00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:06,705
a company. The British East lndia Company
26
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:11,849
The most successful business enterprise
in history
27
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:17,116
The Company has its own laws,

Sepoy, 34th Regiment,
Native lnfantry at Barrackpore
33
00:05:52,618 --> 00:05:55,109
You have been found guilty of
mutiny and conspiracy...
34
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,882
to overthrow the government of the
Honourable East lndia Company,
35
00:05:59,158 --> 00:06:00,682
by a duly constituted court martial
36
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:06,554
You have been sentenced to death
37
00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:14,236
Well come on, hurry up
38
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:19,637
Mangal Pandey, do you have a last wish ?
39
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:25,982
You cannot grant my last wish
40
00:06:27,787 --> 00:06:29,550
Yet it will be fulfilled
41
00:06:31,357 --> 00:06:32,517
Time's up. Hang him
42
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,920
Sir, the hangman...
43
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,394
he ran away
44
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:45,135
Yes sir, he refused to hang
Mangal Pandey
45
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:49,907
We tried to persuade him, threaten him
but... but he ran away, sir
46
00:06:50,443 --> 00:06:51,740
Christ ! This is nonsense
47
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,375
You... you hang him
48
00:06:56,115 --> 00:06:57,412
That's not my duty, sir
49
00:06:57,984 --> 00:07:00,851
Damn your duty, it's an order !
Move !
50
00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:08,216
l'm a Brahmin, sir. lt's against my faith
51
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:12,659
Send a message to Calcutta and
get another hangman
52
00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:15,095
Until then, take him down
53
00:07:17,136 --> 00:07:18,034
Take him down
54
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:59,001
The Earth will be scorched
55
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:01,544
Rivers of blood will flow

00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:03,779
Millions will die
57
00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:07,281
And l, William Gordon...
58
00:08:08,054 --> 00:08:12,013

59
00:08:18,564 --> 00:08:21,931
4 Years earlier,
on the mountains of Afghanistan

00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:33,907
Fire

00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:56,895

You did well, Captain
65
00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:55,319
The Afghans are on the run
and we hold the pass
66
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,286
Pandey...
67
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,461
Gordon sir... no
68
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:08,057
Let him be
69
00:11:12,371 --> 00:11:13,531
Captain Gordon
70
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:26,743
William, are you all right ?
71
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,375
No don't... lie down
72
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,551

73
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:11,196
l want you to have my pistol
74
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:15,028
l've got nothing else to give you
75
00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:18,269
Please
76
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:18,937
Take it
77
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:38,818

New Year celebrations at

80
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,455
Who's that ?
81
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:16,284
Lord Canning... Governor General.
- Not him, you fool
82
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:19,325
l mean, the chap next to him
83
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:22,365
Mr Lockwood, the Company auditor...
84
00:13:22,568 --> 00:13:26,129
sent by London to investigate all the
monkey business going on in the Company
85
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:28,999
And next to him is Mr Kent
86
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:32,203
Bigtime trader
87
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:36,177
Some of the top Company officers
are on his payroll
88
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:49,118
My lords, ladies, and gentlemen...
89
00:13:49,361 --> 00:13:50,191
pray silence for...
90
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:52,523
His Excellency Lord Canning...
91
00:13:52,898 --> 00:13:54,798
Governor General of lndia
92
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:02,434
My lords, ladies and gentlemen...
93
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:07,237
as a servant of the
Honourable East lndia Company...
94
00:14:07,746 --> 00:14:10,180
that has ruled the territories of Hindoostan...
95
00:14:10,382 --> 00:14:11,849
for a hundred years...
96
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:17,287
l must profess pride and an equal humility
97
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:19,991
lt is my privilege to recall...
98
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:23,986
that our forebears came
to these territories as traders
99
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:27,331
And we now find ourselves,
by the will of God...
100
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:33,806
masters of the entire lndian subcontinent
from Khyber to Comorin
101
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:37,340
What did he say ?
102
00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:40,170
The Company Raj completes
100 years in lndia
103
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:41,812
From traders they became rulers
104
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,617
My god ! What is she wearing ?
105
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:58,018
And we bring to lndia the benefits
of modern governance...
106
00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:00,822
scientific progress, and, above all...
107
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:02,698
justice
108
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:06,998
Has he mentioned the Queen yet ?
- No. He says they're doing us a favor
109
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:12,439
We have earned the love and
gratitude of the people of lndia
110
00:15:12,878 --> 00:15:17,474
And we shoulder the burden of the
white man without complaint
111
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:19,150
Now...? - No
112
00:15:19,351 --> 00:15:21,785
He says, we lndians are
grateful to them !
113
00:15:21,987 --> 00:15:28,893
Now l call upon you to join with me
as l propose the loyal toast

00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:33,990
Your mother must be turning in her grave !
Shame on you, Emily
115
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:37,965
Looking like a nautch girl!
- Do l look like a real nautch girl ?
116
00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:40,798
Captain Hewson, you must know
117
00:15:42,641 --> 00:15:47,840
l am unfamiliar with the detail of the
attire of dancing girls
118
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:51,274
Ms Kent, the costume is perfect
119
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:53,584
Any nautch girl in lndia would
blush with envy
120
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:56,380
You keep the company of nautch girls,
Captain Gordon ?
121
00:15:56,588 --> 00:15:58,556
l pursue beauty wherever l can find it
122

The queen
124
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:06,721
The Queen... to the Queen
125
00:16:10,269 --> 00:16:11,258
Oh ! So sorry !
126
00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:12,504
You black bastard
127
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:14,470
What the hell are you upto ?
128
00:16:28,954 --> 00:16:30,251
Sir, sorry sir. Please...
129
00:16:30,622 --> 00:16:32,317
You, lift him
130
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,052
Hewson, that's enough
131
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:40,330
l'll teach you to touch a
white woman you black dog !
132
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:42,189
Forgive me sir, it was an accident
133
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:49,466
Enough sahib
134
00:16:52,644 --> 00:16:53,303
Enough
135
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,977
The black dog will die
136
00:17:03,455 --> 00:17:06,481
Miss Kent... on behalf of...
- lt's not to me that you owe the apology
137
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:07,556
Come inside
138
00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:45,152
Pull the fan
139
00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:47,723
Faster
140
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:50,199
Harder, damn you
141
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:56,571
Kamla !
142
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:15,618
Oh god, one push into her paradise...
143
00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:19,954
and l'll pull your fan in hell forever
144
00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:29,035
The quartermaster showed
Gordon the new Enfield rifle...
145
00:18:29,641 --> 00:18:32,269
that the Company was going
to introduce in lndia
146
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:33,608
Absolute beauties...
147
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:35,345
And speaking of beauties...
148
00:18:35,647 --> 00:18:39,048
l saw you appreciating
Ms.Kent in a sari
149
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,253
Me... On the Company's pay?
150
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:43,919
Ah! But Kent is filthy rich
151
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:50,693
Vultures and merchants of arms.
The only ones to profit from wars, yes!
152
00:18:58,170 --> 00:19:02,197
Amazing ! The Company has connected
the entire country through wires
153
00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:04,509
ln a blink of an eyelid messages travel
from Calcutta to Delhi
154
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:07,008
Nonsense ! lmpossible !
155
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:11,012
lt's got to be true ! lt's in the newspaper !
156
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:14,014
But how can messages get into wires ?
157
00:19:14,386 --> 00:19:18,447
l'll tell you. Easy ! These whites have
mastered black magic
158
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:22,225
Yeah ! Must've used a witch's hair
159
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:25,659
Yes and it's got an odd name too
... taelly - garaffe
160
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:28,196
What ? Wow ! That sounds scary
161
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,667
You bet your ass ! We're all
in for a jolly ride now
162
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:40,034
Coming... coming...
163
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:45,714

00:19:46,251 --> 00:19:56,058
Here we are, l know you're hungry
165
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:03,327
You're dry
166
00:20:04,436 --> 00:20:06,461
That white woman's baby
has sucked you dry
167
00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:08,566
What's left for him ?
168
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:16,407
Here, use this on your nipple,
it'll make him sleep
169
00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:19,250
Don't you dare give opium to my baby
170
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:26,918
Hey, hey my baby, my love,
why are you crying ?
171
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:29,252
Why are you crying?
172
00:20:30,128 --> 00:20:31,595
Hush now, aren't you the son of a warrior ?
173
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:35,498
Why is he always crying ?
174
00:20:36,301 --> 00:20:37,768
No nothing, it's just colic
175
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:40,768
Come on Veeru, we're late for the pit
176
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:42,099
Coming, coming
177
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,437
Come on, get him !

Scissor-throw ! Give him the
scissor-throw !

Where's Mangal ? - ln the wrestling pit, sir

00:21:31,523 --> 00:21:32,649
Captain sahib...
181
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:36,760
want to try your strength
against a black man ?
182
00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:54,007
Uh-oh, he's had it now !
183
00:21:59,718 --> 00:22:03,017
Bravo Captain sahib, way to go !
184
00:22:03,221 --> 00:22:07,521
Come on Mangal, don't spare him !
185
00:22:22,407 --> 00:22:23,704
Why didn't you come today ?
186
00:22:26,578 --> 00:22:27,203
Tell me
187
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:29,710
l was angry
188
00:22:36,254 --> 00:22:37,221
Angry ? Why ?
189
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:39,554
Hewson was killing that man...
190
00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:43,053
and you did nothing
191
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:51,900
What was l supposed to do ? Stand between
a fellow officer and a...
192
00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:57,234
And a black dog !
193
00:22:57,442 --> 00:22:59,069
Say it ... say it !
194
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:06,309
You don't understand
195
00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:09,420
l've spent half my life here,
the best part of my life !
196
00:23:09,621 --> 00:23:12,249
What have l got to go back to ?
197
00:23:12,457 --> 00:23:13,685
You still did nothing
198
00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:24,928
You're right, l should've stopped him
from whipping any black dog
199
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,267
l'm sorry, all right ?
200
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:30,433
All right ?
201
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:33,774
Now... are you still angry
with me huh ? Huh ?
202
00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,105
All right, no... no
203
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:38,615
l'm beaten. You're forgiven
204
00:23:47,159 --> 00:23:53,120
Bhang, my friend, elixir of the gods,
is Lord Shiva's favoured potion
205
00:23:54,666 --> 00:24:02,300
Come on Mangal, have some bhang,
liven your spirits
206
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:06,967
Want to have some bhang, sahib ?
- Er... bhang ? Doesn't it, you know...
207
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,977
Don't worry, it doesn't bite or scold.
lt's like a good mother
208
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:12,810
Strokes you, sings you lullabies
tells you stories...
209
00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:16,647
and kisses you to sleep.
- Well, l'll have to try some of that
210
00:24:17,022 --> 00:24:18,990
Because my mother certainly
never did any of that
211
00:24:26,198 --> 00:24:33,229
Easy sahib, easy. You don't want two
stepmothers quarrelling in your head
212
00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:40,504
Ration and roti, the Company's pay
213
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:43,840
Give us your life for a shilling a day
214
00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:46,847
Shilling a day boys, a shilling a day
215
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,919
While the boom of the cannon
may blow you away !
216
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:24,713
Mangal... that's Hewson's horse
217
00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:25,548
Come on
218
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:17,096
Bastards ! Which bastard did this ?
219
00:26:58,683 --> 00:27:00,651
My silly heart can't contain its
excitement...
220
00:27:00,852 --> 00:27:04,811
when everything gets going for
a nobody like me
221
00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:06,820
May Lord Ram bless you, Mangal
222
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:07,821
Ram - Ram
223
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:13,330
AsSalaamu Alaykum Mirza sahib.
-- Ram - Ram, Mangal
224
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:14,657
All well ?
225
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:19,163
Oye ! You cockeyed fool !
Can't you see ?
226
00:27:19,371 --> 00:27:23,330
A twisted rope is strongest,
a twisted eyesight, deepest
227
00:27:23,541 --> 00:27:26,169
Don't touch me, you scoundrel.
You want to defile a Brahmin ?
228
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:30,178
Come on, we're all untouchables now.
The Company reigns. All trash is equal
229
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:33,351
Mind your tongue, you dog.
- Dog ? Me ?
230
00:27:33,718 --> 00:27:36,516
Who barks to guard the Company's loot ?
You or me ?
231
00:27:36,721 --> 00:27:38,348
Oh ! You deserve a thrashing, wait
232
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:41,855
And who wags his tail for the white man ?
You or me ?
233
00:27:42,227 --> 00:27:45,025
And who's going to bite the new
cartridge dipped in animal fat ?
234
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:48,864
Animal fat ? - Yes. Cow and pig fat
235
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:50,864
That's used to grease the new cartridge
236
00:27:51,569 --> 00:27:57,701
lnto the mouth... bite... fire ... boom !
Go straight to hell
237
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:02,540
Boom goes your faith, boom
goes your honour
238
00:28:03,581 --> 00:28:04,172
Shut up, liar !
239
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:16,560
Silence
240
00:28:19,097 --> 00:28:20,394
This is no fish market
241
00:28:20,932 --> 00:28:22,160
Let one man speak
242
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:28,571
Mangal Pandey. Sepoy, 5th Company.
34th Native lnfantry Regiment
243
00:28:28,773 --> 00:28:30,400
34th eh ? At ease
244
00:28:30,942 --> 00:28:31,636
What is it ?
245
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:35,408
Sir, we hear that the cartridge of
the new rifle is greased...
246
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:39,238
and must be bitten before loading.
- And what of it ?
247
00:28:39,684 --> 00:28:43,176
Sir, the grease coating is
made of cow and pig fat
248
00:28:43,955 --> 00:28:47,254
The cow is sacred to the Hindus,
the pig forbidden to the Muslims
249
00:28:48,126 --> 00:28:51,425
We can't touch such a cartridge.
lt is sacrilege
250
00:28:51,629 --> 00:28:52,926
Who is spreading this rot ?
251
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:55,593
The news is all over, sir
252
00:28:56,134 --> 00:28:58,762
Nonsense ! No truth to it, my man
253
00:28:59,137 --> 00:29:02,800
Hasn't the Company always
cared for you ?
254
00:29:05,310 --> 00:29:10,373
Now don't worry and go home.
Some mischief-monger is misleading you
255
00:29:10,815 --> 00:29:15,616
There is no such cartridge.
There will be no such cartridge
256
00:29:18,156 --> 00:29:19,020
Dismissed
257
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:23,624

