

1219
01:46:03,333 --> 01:46:05,875
I consulted Dr. Lad.

1220
01:46:07,041 --> 01:46:10,708
I said chanda, he heard chandi, and…

1221
01:46:11,291 --> 01:46:13,416
it all got lost in translation.

1222
01:46:13,500 --> 01:46:16,416
Exactly. Without examination,

1223
01:46:16,500 --> 01:46:21,708
it is obviously difficult to say
whether it was syphilis or blisters.

1224
01:46:21,791 --> 01:46:25,083
It's inconclusive evidence, your lordship,

1225
01:46:25,166 --> 01:46:28,291
with a most certain probability
of a wrong diagnosis.

1226
01:46:29,125 --> 01:46:32,416
Now, the point of abortions.

1227
01:46:33,375 --> 01:46:34,791
The ladies who came to you,

1228
01:46:34,875 --> 01:46:37,666
did they ever name JJ
or complain about him?

1229
01:46:38,291 --> 01:46:40,875
Did they say that the child was JJ's?

1230
01:46:40,958 --> 01:46:43,041
Did they say they were raped?

1231
01:46:43,541 --> 01:46:46,000
Did anyone ever claim the child was his?

1232
01:46:46,083 --> 01:46:48,666
If it's his name on the letter,
then it means that he--

1233
01:46:48,750 --> 01:46:50,000
No, no, no, doctor. I'm sorry.

1234
01:46:50,083 --> 01:46:52,791
The letter was from the Maharaj
but that does not prove

1235
01:46:52,875 --> 01:46:54,125
that the child was also his.

1236
01:46:54,708 --> 01:46:57,666
My lord, Dr. Lad is making assumptions.

1237
01:46:57,750 --> 01:46:59,916
He has no proof to back his claims.

1238
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:03,000
My lord, ask any doctor
for an independent opinion on this.

1239
01:47:03,083 --> 01:47:05,875
If he says Maharaj doesn't have
secondary symptoms of syphilis,

1240
01:47:05,958 --> 01:47:08,708
-I'll quit my profession.
-The defense immediately requests

1241
01:47:08,791 --> 01:47:10,458
-a medical verification.
-Granted.

1242
01:47:10,541 --> 01:47:11,916
Don't… my lord!

1243
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:16,083
Do you have any more questions
for the doctor, Mr. Bailey?

1244
01:47:21,583 --> 01:47:23,375
No more questions, my lord.

1245
01:47:25,583 --> 01:47:27,833
I now request the court
to allow me to question

1246
01:47:27,916 --> 01:47:30,416
JJ's manservant, Giridhar Khawas.

1247
01:47:38,833 --> 01:47:42,375
We heard you were married off
to a girl named Leelavati last night.

1248
01:47:42,458 --> 01:47:44,541
And you obeyed the order quietly.

1249
01:47:45,375 --> 01:47:46,458
Not true.

1250
01:47:46,541 --> 01:47:50,041
Leelavati and I got married
around eight months ago

1251
01:47:50,708 --> 01:47:54,125
when I had gone on a tour
to Dwarka with JJ.

1252
01:47:54,625 --> 01:47:57,208
She is seven months pregnant
with my child.

1253
01:47:57,291 --> 01:47:58,625
I am the child's father.

1254
01:48:01,875 --> 01:48:02,708
I swear it.

1255
01:48:02,791 --> 01:48:05,666
"It's my child
and I am the child's father."

1256
01:48:05,750 --> 01:48:08,916
So why are you insisting repeatedly
that the child is yours?

1257
01:48:09,458 --> 01:48:10,458
Any doubts about it?

1258
01:48:11,541 --> 01:48:14,916
No… it is what it is. I'm not insisting.

1259
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,833
It's my child so I'll call it mine,
not yours… obviously.

1260
01:48:18,916 --> 01:48:21,750
You are stressing this point repeatedly
simply because

1261
01:48:21,833 --> 01:48:24,041
the child is not yours, but JJ's!

1262
01:48:24,125 --> 01:48:26,708
It's his leftovers
that you're accepting as prasad.

1263
01:48:26,791 --> 01:48:29,208
-Objection!
-My lord, Leelavati was raped.

1264
01:48:29,791 --> 01:48:33,125
She was fed ladoos poisoned
with dhatura seeds to abort her child.

