1929, ANAND BHAVAN

Hide, Indu!

Pupul is about to start counting.

Run!

Hide, Indu!

- How are you, Anita?
- I am well. You?

- When did you come?
- Just now.

- Did you stop it?
- Long back.

- Would you like some?
- No.

Vijayalakshmi ma'am has asked you
to go inside.

So, what was I saying?

What do you think you're doing?

Why did you have Ma locked up
inside the room?

Your Ma should be in a sanatorium.

She's just spreading
tuberculosis germs everywhere!

Witch.

What did you just say?

What did you say?

What!

You're ugly and stupid...

just like your mother.

You don't even look
like you're from this family.

So to speak,
we live in this wonderful world

that is full of beauty,
charm and adventure.

Indu? What's wrong, darling?

Aunt Vijayalakshmi hit me.
Throw her out of the house.

But this house belongs to Grandpa.

Tell him about this.
He is the only person who can do this.

The adventures we were talking about!

Throw Aunt Vijayalakshmi
out of this house.

She quarrels with me a lot

and makes Ma cry.

Let me tell you a story.

Indraprastha.

But where is Indraprastha, Grandpa?

The abode of God Indra...

where the Kauravas
and the Pandavas fought their battle.

The battle for satta
has been going on ever since.

The Mughals called this city Delhi,

and the British named it New Delhi.

The capital of India.

Grandpa, what is satta?

Satta...

Satta means power.

And whoever holds power

is called the ruler.

In Indraprastha,

there were many strong warriors

and great rulers.

The greatest ruler is the one

who can overcome great obstacles.

The one who fights great wars...

not small, insignificant battles.

Long years ago,
we made a tryst with destiny,

and now the time comes
when we shall redeem our pledge.

At the stroke of the midnight hour,

when the world sleeps,

India will awake to life and freedom.

A large number of Chinese soldiers
have entered northern NEFA.

After our defeat in Walong and Si La,
we have now lost Bomdila.

Assam was not merely a tract of land,

it was an integral part of India.

The loss of which
cannot be described in words.

I refuse to leave.

I was born here and I will die here.

The Prime Minister
has handed Assam over to China,

there's nothing left for us here,
and you're talking of dying!

What could be worse than death?

Becoming slaves to China.

Who will save Assam now?

Stop! Stop!

No one will leave.

No one will leave Assam.

Till the Chinese army retreats

and the Indian government
officials return,

till the Indian army returns,

I will stay here with you.

Don't leave Assam.

- Hail Mother India!
- Hail!

- Hail Mother India!
- Hail!

Under pressure from the United Nation,

China has declared a ceasefire today.

Chinese soldiers have retreated
from the Indian border.

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
had ceded Assam to China.

China has declared a ceasefire today.

China has declared a ceasefire today.

But Congress President Indira Gandhi

went to Assam in defiance of his orders

and prevented it
from becoming another Kashmir.

Indira, whom Nehru lovingly
called Priyadarshini, and...

I... Little Girl...

If this little girl hadn't gone to Assam

and if international newspapers
had not covered her brave act,

the United Nation
would not have pressurized China

and Assam would have suffered
the same fate as POK.

For Nehru, India is merely an idea,

he never fully understood
the ground reality of the country.

Indira is the only ray of hope
in this darkness.

And I believe, what her father
could not accomplish...

she will.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Father.

Assam is saved.

The Chinese army had to withdraw.

You have become very stubborn, Indu.

You went to Assam
despite me asking you not to.

You didn't listen to me in Kerala either.

You colluded with the extremists

and overthrew the government there.

I worry for you.

I'm inspired by you.

Inspired by me!

Earlier you used to learn from me...

now you're the one trying to teach me.

Pupul has been wanting to tell you
something for some time now.

Talk to her.

Sir...

Mr. Shastri, Mr. Morarji, Mr. Jagjivan

and the other ministers are here
to meet you.

The Syndicate Congress is pressurizing me.

For what?

To name my political heir.

No one is loyal when it comes to politics,
Pupul ma'am.

Mr. Nehru went against everyone's wishes

and made his daughter
President of the political party...

now she's trying to crush him
while making her way to the top.

- Indu did what she felt...
- Pupul...

...was the right thing to do.

- I'll leave. Namaste.
- Namaste.

Congratulations, Indu.

You did a great job in Assam.

Everyone is talking about you.

And what are they saying?

Never mind. Aren't you happy?

You saved the country
from being broken into pieces.

But I see my relationships breaking now...

Father said you have something to tell me.

Uncle said, he has given

Anand Bhavan to Aunt Vijayalakshmi

and that you should vacate it.

Indu...

Anand Bhavan! Anand Bhavan!

Why did you marry me
if you wanted to stay there?

Indu... I'm talking to you, Indu.

It's only a matter of seven days,
I'll be back soon.

You just got back from Allahabad
four days ago...

I'm sure your father won't mind
if you take your child along.

- Please take care of him.
- Yes, madam.

Indu...

I get very lonely.

I need companionship too.

You have your wild parties.
You don't need my companionship, Feroze.

- What are you saying?
- I've seen it.

I know what's going on, Feroze.

I am not a child.

If you aren't a child, why do you keep
tailing your father around?

Because I've got
other responsibilities too...

as a daughter...

also towards this country.

You should support me in my career.

Don't be a typical husband!

Indu...

You never really saw me as your husband.

This marriage was just an excuse

for you to take revenge
on the Nehru family

for the way they treated your mother.

Indu, I'm talking to you.
You can't leave me like this!

Indu!

Indu...

Indu?

After Feroze passed away and the children
got busy with their own lives,

I thought of spending my days here
in Anand Bhavan.

I was torn between my father
and my husband for years.

In the end of it all, neither was
my father happy, nor was my husband.

Don't say that, Indu.

Father was saying, Syndicate Congress
is pressurizing him.

To make Shastri the Prime Minister?

I don't think anyone is pressurizing him.

What do you feel?

I feel...

he has become a defeated man.

And a defeated man...

can never be happy
for someone else's victory.

I will never be like him.

I'll fight.

28th MAY, 1964

I, Lal Bahadur Shastri, solemnly swear

to uphold the Constitution of India
as by law established,

with truth and devotion.

I will do right to all manner of people,

in accordance with the Constitution
and the law.

Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died
under mysterious circumstances,

in Tashkent today.

The country is anxiously waiting to know

who our next Prime Minister will be.

I, Indira Gandhi,
in the name of the Almighty God

swear in the name
of the Indian Constitution

that I will have my full faith
and allegiance towards it.

Satta means power.

And whoever holds power
is called the ruler.

I will serve my duties as Prime Minister

with utmost reverence and conscience.