at a throwaway price
288
00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:08,395
Buy yourself a slave...
289
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,400
Look at this beauty, check out
her curves
290
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:14,071
Slave or servant...
291
00:31:14,272 --> 00:31:15,569

292
00:31:15,773 --> 00:31:17,400

Fifteen
297
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:35,423
Emily was surprised that though slavery
was abolished in Britain...
298
00:31:35,627 --> 00:31:38,528
the Company allowed it in lndia.
299
00:31:38,796 --> 00:31:42,596
Gordon explained that the Company
itself bought these girls...
300
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600
for the pleasure of white soldiers lt helped
prevent the spread of disease in the army
301
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:47,930
l have a gem here
302
00:31:48,139 --> 00:31:50,266
Let me show you
303
00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:52,340
Hands off, you pimp !
304
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:55,445
Bloody bitch !
305
00:31:58,316 --> 00:32:00,784
Don't mess with me
306
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:04,618
She's a spirited mare eh ?
307
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:08,451
Just waiting to be reined in
308
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,788
So who's going to be the lucky man ?
Come on, let's hear it
309
00:32:11,996 --> 00:32:12,792
Sixty Rupees
310
00:32:13,131 --> 00:32:14,063
l think l've seen enough
311
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:18,465
Seventy
312
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:19,637
Eighty Rupees
313
00:32:19,837 --> 00:32:21,304
That's better, eighty
314
00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:22,700
Anyone else ?
315
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:30,038
Quick ! Or this meat will go to the whites
and you'll be left ogling
316
00:32:31,015 --> 00:32:34,143
Wow, what eyes...
317
00:32:34,352 --> 00:32:37,719
the entire Company Raj could
drown in them
318
00:32:38,856 --> 00:32:40,323
What's your name ?
319
00:32:42,193 --> 00:32:45,162
Come on stand up... up
320
00:32:45,363 --> 00:32:46,921
Let's get a look at you
321
00:32:49,534 --> 00:32:50,660
Turn around
322
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,506
Packaging seems all right
323
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,509
All right?! By God she's a gem,
a real diamond
324
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:06,183
Okay then, let's call her that.
Heera (Diamond)
325
00:33:06,551 --> 00:33:08,610
But she needs polishing
326
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:13,615
Get one thing straight, girl,
l am Lol Bibi
327
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:17,088
And l'm the boss here
328
00:33:17,395 --> 00:33:22,196
Many trinkets like you decorate my shoes.
Got that ?
329
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,034
And one more thing...
330
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:28,862
this is a pleasure house
exclusively for the whites
331
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,367
You'll have to work very hard
332
00:33:31,576 --> 00:33:38,345
Men aren't easy to please,
no matter what their colour
333
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:42,212
That's true ! Ask me, l have suffered
all the various shades !
334
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:54,554
One of the Company's biggest trades
was that of opium.
335
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:01,732
lt forced lndian farmers to grow it,
bought it from them at a pittance...
336
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:05,466
and sold it in China at a profit.
337
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:08,237
When the Chinese Emperor resisted...
338
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:11,244
the Company waged a war against him.
339
00:34:12,116 --> 00:34:15,244
To fight and die, lndian sepoys
were there after all.
340
00:34:15,787 --> 00:34:18,415
And they called it the Free Market.
341
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:21,122
Captain Gordan,
You were meant to be singing too...
342
00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:23,624
l'm afraid l'm unfamiliar with the song.
343
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:26,389
Not know it ?
What are you, some sort of a pagan ?
344
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:29,597
Didn't they thrash it
into you in school ?
345
00:34:30,301 --> 00:34:31,063
No sir.
346
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:33,098
They should've.
Which school did you attend ?
347
00:34:33,237 --> 00:34:35,797
Let me guess,
it wasn't Marlborough or Rugby ?
348
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:42,041
No sir, my family are Catholics,
from Glasgow. l went to parish school
349
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:46,673
A papist ! Come to think of it,
l haven't seen you at church.
350
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,546
l must have imagined you were
with your famous nautch girls.
351
00:34:55,493 --> 00:34:59,554
Aren't they beautiful ?
l picked them on our ride this evening
352
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:03,631
Ah, you must have ridden out
in the direction of Kashigunj ?
353
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:07,635
Yes, l was astounded.
Acres of bright red poppies
354
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:10,669
Are they part of some religious ritual ?
355
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:12,499
No, no. lt's Company land.
356
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:14,935
Why does the Company grow poppies ?
357
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:21,311
The poppy, Miss Kent
is the sole source of opium
358
00:35:21,986 --> 00:35:25,649
The Honourable East lndia Company
forces lndian farmers to grow them
359
00:35:26,557 --> 00:35:30,357
Opium ?
- lndeed. Most of it is bought up...
360
00:35:30,561 --> 00:35:33,655
by the Company at prices fixed by them.
And then shipped to China...
361
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:36,392
to help turn an entire nation
into opium addicts
362
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:37,726
But why ?
363
00:35:38,402 --> 00:35:39,960
lt's the only thing
we can sell the Chinese...
364
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:43,164
in return for the tea and silks
that we Europeans are addicted to
365
00:35:43,374 --> 00:35:46,673
l think Gordon, the ladies
ought to be spared this lecture
366
00:35:49,046 --> 00:35:53,176
But the Chinese Emperor resists,
he no longer wants to trade in opium
367
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:56,348
So the company decides to
wage a war against him
368
00:35:56,621 --> 00:36:00,352
And in this war it wants
lndian sepoys to fight and die
369
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:05,021
The circle is complete...
370
00:36:06,531 --> 00:36:08,021
and we call it the free market
371
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:13,763
You abuse my hospitality
372
00:36:14,906 --> 00:36:17,374
lf l have spoken out of turn sir,
l apologise
373
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,910
After all l'm just a common soldier
374
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:24,907
lt's a subject
you'd know more about than l
375
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:34,718
When Kent humiliated Gordon about his
humble beginnings...
376
00:36:35,092 --> 00:36:37,617
Gordon couldn't stand for it.
377
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:42,398
William... l'm so sorry
- Emily, there's no need
378
00:36:49,774 --> 00:36:57,647
Gordon liked Emily, but realized that
he did not belong in this elite circle.
379
00:36:58,783 --> 00:37:02,981
When traders become rulers then
the common man pays the price
380
00:37:06,624 --> 00:37:10,253
But now Nana Saheb will make
the Company pay
381
00:37:10,461 --> 00:37:12,258
Really ? How ?
382
00:37:12,463 --> 00:37:15,591
His minister, Azimullah, has returned from
England with Queen Victoria's letter...
383
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,260
which clearly states that Nana Saheb is
right and the Company is wrong
384
00:37:20,471 --> 00:37:26,103
Futile. Nana Saheb has only a letter
while the Company has guns
385
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:29,939
But sir, the gun is a treacherous lover,
386
00:37:30,147 --> 00:37:32,945
there's no telling whom she'll set
her sights upon !
387
00:37:52,336 --> 00:37:53,132
What's up ?
388
00:37:58,342 --> 00:37:59,639
What the bloody hell is going on ?
389
00:37:59,844 --> 00:38:02,904
Broken axle, sir. Two boxes of cartridges
have fallen down
390
00:38:24,535 --> 00:38:26,264
The new Enfield...
391
00:38:27,038 --> 00:38:30,405
is the best rifle in the world
392
00:38:32,209 --> 00:38:37,670
lt will feel no different to your musket
393
00:38:38,382 --> 00:38:39,849
A bit lighter
394
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:47,423
Accurate to a thousand yards,
395
00:38:48,059 --> 00:38:51,756
five times the range of your
old Brown Bess
396
00:38:52,229 --> 00:38:59,635
And now, the new cartridge.
lt consists of gunpowder and a lead
397
00:39:01,238 --> 00:39:05,436
You pick up the cartridge and
bite the end off, like so
398
00:39:10,414 --> 00:39:13,110
You pour the gunpowder in,
399
00:39:14,919 --> 00:39:16,887
followed by the lead
400
00:39:17,588 --> 00:39:18,885
And then...
401
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:21,650
you ram the Johnny down.
Ram it down, tight
402
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:24,318
Then you're ready to fire
403
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:33,900
You... try
404
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:35,670
You... and you
405
00:39:38,943 --> 00:39:40,911
Come on lads, look lively
406
00:39:43,614 --> 00:39:47,072
Come on, it won't bark back
407
00:39:48,953 --> 00:39:50,750
Corporal...
408
00:39:50,955 --> 00:39:52,752
Yes sir ? - What is the matter ?
409
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:56,085
The grease, sir. We cannot put
the grease in our mouth
410
00:39:56,293 --> 00:40:00,252
Then where will you put it, man ?
Come on, be sensible
411
00:40:09,807 --> 00:40:10,831
What's the matter, Captain ?
412
00:40:10,941 --> 00:40:11,703
lt's the cartridges, sir.
413
00:40:12,209 --> 00:40:14,871
The sepoys say they saw dogs
licking grease off them in the bazaar
414
00:40:14,979 --> 00:40:15,775
They saw what ?
415
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,907
Dogs, licking the new cartridges
416
00:40:18,382 --> 00:40:21,283
The men believe they've been greased