1265
01:48:33,208 --> 01:48:35,833
Karsan Das put them
in a safe house in Mamleshwar,

1266
01:48:35,916 --> 01:48:37,750
but they were abducted from there.

1267
01:48:37,833 --> 01:48:39,416
Shaamji was made to disappear,

1268
01:48:39,500 --> 01:48:42,291
and Leelavati was forcibly married off
to Khawas overnight.

1269
01:48:42,375 --> 01:48:44,541
So that neither of them
would be able to testify.

1270
01:48:44,625 --> 01:48:46,375
To hell with defamation, my lord.

1271
01:48:46,458 --> 01:48:47,666
We are dealing with rape,

1272
01:48:47,750 --> 01:48:50,083
attempt to murder,
and tampering of witnesses!

1273
01:48:50,166 --> 01:48:51,458
Arnsty.

1274
01:48:57,916 --> 01:49:00,416
This crowd is quiet because of me.

1275
01:49:02,375 --> 01:49:04,541
The crowds outside the court
and on the roads

1276
01:49:04,625 --> 01:49:06,958
are 10-20 times more than those here.

1277
01:49:09,041 --> 01:49:10,750
Passionate devotees.

1278
01:49:12,375 --> 01:49:14,916
They won't tolerate the insults
after a point.

1279
01:49:21,083 --> 01:49:26,041
So if rage leads to riots or bloodshed,
I won't be responsible for it, my lord.

1280
01:49:28,250 --> 01:49:31,541
Mr. Arnsty, any more questions
for Giridhar Khawas?

1281
01:49:31,625 --> 01:49:34,333
No, my lord.
The witness is dismissed.

1282
01:49:35,958 --> 01:49:39,458
I would now like to call my client
Karsan Das Mulji to the witness box.

1283
01:49:47,500 --> 01:49:50,958
Karsan Das Mulji
has been summoned to testify against JJ.

1284
01:49:54,333 --> 01:49:57,458
What exactly is this
"charan seva ke darshan," Karsan Das?

1285
01:49:59,166 --> 01:50:01,625
Watching the Maharaj
have a physical relationship

1286
01:50:01,708 --> 01:50:03,125
with a female devotee.

1287
01:50:03,208 --> 01:50:05,250
You mean intercourse?

1288
01:50:05,333 --> 01:50:07,708
Inside the Haveli?
Yes.

1289
01:50:08,541 --> 01:50:11,375
Devotees have the privilege of watching
this indecency by paying money.

1290
01:50:11,458 --> 01:50:14,833
Oh Vallabhadhish!
Oh Giriraj Dharan!

1291
01:50:17,208 --> 01:50:20,708
Show him mercy, Prabhu,
as he does not know what he is saying.

1292
01:50:21,541 --> 01:50:23,625
Showing devotees the charan seva,

1293
01:50:23,708 --> 01:50:27,666
so they experience moksh is my duty,
my utmost privilege.

1294
01:50:29,041 --> 01:50:30,750
It is an age-old practice.

1295
01:50:30,833 --> 01:50:33,416
It's important for a practice
to be right, not old, JJ.

1296
01:50:33,500 --> 01:50:36,833
If it was wrong, they wouldn't
be singing its praises in the Haveli.

1297
01:50:36,916 --> 01:50:39,750
-All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1298
01:50:39,833 --> 01:50:41,166
All hail Ladle Lal!

1299
01:50:41,250 --> 01:50:42,166
Out!

1300
01:50:42,250 --> 01:50:45,291
-All hail Vallabhadhish!
-Hail!

1301
01:50:45,375 --> 01:50:47,833
--All hail Yadunath Maharaj!
-Hail!

1302
01:50:54,583 --> 01:50:56,375
Mr. Karsan Das,

1303
01:50:57,250 --> 01:51:02,333
Have you watched the charan seva
at the… Haveli with your own eyes?

1304
01:51:03,291 --> 01:51:04,416
Yes.

1305
01:51:06,291 --> 01:51:07,875
Between my fiancée Kishori and JJ.

1306
01:51:07,958 --> 01:51:11,625
Did Kishori have any objection to the act?

1307
01:51:11,708 --> 01:51:14,750
I mean was the seva
forced upon her in any way?

1308
01:51:16,166 --> 01:51:17,291
No.

1309
01:51:17,875 --> 01:51:19,708
I'm sorry, could you repeat that?

