HARIDWAR - Ganges River, India

First time in Uttarakhand?

This is "Dev Bhoomi".

Home place of Gods.

God land.

Lord Brahma made beautiful place...

This home.

Many pilgrims coming.

All around the world stay...

...here.

For relax...

For peace...

Divine relax.

Hey, you...

Move it...

Please stop.

Here?

Stop, please!

You know, sir...

Year after, this big disaster.

June 15 rain start.

Coming, coming, no stopping.

But people still live here?

Where they go?

Earthquake, landslide, all wash!

Home...village...

Family, children...

Cows...

All wash... All wash!

My brother-in-law...

Five people family...

All dead!

Gone... Finish!

God Kedarnath very angry!

Kedarnath...

Sir, all this happen two year ago.

News...

TV...

They're saying 10 thousand die.

Only!

But I know!

I know!

Much more!

People dead!

At least 25-30 thousand people!

Dead!

I take!

I take, sir!

Thank you, sir!

Sir, you've got my number.

Sir, you've got my number... Please call anytime.

I come day, night... anywhere, sir.

Even here.

May the Gods bless you.

May the Gods bless you, sir.

How are you, friend?

All good?

- Good day! - Good day!

Who is he?

I don't know.

May I help you?

I'm coming from far.

May I stay here for a few days?

Of course.

Where are you headed?

Kedarnath.

Kedarnath...

Have you been there before?

Yes, when I was young, with my father and elder brother.

Landslides nearly destroyed Kedarnath temple two years ago.

Do you know about it?

Yes, I read about it in the papers.

Are you hungry?

Would you like to eat something?

Come.

Tagore: "Poems"

I am very grateful you've let me stay here.

Take this bed. My assistant will sleep on the ground.

No need, I'll sleep on the ground.

No. You are our guest.

You come from abroad?

I lived in England for over 40 years.

What did you do there?

In the beginning whatever I could find.

Over there it's a struggle for survival.

And here too it's a struggle.

Young people are leaving for bigger cities.

Some go abroad.

Some find their way, others don't.

Villages are becoming empty.

You found your way there.

That is why you stayed so long.

Yes.

Eat now. We'll talk in the morning.

Excuse me. Are you planting rye?

Yes!

Good day.

Sunder, come out here!

There's someone here to see you!

Come out here!

Who?

- Come, Sunder! - Who is it?

Finally!

You've come!

Why?

You want a part in the property?

No.

I've not come for anything.

Then why?

Why've you come?

Father never forgave you.

Not even on his deathbed!

I understand.

How's Priya?

Concerned about our sister, huh?

She's fine.

Did she get anything?

Nothing.

She was married in another village.

What else?

She had a big wedding.

I'm still repaying our father's debts.

What have you done?

You just...

...you ran away.

Rahul!

You've been...

...dead a long time for us!

Don't ever come back!

Give us strenght, O Lord, never to lose conviction of heart.

May we ever tread the right path, and even unknowingly, never commit evil.

May the darkness of ignorance go away and give us the light of knowledge.

May we shun wrongdoings forever and in the bliss we find Thy will be done.

- Your children sing beautifully. - Thank you. And you are?

Rahul Negi. I'm sorry I disturbed your prayer.

It's alright.

I am Shaanti.

I was walking past the school and remembered my childhood.

You studied at this school?

Many years ago.

Oh, yes?

The school is in shambles?

Our roof gave way in the monsoon. The villagers helped us fix it.

- Will it hold up? - We hope so.

You are from here?

No, my grandparents were.

I was born in Kashmir.

So what brought you here?

The former teacher, she resigned. She proposed me the job.

She knew my mother. And here I am.

- This is your first job? - Yes.

This is our Muna.

He's an orphan.

He lived off village charity.

His entire family passed away in the flash flood two years ago.

They were working at the camp beside the river when the flood swept them away.

This little guy was miraculously saved, because he was at the school.

I take care of him now.

We get along well. Right, little brother?

I can see that.

I'd better get going.

Are you staying in this village?

For a few days.

Stop by for tea, if you have time.

I have plenty of time.

I'll go now.

Go and tell your teacher I will come tomorrow.

You speak Garwali?

Go, run off now.

Teacher, teacher! He speaks Garwali!

Teacher!

Master.

Are you going to allow him...

...to play that flute here?

It's a bad omen.

The crops will be ruined.

You are Rahul Negi, aren't you?

Yes.

Why have you come back?

Soon I will lose my sight forever.

The doctors said there's no cure for me.

I wanted to see my village and the Himalaya one last time.

You wanted to marry Maya, a Vaadi dancer.

That's why you're losing your sight.

Her father cursed you...

...to lose your sight.