with the fat of pigs and cows, sir
417
00:40:21,685 --> 00:40:22,617
And are they ?
418
00:40:22,887 --> 00:40:25,287
The Company's supplier, sir.
l checked with him. And he assured me...
419
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:26,617
there was no truth to it
420
00:40:26,991 --> 00:40:29,789
There you are, Captain White man's word.
Knock the superstition out of them
421
00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:32,824
Still sir, shouldn't we be careful ?
- You heard me, Captain
422
00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:37,058
The Quartermaster claimed that
the cartridges were clean.
423
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:40,629
A white man's word was good
enough for the general.
424
00:40:41,005 --> 00:40:47,535
He ordered Gordon to set
the soldiers' fears to rest.
425
00:40:51,348 --> 00:40:57,218
The Company respects all religions
and will never break faith
426
00:40:59,023 --> 00:41:04,825
And l, as an officer of the Company
give you my word...
427
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:09,662
that this cartridge is greased with
neither the fat of pigs or cows
428
00:41:12,203 --> 00:41:18,438
Will a loyal sepoy please step forward
and volunteer to fire the gun.
429
00:42:31,782 --> 00:42:34,580
What am l supposed to tell him now ?
He has already done what he had to
430
00:42:34,785 --> 00:42:36,252
We can't let this pass.
We must confront him with this
431
00:42:36,453 --> 00:42:40,253
You think he'll listen to us ?
- Here he comes. Talk to him
432
00:42:40,457 --> 00:42:43,756
Aye Mangal, why did you
bite the bullet ?
433
00:42:43,961 --> 00:42:47,920
You're an outcaste now.
You'll pay for it.
434
00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:50,760
Just because you speak a little English,
you think you're a bloody white man ?
435
00:42:50,968 --> 00:42:52,936
Now because of you,
they'll force us as well
436
00:42:53,137 --> 00:42:54,331
Shut your miserable mouths
437
00:42:55,472 --> 00:43:00,273
Gordon sahib said they're clean.
That's enough for me.
438
00:43:00,477 --> 00:43:02,206
And what if Gordon sahib is lying ?
439
00:43:03,147 --> 00:43:04,944
Gordon sahib will never lie to me
440
00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:09,210
That's fine, but what if the cartridge-story
turns out to be true ?
441
00:43:11,488 --> 00:43:13,456
Then l'll burn the company down
442
00:43:14,658 --> 00:43:15,352
Now scram !
443
00:43:16,327 --> 00:43:18,352
There. Look at that attitude
444
00:43:34,845 --> 00:43:36,369
Gordon sahib, Will you tell me something?
445
00:43:36,914 --> 00:43:40,179
Yes, Why not?
446
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,812
What is the Company?
447
00:43:45,189 --> 00:43:46,383
Why do you ask ?
448
00:43:47,691 --> 00:43:48,919
l need to know
449
00:43:49,693 --> 00:43:50,591
Company...?
450
00:43:53,364 --> 00:44:00,998
A Company is an entity created entirely
for the purpose of making a profit
451
00:44:01,872 --> 00:44:04,500
And what does it do ?
- What does it do !
452
00:44:05,042 --> 00:44:10,002
Well it buys and sells, anything.
lndigo, spices, opium
453
00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:13,411
Love, honour, truth... anything
454
00:44:14,385 --> 00:44:22,520
Yes but... who is the Company ?
455
00:44:30,067 --> 00:44:31,625
ln your story of the Ramayan...
456
00:44:32,236 --> 00:44:36,536
you have a character Ravana.
The chap with ten heads, right ?
457
00:44:39,243 --> 00:44:43,111
Well, the Company has thousands of heads...
458
00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:48,540
all stuck together with the glue of greed.
You understand ?
459
00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:02,330
Hey, is that a Sati ?
460
00:45:02,766 --> 00:45:03,460
Come on
461
00:45:04,768 --> 00:45:07,794
Gordon sahib, l don't think we should.
- Come on, it's a Sati !
462
00:45:10,741 --> 00:45:14,837
Glory to woman who accompanies
her husband in death
463
00:45:15,045 --> 00:45:15,875
Glory be !
464
00:45:50,981 --> 00:45:51,948
Stop this
465
00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:59,182
l said, stop this immediately !
466
00:45:59,656 --> 00:46:00,452
Come here, come along
467
00:46:02,993 --> 00:46:06,451
Sahib, you better leave.
These are sacred ceremonies
468
00:46:06,663 --> 00:46:10,963
But Sati has been banned.
Burning a widow is a crime
469
00:46:11,168 --> 00:46:15,127
Captain sahib, don't interfere.
You're tampering with our ancient customs
470
00:46:15,339 --> 00:46:18,467
And you're tampering with my ancient custom.
l don't stand by and watch murder
471
00:46:18,675 --> 00:46:22,133
Return the woman.
Or you'll regret it
472
00:46:22,346 --> 00:46:24,974
You'll have to kill me first !
473
00:46:27,184 --> 00:46:28,082
Come on !
474
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:30,651
Get him !
475
00:46:31,355 --> 00:46:33,983
Lynch him
476
00:46:42,032 --> 00:46:46,560
Anybody who dares touch
the sahib is a dead man
477
00:46:55,879 --> 00:46:59,679
Sahib, save the girl !
l'll deal with these bastards
478
00:47:02,219 --> 00:47:03,846
Go sahib... go... go
479
00:47:33,584 --> 00:47:36,553
Oh God ! A Sati !
But she is alive !
480
00:47:36,753 --> 00:47:38,550
You're damn right she is !
481
00:47:38,755 --> 00:47:41,383
But they will come for her !
lt's a question of their honour
482
00:47:41,592 --> 00:47:46,495
Return her, sahib !
- No one will touch her !
483
00:47:46,763 --> 00:47:48,287
That's the law
484
00:47:59,443 --> 00:48:01,308
What are we going to do
with her, Mangal ?
485
00:48:02,212 --> 00:48:06,581
Her relatives will surely kill her.
She has nowhere to go
486
00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:32,397
Come out
487
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:34,639
Don't be afraid
488
00:48:36,146 --> 00:48:38,171
You're safe here
489
00:48:39,316 --> 00:48:40,783
No one will touch you
490
00:48:42,085 --> 00:48:42,847
Come
491
00:49:38,709 --> 00:49:40,904
How are you feeling ?
Did you sleep ?
492
00:49:44,147 --> 00:49:45,842
What's your name ?
493
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:54,088
l am going to work but don't worry...
494
00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:57,783
l have posted guards.
You'll be safe
495
00:49:57,995 --> 00:50:00,020
They will come... for me
496
00:50:00,964 --> 00:50:01,521
Who ?
497
00:50:02,566 --> 00:50:03,555
Relatives
498
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:08,934
My husband was a powerful man,
lord of a hundred villages
499
00:50:10,340 --> 00:50:15,801
l'm sorry you lost him.
Any children ?
500
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:22,448
No, he was very old.
Sixty, when he married me
501
00:50:23,253 --> 00:50:24,982
He had grown-up children
502
00:50:26,256 --> 00:50:27,746
He was very sick
503
00:50:28,425 --> 00:50:31,223
Sahib the village chieftain
has come to meet you
504
00:50:31,428 --> 00:50:32,759
He says it's important
505
00:50:33,530 --> 00:50:35,998
Go in... and don't worry
506
00:50:41,705 --> 00:50:47,075
Sahib, don't play with our honour
507
00:50:47,277 --> 00:50:48,244
What do you mean ?
508
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:52,811
Return the woman to us
509
00:50:53,183 --> 00:50:55,276
What ? So that you can kill her ?
510
00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:58,652
That is her destiny
511
00:50:58,855 --> 00:51:01,688
Not anymore
512
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:05,927
Don't involve yourself in matters
you don't understand
513
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:07,924
That will not be good for you
514
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:14,698
Are you threatening an officer of
the East lndia Company ?
515
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:18,203
You listen to me !
516
00:51:18,408 --> 00:51:19,602
You so much as set foot into
the Cantonment again,
517
00:51:19,810 --> 00:51:21,744
and l will shoot you !
You understand me ?
518
00:51:21,978 --> 00:51:23,843
Do you understand me ?
519
00:51:25,315 --> 00:51:26,304
Now get out
520
00:51:31,054 --> 00:51:34,751
ln the course of his investigations
into corruption in the Company...
521
00:51:34,991 --> 00:51:39,724
Lockwood raided the godown of
a Parsee merchant, Sorabjee.
522
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:40,855
Search the place
523
00:51:41,064 --> 00:51:42,292
There is no need for all that, Sir
524
00:51:42,499 --> 00:51:44,023
Search it. - lt is all legitimate
525
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:52,531
The search uncovered
stocks of opium.
526
00:51:52,742 --> 00:51:54,175
Sir, look at this
527
00:51:56,780 --> 00:51:59,578
Seal the stock, arrest this man.
- Sergeant-major...
528
00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:02,445
Mr Lockwood, you are a man
of high powers
529
00:52:02,686 --> 00:52:04,278
But you've been here only
a few days, sir
530
00:52:04,488 --> 00:52:07,423
You must try to understand
- Mr Sorabji you are aware...
531
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:10,422
that The East lndia Company has
a monopoly on the opium trade
532
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:13,926
lt is obvious, you have been indulging
in your own private dealings
533
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:17,692
Mr Lockwood, l am acquainted
with you British...
534
00:52:17,901 --> 00:52:21,064
and l have had dealings for years
with the Company officials
535
00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:25,241
l will be very proud to make you
part of our arrangements
536
00:52:25,408 --> 00:52:27,808
Are you offering to bribe me,
you blackguard !
537
00:52:28,178 --> 00:52:31,443
Sir, l have the deepest respect
for you as a gentleman
538
00:52:31,715 --> 00:52:34,548
l am simply trying to explain
how trade works in lndia
539
00:52:34,751 --> 00:52:37,219
lt could be beneficial to you.
- You mistake me sir
540
00:52:37,888 --> 00:52:41,756
l'm here to bury corruption, not fan it.
- Corruption is a strong word, sir
541
00:52:41,958 --> 00:52:44,791
lt is our custom, as lndians,
to give small gifts
542
00:52:45,061 --> 00:52:49,293
l must quieten your displeasure
and pay a fine. 300 pounds in gold?
543
00:52:49,499 --> 00:52:50,466
Damn your eyes !
544
00:52:50,867 --> 00:52:52,630
Three thousand pounds
545
00:52:53,470 --> 00:52:54,368
Now ?
546
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,037
Three.. thousand.. pounds !
547
00:52:59,242 --> 00:53:00,937
lndia is rich, sir
548
00:53:01,978 --> 00:53:06,711
Lockwood did not succumb to Sorabjee's
offer of a huge bribe.
549
00:53:07,250 --> 00:53:10,378
lnstead he forced Sorabjee to
name the villages...
550
00:53:10,587 --> 00:53:12,077
from which he bought the opium.
551
00:53:14,591 --> 00:53:17,617
Every man is reminded...
552
00:53:17,827 --> 00:53:19,954
that growing, buying or
selling opium...
553
