Send 30 kilos of sweet balls.

- Huh? 30 kilos?
- Yes.

What? Are you getting married?

It's sure to happen.

Ofcourse, in the next ten years.
On this same date.

Stop kidding.. Talk sense Ganesh...

Chaube Uncle is coming tomorrow
for Republic day celebrations.

- I see.
- Send them.

- Chaube Uncle is coming?
- Yes.

Here, take this one kilo especially for him.

These sweet balls are made of pure butter.

Laddu. Look, I learned to write my own name.

Okay?

Hey, scavenger!

I've told you so many
times not to stand there.

The first thing you do in the morning
is come here. Go away..!

- Let it be.
- You scavenger!

Scavenger!
Scavenger! Scavenger! Scavenger!

Who are you calling a Scavenger?
Get Lost!

- Scavenger! Scavenger!
- Scavenger! Scavenger!

- Shut up!
- Mithu.

- Take him inside.
- Mithu.

If you use such language with
childrens they will reply in the same.

You sell sweets. Speak sweetly.

Else these very kids will pull down
your shop shutters someday.

Don't you know it is against the law
to call someone a scavenger.

To hell with the law, Teacher.
I'm only concerned with selling my sweets.

This very law will
send you to hell someday.

You will pay for it when you
get embroiled with the law.

'To hell with the law.'

Guthlee! Where are you going?

Come, Laddu. Come.

- These sweet balls.
- Yes.

- Put them in the cupboard.
- Greetings, sir.

Be happy!
Hey, Manu. Come here.

Is this the time to come to school?
You are late.

We had Laxmi pooja at our house.

So?

So mother asked me to eat a
little before coming to school.

Son, tell your mother to let you
focus on the Goddess of education...

...instead of the Goddess of wealth.

With education, wealth will come to you.

Is that so?

Go. Go.

Hurry up. Run!

Let's go, teacher. Even you are late.

They are kids.

But you were teaching them to come early.

- Wanna go?
- Where?

What did you bring?

- Laddu, you want to eat sweet balls?
- Yes.

But you must study first.
Then you will get those sweet balls.

Yes.

"Our India is the best in the world."

"Our India is the best in the world."

"We are Indians. Our country is India."

Filthy chaps! You're back!

Get lost! You have
made our lives miserable.

Come on. Sing.

"We are Indians. We are Indians."

Didn't I teach you?
Well? You didn't pay attention.

Who will tell me?

Okay, children,
I shall ask you some questions...

...about everything
that I taught you just now.

Why do stars twinkle in the sky?

Manu.

You tell me.

Why do stars twinkle in the sky?

Why? What's the matter?

Didn't I teach you?
Well? You didn't pay attention.

Who will tell me?

Guthlee, you will fall inside
the class if you raise your arm so high.

Anyway, come on.
Tell us. Why do stars twinkle in the sky?

Because of the atmosphere.

Well done! Very good!

You see? All of you sit in the
class and yet your minds are outside...

...whereas Guthlee is outside
and yet his mind is inside.

He answered correctly.

Light from the stars comes
to us through the atmosphere.

What is this wretched chap doing here?

I told you so many times
not to permit him in school.

I am a man, not a ghost
who can keep an eye everywhere.

Ghanu, go in from
here and catch him. Okay?

I'll catch him from the other side.

- Don't let them get away today.
- Yes.

- Let's go and have sweet balls.
- Let's go.

You imp! Stop!

Stop!

Stop. Manu! Catch that boy.

Don't let him get away.

Catch him!

Manu!

Catch him, Ganesh.

That boy got away once again.

Where is my lunch box?

- The box of sweets?
- Huh?

Atmosphere.

Atmosphere.

"Don't be conceited about those mansions."

"Don't be conceited about those mansions."

"The mansions will be in ruins someday."

"The mansions will be in ruins someday."

"Don't be conceited about those mansions."

"The mansions will be in ruins someday."

Look over there.

Hey, Guthlee.

Why don't you listen to me?

Come. Come home.

Come quickly or I will beat
the hell out of you.

Lord knows why they left
the ruins of the old school.

My son goes there all the time.

I wonder when he will learn
to work with his father.

Your son likes to study but mine...

...he hovers next the
sweet shop like a fly.

Laddu.

What happened?
Why are you laughing so much?

- Budhiya.
- Yes.

I have to go to...
after finishing up work here.

- Yes. The gutter in the market?
- Yes.

Throw the cigarette!

Dump it and come back quickly.

Go.

This chap!

Take that.

- Stop. Stop.
- Okay.

Budhiya.

Guthlee likes this cycle very much.

It is lying here corroding.

Shall I try asking for it?

Do you think they will give it to you?

No harm trying...

Hey! Hey!

What have you done?