The dumb little girl tarnished her
father's reputation and usurped his chair.

She's no Prime Minister!
This is dynasty politics.

Mark my words,
she won't even last two months.

Right now, we just need a face
for our political party

behind which, we...

can run the government.

17th APRIL 1971, RIVER MUHURI, TRIPURA

Aim.

Stop. Stop.

Don't take my child...

Give it!

My child...

You want your child?

Come...

- Father... Father...
- Father, get up.

Pick her up and bring her. Come.

Let go of me.

Don't be scared.

We are from the Indian army.

We are here to help you.

Come, give me your hand.

You are safe now.

Welcome to India.

Thank you so much...

East Pakistan wants to break away
from West Pakistan

and form a new country,

because the West Pakistani Punjabis
have nothing in common

with the Bengalis of East Pakistan.

In the Pakistani general election
held on 7th December, 1970,

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's Awami League

won 167 seats out of 169,
an absolute majority.

Yahya Khan suffered a huge defeat.

A defeat he could not accept.

Crush East Pakistan!

This is why he started massacring Bengalis

under Operation Search Light.

Mr. Kao, what have you decided?

Madam Prime Minister, it is true

that hundreds of thousands of scared
refugees are entering India, but...

this is your decision.

Do you want to interfere
in another country's civil war?

1 SAFDARJUNG ROAD

- Come on.
- Namaste. Please come.

- Namaste.
- Namaste, Madam.

Please sit.

Namaste, madam.

Ms. Indira, millions of refugees
have entered India from East Pakistan.

Such a huge surge in population
is a serious problem.

The real problem is the genocide.

Not just Hindus, Shias are also
being mercilessly killed.

Once the news spreads from the border
areas to the rest of the country,

it will lead to riots.

You very well know, news travels
faster than light nowadays.

And the Opposition will be quick
to attack us on this.

Tea.

Tea?

ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE. 6

This is the BBC news in Hindi.

More than ten million refugees
from East Pakistan have entered India.

There is danger of riots breaking out

in the border areas and Indian states,
over religious differences.

- You may leave. I will serve the tea.
- Okay, ma'am.

Should I add more sugar?

Thank you.

Ms. Indira, this is my country too.

You don't need to be extra sweet
or flatter me.

The Opposition will handle the Parliament.

Thank you.

But what about the rest of the world?

All the powerful countries of the world,

America, China, Britain, France,
are all against us.

The Soviet Union is not against us.

They might not be against us,
but they don't support us either.

There is a solution.

Friendship.

Indo-Soviet Treaty of Friendship
and Cooperation.

The wounds of 1962...

are still fresh in our memory.

I hope you will be able
to soothe those wounds.

Mr. Vajpayee,
may I say something personal?

Off the record.

I had come here to bargain
with a politician...

but I see a loyal patriot
and a true statesman before me.

This country will need a Prime Minister
like you in the future.

But this may not be possible
while madam is around.

Mr. Dhawan, I'm destined
to become the Prime Minister.

I would like to see you in the Opposition
when I take my oath.

I hope you'll still be around.

Let's go.

Mr. Dhawan, where is he?

He is not here yet.

Have you told him that the PM is waiting?

Mr. Dhawan, have you told him
that the PM is waiting?

I have.

What did he say?

He said, "Let the girl wait for me."

SAM MANEKSHAW

- Prime Minister...
- Sam.

Good morning, Prime Minister.

- Please.
- Thank you.

The only permanent solution
is for East Pakistan

to get independence from West Pakistan.

So you want war?

We will have to wait for more than a year,
for a decisive victory.

We don't have that much time, Sam.

Millions of refugees
are entering border-sensitive areas.

Riots might break out--

Prime Minister, war is 90 per cent waiting

and 10 per cent fighting.

Sam...

are you with me in this?

I am with India, Prime Minister.

I will give you Bangladesh.

But make sure you don't succumb
to international pressure,

because once the Indian army
moves forward,

it won't retreat.

Was Kissinger's visit to Beijing
in favor of Pakistan?

Today the Prime Minister is signing

an important treaty with Soviet Union.

Will the Indo-Soviet Friendship
and Cooperation Treaty

have a domino effect?

According to this treaty, both countries
will be allies fighting together.

What is the situation at the border?
Will there be another war?

The people have a right to know.

It is a delicate situation, the government
would not like to divulge details.

The dumb little girl barely speaks

and when she does,
she squeaks like a whistle!

AIR INDIA

OCTOBER 1971, PARIS

Madam, I know what you want to say

but please understand my situation.

France is a member of NATO.

If USA wants a war against India,
we will have to support USA.

I'm afraid I cannot help you.

Bon appétit.

Please have the cake.

France has a rich history of
revolutionaries toppling the establishment

to form a democracy.

Lines written by a great French author
come to my mind...

In a country where citizens are tortured,

even if they are my enemies,

I will make sure to bring them relief

without expecting anything in return.

Please pack this slice of cake,
I'd like to take it back to my country.

Such a small piece of cake?

Yes.

I'll take it with me
and tell my countrymen

that at this time of crisis,

France has sent this piece of cake
as a sign of our friendship.

There is softness in your words,

but they also slice through
like a sharp knife.

I can promise you one thing...

If there is war
between India and Pakistan,

and the USA supports Pakistan,
we will have to stand with the USA.

But...

if Pakistan is the one
to initiate the war with India,

France shall remain neutral.

Thank you.

What is the problem?

You allowed Awami League to form
a government in exile, near Calcutta...

Why won't you grant it a formal status?

The Opposition is trying to take advantage

of the East Pakistan crisis
to further their political ambition.

Let me tell you, the government
won't succumb to pressure.

The dumb little girl has found her voice.

NOVEMBER 1971, WASHINGTON D.C

We need to take a photograph.

- Mrs. Gandhi, here please.
- Over here.

A couple of words.

Mrs. Gandhi, welcome to the White House.

Thank you, Mr. Kissinger.

This way, ma'am. Please come.

President Nixon will be with you
in just a moment.

Meeting is slated at 9 o'clock.

Let me check.

Guerrilla warfare has resumed in Cambodia.

The US army's conventional weapons
are ineffective

in a country that isn't industrialized.

Is this the defeat of the US in Vietnam?

The army of the Republic of Vietnam
has assumed offensive operations.

US combat troops are in defense mode only.

Mr. President...

The Vietnamese army
is using the dense jungle as cover.

The situation in Vietnam...

is serious.

Yes, I know.

But, sir, we shouldn't keep
our guest waiting for too long.

Guest? Who?

The Indian Prime Minister, Mrs. Gandhi.