00:53:20,764 --> 00:53:25,098
without the permission
of the Company...
554
00:53:25,302 --> 00:53:26,735
is illegal and punishable
555
00:53:26,937 --> 00:53:28,996
You have broken the law
556
00:53:29,206 --> 00:53:32,232
Therefore by the order of
the Collector and Magistrate...
557
00:53:32,442 --> 00:53:38,847
your land and property is
hereby confiscated !
558
00:53:39,049 --> 00:53:40,676
But how are we to blame ?
559
00:53:41,017 --> 00:53:45,147
White sahibs tell us to grow, we grow.
White sahibs tell us to sell, we sell
560
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:48,085
Don't take our lands sahib !
Where will we go ?
561
00:53:48,291 --> 00:53:50,589
Have mercy, sahib
562
00:53:50,794 --> 00:53:53,024
For god's sake, have mercy
563
00:53:57,901 --> 00:53:59,664
Get your hands off
564
00:54:07,377 --> 00:54:09,038
The Company is cruel !
565
00:54:09,312 --> 00:54:11,507
Get out ! Go away !
566
00:54:14,050 --> 00:54:16,109
Our children will starve !
- Leave us alone
567
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:19,622
Fire !
568
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:20,685
No sir !
569
00:54:20,890 --> 00:54:22,790
That's not necessary,
l'll deal with this
570
00:54:22,993 --> 00:54:24,858
l said fire !
571
00:54:34,004 --> 00:54:36,472
No... no... don't shoot.
- We're your brothers
572
00:55:38,234 --> 00:55:39,997
What are you thinking ?
573
00:55:41,171 --> 00:55:43,731
Does this happen back home
in my village as well ?
574
00:55:46,443 --> 00:55:53,372
We're soldiers. lt's our job to fight,
to kill
575
00:55:54,984 --> 00:55:59,478
To kill an unknown enemy is easy.
But to kill people who are your own...
576
00:56:02,992 --> 00:56:05,756
You were obeying orders, Mangal
577
00:56:06,963 --> 00:56:12,230
That's our duty That is the price of
the salt we eat
578
00:56:14,170 --> 00:56:17,628
Sometimes l wonder if there are more
important things in life than salt
579
00:56:49,038 --> 00:57:01,246
l'm a slave to your charms
580
00:57:01,985 --> 00:57:16,229
l'm a slave to your charms
581
00:57:21,171 --> 00:57:26,199
l'm a slave to your charms
582
00:57:26,409 --> 00:57:36,842
l'm a slave to your charms
583
00:57:37,053 --> 00:57:40,648
Your love for me is like...
584
00:57:42,292 --> 00:57:47,320
Your love for me is like...
a honey-dipped dagger
585
00:57:47,530 --> 00:57:53,264
l'm a slave to your charms
586
00:57:55,638 --> 00:58:00,666
Your burning gaze pierces
me like arrows
587
00:58:00,877 --> 00:58:05,837
Where did you learn such deadly skill ?
588
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:11,681
My heart's wounded...
but the pain is so exquisite
589
00:58:14,090 --> 00:58:19,756
l'm a slave to your charms
590
00:58:54,564 --> 00:58:59,467
Once l was a blossoming bud...
591
00:59:04,507 --> 00:59:10,241
flowering in a garden of sunshine
592
00:59:12,348 --> 00:59:14,646
No restless days,
593
00:59:14,851 --> 00:59:17,547
no sleepless nights
594
00:59:17,754 --> 00:59:20,154
l was innocent and carefree...
595
00:59:20,356 --> 00:59:22,756
and then l met you !
596
00:59:22,959 --> 00:59:28,761
oh, what a price l'm paying
for having trusted you...
597
00:59:30,967 --> 00:59:36,064
oh, what a price l'm paying
for having trusted you !
598
00:59:46,816 --> 00:59:51,844
Your love for me is like...
a honey-dipped dagger
599
00:59:52,055 --> 01:00:03,125
l'm a slave to your charms
600
01:00:52,882 --> 01:00:55,009
She has already been promised
for the first night...
601
01:00:55,218 --> 01:00:59,917
to the Company's senior officer.
you cannot take her sahib, l beg you
602
01:01:00,123 --> 01:01:02,683
Out of my way woman,
l'm taking her
603
01:01:02,892 --> 01:01:06,384
No, not for double the money, please
604
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:09,793
Her first night will be with me
and that's what she wants to...
605
01:01:09,999 --> 01:01:13,366
don't you darling !
- Don't create trouble for me
606
01:01:13,569 --> 01:01:14,536
Enough !
607
01:01:19,642 --> 01:01:23,635
Did you not hear !
The woman said something. Leave the girl
608
01:01:23,846 --> 01:01:26,508
One more word out of you and
l'll have you horsewhipped !
609
01:01:27,083 --> 01:01:28,380
You're not going anywhere !
610
01:01:37,193 --> 01:01:38,057
Bastard !
611
01:01:38,261 --> 01:01:39,489
l'll get you for this, you nigger !
612
01:01:39,696 --> 01:01:43,757
l'll teach you a lesson,
you son of a whore !
613
01:01:48,871 --> 01:01:55,902
l say, leave him !
614
01:02:11,494 --> 01:02:15,157
You scoundrels !
You're wrecking my shop
615
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,437
No ! Not upstairs !
616
01:02:26,642 --> 01:02:30,169
You'll destroy my rooms !
Who'll pay for the damage ?
617
01:03:20,596 --> 01:03:23,190
You still haven't told me your name
618
01:03:25,067 --> 01:03:25,999
Jwala
619
01:03:26,202 --> 01:03:29,330
Hey stop ! - lt's urgent
620
01:03:29,572 --> 01:03:31,972
Where are you going ?
- We need to meet Gordon sahib
621
01:03:32,208 --> 01:03:37,669
Gordon sahib ! He's killing Mangal !
- What... who ?
622
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,576
Hewson sahib has gone to
the jail to kill Mangal Pandey
623
01:04:06,309 --> 01:04:10,769
You dog ! You dare assault an officer !
624
01:04:29,031 --> 01:04:30,498
Say you are a dog
625
01:04:34,503 --> 01:04:36,664
Say you are a dog !
626
01:04:46,716 --> 01:04:48,343
You are a dog
627
01:04:57,693 --> 01:05:00,093
Make the black bastard shit blood
628
01:05:02,298 --> 01:05:04,926
Stop... stop it
629
01:05:07,970 --> 01:05:10,837
Four men against one !
You cowardly bastard
630
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,567
You think you can kill this man
and get away with it ?
631
01:05:13,809 --> 01:05:16,607
The commandant won't take a
black man's word for it, will he ?
632
01:05:16,812 --> 01:05:19,679
Well, if he'll take a white man's
he'll bloody well take mine
633
01:05:20,983 --> 01:05:23,747
You sir, you're no white man
634
01:05:26,989 --> 01:05:28,251
Let's get out of here
635
01:05:29,091 --> 01:05:29,853
Come on
636
01:05:55,751 --> 01:06:03,556
Cheers to Mangal ! Long live Mangal !
637
01:06:03,759 --> 01:06:04,987
Next
638
01:06:08,464 --> 01:06:11,922
Quick, lift it up. You wouldn't be here
if you were the shy sort
639
01:06:21,777 --> 01:06:26,111
C'mon doc, quit peeping up skirts all day.
Treat a hero for once !
640
01:06:27,883 --> 01:06:31,046
lsn't he the one who fought
with Captain Hewson ?
641
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:34,017
No ! He's the one who taught
him a lesson !
642
01:06:34,690 --> 01:06:39,024
Come baby ! l could teach you
a lesson or two myself
643
01:06:39,495 --> 01:06:44,194
Oh dear ! What a waste of energy !
Why don't you try your strength on us ?
644
01:06:45,301 --> 01:06:48,964
Yes ! l've never tasted a hero
645
01:06:49,171 --> 01:06:53,301
For you it'll be free. ln fact,
we'll pay
646
01:06:53,909 --> 01:06:58,846
Shut up ! Go sell your bodies
to the whites... go
647
01:06:59,515 --> 01:07:02,143
We just sell our bodies,
648
01:07:02,718 --> 01:07:04,811
you soldiers sell your souls !
649
01:07:19,268 --> 01:07:23,068
ln the course of my investigations
l have discovered
650
01:07:23,272 --> 01:07:26,400
that you have been compromising
senior officers,
651
01:07:27,443 --> 01:07:30,674
falsifying accounts, in fact sir,
you have been cheating the company
652
01:07:32,048 --> 01:07:36,314
l have done nothing
that others have not done before me
653
01:07:36,485 --> 01:07:40,251
You have been smuggling opium
into China on your own behalf, Mr Kent
654
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:44,789
You have evidence ?
655
01:07:49,365 --> 01:07:53,495
Lockwood accused Kent of carrying
on illegitimate trade in opium...
656
01:07:53,702 --> 01:07:56,500
and produced Sorabjee as evidence.
657
01:07:56,705 --> 01:08:02,439
You wanted me to go to prison for you.
- No sir, you pay for your own sins
658
01:08:03,112 --> 01:08:09,449
Mr Lockwood, you would persuade
a native to point a finger at me !
659
01:08:09,718 --> 01:08:11,447
l'm just a puppet in his hands, sir
660
01:08:11,620 --> 01:08:13,087
lf you lay a hand on me...
661
01:08:13,622 --> 01:08:18,525
the reverberations will reach
the House of Lords
662
01:08:18,894 --> 01:08:23,388
Kent warned Lockwood
that taking him on...
663
01:08:23,833 --> 01:08:27,132
Lockwood could be taking on
the House of Lords.
664
01:08:41,717 --> 01:08:42,684
Anyone there ?
665
01:08:51,427 --> 01:08:52,553
Hukum Singh
666
01:09:07,843 --> 01:09:09,276
l'm used to it, sahib
667
01:09:09,478 --> 01:09:10,945
But l'm not
668
01:09:41,210 --> 01:09:45,306
lt's all right, come on
669
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:52,313
What are you doing ?
670
01:09:54,256 --> 01:09:58,056
Give me the gun
671
01:09:58,260 --> 01:10:00,057
Give me the bloody gun !
672
01:10:20,516 --> 01:10:21,847
l don't want you to go
673
01:10:42,004 --> 01:10:43,699
l was just at Lol Bibi's...
674
01:10:44,073 --> 01:10:46,940
your Juliet is really worried
about you, mate
675
01:10:47,142 --> 01:10:50,339
She sent milk for you,
specially laced with turmeric
676
01:10:51,046 --> 01:10:54,209
But l'm an untouchable and what
l've touched you won't consume
677
01:10:54,416 --> 01:10:58,443
So l saved you the dilemma and
l drank it myself !
678
01:11:02,224 --> 01:11:03,521
l want to meet her
679
01:11:05,427 --> 01:11:08,225
Oh, so the fire rages here
as well
680
01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:13,629
But how ? You aren't a white man,
eunuch or an untouchable.
681
01:11:16,205 --> 01:11:17,297
l want to meet her
682
01:12:11,660 --> 01:12:12,592
What's your name ?
683
01:12:15,130 --> 01:12:16,028
Heera
684
01:12:19,401 --> 01:12:20,231
What caste ?
685
01:12:23,072 --> 01:12:28,874
People on sale have none. Whoever pays
gets to choose my caste
686
01:12:33,382 --> 01:12:34,144
Where are you from ?
687
01:12:35,651 --> 01:12:36,549
Don't know
688
01:12:37,820 --> 01:12:41,517
As a child l was kidnapped, then sold
689
01:12:43,392 --> 01:12:46,054
Since then, it's been one
sale after another
690
01:12:48,364 --> 01:12:49,296
Want to escape ?
691
01:12:52,334 --> 01:12:53,596
Escape ? With you ?
692
01:13:19,995 --> 01:13:21,553
You're badly hurt
693
01:13:31,206 --> 01:13:33,333
Did you drink the milk l sent ?
694
01:13:35,477 --> 01:13:36,273
Ya
695
01:13:37,913 --> 01:13:39,175
Lying to me ?
696
01:13:46,989 --> 01:13:48,115
Lol Bibi is looking for you
697
01:13:48,323 --> 01:13:50,154
You'll get into trouble
698
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:33,728
Like the fish thrashes helplessly in a net...
699
01:14:35,103 --> 01:14:42,839
so do l in your love
700
01:14:43,045 --> 01:14:45,843
At the core of my being...
701
01:14:46,715 --> 01:14:51,516
l feel an insatiable thirst...
702
01:14:53,322 --> 01:15:00,091
and my every nerve is aflame
703
01:15:22,518 --> 01:15:27,512
Oh tell me, lass, who's that
thief of your thoughts ?
704
01:15:38,333 --> 01:15:43,066