1310
01:51:21,583 --> 01:51:23,708
-No.
-No!

1311
01:51:25,375 --> 01:51:28,333
A consensual participant, my lord.

1312
01:51:28,416 --> 01:51:31,958
But you ended
the engagement

1313
01:51:32,041 --> 01:51:35,541
-for this very reason, right?
-Yes.

1314
01:51:35,625 --> 01:51:38,833
And because of that, uh,
you were thrown out of your house?

1315
01:51:39,500 --> 01:51:41,916
-Yes.
-So, naturally,

1316
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:46,750
even your very own family was convinced
what happened was completely--

1317
01:51:46,833 --> 01:51:48,958
My lord,
what are these questions leading to?

1318
01:51:49,041 --> 01:51:51,125
To the motive, Mr. Arnsty!

1319
01:51:51,750 --> 01:51:53,333
Kishori's suicide!

1320
01:51:54,666 --> 01:51:56,125
Banished from his home!

1321
01:51:57,083 --> 01:52:00,166
His own father cutting all ties with him.

1322
01:52:00,250 --> 01:52:02,583
For all these personal tragedies,

1323
01:52:02,666 --> 01:52:06,166
he holds JJ responsible.

1324
01:52:06,750 --> 01:52:09,916
He poured all his anger
and bitterness for the Maharaj

1325
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,583
into the articles
he wrote about him in his newspaper.

1326
01:52:12,666 --> 01:52:17,333
He made a public spectacle
of his personal grudges!

1327
01:52:17,416 --> 01:52:20,625
And for what? For what?

1328
01:52:21,541 --> 01:52:23,583
Revenge? Is that it?

1329
01:52:25,041 --> 01:52:26,333
Or for attention?

1330
01:52:27,458 --> 01:52:29,500
Or to earn some fame and money?

1331
01:52:29,583 --> 01:52:32,666
That only he can tell!

1332
01:52:38,916 --> 01:52:42,166
I'm neither hungry for wealth
nor thirsty for fame.

1333
01:52:44,041 --> 01:52:45,541
I am a Vaishnav by birth,

1334
01:52:46,333 --> 01:52:47,750
a Brahmin by karma.

1335
01:52:48,833 --> 01:52:50,625
I'm Kshatriya by spirit.

1336
01:52:50,708 --> 01:52:52,708
and I aim to have a Shudra's humility.

1337
01:52:55,250 --> 01:52:58,291
That is exactly why I start cleaning up
any filth that I come across.

1338
01:53:01,541 --> 01:53:05,125
You think about it.
What will I achieve by fighting this case?

1339
01:53:05,208 --> 01:53:07,208
Or by writing these articles,
Vakeel Sahab?

1340
01:53:08,416 --> 01:53:11,291
I've never had 50,000 rupees,
and I don't think I ever will.

1341
01:53:13,750 --> 01:53:17,208
My lord, of late I've been reading
a lot of books on religion.

1342
01:53:18,416 --> 01:53:19,916
I'm attending satsangs.

1343
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:26,166
The respect that I had for my religion
and my sect has increased greatly.

1344
01:53:27,166 --> 01:53:29,416
And there's lot of anger
towards every person,

1345
01:53:29,500 --> 01:53:33,166
who distorts its lofty ideals
and purity for vested interest.

1346
01:53:34,833 --> 01:53:37,958
The shlok chanted
while taking the Brahmsambandh vow is…

1347
01:54:01,291 --> 01:54:02,416
This translates as,

1348
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:05,000
"Sri Krishna, you are my only protector.

1349
01:54:05,541 --> 01:54:09,125
I humbly offer my body, my mind,
my wealth, and my entire world to you.

1350
01:54:10,083 --> 01:54:12,166
Krishna, I am your das."
Isn't that right, Maharaj?

1351
01:54:15,125 --> 01:54:17,833
What's the meaning of this shlok
that's taught in the Haveli?

1352
01:54:19,333 --> 01:54:20,625
Please tell us.

1353
01:54:21,125 --> 01:54:23,291
Before one can touch his bride…

1354
01:54:24,375 --> 01:54:25,791
she needs to be…

1355
01:54:28,583 --> 01:54:30,041
sent to the Maharaj.

1356
01:54:30,875 --> 01:54:33,250
Which word from the entire shlok
did he focus on

1357
01:54:33,333 --> 01:54:35,375
instead of mind, body, wealth, and world?