As I informed you,
she's been waiting since morning.

You know, Henry, I find Indian women
to be so unattractive...

I wonder how Indian men are able
to reproduce with them.

Anyway, show her in.

Yes, sir.

Madam Prime Minister,
the President will see you now.

This way, please.

- Mrs. Gandhi...
- Thank you.

- Welcome to the White House.
- Thank you, Mr. President.

Please take a seat.

Mrs. Gandhi, I believe
that you may be under the misconception

that India could prevail in a war
against Pakistan.

But such an operation
would not be as simple as draping a sari.

You see, alongside the Pakistani army,
there would be

the might of the US military.

Now this consists of millions of soldiers,

perhaps six or seven hundred
thousand personnel

in the Air Force and in the Navy,

648 Patton battle tanks

as well as, at least a million M-16
machine guns

and other forms of arsenal.

So, you would be best advised
to stay in your center in Delhi

and not concern yourself with what
is happening to the left or to the right.

Firstly, for a man who can't save
his tuck just a few hours into the day

shouldn't find draping a sari easy.

It is as complicated as your relation
with the Soviets.

But the trick lies in pinning it down
when it misbehaves.

Mr. President, as for our warfare skills,

I suggest you look at a country
like Vietnam.

It is ten times smaller than India.

They do not have tanks, submarines,
machine guns

or even air-crafts.

But they're crushing your army
on their motherland.

What is helping them?

Their guts.

You have weaponry,

we have courage.

That's all it takes.

Pakistanis, listen to me carefully.

We refuse to celebrate Pakistan Day
in Bengal!

On that day,
we will observe Resistance Day.

We will fight, not because you are strong,

but because you think we are weak.

We will fight for our dignity,
for our motherland.

If required, every single Bengali
will become a revolutionary

to fight for the independence
of Bangladesh.

My country, Bangladesh!

My country, Bangladesh!

Isn't there something that you can do

to stop this imminent confrontation
with Pakistan?

Well, a solution has to be worked out.

I urge America to put pressure on Pakistan
to stop this exodus...

put an end to the genocide
in East Pakistan.

The world has to come together
and stand with India...

take some decisive actions.

If they don't,

we surely will.

Mr. Khan...

She is getting extensive coverage
by the media.

On one hand, she continues
to pressurize America,

while openly threatening us, on the other.

This woman has tested my patience
long enough.

- Niazi...
- Yes, sir.

Launch airstrikes against that
bloody shithole of a country!

But if Pakistan is the one
to initiate the war with India,

France shall remain neutral.

...fulfillment of not their options,
but their promises.

The only way to win is by war.

Why are we silent?

We should retaliate!

Please maintain decorum. Please sit down.

Silence. Please give Mrs. Gandhi
a chance to speak.

Please speak, Mrs. Gandhi.

Thank you, Mr. Singh.

This is an hour of crisis for India.

We should not retaliate in anger,
but maintain peace.

Like he did.

Do you want us to practice non-violence
right now?

Sit on a hunger strike?

What are you talking about?
A hunger strike?

Be inspired by his source of guidance,

not his words.

He is holding the Gita...

And the Gita says...

"Truth can only prevail through war!"

This is Indraprastha,

and we have now declared war
against the enemy!

Let the resounding sound
Of your conch shell

Pierce through the skies

Without delay, plunge your spears
Into their chests

Prepare for battle, unleash your valor
And fight for your country's honor

For your country...
For your independence...

For your beliefs...
Lay down your life if need be

Admiral John McCain,

your fleet must reach the shores
of East Pakistan within 13 days.

Yes, sir, that's the plan.

Jai Hind, ma'am.
American President Mr. Nixon on the line.

Hello?

Mrs. Gandhi, you have effectively
declared war on Pakistan.

My fleet will be on the shores
of East Pakistan within 13 days.

You should have rethought this decision.

There's nothing to think, Mr. President.

In fact, Indian defense will be waiting
to welcome your troops.

The American Navy ships
will reach East Pakistan in 13 days.

I only need 12 and a half days, madam.

Twelve and a half days?

It is past noon today...

My army and I will present East Pakistan
to you within the next 12 and a half days.

Move forward.

Move forward.

Down, boys.

Throw the grenade.

Grenade!

Your motherland
The essence of your pride

Is in distress
Burdened by sorrow and pain

Take up your weapons
Prepare for battle

And bring your enemies crashing down

O brave heart
Roar with the fierce might of a lion

Prepare for battle
Unleash your valor

And fight for your country's honor

For your country...
For your independence...

For your beliefs...
Lay down your life if need be

Yes, Mr. President?

Our men have now reached
the shores of East Pakistan.

So have ours.

They're waiting to welcome you.

In fact, you are late by a minute,
Mr. President!

Yes?

Mr. President, we are currently
approaching the shores of East Pakistan,

but the Indian Army,
they are waiting for us

at the shore with garlands.

Sir, General Niazi has surrendered.

Welcome to Bangladesh, Mr. President.

Attention!

16th December 1971, BANGLADESH

Surrender!

Our motherland, Bengal,
is speaking to me...

What is she saying, Father?

She says, "Never forget your mother."

But my mother was killed during the war.

Your mother was not killed.

None of us Bengalis
have lost our mother...

Our motherland, India,
has given birth to Bengal.

Let us take a vow...

As long as the river Brahmaputra flows,

as long as we speak Bengali...

we will remain grateful
to our Mother India.

And we will sing praises
of Indira Gandhi so loudly

that it will be heard in Delhi!

Praise Mother Indira!

Praise Mother Indira!

Praise Mother Indira!

Praise Mother Indira!

The Goddess of birth,
nurturing and destruction...

Indira, Indira, Indira!

The Goddess of birth, nurturing
And destruction...

Indira, Indira, Indira!

The Goddess of birth, nurturing
And destruction...

Indira, Indira, Indira!

The Goddess of birth, nurturing
And destruction...

India is Indira.

Indira is India.

2nd JULY 1972, SHIMLA

I don't understand why she did this.

After such a historic win,

she could have taken POK back
if she wanted to.

But she became meek in front of Bhutto,

returned the prisoners of war,

returned the captured lands...

The Shimla Agreement
is a big defeat for India.

This is what happens...

when a person's objective...

is not nationalism

but power.

This is what happens
when one's objective is

not serving the people

but personal glory.

It is now evident,

if we want to end corruption...

and unemployment...

bring about a revolution in education...

the entire system has to undergo a change.

And there is only one way
to change the system.

A revolt.

These trains will not run
till we get our wages!

These trains are crushing
our workers' rights, their existence...

I'd rather go to jail
than work for the Railways.