That philanderer, that scoundrel,
705
01:15:43,438 --> 01:15:48,239
he sins in my head
706
01:15:52,180 --> 01:15:56,708
That philanderer, that scoundrel,
707
01:15:56,919 --> 01:16:01,481
he sins in my head
708
01:16:01,690 --> 01:16:05,854
Locking his eyes with mine...
709
01:16:06,228 --> 01:16:10,824
he steals my sleep and peace of mind
710
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:17,100
That trickster... oh my rascal lover
711
01:16:17,306 --> 01:16:19,297
Slowly but surely...
712
01:16:19,508 --> 01:16:21,635
she falls in his trap
713
01:16:21,843 --> 01:16:23,936
As the flames begin to lick her...
714
01:16:24,146 --> 01:16:27,604
her veil begins to slip
715
01:16:27,816 --> 01:16:32,617
That trickster
716
01:16:33,488 --> 01:16:38,790
Oh my rascal lover
717
01:16:40,596 --> 01:16:42,962
Oh tell me, lass, who is he ?
718
01:16:43,165 --> 01:16:47,124
Who's that thief of your dreams ?
719
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:56,741
He's a soldier, a brave warrior,
who by my word, has stolen my heart
720
01:17:26,975 --> 01:17:31,275
l didn't think at first sight that
he would possess me so
721
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:33,607
But my heart began to beat aloud...
722
01:17:33,815 --> 01:17:36,443
and l knew l was lost
723
01:17:38,487 --> 01:17:40,682
How l panicked...
724
01:17:40,889 --> 01:17:42,857
and burned with shame...
725
01:17:43,058 --> 01:17:47,358
when he took my hand and
pulled me close
726
01:17:47,562 --> 01:17:49,757
Then clouds of desire gathered,
727
01:17:49,965 --> 01:17:54,459
and burst forth with love's rain.
Oh that trickster
728
01:18:01,309 --> 01:18:03,709
Oh you scoundrel
729
01:19:02,237 --> 01:19:03,329
What's up Davar ?
730
01:19:04,973 --> 01:19:06,600
Damn you, Nainsukh !
731
01:19:06,808 --> 01:19:09,436
You cockeyed scoundrel ! Can't you find
someone else to bump into ?
732
01:19:09,644 --> 01:19:14,206
Who better than you, now that we're
both the same... untouchables
733
01:19:14,483 --> 01:19:16,041
What nonsense, you swine !
734
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:20,017
Well, you've bitten the bullet
and licked the fat
735
01:19:20,222 --> 01:19:21,553
You've lost your caste, you have
nothing left to lose now
736
01:19:21,757 --> 01:19:24,123
Shut up... that's a lie !
737
01:19:24,326 --> 01:19:27,386
Your ''lie'' is being manufactured
in a factory in Calcutta
738
01:19:27,596 --> 01:19:28,688
Want to see for yourself ?
739
01:19:30,398 --> 01:19:31,228
Do you ?
740
01:19:36,138 --> 01:19:42,202
Come, my brothers, come
741
01:19:44,346 --> 01:19:47,747
l won't stay silent any longer,
even if it costs me my life !
742
01:19:47,949 --> 01:19:51,817
lt's true about the cartridges.
See for yourself, pig fat and cow fat
743
01:20:03,965 --> 01:20:05,159
May the devil stay away !
744
01:20:11,373 --> 01:20:13,170
ls this your factory ?
- Only in name...
745
01:20:13,375 --> 01:20:15,673
the real owner is an Englishman
746
01:20:16,545 --> 01:20:20,777
l am a god-fearing man, brothers,
l respect both Hindus and Muslims
747
01:20:20,982 --> 01:20:24,349
Then why did you use cow
and pig fat ?!
748
01:20:24,886 --> 01:20:28,447
The Company would have used
crow fat if that was cheaper
749
01:21:10,932 --> 01:21:11,591
Mangal...?
750
01:21:14,536 --> 01:21:16,231
You lied to me !
751
01:21:18,006 --> 01:21:20,736
l trusted you and you lied me
752
01:21:22,277 --> 01:21:25,872
What're you talking about ?
- l saw it with my own eyes
753
01:21:26,448 --> 01:21:28,882
The factory, the cartridge,
the grease...
754
01:21:29,084 --> 01:21:30,745
made with cow and pig fat
755
01:21:31,186 --> 01:21:34,485
Oh God, no...
756
01:21:34,756 --> 01:21:36,246
l'm now an outcaste
757
01:21:37,325 --> 01:21:38,792
You know what it means to
be an outcaste ?
758
01:21:39,895 --> 01:21:41,419
My entire community will shun me
759
01:21:41,930 --> 01:21:45,024
They will no longer touch me,
speak to me, eat with me,
760
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:48,758
or burn my body when l die
761
01:21:49,905 --> 01:21:50,837
For them l am an untouchable.
l no longer exist. l am a nobody
762
01:21:51,039 --> 01:21:52,836
Mangal, listen to me...
- You lied to me !
763
01:21:53,041 --> 01:21:55,441
Listen to me, l didn't know !
They lied to me
764
01:21:55,644 --> 01:22:02,948
You plunder our land, you abuse
our faith and now...
765
01:22:03,418 --> 01:22:07,684
you want our Souls ? Sahib... you've
enjoyed a black man's loyalty
766
01:22:08,657 --> 01:22:10,284
Now taste his fury
767
01:22:10,625 --> 01:22:14,823
Mark my words, Captain sahib !
This cartridge will explode
768
01:22:15,096 --> 01:22:17,496
And it will bring to an end
the Company Raj
769
01:22:22,037 --> 01:22:27,873
Take back you pistol, Captain sahib.
We're brothers no more
770
01:23:15,457 --> 01:23:16,754
Don't...
771
01:23:25,767 --> 01:23:29,726
lf you are an untouchable then so am l
772
01:23:32,674 --> 01:23:35,472
Mangal, we're all with you
773
01:23:38,847 --> 01:23:41,645
A wrong done unknowingly is not a sin
774
01:23:41,983 --> 01:23:44,110
That's what the scriptures say as well
775
01:23:57,132 --> 01:23:59,896
This cartridge controversy
could spin out of control sir.
776
01:24:00,335 --> 01:24:04,396
We have tried to introduce it twice,
in different regiments without success.
777
01:24:04,773 --> 01:24:06,104
l would recommend caution.
778
01:24:06,274 --> 01:24:10,438
Damn it we can't succumb
to such blind superstition
779
01:24:10,678 --> 01:24:13,704
May seem like superstition
to us sir, but to the sepoys...
780
01:24:13,815 --> 01:24:16,841
it's an extremely sensitive issue.
lt strikes them at their core.
781
01:24:17,118 --> 01:24:23,079
Gordon urged his senior officers
to respect the sepoys' feelings...
782
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:26,260
and withdraw the cartridge.
He was reminded that...
783
01:24:26,461 --> 01:24:32,923
the country was ruled by a Company
which could not suffer losses.
784
01:24:41,643 --> 01:24:45,943
Colonel Mitchell claimed that
his sepoys were loyal...
785
01:24:46,314 --> 01:24:49,943
and would do his bidding.
So it was decided...
786
01:24:50,151 --> 01:24:54,451
that a contingent from Barrackpore
be sent to Behrampore...
787
01:24:54,656 --> 01:25:00,788
a hundred miles away... where they would be
forced to use the cartridge, by example.
788
01:25:45,206 --> 01:25:48,334
Mitchell ordered the sepoys from
both the Behrampore...
789
01:25:48,543 --> 01:25:54,345
and Barrackpore regiments...
to use the cartridge.
790
01:25:55,884 --> 01:25:58,352
First company, first platoon,
791
01:25:58,553 --> 01:26:01,351
step forward and pick up
your rifles and the cartridges
792
01:26:08,897 --> 01:26:10,194
Subedar
793
01:26:14,068 --> 01:26:15,194
What's the matter ?
794
01:26:15,403 --> 01:26:18,372
The new cartridge, sir.
The sepoys don't want to use it, sir
795
01:26:18,573 --> 01:26:20,541
Damn it Bakht Khan
796
01:26:21,409 --> 01:26:22,876
Now this is the Army
797
01:26:23,912 --> 01:26:28,372
A soldier uses whatever arms and
ammunition he is asked to use
798
01:26:31,252 --> 01:26:36,212
First company, first platoon,
step forward
799
01:26:40,595 --> 01:26:41,721
Enough !
800
01:26:43,932 --> 01:26:48,733
lf you do not move l will blow you
apart with cannon !
801
01:26:54,609 --> 01:26:56,577
Move the artillery forward
802
01:27:16,631 --> 01:27:19,099
You will obey orders !
803
01:27:20,468 --> 01:27:22,936
l will count till ten
804
01:27:25,974 --> 01:27:27,601
One
805
01:27:29,811 --> 01:27:30,436
Two
806
01:27:33,514 --> 01:27:34,446
Three
807
01:27:36,818 --> 01:27:38,285
Four
808
01:27:41,990 --> 01:27:42,957
Five
809
01:27:45,493 --> 01:27:46,460
Six
810
01:27:49,330 --> 01:27:50,297
Seven
811
01:27:54,836 --> 01:27:55,632
Eight
812
01:27:59,007 --> 01:28:00,133
Nine
813
01:28:29,704 --> 01:28:32,832
Fire...
814
01:28:56,564 --> 01:28:59,032
Dismiss the parade sir.
This could turn serious
815
01:29:01,069 --> 01:29:02,195
Do it sir
816
01:29:04,739 --> 01:29:06,866
For god's sake,
do it before it's too late !
817
01:29:08,743 --> 01:29:11,871
Very well, dismiss the parade
818
01:29:14,248 --> 01:29:16,375
Parade... dismiss !
819
01:29:53,287 --> 01:29:56,586
Looting the armoury was wrong
820
01:29:57,125 --> 01:29:59,423
Now we leave them no choice
821
01:29:59,594 --> 01:30:02,563
What choice did we have ?
Mitchell was about to blow us up.
822
01:30:02,797 --> 01:30:06,096
That was just a bluff.
He doesn't have the authority
823
01:30:06,334 --> 01:30:07,426
But now he has an excuse
824
01:30:07,635 --> 01:30:11,435
He'll attack us and claim that
he's putting down a mutiny
825
01:30:12,473 --> 01:30:14,270
They're coming to attack our
homes with horses and cannons !
826
01:30:18,146 --> 01:30:21,445
Don't panic. Get ready with
your weapons
827
01:30:21,649 --> 01:30:23,116
Come on
828
01:30:36,230 --> 01:30:39,461
This is your commanding officer
829
01:30:40,701 --> 01:30:44,797
Unless you lay down the arms
which you have looted...
830
01:30:45,506 --> 01:30:49,135
l promise you,
l will give the orders of fire
831
01:30:49,677 --> 01:30:52,145
We don't want bloodshed,
Colonel sahib.
832
01:30:52,713 --> 01:30:56,479
Withdraw your guns and go in peace
833
01:30:57,185 --> 01:31:01,315
Surrender ! This is your last chance
834
01:31:01,522 --> 01:31:06,323
We are armed Colonel sahib !
We will fight
835
01:31:06,861 --> 01:31:08,158
But sir, they are our own men
836
01:31:08,362 --> 01:31:11,160
Not any more, can't you see
they are mutineers
837
01:31:11,699 --> 01:31:15,328
Split up into four groups and
let each man carry two torches
838
01:31:17,538 --> 01:31:19,836
Sir but we have no such commands
from the General
839
01:31:20,041 --> 01:31:22,509
Don't you dare interfere with my authority
840
01:32:20,935 --> 01:32:23,733
Please withdraw for now, sir.
Let me talk to them
841
01:32:27,275 --> 01:32:30,073
All right do it, do it !
842
01:32:30,778 --> 01:32:32,905
Listen up
843
01:32:33,614 --> 01:32:36,583
This is corporal Bhola Tiwari speaking
844
01:32:36,784 --> 01:32:40,914
Colonel Mitchell sahib has agreed
to withdraw the cannons
845
01:32:41,455 --> 01:32:43,753
The English soldiers are
returning to their barracks
846
01:32:43,958 --> 01:32:46,256
Please let them through
847
01:33:06,180 --> 01:33:09,616
Fellow soldiers of lndia...
848
01:33:13,988 --> 01:33:16,957
we have shed our blood
without complaint...
849
01:33:18,159 --> 01:33:24,120
in the service of our foreign masters
850
01:33:25,333 --> 01:33:28,632
For them, we have conquered
kingdom after kingdom
851
01:33:29,503 --> 01:33:32,301
But in return...
852
01:33:33,674 --> 01:33:34,971
what have we got ?
853
01:33:35,843 --> 01:33:40,974
Poverty, hunger and humiliation
854
01:33:44,352 --> 01:33:45,319
Mangal, Gordon sahib is here
855
01:33:55,696 --> 01:33:57,823
l'm not here on duty
856
01:34:00,034 --> 01:34:02,161
l've come to speak with Mangal Pandey
857
01:34:03,871 --> 01:34:07,830
Whatever you have to say,
you can say here. We're all friends
858