Did you know that?

He cursed you...

...when you left.

So that you would never set your eyes on a Vaadi girl again.

I don't believe in those superstitions.

Take the goats out, son.

Who's there?

Who are you looking for?

It's me, Balbir!

Rahul!

Some people said you were back.

But...

...I didn't believe them.

- Is that your son? - Yes.

You have more kids?

Yes, two daughters.

They're married.

I have grandkids too!

You?

Have any?

I never got married.

Son, take the goats!

Let's go! Come with me!

I often thought of you while abroad.

I never came across a better friend.

Yes!

We were friends.

Were?

Listen, Rahul.

I don't know why you've come back.

But it would be better if you left right now.

There is a commotion in the village.

Old men who remember everything...

...asked me if I still defended you.

They asked me...

...if I still defended a murderer.

Murderer?

That's what they call you.

Come with me!

C'mon!

- Come! - Where are you taking me?

Just come!

Here!

Remember this sickle?

You were reckless. You threw it away and ran.

I picked it up...

...and hid it under my shirt.

I've been hiding it all over for 40 years.

Let it remain here.

Wait.

I went to see your parents...

But...

Asha.

The school is here...

You can come whenever, yes?

But I want to study!

I want to become a good teacher like you.

I don't want to be married!

No, Asha.

I don't want to get married!

I went to speak to your parents.

You know their situation...

They also want you to study...

But...

Then why are they doing this to me?

- Am I intruding? - No, it's all right.

This is Asha.

She just turned seventeen, and she's getting married on Monday.

She's my best student.

- She wanted to go to college, but... - I know.

Women in these mountains have a difficult life.

My mother and my sister never went to school.

Education serves no purpose. It may even be a burden.

But you're an educated, independent woman.

My father was a principal in an army school.

It's all due to his support...

Otherwise...

...I also would have been...

Sorry I called you for tea, but...

Don't worry.

I'll come another day.

Good day.

Muna.

See you soon.

I'm very angry with Ganga.

Why?

It took my whole family.

I... I...

I can speak to the spirits.

You?

Can you speak to them?

Sometimes.

Come!

You know...

I speak to my mother, father, and sister.

I'll show you.

Mother!

Did you hear?

Did you?

Did you hear?

Did you?

Muna!

- Are you hungry? -Yes.

- You want "roti"? - No, "chow mein".

- They make it here? - Yes.

Let's go.

There's teacher.

I'd like to say something.

Don't take it personally, but...

Don't come to the school any more.

It's very difficult for me to convince the parents...

...to send their kids to school.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to add my problems to yours.

Everyone in this village is against you.

They were against me too when I came.

- And I went from door to door... - I understand.

I'm sorry.

I didn't intend it...

...to happen like this.

I'll not bother you anymore.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Oh, ye high mountains, bend down low

That I may see the land of my parents.

Oh, ye thick pine trees, part aside

That I may see the land of my parents.

One last time.

Oh, ye high mountains, bend down low

That I may see the land of my parents.

Oh, ye thick pine trees, part aside

That I may see the land of my parents.

One last time.

Priya!

Priya!

I knew one day you would come back.

It's hot.

Why did all of this have to happen?

What is bound to happen...

...will happen.

Sunder disagrees.

I shouldn't say this...

But Sunder and his wife...

...are very greedy.

They only think of themselves.

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's why you're like this...

You're still limping.

This is your brother-in-law.

If you'd known him, you'd have gotten along very well.

Come. Come in.

This is uncle Rahul.

Say hello.

They are not used to guests.

Ever since both sons left...

...no one comes to visit.

I have three more grandkids from my elder son.

He is in the army in Bangalore.

Just like his father.

My younger son, Satish, works in a big hotel in Delhi.

I look after his kids and wife.

Everybody says he looks like you.

He's more handsome than me.

And smarter.

Once Satish comes back with savings...

...we'll buy some land.

Until then...

...I'm just a sharecropper.

You got compensation from the army?

With that we built the house.

Pension is good enough.

Quiet!

You know...

...the president posthumously bestowed the gallantry award.

I went for that.

But the land they promised has not yet been given.

I waited for two years, but no more.

Calm down now!

I am the bride of a warrior family.

I won't beg.

This is my daughter-in-law.

I've got some savings.

I don't need it.

If you want, you can buy some land.

You've always been stubborn.

Different.

I am like that, and I will never change.

I would be very happy if...

No!

It's time for a bath now, my babies.

You know...

...I never opposed you like others.

You never meant to harm anyone.

You just...

...listened to your heart.

May I?

Let me.

Rahul, what's wrong?

Are you alright?

Take this medicine.

Medicine will not help.

It's a special tea.

Drink it!