- Better jail than rail!
- Better jail than rail!

A nationwide strike of transport workers

has been led by George Fernandes...

bringing the country
practically to a standstill.

Some more bad news?

J.P.? Taunts about the Shimla Agreement?
Reforms?

Railway strike? George Fernandes?
Which one?

Sanjay.

- Hey, Sanjay. You rogue.
- Wait.

Sanjay...

What?

No.

No!

Oh, God!

Sultana.

What?

Just the pin.

You rascal!

Ready?

Thief! Thief!

Oh, dear!

Pupul, you know

the love and support I wanted
from Father, from Feroze...

I found in Sanjay.

He's a gifted child.

I won't be surprised if he goes on to
become the Prime Minister of this country.

Indu, your love for your son
has made you blind.

Try to understand the public pulse.

No one thinks this.

The public perceives Sanjay as a spoiled,
rich kid.

Pupul!

Why are you so annoyed with Sanjay?

Is it because he's aware

how you try to take credit for 1971,
behind my back?

What!

I'll go.

Pupul...

Do you know
what the easiest way is to fall, Indu?

To let go of people who have
supported you since childhood.

I haven't heard anything...

- I will ask Mr. Dhawan.
- I even called and reminded him, madam.

It will be of help if you take a look.

I will let you know what can be done.

Okay, madam.

Goddammit!

I like them medium done!

Let us step outside...

Satish!

- Namaste.
- Namaste, madam.

- Yes, madam.
- You still don't know his preferences!

Rajiv, Sanjay needs to settle down.

Is he serious about Maneka?

I think he is.

Get the invitations printed.

Time for another grand wedding
in the family.

Congratulations, Ms. Indira.

- You too, Sanjay.
- Thank you, sir.

Bless you.

Goodbye. Come.

Namaste, madam.

Namaste.

What's wrong?

Is it the food?

No, the food is great.

- Is the decoration not good?
- Everything is fine.

Then what is it?

George Fernandes is creating a stir.

Raj Narayan, JP
and Shanti Bhushan have united,

and the summon
for the Raebareli case has arrived.

These Opposition members
who are enjoying their dessert...

all have their eye on your chair.

They are waiting for you to fall
so that they can grab your seat.

You said you have a plan
to divert the people's attention...

Mr. Ramanna.

Yes, ma'am?

This Buddha Purnima,

will the world get a peace message
from India?

Absolutely, madam.

The smiling Buddha.

MAY 1974, RAJASTHAN

Five...

four...

three...

two...

one...
Start!

Mr. Bansal, don't print the headline
on the railway strike.

But the paper has gone for printing--

Listen, listen...
That news has become boring.

People want something sensational.

The sensational news right now
is that of the nuclear test at Pokhran.

The Buddha has finally smiled.

The country is struggling
with corruption and famine,

and the Prime Minister
is diverting everyone's attention

by conducting nuclear tests.

What can we possibly do?

The Prime Minister is among the most
powerful people in the world today.

We are ordinary people after all.

To stop the people from moving ahead

Is not a power Time possesses

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Make way for the chariot of Time

Listen to the rumbling of its wheels

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
to appear in front of

Allahabad High Court judge
Jagmohan Lal Sinha today.

Down with Indira Gandhi!

Please sit down.

According to the conventions of the court,

and keeping the honor
of the court in mind,

no one will stand when our witness
enters the court.

Please sit down.

Start the proceedings.

Thank you, My Lord.

You took help from serving
government officers

during your Raebareli election campaign.

I did not take help
from any government officer.

Mr. Yashpal Kapoor was assisting you

during your election campaign.

No, he had resigned by then.

He submitted his resignation
but it had not been accepted.

No, it had been accepted.

As Prime Minister, you used
an Air Force airplane during the election.

You agree?

At that time, I had not decided
to contest from Raebareli.

I took the decision on 1st February.

The All India Congress Committee
had decided on 29th January

that you would contest from Raebareli
and it also had your approval.

I had no knowledge of AICC's decision
and I had not given my approval.

Your Honor, I have proof

that you already knew
about your contesting in the election.

My Lord...

you can take a look at it too.

Can you read this?

Can you tell us when it is that you
decided to contest from Raebareli?

Yes or no? Please tell us.

Did you or did you not know? Tell us.

This has been written
in complicated legal language,

and I can't understand it.

You can't understand legal language?

That's all, My Lord.

You may leave.

Thank you.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi
cannot understand legal language.

She is the last to know of the decisions

taken by her own political party,
the All India Congress Committee.

The Air Force airplane
was used for security purposes.

We are willing to believe these lies,

but was the podium, loud speaker, rostrum,
all used for security purposes?

The Uttar Pradesh government claims,

the cost of Mrs. Gandhi's
political campaign

has amounted to 3.2 million rupees
in just two months.

This is a huge burden
for a poor state like Uttar Pradesh.

If she can blatantly lie
about this in court,

she has no right to remain
the Prime Minister of this country.

I would request the court

to declare Mrs. Gandhi's victory
in the election null and void.

The court directs the Congress party

to choose a new Prime Minister
within the next two weeks.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi is prohibited

from contesting in an election
for six years.

The court nullifies her victory.

Where is Mummy?

Bloody hooligans!

This is political murder, Mamma.

Sanjay, this is a huge conspiracy
against me.

Ms. Indira.

I am deeply saddened
to hear the court's unfair verdict.

I am truly hurt.

But I feel

this is not the time to feel sad.

We should overcome our grief

and make some hard decisions
for the sake of the party.

Indira ma'am,
you are very generous, and I know

you will uphold the honor
of the Constitution.

Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri too,

after the rail incident at Mahbubnagar,

had submitted his resignation
on moral grounds.

I know you want to hand over the reins

to the most senior
and experienced member--

What's going on?

The Cabinet is making
an important decision, Indira ma'am.

Disrupting such a meeting
is unconstitutional.

Which Cabinet are you referring to?

Kitchen cabinet?

And what is it that you are cooking?

A new Prime Minister?

Whatever I say will be final.

What is this nonsense!

Madam, is this how one behaves
with senior officials of the party?

Hell yes!

It is your duty to protect your chair.

Once you leave it...

it's gone.

Excuse me, madam Prime Minister,
but you will have to resign.

Not just the Opposition,

the people of this country
are against you as well.

You have done so much for this country

and yet...

Country?

What exactly is this country?

The Himalayas in the north,

the peninsula in the south,

Bay of Bengal in the east,

Arabian Sea in the west...

The diverse artists of the south,
the farmers of Punjab...

What is India?

India...

is its population of 60 crores...

for whose rights...

I fought against the entire world.

And today, they want me thrown out.