1358
01:54:36,583 --> 01:54:38,958
"Bharya." Woman.

1359
01:54:39,458 --> 01:54:42,666
Tell me, in which ved, or which puran,
or in which shaastra does it state

1360
01:54:42,750 --> 01:54:45,416
that the Maharaj
will touch the woman before her husband?

1361
01:54:45,875 --> 01:54:50,416
There are so many more such examples
of incorrect interpretations.

1362
01:54:51,750 --> 01:54:54,833
The veds, and purans are in Sanskrit,
not everyone can read them.

1363
01:54:54,916 --> 01:54:58,500
So why not translate them directly?
What's the need to transcreate them?

1364
01:54:59,666 --> 01:55:02,583
Duplicity can be expected from a commoner,
but not from a leader.

1365
01:55:02,666 --> 01:55:05,083
To reinterpret changes in meaning
across the ages

1366
01:55:05,166 --> 01:55:07,375
is the responsibility
of the Maharaj, my lord.

1367
01:55:07,458 --> 01:55:09,500
Who decides
whether you're even worthy or not?

1368
01:55:09,583 --> 01:55:12,250
-Who gives you the power?
-My devotees give me this power!

1369
01:55:16,125 --> 01:55:18,625
The devotees give us donations,
ask for sermons

1370
01:55:18,708 --> 01:55:20,750
and the women
come to me willingly for seva.

1371
01:55:20,833 --> 01:55:22,250
So what?

1372
01:55:22,833 --> 01:55:24,833
So what if they come willingly?

1373
01:55:25,458 --> 01:55:27,541
They may be uneducated,
but you are learned.

1374
01:55:29,416 --> 01:55:30,833
You are their guru.

1375
01:55:31,916 --> 01:55:35,041
You could have simply said no to them,
but you did not do that.

1376
01:55:36,250 --> 01:55:37,833
Because they fulfilled your lust.

1377
01:55:40,958 --> 01:55:43,208
A guru guides the lost
along the right path.

1378
01:55:45,708 --> 01:55:47,500
But what if the guru goes astray?

1379
01:55:49,875 --> 01:55:52,083
Exploitation follows power.

1380
01:55:52,166 --> 01:55:55,250
If he goes, another maharaj will come,
and he'll make new rules.

1381
01:55:55,916 --> 01:55:58,958
Whether they get it or not,
I still need to guide the lost.

1382
01:55:59,583 --> 01:56:01,166
I've been saying this from the beginning

1383
01:56:01,250 --> 01:56:05,250
that my fight is neither against
the Haveli nor any sect.

1384
01:56:06,250 --> 01:56:09,333
Yes, I still bow with full devotion
at the Haveli's entrance.

1385
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:12,666
I take pride in being a Vaishnav.

1386
01:56:12,750 --> 01:56:15,500
I continue to be a proud
and devout Vaishnav, my lord.

1387
01:56:17,583 --> 01:56:20,333
I don't have any personal issues
or grudge against JJ.

1388
01:56:21,708 --> 01:56:25,291
The wrongdoing should end
not the wrongdoer.

1389
01:56:27,583 --> 01:56:30,625
These are the wrongdoings
that we devotees are a part of.

1390
01:56:31,541 --> 01:56:33,708
You can't clap with one hand, my lord.

1391
01:56:35,416 --> 01:56:38,583
The Maharajs have got away with this
because we have let them.

1392
01:56:40,125 --> 01:56:43,666
You don't allow your daughters to go out,
your daughters-in-law to drop their veils.

1393
01:56:43,750 --> 01:56:46,750
Can any man even dare
to enjoy charan seva with them?

1394
01:56:46,833 --> 01:56:47,833
And let others watch?

1395
01:56:48,875 --> 01:56:51,166
They want charan seva,
that's their perversity.

1396
01:56:53,083 --> 01:56:55,416
But why do you celebrate that day
with laapsi?

1397
01:56:58,541 --> 01:57:02,416
If we don't stop what's been happening
for hundreds of years, it will continue.

1398
01:57:05,041 --> 01:57:07,291
Only the names
of the dharm gurus will change.

1399
01:57:09,125 --> 01:57:10,208
The stories will repeat.

1400
01:57:15,208 --> 01:57:19,875
Religious beliefs are intensely private,
personal, and sacred.