01:34:20,721 --> 01:34:21,517
Give me a minute
859
01:34:31,232 --> 01:34:34,030
Do you fully understand the implications
of what you're doing ?
860
01:34:34,402 --> 01:34:37,371
The Army will never,
never tolerate insubordination
861
01:34:37,905 --> 01:34:43,366
You leave them no choice.
They will have to use force unless...
862
01:34:43,577 --> 01:34:46,705
Unless what ? Unless what sahib ?
863
01:34:47,915 --> 01:34:50,713
Unless we go down on our knees
and beg for mercy ?
864
01:34:51,252 --> 01:34:54,380
Swallow your cartridge and our honour ?
865
01:34:55,089 --> 01:34:57,717
Forget who we are and promise to
remain your slaves forever ?
866
01:35:00,261 --> 01:35:03,719
For too long our minds have rusted
in the service of foreign masters
867
01:35:04,098 --> 01:35:06,896
All it takes is a little bit of grease to
make us remember who we are
868
01:35:07,635 --> 01:35:13,403
l can understand how you feel.
l too feel angered...
869
01:35:13,607 --> 01:35:18,408
when the Company is unreasonable,
when officers are unfeeling,
870
01:35:18,612 --> 01:35:22,742
when rules are unfair,
but these differences...
871
01:35:22,950 --> 01:35:25,418
must be resolved by reasonable means
872
01:35:30,958 --> 01:35:31,925
This is the difference
873
01:35:35,296 --> 01:35:37,423
Now what are the reasonable means ?
874
01:35:48,642 --> 01:35:52,442
News of the chaos at Behrampore had
reached the senior officers.
875
01:35:52,646 --> 01:35:54,443
They were unhappy with Mitchell's
handling of the situation.
876
01:35:54,615 --> 01:35:57,982
Mitchell is a fool
877
01:35:58,586 --> 01:36:00,645
This shouldn't have been allowed
to happen.
878
01:36:10,931 --> 01:36:14,924
l've come to beg you to reconsider, sir.
Please withdraw the cartridges.
879
01:36:17,204 --> 01:36:19,832
You don't expect an army to succumb
to a rumour do you, Captain ?
880
01:36:20,107 --> 01:36:22,871
This is not simply
a question of idle gossip, sir.
881
01:36:23,043 --> 01:36:26,809
Gordon once again urged that the
cartridges be discontinued.
882
01:36:28,516 --> 01:36:31,144
But the officials paid no heed to him.
883
01:36:31,685 --> 01:36:35,985
lnstead, they cast aspersions
on his loyalty, and said...
884
01:36:36,190 --> 01:36:41,492
he could share his bed with a
native, but not his loyalty.
885
01:37:11,559 --> 01:37:16,189
The British were worried that there were
very few white soldiers in Barrackpore.
886
01:37:16,897 --> 01:37:21,357
They decided to send for
Queen Victoria's troops from...
887
01:37:21,569 --> 01:37:25,869
Rangoon to deal with the
rebelling sepoys.
888
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,708
And till Rangoon Regiment arrived...
889
01:37:28,909 --> 01:37:30,536
they would stall for time
by ordering an enquiry.
890
01:37:35,082 --> 01:37:40,213
l think we should accept the
Company's offer and return the guns
891
01:37:40,754 --> 01:37:43,052
There will be only an inquiry,
no punishments
892
01:37:43,591 --> 01:37:44,888
Let them save face
893
01:37:45,092 --> 01:37:49,051
But we can win ! For every British soldier,
we are seven sepoys
894
01:37:49,430 --> 01:37:53,890
Even if we win Behrampore,
will it end the Company Raj ?
895
01:37:54,101 --> 01:37:56,228
So we take defeat without a fight ?
896
01:37:56,437 --> 01:38:00,737
Have we learnt nothing from the British ?
Rushing into battle is futile
897
01:38:01,108 --> 01:38:08,241
But if we plan well, we can win.
Our country, our honour... everything
898
01:38:08,449 --> 01:38:10,576
But for now we need time
899
01:38:13,854 --> 01:38:22,421
O' Messiah, lead us into hope...
900
01:38:22,630 --> 01:38:31,595
O' Messiah, lead us into hope
901
01:38:36,010 --> 01:38:42,438
ln fervent worship, l seek you...
like a moth seeks the flame
902
01:38:42,650 --> 01:38:51,524
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
903
01:38:51,725 --> 01:38:56,059
Lead me to your light,
show me the way
904
01:38:56,263 --> 01:39:06,969
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
905
01:39:07,174 --> 01:39:29,360
O' Messiah, lead us into hope
906
01:39:51,218 --> 01:39:55,848
My heart is uneasy,
sleep and dreams elude me
907
01:39:58,225 --> 01:40:02,685
l turn and toss as a storm grows
in my breast
908
01:40:06,900 --> 01:40:11,360
What is to happen next ?
Where does this story go ?
909
01:40:11,605 --> 01:40:15,701
The world waits with bated breath
for the saga to unfold
910
01:40:15,943 --> 01:40:16,875
O' Lord...
911
01:40:17,911 --> 01:40:19,378
O' Messiah...
912
01:40:20,414 --> 01:40:25,044
Why these hurdles, why this trial by fire ?
913
01:40:27,254 --> 01:40:35,559
O' most merciful, benevolent God...
hear my plea
914
01:40:47,608 --> 01:40:50,076
Welcome, friends, welcome...
915
01:40:50,778 --> 01:40:54,236
welcome to the noble path
916
01:40:57,117 --> 01:41:01,076
We are emissaries of King Nana Saheb
917
01:41:01,622 --> 01:41:05,922
l am Azimullah and this is Chief of the
Maratha army, Tatya Tope
918
01:41:06,460 --> 01:41:07,757
Please be seated
919
01:41:09,797 --> 01:41:12,095
What brings you to us ?
920
01:41:13,634 --> 01:41:18,435
You are aware how the Company has,
through treachery and force...
921
01:41:18,639 --> 01:41:21,107
snatched our kingdoms from us
922
01:41:21,642 --> 01:41:24,611
They took Delhi, Awadh, Jhansi...
923
01:41:25,646 --> 01:41:27,273
Everyone is angry
924
01:41:28,649 --> 01:41:32,949
Nana Saheb has united all the kings...
925
01:41:33,153 --> 01:41:36,281
to fight against the Company
926
01:41:37,825 --> 01:41:42,285
We're here to invite you to join us
927
01:41:50,671 --> 01:41:51,797
lnvite us ?
928
01:41:53,507 --> 01:41:54,633
What is it, some feast ?
929
01:41:56,009 --> 01:42:01,470
Your Rajahs and Nawabs have
gambled away their kingdoms
930
01:42:01,682 --> 01:42:02,808
They've sold out to the company,
my friend
931
01:42:03,517 --> 01:42:07,476
We have seen them grovel and
lay down their arms in front of us
932
01:42:08,922 --> 01:42:10,822
What are they ? Nothing
933
01:42:12,526 --> 01:42:13,493
And you ?
934
01:42:14,194 --> 01:42:18,824
We are Hindustan.
The Company rules on our strength
935
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,828
The Company's native army
is the only force today...
936
01:42:23,036 --> 01:42:26,472
with the numbers, the weapons
and the training to challenge the Company
937
01:42:26,940 --> 01:42:29,670
And afterwards ? Who will rule ?
938
01:42:30,043 --> 01:42:30,702
The people
939
01:42:31,945 --> 01:42:37,008
Even in England, the Queen may be
on the coin, but the rule is of the people
940
01:42:39,219 --> 01:42:43,349
The Company has always
won by dividing us...
941
01:42:44,091 --> 01:42:48,687
by making us fight, king against king,
Hindu against Muslim
942
01:42:49,396 --> 01:42:52,695
We have a common enemy... the Company
943
01:42:53,567 --> 01:42:57,196
lt's time to unite and fight against it
944
01:42:57,571 --> 01:43:00,039
You want that we spill our blood to
throw the Company out...
945
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:01,366
and become your slaves again ?
946
01:43:02,242 --> 01:43:04,039
No ! This is a fight for freedom
947
01:43:04,411 --> 01:43:08,211
Freedom from our past,
freedom for our future
948
01:43:11,919 --> 01:43:17,016
lt is the need of the hour
that we bury our differences
949
01:43:19,593 --> 01:43:22,221
We're ready to fight alongside the kings
950
01:43:23,330 --> 01:43:27,892
But this revolution needs
a unifying symbol
951
01:43:28,435 --> 01:43:30,903
And that can only be the
Red Fort in Delhi
952
01:43:31,772 --> 01:43:33,569
lf we agree...
953
01:43:33,774 --> 01:43:35,571
to unite under the leadership of the
Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah...
954
01:43:35,943 --> 01:43:37,740
then we have a deal
955
01:43:44,952 --> 01:43:47,750
But Bahadur Shah is 82 years old
956
01:43:47,955 --> 01:43:53,086
Yes, he is old and infirm...
but fed up of the Company's excesses
957
01:43:53,627 --> 01:43:55,754
He needs us and we need him
958
01:43:57,130 --> 01:43:59,598
His flag will be our banner
959
01:44:05,639 --> 01:44:14,513
We know the disposition, speed and
strength of the entire Company army
960
01:44:19,820 --> 01:44:23,119
Barrackpore, Behrampore, Raniganj
961
01:44:23,323 --> 01:44:26,292
Allahabad, Kanpur, Lucknow,
Meerut and Delhi
962
01:44:30,163 --> 01:44:32,131
All large garrison towns
963
01:44:33,333 --> 01:44:38,965
Three hundred thousand native sepoys
and only forty thousand British soldiers
964
01:44:41,508 --> 01:44:45,308
lf on the same day, at the same time,
all of us rise...
965
01:44:46,346 --> 01:44:52,649
the Company won't know where to hide
966
01:44:55,856 --> 01:44:58,222
ln a single day, we disarm
every British soldier
967
01:44:59,192 --> 01:45:02,559
And the Company Raj comes to an end !
968
01:45:10,037 --> 01:45:11,664
Praise be to Allah !
969
01:45:14,041 --> 01:45:17,670
Astrology predicts that the Company Raj
will end in a hundred years
970
01:45:18,545 --> 01:45:22,572
And a hundred years, ends this May
971
01:45:22,883 --> 01:45:24,510
Then let's fix the date
972
01:45:25,552 --> 01:45:26,780
31st May
973
01:45:28,388 --> 01:45:32,791
On that day, all of lndia will rise
and become free
974
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,461
lt's Holi !
975
01:45:39,066 --> 01:45:42,365
Holi is here, an explosion of colour
976
01:45:42,569 --> 01:45:45,868
The bells ring out and drumbeats roll
977
01:45:46,073 --> 01:45:49,201
The streets dance in drunken abandon
978
01:45:49,409 --> 01:45:53,038
lt's the season of joy, my love
979
01:46:21,108 --> 01:46:23,076
You wretches ! Where are you off to ?
980
01:46:29,449 --> 01:46:34,250
Look, Holi is here in a riot of colours,
painting one and all alike
981
01:46:34,454 --> 01:46:39,255
Sorrows are lost, in new ecstasies
of blues, greens and reds
982
01:46:39,459 --> 01:46:43,919
Look, Holi is here in a riot of colours,
painting one and all alike
983
01:46:44,131 --> 01:46:48,932
Sorrows are lost, in new ecstasies
of blues, greens and reds
984
01:46:49,136 --> 01:46:53,596
l am going to be coloured anew...
985
01:46:53,807 --> 01:46:56,935
this year the hues look richer
986
01:46:57,144 --> 01:47:02,104
No one can stop us now,
no one can hold us back...
987
01:47:02,482 --> 01:47:07,613
No matter what... we are ready !
988
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:31,641
Look my love, l'm drenched in colours
989
01:47:31,845 --> 01:47:36,305
And a little drunk, you sway
so mesmerisingly
990
01:47:36,516 --> 01:47:40,646
How can l not let go and
enjoy this moment...
991
01:47:41,354 --> 01:47:46,656
as you seduce me with your eyes ?
- No one can stop us now
992
01:47:46,860 --> 01:47:53,390
No one can hold us back...
no matter what... we are ready !
993
01:48:04,377 --> 01:48:07,835
With a fistful of colours Lord Krishna
sneaks up on his lover
994
01:48:08,048 --> 01:48:12,075
But Radha is quick as she is naughty
and gives it back as good as she gets
995
01:48:18,892 --> 01:48:22,350
With a fistful of colours Lord Krishna
sneaks up on his lover
996