Whenever I have a headache, it helps.

Forty years...

You vanished...

...like you got lost in the wind.

Rumor was that the police had arrested and killed you.

But I knew...

...you were alive.

Not once did I doubt this.

Forty years...

I never called anyone.

I wanted to forget everything forever.

Forever.

I wanted to change and become someone else.

Could you become someone else?

Could you?

Any news of Maya?

I knew you would ask.

She lives in an abandoned house beyond the village.

It's more of a stable.

She moved there after you left...

...and never came back.

Her family rejected her.

I've heard she's gone mad.

Don't go to see her.

Leave it, please.

Still scared of the dark?

Good night.

Are you looking for someone?

Maya lives here?

Yes.

Would you call her?

She doesn't meet anyone.

You look after her?

Yes. I am Darshani.

You dance beautifully.

Just like Maya did.

She taught you?

Yes.

And...?

You are Rahul Negi?

Bad news travels fast.

May I go in?

Maya.

Do you recognize me?

Please, look at me.

I...

I am losing my sight.

Soon I'll be blind.

I...

I'll never be able to see your face again.

Look at me, Maya.

Aunty?

Sorry.

Darshani.

I met a guy from Bangladesh.

The owner of "Laal Quilaa" restaurant.

He gave me my first job.

Two years as a dish washer.

Then I became a cook.

A cook!

I am chief cook!

He taught me a lot of things.

He taught me to read good books.

Have you...?

Have you heard of Tagore?

He was a great poet.

A very great poet.

But why didn't you get married?

Eileen.

There was an Irish girl.

We had a relationship.

She wanted to marry me.

I told her we were just friends.

But I could never marry her.

One day, we had a few drinks...

...and I told her all about Maya.

I said I could never forget Maya.

She got upset and left me.

She left forever.

But, tell me one thing.

Why have you been hiding the sickle for forty years?

I don't know.

I was hiding it because...

...every time I hid it...

...I felt I was protecting you.

- Really? - Yes.

Are you going to tolerate this drunk?

Do not pass judgment.

Learn to understand a human being.

Today, we have gathered...

...to talk about an important issue.

Although the issue is quite old...

...the circumstances...

...have forced us to talk about it again.

Rahul Negi.

Forty years ago you attacked his father,

the village head at that time,

with a sickle.

Right?

You were drunk?

Yes.

He tried to kill him.

Luckily, my father survived.

I didn't want to kill him.

I was very angry.

Everyone was against my marriage

and appeared to be my enemy.

Even...

...my own father.

And my family.

Everyone.

It's because of your misdeeds.

You brought shame on our family.

You knew very well that you could not marry Maya.

She is a Vaadi, the lowest caste...

She danced to entertain others.

Has anyone from our warrior caste ever married an "untouchable"?

I would have married her if she'd agreed to leave with me.

You didn't leave.

You ran away scared of the police.

I wasn't scared of anyone...

...except of you and your evil thoughts.

I...

...I did everything to protect our family's honor.

It would have been better if I had killed you that day.

Before my father died, he forgave him that attack.

And I forgave him too.

Can't you forgive him?

He's your brother.

He's your blood.

The guilty must be punished.

Oh, yes?

You should be punished then.

Why me?

Why?

Didn't you try to kill Rahul too?

Fortunately the bullet only hit his leg.

Leave it.

Ok, I'll leave it.

Tell me one thing, your son and others...

...married white girls in America.

Does anyone know what caste they belong to?

Listen...

I know that...

...I am a simpleton.

But I know that the world has risen above castes.

Nobody cares anymore.

But we are still stuck in this rut.

You mean all the values of our ancestors are worthless?

Enough!

I think the family property should remain with Sunder.

You'll never change.

Never.

I'd like to tell you all...

He never had...

...and never will have a better friend than me!

You do as you please!

What is your opinion?

May I say something?

I don't want to be the cause of any disturbance in this village.

Tomorrow I'll leave forever.

May the Gods bless you...

Master!

Master!

Master!

A disaster.

Tell me.

A very bad thing has happened.

She's killed herself.

Asha?

Asha.

Why have you come here?

Get lost!

You put all this in her head.

Hey, sister of ours!

Hey, sister of ours!

Are you leaving?

Yes.

Asha wasn't the first one.

I've heard these stories...

...but I never believed them.

I still can't believe that...

But I'll never leave.

They can't chase me away.

I came to stay.

And I will stay!

You are leaving?

Where are you going?

I'm going...

...where Heaven meets Earth.

You look after your teacher!

- Deal? - Deal!

Thank you.

It'll be done on time.

KEDARNATH temple

Look who's there!

So, Muna...

You see...

...Heaven and Earth do meet here!