If I can fight against the world
for their rights,

I can also fight against them
for my own rights.

India is Indira,

and Indira is India.

No force can halt the power of the people

The people shall pierce
Through the veil of injustice

Though tyrants may wield sticks

The people are armed with the Constitution

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

BIHAR UNIVERSITY

The ground will quake

And the skies will tremble

With the resounding roar of your voices

In the Parliament

And across the country

People will raise their voices in protest

The ground will quake

And the skies will tremble

With the resounding roar of your voices

In the Parliament

And across the country

People will raise their voices in protest

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

No force can halt the power of the people

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Stop! Stop!

The headline will change.

What happened, sir?

The orders have been passed, Mr. Ray.

All courts are closed from today.

Cut off electricity for all newspaper
offices and printing presses.

Mr. Sanjay, the Emergency has a law,

according to which no action can be taken

till all rules have been framed.

You won't be able to run this country,
Mr. Ray.

If you want progress
in your political career,

stop hobnobbing with the communists.

You're half a communist already.

This country will become an open jail
if this happens.

Also, we need the approval
of the entire Cabinet

in order to declare a state of Emergency,
Ms. Indira.

I am the Cabinet, Mr. President.

Have you forgotten how you got this chair?

Arrest people at midnight?

I want them arrested immediately!

It's an order.

DISTRICT MAGISTRATE OFFICE, DELHI

Close down. Now...

How can the police just barge in?

- They don't have arrest warrants--
- Let's go.

- What are you doing?
- Where are you taking him?

- Please come.
- What happened? What is this?

What is going on here?

What's happening?

Madam, you have to come with us.

- Where are you taking me?
- We have orders.

NIKHIL CHAKRAVARTY

You cannot do this.
This is death of democracy!

This is your arrest warrant.

The ground will quake

And the skies will tremble

With the resounding roar of your voices

In the Parliament

And across the country

People will raise their voices in protest

What nonsense is this!

- You cannot arrest--
- Speak to your lawyer.

This is not right--

- Move aside, arrest him.
- What happened?

- Wait, listen to me...
- You can't take me!

Leave. Right now.

Wake them up.

Arrest them all.

Get down, quickly.

Hurry up! Trying to act like leaders!

Let go. Why are you pushing?

Hurry up.

Though few

These fireflies we hold in our hand

Be assured

Shall illuminate the night sky

Do not fear the callouses on your feet
My friend

Forge ahead

For beyond lies the path to freedom

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

Vacate the throne

For the people are on their way

My dear citizens...

the agitation led by Jay Prakash Narayan

is a threat to the national security
and democracy of this country.

There is no need to be terrorized.

Mr. President has declared
a State of Emergency.

Cell number one, Raj Narayan.

Nikhil Chakravarty.

What is this never-ending dark night

with no dawn in sight?

Who could have imagined
that democracy would one day

be stifled in this manner?

That every voice which rose in protest...

would be...

crushed so mercilessly.

There is one voice that remains...

One that she will not be able to silence.

That of her conscience.

Ramchandra Sahi succumbed
to extreme torture in Darbhanga Jail.

The Emergency is a blot
on the history of Indian democracy.

This is the first time
there is discipline in the country.

The buses and trains are running on time--

Mummy, Gujral is simply not able
to build the right perception.

Call Gujral.

All India Radio Hindi covered
news of the PTI without censoring it.

Reported that the Supreme Court

has ordered a temporary stay on
Mummy's position as Member of Parliament.

So is that okay to you, Mr. Gujral?

Do you know even know
how to control your ministry?

Why are you not able
to present news positively?

Answer me!

Mr. Sanjay, I'm also displeased
with such coverage.

But I do not owe you an explanation.

Sanjay is right.

Here onwards, I want news scripts
of all the Hindi and English news

on Doordarshan and AIR, in advance.

But even I can't go through
all the scripts.

I don't care
if you can't go through them!

I want to see all the scripts in advance.

Yes, Prime Minister.

We have to replace him.

VC Shukla is the right choice
to handle Information and Broadcasting.

He is one of our men.

When the Supreme Court judges
were asked about Article 21...

Article 21?

Article 21 gives every Indian

the right to live
and enjoy personal freedom.

The Supreme Court judges replied,

"We regret to inform you

that Article 21 is dismissed
during Emergency."

What does the media
have to say about this?

The media was asked to conform

but they've completely surrendered!

Khushwant Singh writes,
"This is the first time

buses and trains are running on time
in this country."

No one mentions that the country

has come to a standstill.

Respected Prime Minister,
as we can all see,

you are sitting not on a chair,
but on a tiger...

and this is no ordinary tiger.

This is a vicious and terrifying tiger

whose monstrous roars
echo throughout the world.

This tiger has devoured
the Indian democracy today.

You will get off this tiger
at some point...

Be careful, this tiger
might devour you too.

Your well-wisher, Jay Prakash Narayan.

Madam, Ms. Pupul is here.

- Send her in.
- Okay.

- Still angry?
- No.

I am not angry...

I am worried.

Indu, you have imprisoned
more than a million people.

The entire country is terrified.

Rumors are rife...

some true, some false.

There is growing hatred
towards you among the people.

Hatred?

Hatred, hatred, hatred...

What else have I got from this country?

This is not an ordinary painting.

The Prime Minister has been depicted
as the Goddess of Power.

She's a pure embodiment of Mother India,

who is the protector
and nurturer of every Indian.

When you can see through flattery...

you should set forth
in search of the truth.

It's never too late.

Madam PM, world-known philosopher
J. Krishnamurti.

Thank you for your advice,
even if it was unsolicited.

Some people seek advice with their words,

and some, with their eyes.

I'll take your leave.

Namaste.

Mr. Dhawan, this 15th August,

I will take a very important decision.

You will take the right decision, madam.

15th AUGUST 1975, DACCA

- The elections...
- All right...

What's going on?

Father!

Father, people are here to kill you.
Get inside.

- Please go inside. Go in!
- What's wrong?

- Jai Hind, sir.
- Jai Hind, sir.

Where's Mummy?

Everyone is waiting for her at Red Fort.

Inside.

- Mummy, what are you doing?
- Sanjay!

They murdered everyone
in Mr. Mujibur's family.

That's unfortunate,
but we're getting late.

Everyone is waiting to hear
your Independence Day speech at Red Fort.

Let's go. We need to go.

Sanjay...

what do I say
in my Independence Day speech?

That there is no independence
in this country?

That there is a state of Emergency?

And if I lift this Emergency,

they will come out of jails
and kill all of us!

We shouldn't go anywhere.

- Sanjay, you shouldn't go either--
- Mummy, get a grip on yourself.