01:48:22,562 --> 01:48:26,020
But Radha is quick as she is naughty
and gives it back as good as she gets
997
01:48:26,233 --> 01:48:31,364
As the lovers unite and the colours mix
Radha and Krishna become one
998
01:48:31,571 --> 01:48:36,440
Which is Radha, which is Krishna
who can tell them apart ?
999
01:48:47,254 --> 01:48:51,714
Under a blanket of colours
our eyes lock, our hands touch
1000
01:48:51,925 --> 01:48:56,385
We come closer and something
deep within me stirs
1001
01:48:56,596 --> 01:49:01,056
This spell of love, this joyous abandon,
can you ever escape it ?
1002
01:49:01,268 --> 01:49:04,567
Don't ask that of me anymore
1003
01:49:04,771 --> 01:49:09,731
No one can stop us now,
no can hold us back...
1004
01:49:09,943 --> 01:49:15,142
no matter what... we are ready !
1005
01:50:17,844 --> 01:50:24,147
The insolent behavior of the sepoys
Had the British officials worried.
1006
01:50:24,351 --> 01:50:28,151
Just then, General Anson
received the news...
1007
01:50:28,688 --> 01:50:31,885
that Rangoon Regiment was afloat
and would reach on...
1008
01:50:32,692 --> 01:50:35,490
April 1st. Anson decided that when
the Queen's troops arrived...
1009
01:50:35,695 --> 01:50:40,758
the rebel soldiers would be disarmed
and their leaders hanged.
1010
01:50:41,034 --> 01:50:47,234
lt would be such a lesson that no one
would dare rise for a hundred years.
1011
01:51:00,887 --> 01:51:03,981
Mangal, they're going to kill you
1012
01:51:04,557 --> 01:51:06,582
They've sent for the Rangoon Regiment
1013
01:51:06,893 --> 01:51:09,191
What... Rangoon Regiment ? When ?
1014
01:51:09,396 --> 01:51:10,590
1st April
1015
01:51:11,898 --> 01:51:13,024
How do you know ?
1016
01:51:14,067 --> 01:51:15,694
Last night l was with Hewson
1017
01:51:16,736 --> 01:51:18,363
He blurts out a lot when he is drunk.
1018
01:51:18,571 --> 01:51:20,539
He said, once the Regiment gets here...
1019
01:51:20,740 --> 01:51:26,042
they'll disarm the native sepoys
and hang their leaders
1020
01:51:26,746 --> 01:51:30,546
l'm scared, Mangal ! Save yourself...
1021
01:51:30,750 --> 01:51:35,119
and save me... from this hell
1022
01:51:37,257 --> 01:51:39,282
Mangal, l beg you
1023
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:42,387
Let's run away...
1024
01:51:43,263 --> 01:51:44,287
anywhere
1025
01:51:45,765 --> 01:51:46,493
No
1026
01:51:55,775 --> 01:51:59,176
Heera, l cannot run away
1027
01:52:14,961 --> 01:52:17,429
The situation has changed.
We can't wait till May
1028
01:52:17,630 --> 01:52:21,430
But the kings need time to prepare.
- Time is what we don't have
1029
01:52:21,634 --> 01:52:23,431
One wrong move can ruin everything
1030
01:52:23,636 --> 01:52:25,263
Once the sepoys are disarmed,
who will do the fighting ?
1031
01:52:25,472 --> 01:52:27,099
Your Nana Saheb ? Or Bahadur Shah ?
1032
01:52:28,141 --> 01:52:29,108
There's one way
1033
01:52:30,643 --> 01:52:34,272
We've received orders to march from
Behrampore on 21st March...
1034
01:52:34,481 --> 01:52:35,948
to reach Barrackpore on 30th March.
1035
01:52:36,149 --> 01:52:38,947
Rangoon Regiment arrives on 1st April
1036
01:52:39,152 --> 01:52:40,949
That gives us two days
1037
01:52:42,155 --> 01:52:46,956
The moment we reach Barrackpore,
we'll take over the cantonment
1038
01:52:47,494 --> 01:52:51,294
Then, before the Rangoon Regiment arrives,
we march to Calcutta.
1039
01:52:51,498 --> 01:52:54,797
There we capture Fort William
and hold on to it...
1040
01:52:55,168 --> 01:52:58,137
until the rebellion spreads
throughout the country
1041
01:53:06,846 --> 01:53:09,815
Done with selling your milk
to that white bitch ?
1042
01:53:10,016 --> 01:53:11,643
Better that, than us starving
1043
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:15,153
You bitch ! Talking back to me ?
1044
01:53:17,023 --> 01:53:21,653
Now their days are numbered !
- Yeah, in your dreams !
1045
01:53:22,028 --> 01:53:23,825
Wait and see, their time's up !
1046
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:29,659
By the next full-moon... slaughter !
1047
01:53:30,203 --> 01:53:32,671
Where... ? ln Barrackpore ?
1048
01:53:32,872 --> 01:53:34,840
Everywhere. All across lndia !
1049
01:53:46,219 --> 01:53:54,024
Memsaab, danger ! Danger Memsaab !
1050
01:53:54,394 --> 01:53:55,190
Wait
1051
01:53:59,399 --> 01:54:01,196
What's going on, what danger ?
1052
01:54:01,734 --> 01:54:05,192
Baba is like my own son.
l don't want anything to happen to him
1053
01:54:11,644 --> 01:54:16,206
Memsaab, you must leave !
- Why what's going on ?
1054
01:54:19,752 --> 01:54:22,380
The sepoys say Company Raj will end
1055
01:54:22,589 --> 01:54:24,216
They've been saying that for a
hundred years. lt won't happen
1056
01:54:24,424 --> 01:54:26,892
No ! This time it's for real
1057
01:54:27,427 --> 01:54:30,555
Please take Baba and go back to
Englistan. Please
1058
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:36,728
You've taken a great risk, Kamla.
1059
01:55:00,293 --> 01:55:04,923
Traitor! You dare to mutineer?
Now see what we do to your wife and child!
1060
01:55:06,132 --> 01:55:08,930
What date have you devils set for this ?
1061
01:55:18,411 --> 01:55:24,008
30th March
1062
01:55:26,419 --> 01:55:27,317
Send dispatches immediately
1063
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:29,044
Stop the Behrampore Regiment
from reaching here.
1064
01:55:29,255 --> 01:55:30,222
Contact Rangoon
1065
01:55:30,623 --> 01:55:33,114
The Queen's Regiment must get here
before the 30th.
1066
01:55:33,626 --> 01:55:37,960
Remember... your wife and child!
1067
01:55:41,834 --> 01:55:46,635
On learning the rebels' plans,
General Hearsey ordered that...
1068
01:55:46,839 --> 01:55:50,798
The Rangoon Regiment must reach
Barrackpore before 30th March.
1069
01:55:51,844 --> 01:55:54,472
Meanwhile, the Behrampore Regiment
must be stopped en route...
1070
01:55:54,847 --> 01:55:58,647
and prevented from reaching Barrackpore.
1071
01:56:05,858 --> 01:56:06,483
Halt !
1072
01:56:13,866 --> 01:56:16,994
Ah, Bakht Khan ! - Why this halt, sir ?
1073
01:56:17,236 --> 01:56:19,500
A storm is brewing.
We stay here till it passes.
1074
01:56:19,706 --> 01:56:24,336
But the Sepoys are tired... eager to reach
Barrackpore. They need to rest
1075
01:56:26,212 --> 01:56:29,511
Really ? Well l'm afraid
they must rest here
1076
01:56:31,718 --> 01:56:33,015
l will go and explain it to them
1077
01:56:35,388 --> 01:56:37,015
That won't be necessary
1078
01:57:18,765 --> 01:57:19,732
What's up ?
1079
01:57:21,434 --> 01:57:22,230
What happened ?
1080
01:57:22,935 --> 01:57:24,903
White soldiers, a whole army !
1081
01:57:25,104 --> 01:57:26,401
What ? Where ?
1082
01:57:26,606 --> 01:57:28,403
On the riverbank, l saw it myself
1083
01:57:29,942 --> 01:57:30,909
Are you out of your mind ?!
1084
01:57:31,110 --> 01:57:33,078
Believe me, l swear by my mother !
1085
01:57:34,113 --> 01:57:34,909
On the banks
1086
01:57:39,952 --> 01:57:42,580
Come on... the Brits are here !
1087
01:57:42,789 --> 01:57:43,915
The Rangoon Regiment has arrived.
1088
01:57:44,123 --> 01:57:45,750
Everyone to the Parade Ground. Quick !
1089
01:58:00,139 --> 01:58:02,107
Sound the bugle ! Call everyone, quick !
1090
01:58:02,975 --> 01:58:04,602
This is not the time... - Blow the bugle
1091
01:58:06,145 --> 01:58:08,613
Mangal ! What's the matter ?
1092
01:58:19,492 --> 01:58:20,789
What's wrong with the Sergeant-Major ?
1093
01:58:21,027 --> 01:58:24,121
Don't go out. lt is bad luck to spill milk
1094
01:58:24,330 --> 01:58:25,627
lt's an ill omen !
Something terrible is going to happen !
1095
01:58:26,332 --> 01:58:27,799
Please don't go
1096
01:58:29,035 --> 01:58:32,129
Don't worry, l'll be fine
1097
01:58:41,013 --> 01:58:45,814
Come on ! The time has come !
Time to fight, time to be free !
1098
01:58:46,052 --> 01:58:50,148
What happened Mangal, what's wrong ?
- Get your weapons. The Brits are here
1099
01:58:50,389 --> 01:58:53,825
The Rangoon Regiment has landed !
- But today isn't 1st April
1100
01:58:54,026 --> 01:58:58,986
They came early. We have to act fast.
Go get your guns ! Quick !
1101
01:58:59,198 --> 01:59:01,166
To arms !
1102
01:59:01,367 --> 01:59:04,336
But Bakht Khan's men aren't here yet.
- We need to wait for them
1103
01:59:04,537 --> 01:59:07,665
We can't wait. We must attack,
1104
01:59:07,874 --> 01:59:11,674
and capture the cantonment before
the Rangoon Regiment moves in
1105
01:59:11,878 --> 01:59:14,346
Stop. Don't. You'll get us killed !
1106
01:59:14,547 --> 01:59:17,846
There's no time ! Come on, move ! Move !
1107
01:59:18,951 --> 01:59:20,851
No no, wait ! He's gone mad !
1108
01:59:21,554 --> 01:59:24,182
Mangal your impatience
will get us killed !
1109
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:26,358
And this hesitation will
kill the rebellion !
1110
01:59:26,559 --> 01:59:28,356
But Mangal, we are not ready yet
1111
01:59:28,561 --> 01:59:29,858
lt's now or never !
1112
01:59:32,565 --> 01:59:34,192
What's wrong with you guys ?
1113
01:59:35,568 --> 01:59:39,197
Don't you see, the moment we have
all been waiting for is here !
1114
01:59:40,406 --> 01:59:44,536
lt's time to honour your pledge,
it's time to do or die
1115
01:59:45,244 --> 01:59:47,712
Pick up your guns and fight
1116
01:59:47,914 --> 01:59:49,541
Fight for your freedom
1117
01:59:50,249 --> 01:59:52,547
For once, fight for yourselves
1118
01:59:52,752 --> 01:59:53,548
Fight!
1119
01:59:53,753 --> 01:59:54,720
Come on !
1120
02:00:09,268 --> 02:00:10,394
What's going on here !
1121
02:00:11,604 --> 02:00:12,571
Who sounded the bugle ?
1122
02:00:24,617 --> 02:00:25,743
Mangal, stop
1123
02:00:31,490 --> 02:00:32,422
Mangal... no...
1124
02:00:38,464 --> 02:00:39,931
What the hell do you
think you're doing ?
1125
02:00:40,299 --> 02:00:43,928
A handful of sepoys is no match
for the Rangoon Regiment
1126
02:00:44,136 --> 02:00:45,103
That we shall see
1127
02:00:47,473 --> 02:00:50,772
Then you leave me no choice
1128
02:01:21,340 --> 02:01:22,307
Get the General
1129
02:01:27,346 --> 02:01:28,643
Sir, it's begun
1130
02:03:00,940 --> 02:03:02,237
The British Army
1131
02:03:02,608 --> 02:03:03,575
Rangoon Regiment
1132
02:03:43,149 --> 02:03:44,776
You are completely outnumbered
1133
02:03:45,651 --> 02:03:49,280
Drop your guns and surrender, or die
1134
02:03:52,358 --> 02:03:53,347
lt's too late, Mangal. lt's all over
1135
02:03:53,826 --> 02:03:57,455
All of lndia is looking at us
lf we surrender now...
1136
02:03:57,663 --> 02:04:01,121
the rebellion dies before it is born.
We can't let that happen
1137
02:04:01,333 --> 02:04:02,459
l won't let that happen
1138
02:04:05,337 --> 02:04:07,464
They are far too many,
it's no use. Let's run
1139
02:04:07,673 --> 02:04:10,141
No... no...! - We can't win
1140
02:04:10,342 --> 02:04:13,140
We will win, even if it takes
a hundred years
1141
02:04:14,580 --> 02:04:17,481
Let's run Mangal... please,
or we'll all die !
1142
02:04:26,692 --> 02:04:27,818
Go
1143
02:04:30,029 --> 02:04:31,155
Spread the word
1144