1401
01:57:22,208 --> 01:57:26,041
They are not bound by any place
nor any form.

1402
01:57:27,208 --> 01:57:30,583
Dharma is followed from one's heart,
not in public places.

1403
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,000
God walks with us all the time.

1404
01:57:35,916 --> 01:57:38,291
We don't need any sort of bridge
to reach or meet Him.

1405
01:57:41,291 --> 01:57:46,041
No JJ, no seva, no practice
will get you a direct ticket to heaven.

1406
01:57:46,125 --> 01:57:49,000
It is always only your karma
that will get you there.

1407
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:02,000
My lord, no matter what the verdict
of this case is but it has taught me this…

1408
01:58:02,791 --> 01:58:04,750
Speak the truth only if you have proof.

1409
01:58:08,041 --> 01:58:09,791
Doesn't matter if a wound hurts.

1410
01:58:11,041 --> 01:58:12,875
It must leave a scar to be noticed.

1411
01:58:17,166 --> 01:58:19,041
And even from behind bars

1412
01:58:20,750 --> 01:58:22,833
I'll continue to ask questions,

1413
01:58:24,875 --> 01:58:26,375
hold people accountable.

1414
01:58:27,083 --> 01:58:29,333
The battlefield may change
but my war won't.

1415
01:58:35,125 --> 01:58:37,333
You're free to stand by me,
or I'll do this alone.

1416
01:58:49,541 --> 01:58:50,833
I will stand by you.

1417
01:59:02,500 --> 01:59:04,583
I am ready to testify against JJ.

1418
01:59:20,333 --> 01:59:21,250
So will I.

1419
01:59:23,041 --> 01:59:24,083
And I.

1420
01:59:26,416 --> 01:59:27,500
And I.

1421
01:59:28,416 --> 01:59:29,791
And I.

1422
01:59:43,583 --> 01:59:47,291
Over the next 7 days, around
32 people came forward and testified.

1423
01:59:49,083 --> 01:59:51,208
Women spoke up fearlessly for themselves.

1424
01:59:54,125 --> 01:59:57,500
Men spoke for their wives,
sisters, and daughters.

1425
01:59:59,250 --> 02:00:02,041
The Maharaj faced defamation
not because of Karsan Das,

1426
02:00:02,125 --> 02:00:03,958
but because of his own misdeeds.

1427
02:00:04,041 --> 02:00:06,166
The court of Sir Mathew Richard Sausse

1428
02:00:06,250 --> 02:00:09,666
gave this landmark verdict
on 22nd April 1862

1429
02:00:09,750 --> 02:00:12,791
and acquitted Karsan Das
of the charge of defamation

1430
02:00:12,875 --> 02:00:14,208
…defendant not guilty.

1431
02:00:18,208 --> 02:00:20,791
While delivering the verdict,
Sir Sausse advised

1432
02:00:20,875 --> 02:00:24,041
that criminal charges
be brought against Yadunath Maharaj.

1433
02:01:06,250 --> 02:01:07,125
Move aside.

1434
02:01:07,208 --> 02:01:11,708
The Maharaj Libel Case led
to the end of practices like charan seva,

1435
02:01:12,458 --> 02:01:17,833
setting an example for people
that even JJ was not above the law.

1436
02:01:26,333 --> 02:01:28,333
The society that we live in today

1437
02:01:29,208 --> 02:01:32,666
is the gift of great reformers
like Karsan Das Mulji,

1438
02:01:33,583 --> 02:01:38,791
who taught people that no intermediary
is needed to have a connection with God.

1439
02:01:39,625 --> 02:01:43,166
Dharma does not make one a god

1440
02:01:43,250 --> 02:01:46,000
but is a means to becoming
a good human being.

1441
02:02:34,333 --> 02:02:38,250
A sect is far more important
than any individual or incident.

1442
02:02:38,333 --> 02:02:40,333
Treating this incident as an exception,

1443
02:02:40,416 --> 02:02:43,125
the Vaishnao sect
continued on the path of religion.

1444
02:02:43,625 --> 02:02:47,041
The Vaishnao sect and its followers
continue to grow and remain

1445
02:02:47,125 --> 02:02:50,791
a proud and integral part
of the social, cultural,

1446
02:02:50,875 --> 02:02:52,833
and religious fabric of India.