In her Independence Day speech
at the Red Fort today,

we hope Mrs. Indira Gandhi
will announce her decision

to end the state of Emergency
in the country.

...that she will release all those
who have been imprisoned

and bring an end
to this dark phase in India.

Madam...

Madam, let's go.

This country,
which has become an open jail,

might get independence.

Jai Hind.

My dear citizens...

Television has not reached
all the cities yet,

but agriculture programs are being shown

to villagers across the country
through satellites.

We want to serve this country,

but we have become selfish
in some respects.

We are ignoring our responsibilities.

We are immensely proud
of the brave soldiers in the army.

Jai Hind.

She didn't say anything
about the emergency.

The Prime Minister spoke on every topic

that may not be important at this time.

But the topic regarding bringing relief
to the people of the country...

of lifting the state of Emergency
in the country

was not mentioned.

The state of Emergency
in the country continues.

Sanjay! Sanjay!

What's wrong?

A cruel, ugly woman haunts me
in my dreams.

I don't know who she is.

Both of you shift into the room
next to mine.

I feel claustrophobic.

Of course, Mummy.

Tear this mirror down and throw it away

Soothe this deep wound
Etched into my soul

Was it through an open door or window

This restlessness crept in?

This restlessness...

Restlessness...

- You. Come here.
- Yes, madam?

Who's that?

In the mirror? It's your reflection.

The pain that I have inflicted upon others

Has come back to haunt me

How I long for some relief...

From the silent screams around me

Sleep eludes me
My dreams are desolate

I wonder who has cursed me with this...

Restlessness...

This restlessness...

1976, TURKMAN GATE, DELHI

The next song has been sung
by Kishore Kumar.

Why is All India Radio still playing
Kishore Kumar's songs?

Anyone who speaks against the government
should be silenced.

I had told them to stop...

I guess we should make
an example this time.

How long will you take?
Are you here for a stroll? Move aside.

- This is a narrow lane, get the car out.
- Move ahead. Hurry up.

What's going on?

These people from the slum
have encroached upon government roads.

It'll be difficult to drive through this.

This place stinks like shit!

This is Delhi, India's capital.

The city should shine like London
and Manhattan, not...

not like this.

Let's beautify Delhi.

Have this, dear.

Did you steal the baby's anklet?

I didn't. It must be here somewhere.

You've become such a liar!

Attention, everyone...

There is no need to panic.

The government is building

new homes for all of you
in Rajendra Nagar.

All of you will have to relocate.

But that area is two hours away.

It'll be difficult for us
to commute every day.

If you do not relocate willingly,
you will be forced to do so.

This project falls
under Mr. Sanjay's scheme,

and we will carry out his orders.

We refuse to move!

Sanjay Gandhi will never be able
to move us away from here!

What do you say?

We will not move!
We refuse to go, we will stay here.

Carry on, do your job.

Start the bulldozer.

Move back. Move.

What are you all doing?

No, don't tear my house down!

Beat them up. Go away!

- Where is my son, Ashok?
- Ma!

- Ashok!
- Ma!

Ma, I found the anklet.

Ashok! My son!

Ashok!

Son! Are you all right?

Ashok.

Look, Ma. I didn't steal it.

No, you didn't...

Ashok!

Ashok! Ashok!

Mr. Sanjay, the 10,000 houses we built

for the displaced people, are not enough.

Why?

Sir, there were millions,
not thousands, living there.

Goddammit!

Churchill was right,
bloody Indians breed like rabbits.

What can the government do about this?

We can't force the men to get a vasectomy.

Why not?

Young or old...

spare nobody.

Stop vasectomy!

- Stop vasectomy!
- Stop vasectomy!

Reward those who do it willingly.

Come forward. Here you go.

And those who are not willing...

Salute to the government

Run! The vasectomy vans are here! Run!

For carrying out this carnage

Salute to the government

I am ready to die

At your hands

Take off your shirt and lie down.

I'll happily drink the poison you serve...

Salute to the government

Come on, move...

Beat us up mercilessly

For we are sinners...

An ignorant lot

Don't hesitate

Or hold a flicker of doubt

Crush us as you please

Show no mercy

We hold no value

Nor are we of any worth

We, mere morsels
Are destined to be devoured

MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST
FORCED STERILIZATION. 50 PEOPLE DEAD.

More than 10 million men
were forced to get a vasectomy.

Medical negligence resulted
in the death of thousands.

I feel...

I'm riding atop a vicious
and terrifying animal.

If I try to get off now,

it will devour me.

Indira, you must fulfill
your responsibilities.

The country is like an orphan right now.

Clean roads, buses and trains
running like clockwork

are not enough
to make people feel safe and free.

Your son and you
have stifled the voice of the press.

People are too afraid to speak up.

You have virtually silenced everyone.

The people of this nation have put
all their trust and faith in you...

you must live up to that, Indira.

Because India is Indira,

and Indira is India.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi lifts Emergency.

India sees freedom again.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
has announced the end of Emergency

and is set to release
all political prisoners.

Bringing a sigh of relief
to the entire country,

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
has ended the state of Emergency.

The Prime Minister ended
the state of Emergency

and announced Parliament elections.

How did the school function go?

- It went well.
- That's enough.

You want to end Emergency,
but why announce elections?

If elections are conducted,
our defeat is inevitable.

Whether we win or lose...

it is for the people to decide.

Soon after the Emergency was lifted today,

political leaders are being released
from prisons all over the country.

These political leaders had been
imprisoned during the Emergency.

In other news,

People's Leader Jay Prakash Narayan
has formed a new political party.

From now on, leaders will not emerge
from political dynasties

but will be chosen from among the people.

This is why our party will be known
as the Janata Party.

In today's news, we will announce
the results of the nationwide elections.

P. Rajagopalanaidu from Congress
has won the first seat, from Chittor.

Member of Parliament, C. R. Rao from
Janata Party, suffered a crushing defeat.

Member of Parliament Chengalraya Naidu
of Janata Party suffered a defeat.

The eighth seat also goes to Congress.

Janata Party is yet to win a single seat.

AR Badrinarayan of Congress
has won in Karnataka.

I can't believe
that she still has the support of people.

This news is being broadcast by Akashvani.

Lalit Kumar Doley of Congress
has won in Assam.

Congress has won
in Thiruvananthapuram as well.

M. N. Govindan Nair has won
by a large margin.

Janata Party's Ramanand Tiwari
has won in Buxar, Bihar.

In Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh,

Mr. Manohar Lal, in alliance
with Janata Party, has won.

Chaudhary Charan Singh in alliance
with Janata Party, has won in Baghpat.