02:04:31,864 --> 02:04:33,661
lt has begun
1145
02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:36,500
Mangal the rebellion needs you !
1146
02:04:38,270 --> 02:04:40,170
The rebellion needs blood
1147
02:04:40,706 --> 02:04:42,173
Let it be mine
1148
02:05:01,060 --> 02:05:04,188
ATTACK !
1149
02:05:09,068 --> 02:05:10,035
Stop
1150
02:05:10,236 --> 02:05:11,203
Don't fire
1151
02:05:11,437 --> 02:05:12,028
Hold your fire
1152
02:05:15,241 --> 02:05:16,367
l want him alive
1153
02:06:17,469 --> 02:06:20,768
To the hospital ! Quick ! He mustn't die
1154
02:06:49,335 --> 02:06:54,136
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1155
02:06:54,807 --> 02:06:59,801
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1156
02:07:00,379 --> 02:07:05,646
The towns are awake, the homes
are abuzz, every village is astir
1157
02:07:05,851 --> 02:07:11,483
Valleys awaken and so do their trees,
look, shadows are coming to life !
1158
02:07:17,363 --> 02:07:21,163
Nana Saheb, Barrackpore has risen
1159
02:07:21,533 --> 02:07:24,161
Soon the fire will spread all across
1160
02:07:24,536 --> 02:07:26,504
But Tatya...
1161
02:07:26,772 --> 02:07:32,335
Make up your mind Nana Saheb.
Seize the moment or perish
1162
02:07:32,544 --> 02:07:38,005
No hand can stem the fire that
rages in people's hearts
1163
02:07:38,217 --> 02:07:43,348
Eyes ablaze and spirits aflame,
no head will ever bow again
1164
02:07:43,589 --> 02:07:49,027
A changed people fill the streets,
marching into death's embrace
1165
02:07:51,063 --> 02:07:53,861
Greetings, Queen Lakshmibai.
- Welcome, Tatya
1166
02:07:56,468 --> 02:07:59,869
The time has come,
earlier than we expected
1167
02:08:00,072 --> 02:08:04,372
Good. Just what
l've been waiting to hear
1168
02:08:04,576 --> 02:08:09,707
Rising like a storm unstoppable,
stirring the land in it's wake
1169
02:08:09,915 --> 02:08:15,217
They swear to crush and finally
end this dark age of tyranny
1170
02:08:18,757 --> 02:08:23,888
l'm an Emperor only in name.
l am weak, what can l do ?
1171
02:08:24,096 --> 02:08:26,223
A giant wave is rising, Your Majesty
1172
02:08:27,599 --> 02:08:31,399
lf we don't swim with it, we'll drown
1173
02:08:32,104 --> 02:08:42,571
Awaken, arise and be blessed.
May all be blessed
1174
02:08:57,963 --> 02:08:59,260
He will live
1175
02:09:12,811 --> 02:09:15,780
There is still hope.
l have spoken to them
1176
02:09:16,815 --> 02:09:19,443
lf you tender a public apology,
they will let you live
1177
02:09:24,490 --> 02:09:30,122
Just say that it was a mistake
and you're sorry that's all
1178
02:09:30,329 --> 02:09:33,127
Or they will hang you
1179
02:09:35,834 --> 02:09:41,966
l am not sorry for my actions
and l am not scared to die
1180
02:09:43,675 --> 02:09:46,473
So they cannot threaten me
or forgive me
1181
02:09:52,584 --> 02:09:53,312
Mangal...
1182
02:09:55,020 --> 02:09:57,147
l don't want you to die
1183
02:09:58,023 --> 02:10:06,488
This is my fault, l let you do this,
l passed on a lie
1184
02:10:09,535 --> 02:10:13,665
Gordon sahib, you did what you
could and l did what l had to
1185
02:10:16,375 --> 02:10:17,842
My blood is not on your hands
1186
02:10:21,713 --> 02:10:30,178
l've come to realise that what
l did and what l must do...
1187
02:10:31,056 --> 02:10:33,684
has nothing to do with
bitting a bullet,
1188
02:10:33,892 --> 02:10:37,692
and nothing to do with the
terror of becoming an outcaste
1189
02:10:40,065 --> 02:10:45,196
l... believed that Nainsukh was
born an untouchable
1190
02:10:53,078 --> 02:10:57,208
Now... we are all untouchables
in our own land
1191
02:11:02,087 --> 02:11:09,391
Gordon sahib, our fight is no longer
against grease on a cartridge,
1192
02:11:11,930 --> 02:11:16,890
it is for our dignity, our freedom,
1193
02:11:18,270 --> 02:11:20,898
our right to hold our head
as high as the next man
1194
02:11:25,944 --> 02:11:32,247
You, the lie, the grease...
1195
02:11:35,621 --> 02:11:42,754
l'd bite the bullet a hundred times
if it would give my freedom
1196
02:11:45,797 --> 02:11:54,603
Mangal for god's sake we have
to stop this thing,
1197
02:11:54,806 --> 02:11:57,434
or there will be terrible bloodshed
1198
02:12:01,647 --> 02:12:03,114
You don't understand
1199
02:12:05,651 --> 02:12:07,278
lndia is rising,
1200
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:10,117
nothing and nobody can stop it,
1201
02:12:11,657 --> 02:12:16,617
not even my life
1202
02:12:28,073 --> 02:12:29,131
Mangal Pandey...
1203
02:12:30,342 --> 02:12:33,311
did you on the 29th of March
incite the other sepoys...
1204
02:12:33,512 --> 02:12:36,970
to rebel against the Company ?
1205
02:12:39,851 --> 02:12:42,149
Who were the others involved
in this conspiracy ?
1206
02:12:47,759 --> 02:12:50,489
On that morning, did you imbibe
any intoxicating drinks ?
1207
02:12:50,696 --> 02:12:51,993
This one called bhang, for instance ?
1208
02:12:55,367 --> 02:12:59,497
Let the record show that the
accused does not deny this
1209
02:13:00,539 --> 02:13:04,873
lt's obvious that the accused
has no interest whatsoever...
1210
02:13:04,943 --> 02:13:06,672
in the proceedings
of this court martial. Therefore...
1211
02:13:07,579 --> 02:13:10,412
we shall have to rely upon
testimonies of the eye witnesses...
1212
02:13:10,582 --> 02:13:14,985
and the officers attacked and wounded
by the accused
1213
02:13:28,400 --> 02:13:32,131
You have known Mangal Pandey
for the past seven years ?
1214
02:13:33,038 --> 02:13:35,836
l have known him sir,
as a brave soldier and a loyal friend
1215
02:13:36,675 --> 02:13:38,700
One of the finest sepoys
to serve under my command
1216
02:13:38,977 --> 02:13:42,936
ls it true that on the 29th of March
he attacked and injured you ?
1217
02:13:43,682 --> 02:13:46,674
l cannot deny what happened sir,
but l would like you to look...
1218
02:13:46,818 --> 02:13:50,720
at the circumstances that led to
his behaviour, - Answer in yes or no...
1219
02:13:51,790 --> 02:13:54,725
Yes but the cartridge controversy
and the subsequent events...
1220
02:13:54,826 --> 02:13:56,225
Yes or no Captain
1221
02:13:56,595 --> 02:13:58,722
Just knowing
what happened is not enough
1222
02:13:58,830 --> 02:14:00,297
You have to understand
why it happened
1223
02:14:00,399 --> 02:14:01,195
Yes or no !
1224
02:14:01,366 --> 02:14:02,162
Yes
1225
02:14:03,068 --> 02:14:06,299
ls it not also true that
he subsequently murdered...
1226
02:14:06,438 --> 02:14:08,906
two of your fellow officers
and injured four others ?
1227
02:14:09,074 --> 02:14:09,904
Yes
1228
02:14:10,242 --> 02:14:11,334
That will be all, Captain
1229
02:14:11,443 --> 02:14:13,001
No, that will not be all !
1230
02:14:15,447 --> 02:14:17,415
You will hear me speak damn it !
1231
02:14:19,918 --> 02:14:22,978
Has this company become so blinded
by arrogance and greed that...
1232
02:14:23,088 --> 02:14:25,249
it cannot see the danger
that stares it in the face ?
1233
02:14:26,425 --> 02:14:29,258
We stand surrounded
by our own army
1234
02:14:29,928 --> 02:14:34,092
300,000 armed native soldiers
so disillusioned by our command,
1235
02:14:34,232 --> 02:14:37,759
that they are on the verge of mutiny.
And what do we do to pacify them ?
1236
02:14:37,936 --> 02:14:39,767
We stoke the fire
of their indignation...
1237
02:14:39,938 --> 02:14:42,839
by laughing at their concerns
or suppressing them with brutality
1238
02:14:43,508 --> 02:14:47,000
But mark my words, if you hang
this man Mangal Pandey...
1239
02:14:47,145 --> 02:14:50,273
there will be rebellion,
bloody rebellion...
1240
02:14:50,582 --> 02:14:52,948
that will sweep
through this land like wildfire
1241
02:14:53,085 --> 02:14:55,781
A rebellion that will lead
to the end of this Company Raj
1242
02:14:55,987 --> 02:14:57,454
Captain, enough !
1243
02:14:57,823 --> 02:15:01,782
Gordon tried his best to save Mangal.
1244
02:15:01,993 --> 02:15:08,125
He warned that if Mangal Pandey was
hanged there would be a bloody rebellion...
1245
02:15:08,333 --> 02:15:10,961
That would put to an end the Company Raj.
1246
02:15:11,837 --> 02:15:15,466
But even this warning fell on deaf ears.
1247
02:15:33,191 --> 02:15:35,659
They failed to hang him this morning
1248
02:15:36,695 --> 02:15:39,323
They have called for a
hangman from Calcutta
1249
02:15:40,265 --> 02:15:43,496
They will hang him in public tomorrow,
1250
02:15:43,869 --> 02:15:45,837
and make a spectacle of his death
1251
02:18:07,512 --> 02:18:12,472
Hearken o' people...
1252
02:18:13,184 --> 02:18:14,310
the drum sounds the call
1253
02:18:14,519 --> 02:18:15,816
Now awake and arise
1254
02:18:16,021 --> 02:18:17,318
From your sleep of ages
1255
02:18:22,527 --> 02:18:30,161
Awaken, now awaken
1256
02:18:31,036 --> 02:18:34,995
The Earth comes alive
as dawn heralds a new day
1257
02:18:35,206 --> 02:18:39,006
Rivers sparkle with new life
and hope rises in oceans anew
1258
02:18:48,720 --> 02:19:19,906
Awaken, now awaken
1259
02:19:20,218 --> 02:19:24,052
Pay heed to this moment in Time,
1260
02:19:24,255 --> 02:19:27,884
though your eyes
disbelieve what they see
1261
02:19:28,093 --> 02:19:31,893
A man is leaving this world of man,
1262
02:19:32,097 --> 02:19:35,897
see his head held proud and high
1263
02:19:36,101 --> 02:19:39,559
Oh how fortunate is the mother,
1264
02:19:39,771 --> 02:19:43,901
who gave birth to such a son
1265
02:19:44,109 --> 02:19:48,239
So fearless, he shall never die,
1266
02:19:48,446 --> 02:19:51,415
even if life is taken from him
1267
02:20:21,813 --> 02:20:24,373
With such dignity does
this rebel take leave
1268
02:20:24,582 --> 02:20:27,107
every head bows in respect
1269
02:20:27,318 --> 02:20:32,517
On his lips the cry of freedom,
his heart's desire for all to see
1270
02:20:32,724 --> 02:20:38,253
His eyes see beyond the present,
the dream of his homeland free
1271
02:20:38,463 --> 02:20:49,465
You can kill a man but not his dream !
1272
02:20:55,513 --> 02:20:57,811
ATTACK !
1273
02:21:20,038 --> 02:21:23,166
ATTACK !
1274
02:22:04,916 --> 02:22:09,046
And so began the bloodiest
rebellion in human history
1275
02:22:09,921 --> 02:22:12,890
The British called it a Sepoy Mutiny
1276
02:22:13,091 --> 02:22:17,721
But for the lndians it was the
first war of independence
1277
02:22:18,763 --> 02:22:23,393
An officer by the name
Captain William Gordon,
1278
02:22:23,601 --> 02:22:25,398
was recorded as having
joined the rebel forces...
1279
02:22:25,770 --> 02:22:27,237
and fought against the Company Raj
1280
02:22:28,439 --> 02:22:31,067
The rebellion was finally
put down after a year...
1281
02:22:31,276 --> 02:22:34,245
but it destroyed the East lndia Company
1282
02:22:34,479 --> 02:22:40,577
And the British Crown took over
the governance of lndia
1283
02:22:42,353 --> 02:22:46,084
Mangal Pandey in his death
became a hero, a legend...
1284
02:22:46,791 --> 02:22:53,924
who inspired a nation to
fight for freedom
1285
02:23:09,981 --> 02:23:15,613
The dream of freedom ignited by
Mangal finally came true 90 years later...
1286
02:23:16,321 --> 02:23:22,157
on 15th August 1947,
when lndia became free.