Congress President Indira Gandhi was
defeated by a large margin in Raebareli.

Shri Morarji Desai of Janata Party has
won the election from Surat in Gujarat.

Janata Party has wreaked havoc everywhere.

Sanjay Gandhi suffered a crushing defeat
in Amethi.

Janata Party, under the leadership
of Jay Prakash Narayan,

has won with a huge margin
in this election.

This is a historic win.

With this,
we end our special election bulletin.

This was madness!

What you have done
for the past two years...

was also madness.

That may have been madness,
but this was political suicide.

I, Morarji Ranchhodji Desai,
in the name of the Almighty God,

swear in the name
of the Indian Constitution

that I will have my full faith
and allegiance towards it.

I, Morarji Ranchhodji Desai,

will uphold the sovereignty
and integrity of India.

As Prime Minister, I will fulfill
my duties with my full faith...

Namaste, Prime-- oh...

Sorry... Mrs. Indira Gandhi.

...swear in the name
of the Indian Constitution

that I will have my full faith
and allegiance towards it.

You were defeated in Raebareli,

and Sanjay, following in your footsteps,
in Amethi.

You were defeated too.

Me?

But I won.

I, Lal Krishna Advani,

in the name of the Almighty God swear...

I've got a seat in the Cabinet.

But you have lost the trust
that the party and I had in you.

Ever since your dear son
called us the Kitchen Cabinet...

the party has become redundant.

I, George Mathew Fernandes,
in the name of the Almighty God swear...

You try to become
the Prime Minister repeatedly,

but you fail each time.

This is what hurts you.

Soon you will be hurt too...

You're used to living in government
mansions, for the past 30 years...

I'll take your leave.

Time to take my oath.

I, Jagjivan Sobhi Ram,
in the name of the Almighty God

swear in the name
of the Indian Constitution

that I will have my full faith
and allegiance towards it.

Madam, why did you pay us
double our wages?

Because I will not be able
to pay you in the future.

All of you are dismissed.

Madam? Dismissed?

I will stay somewhere else
and not be able to afford all this.

If you want, we are ready to go with you.

You don't have to pay us any money.

I have only been defeated, not broken.

Grandma...

Grandma, look!
What has happened to the bird?

- Rupali, take a look.
- Yes, ma'am.

Will this heal the wound, Grandma?

It is a small wound,
it will heal in a few days

and it will fly again.

Yes?

I have an arrest warrant.

I have orders to arrest
and imprison Mrs. Gandhi.

Who allowed you in?

Who let you in?

But this is wrong, madam.

Just because they are in a position
of power, they want revenge.

They want to prove you wrong and...

I will not allow this. You can't--

In politics, there is only one wrong...

that is, getting defeated.

- Please.
- Let's go.

Indira Gandhi,
why did you declare an Emergency?

Why did you bring the country
to a standstill?

- Ma'am, answer us.
- You've turned the country into a jail!

Move aside, let the car pass. Move back!

The country is calling you a traitor.
What do you have to say?

Are you resigning, madam?

Did anyone ask you to do this? Answer us.

Down with Indira Gandhi!

- Let madam go.
- Tell us. Will you resign?

You will rot in hell.
Leave the country, traitor!

- Move back!
- We won't tolerate your dictatorship!

Throw her out!

We curse you!

- Move back, madam.
- We won't tolerate your politics!

She has destroyed my entire family.
She is a witch!

Leave India. We curse you, you witch!

Who gave you the right
to declare an Emergency?

- We want justice.
- Down with Indira Gandhi!

Resign, Indira Gandhi.

May you rot in hell, Indira Gandhi.

- Hang her.
- Hand her over to us.

Mr. Zail Singh,

Punjab is crucial for the party
to make a major comeback.

Mr. Sanjay, the Akalis have got majority
and formed the government in Punjab.

They are also setting up
an inquiry against me.

In order to fight against
these arrogant Akalis,

we will also put someone up.

Long live!

1977. FEROZEPUR, PUNJAB

- Long live...
- Long live...

Who secured my bail?

Your spirit and demeanor
will be of much use to us.

You know exactly
what our party needs right now.

I know exactly what you want.

26th DECEMBER, 1978

- Namaste, madam.
- Namaste.

Namaste, ma'am.

Please come.

Mr. Dhawan, let's go to the airport.

Airport?

Okay, ma'am.

Indira Gandhi...

- You know her, right?
- Everyone does.

Little girl...

Please forgive me.

When a person truly repents their actions,

it is nothing short of a rebirth.

This country gave you

the most powerful position.

It is your turn now.

I have been defeated.

We feel that the purpose of life
lies only in our gains.

For once,

try losing everything
that you have gained, for this country...

you will be free.

Mother Indira...

Mother Indira!

Please help us, Mother Indira.

The people in my village
haven't eaten in days.

Our village is suffering from
a terrible famine these past two years.

What's going on?

We are selling our produce to him.

Lower your gaze.

Sir, we've finally been able to grow crops
after two years.

Please give us permission
to sell our crop.

Who will pay the debt of these two years?

Shoot them!

Please save us.

Which village?

Belchhi.

My country, you are the very essence
Of my pride

My country, you are my sanctuary

I'll readily sacrifice my life for you

You are dearer to me than my own life

Stop.

This road is closed.

This is a wild elephant corridor.

You can't take the car any further.

This is the ex-Prime Minister's car.

It is very important
that she reaches Belchhi.

I'm sorry
but you can't take the car any further.

You will need permission
from the government for the same.

And which government are you referring to?

Mr. Jay Prakash has quit politics,

and the others are too busy
fighting amongst themselves.

- This excuse of yours--
- Mr. Dhawan...

My country, you are the very essence
Of my pride

My country, you are my sanctuary

I'll readily sacrifice my life for you

You are dearer to me than my own life

You're the happiness
That I have longed for

You're all that I have ever dreamt of

Many distant realms have beckoned me, but

You're the sole ember
That ignites my passion

You're my ever-flowing river
And my steadfast shore

You are dearer to me than my own life

Look...

My country, you are the very essence
Of my pride

My country, you are my sanctuary

I'll readily sacrifice my life for you

You are dearer to me than my own life

Ms. Indira!

Easy.

Ms. Indira hasn't eaten in two days...

- But I don't have any food--
- Ma.

I have some saved. I'll get it.

Please forgive me.
I have nothing to offer you.

This small piece won't be enough for you.

If he eats the other half,
it'll be enough for me.

Sister...

I won't be able to bring your sons back,

but I can share your grief
and give you my love.

Indira Gandhi...

you didn't get votes or respect from us,

yet you travelled so far for us...

The person we voted for
hasn't bothered about us.

I swear on Mother Earth...

We'll go hungry, but we'll bring
Indira back to power!

We'll go hungry, but we'll bring
Indira back to power...

We'll go hungry, but we'll bring
Indira back to power!

We'll go hungry, but we'll bring
Indira back to power...

Prime Minister Mr. Charan Singh
has resigned today.

He was disturbed by the internal problems
that the party is facing.

He was also displeased at the
importance being given to Mr. Devi Lal.

This is like a game of musical chair...

they all come and go.

Choose a government that has the guts
to take hard decisions on your behalf,

a strong government.

- Hail Indira Gandhi.
- Hail Indira Gandhi.

Hail Indira Gandhi...

Hail Indira Gandhi!

I, Indira Gandhi,
swear in the name of God

that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the Constitution.

I, Indira Gandhi, will uphold
the sovereignty and integrity of India,

and that I will faithfully
and conscientiously discharge

my duties as the Prime Minister of India.

Congratulations, madam.

- Congratulations, madam.
- Heartiest congratulations.

Mummy!

Mummy...

I've been trying to meet you,
why aren't you giving me time?

Speak to Mr. Dhawan.

Dhawan, I need a meeting with Mummy.

I'm trying my best.

Dhawan, don't play games with me.

Don't try to put an end
to my political career.

Do you understand?

I don't think you need any help with that.

The Youth Congress
has become demotivated.

Why wasn't Sanjay declared a candidate

for the Chief Minister's post
in Uttar Pradesh?

Any other post would also do.

Sanjay, you should know,

people are saying that you're being
distanced from the party.

Sanjay, your mother is painting you
as the villain of the Emergency.

And I don't think
this is good for your image.

I've been trying to meet you,
why aren't you giving me time?

Speak to Mr. Dhawan.

I need a meeting with Mummy.

Dhawan, don't try to put an end
to my political career.

Do you understand?

I don't think
you need any help with that.

Sanjay, you should know,

people are saying that you're being
distanced from the party.

Sanjay, your mother is painting you
as the villain of the Emergency.

Others might look at flying an airplane
as a job...

but for me, it gives me a high.

There is a natural thrill in flying, sir.

But sometimes,
the thrill lies in aerobatics.

Right, sir?

Let me show you some.

Wow, sir! You're too good!
You're amazing, sir!

Now see this.

Wow, sir! What aerobatics! Amazing!

What are you doing, sir?

- Subhash, pull up.
- Take the control. We're losing control!

- Do something, sir...
- The plane is going down.

Subhash, pull up!

Please come, madam.

Wait here.

Indu...

Indu.

Namaste, madam.

Indira ma'am, you have our support
during this sad hour.

Sad hour?

For whom?

Indu...

You should cry.

You haven't shed a tear.

When Father passed away...

I didn't cry.

Even when Feroze passed,

I didn't cry.

I have a lot of responsibilities.

To watch your child being cremated...
Indu--

After I die, don't pour my ashes
into the River Ganges...

I am scared of these deep rivers.

Scatter my ashes
on the Himalayan mountains.

I love the mountains.

Don't say such things, Indu.

Let's go out.

Let's go for a drive.

Come, let's get some fresh air.

Is there a festival today?

What are you celebrating?

That man is dead... that monster!

Who?

Sanjay Gandhi!

Play the drums louder!

Play loudly, it's a happy occasion.

- Let's go. Drive.
- Yes.

Rakesh Sharma,
a former pilot with the Air Force,

is flying in Soyuz T-11.

He is the only Indian among the cosmonauts
who have been sent to space.

Squadron leader Rakesh Sharma,

I have many questions...

but I will ask only a few.

How does India look from space?

I can say without any hesitation,
the best in the world.

5th OCTOBER 1984, DHILWAN KALAN, PUNJAB

Stop the bus! Stop it!

No!

It has become a habit of theirs

to blame innocent Sikh boys
for every incident.

Whether it is the murder of Nirankari Baba

or the killing
of a biased newspaper editor

who tries to create a rift
within our Sikh community...

I am the one who gets blamed.

To all those who feel that I am a puppet,

I will prove my truth to them.

What do you mean by you don't know
how to deal with them?

They should be treated
in the manner they deserve.

Hiding inside a temple
doesn't make him God.

But, madam,
a large number of people in Punjab

have been brainwashed
into thinking of him as God.

Under him, various movements
have gained momentum in Punjab.

And you've chosen the day of a festival,
for the operation.

You might have to suffer the repercussion,
Prime Minister.

In order for things to come together,
some things need to fall apart.

At this hour, it is important to bring
the people of the country together.

Else this country will fall apart.

What do we name this operation?

Blue Star.

Operation Blue Star.

Indian security forces commenced
Operation Blue Star.

A variety of army units
and parliamentary forces

surrounded the Golden Temple
to remove Sikh militants

led by Damdami Taksal leader
Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

His followers and he are massing weapons
in the Harmandir Sahib complex

in Golden Temple, in Amritsar.

Today, Ramgarhia Bungas
inside the Harmandir Sahib complex

was also bombed.

After the rally at Bhubaneswar,

you are scheduled to meet
the Chief Minister and the Governor.

After that you have a discussion on
carbonic fertilizers with women farmers.

Tomorrow?

You have a documentary shoot with
Mr. Peter Ustinov in the front office.

- Take care of this.
- And then dinner with Princess Anne.

- Let's go.
- Yes.

Madam, I have an important matter
to discuss with you.

- Please excuse us.
- Yes, madam.

Ma'am, you have many Sikh
as your security guards.

We can't take a chance
after Operation Blue Star.

That's why I'm dismissing them
from your security.

Dhawan, to ensure my security,

I can't separate the Sikh community
from the rest of the population of India.

31st OCTOBER, 1984.
INDIRA GANDHI'S RESIDENCE

Describing his love, a poet once wrote...

"How can I not feel proud...

when I'm blessed with your love?"

It's natural to be proud
of being an Indian.

And I'm a child of India's
independence struggle...

Since childhood, India has been
my only love, my only passion.

When this love turned into obsession...

I didn't realize.

I want every drop of my blood
to be of service to this country.

Indira can go...

but India...

must go on.

I yearn to lose myself
In your gentle breeze

I don't seek to be the sun or moon
But the soil of my country

You, my country, are the purpose
That keeps me alive

And in your embrace,
I yearn to find my final rest

Your beauty is all that
I ever want to behold

You are dearer to me than my own life

My country, you are the very essence
Of my pride

My country, you are my sanctuary

I'll readily sacrifice my life for you

You are dearer to me than my own life

Rakesh Sharma was right...

India is the best in the world.