Don't you have any sense?

How dare you touch the cycle?

Now, we'll have to scrub
it hard to clean it.

You should think first about your
caste and whose things you touching.

Take this.

Where are you going without
returning the balance money?

Return the balance 20 rupees.

Ma'am, we gave up the contractor's
job to come and do your work.

Surely, we deserve 50 rupees.

Look, the work you did doesn't fetch you
more than 30 rupees. Return my 20 rupees.

The notes have been touched by me.
How do I give it to you?

It is wealth. Wealth can never be soiled.

- Go on. Put the change down.
- Okay.

There.

- Call me again.
- Yes. Alright.

Greetings, teacher.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Here's your bag, teacher.

Come along.

- Greetings, teacher.
- Greetings, my girl.

- Greetings, teacher.
- Greetings.

- Greetings, teacher.
- Bless you!

- Greetings, teacher.
- Greetings. Greetings. Everything okay?

How are you?

All good.

Mother.

Mother. Why did you leave me, mother?

Who will I call mother hereafter?

Look at that.

Don't watch so much TV.
You will get cataract in your eyes.

The cataract is in your head.
It doesn't happen due to watching TV.

'It doesn't happen due to watching TV.'

Don't watch TV for so long.
Why do you do it?

O Ram! What have you done?

Have you been demoted to the post
of a cook from your Principal post?

Mother, as it is the
scavenger's son irritated me...

...so please don't make it worse for me.

Gross! The scavenger's son?
Did you catch him?

No, ma'am. He could not catch him.

The boy was very fast. I caught
him but the boy got out of my grip.

- You caught him?
- Yes. With my hands.

- With your hands?
- Tell her. Yes, with my hands.

- Get lost!
- Go.

You better have a shower.

Why should I have a shower?
I did not touch him.

I am going to bring your medicine.

Get my medicine. You show
as if you are very concerned.

I remain alone all day long.
Someday, you will find me dead.

Well done, Kamini!
Now your secret will remain intact.

You poisoned your mother-in-law
and killed her last night, right?

Shh. Don't tell anyone.

Do you know that Kamini killed
her mother-in-law by poison last night?

Who is Kamini?
Whose daughter-in-law poisoned whom?

Oh! What is it called?

Yes. Kamini from the serial
'Who is she married to?'

Stop watching that poison!

Take your medicine.

Forget the medicine.
Did you bring plums for me?

Have you seen your teeth?

'Did you bring plums for me?'

Sure, I don't have teeth
but my tongue is fit and fine.

Sweet and sour plums.

Mother, you are talking too much.

Come on. Get some sleep.

Come on, now lie down.

Let go of me.
I missed my serial because of you.

Go away!

'Who is she married to?'

Continue watching that.
'Who is she married to?'

Why don't you listen to me?

Why don't you listen to me?

So many times I have
told you not to go there...

...but you always go there.

Why are you hitting the boy?
He will get hurt.

He doesn't get hurt.
He wouldn't go there if he got hurt.

- Why are you hitting him?
- Why don't you listen to me? Come on.

Listen.

Come on.

Get in.

I will break your legs
if you go to school again!

I want to study, mother!

Why were you born to
me if you wanted to study?

You should have been born
to someone in the upper caste.

How would that matter?

Then you could have gone to school.
You could have studied.

You wouldn't have to work
as a scavenger like your father.

Scavenger?

What is a scavenger?

We are scavengers by caste.

People like us who clean dirt and filth
are called scavengers.

- Even shopkeeper Mithu cleans his shop.
- Yes.

- Is he a scavenger too?
- Not at home, boy.

Any person who cleans outside
the house is called a scavenger.

That means he is a scavenger
in his home and we are scavengers outside.

How do I explain it to you?

Why are you mother and son arguing?

You have come at the right time.

Ask your father.

Ask me what you want to know.
I shall tell you.

For you.

Ask.

Father, is a person who
cleans his house a scavenger?

Only your mother can answer your question.

Where are you going?

I have to pay money to Budhiya.

I forgot to give it to him.

Sure!

Now listen carefully, I will beat the shit
out of you if you go to the school again.

This boy and his father!
What do I do with them?

People like that live longer than us.

What is this?

Look. The potato got charred.

My luck has turned to ashes and you
are concerned about the potato.

- My whole life...
- Hold on. Hold on.

You've told me this story
a dozen of times.

You want to say, what is life? Its your
scooter taking a walk around the lake.

Huh?

Tell me something, teacher.

I've been meaning to ask
you something for many days now.

You were born in an upper caste family.

- Right?
- Right.

Your ancestors were priests
in that big temple.

You have such a sweet mother.

Okay. Never mind.. Not mother.

You have everything in your life.

But what did you actually want to be?
With that helmet over the head.

- What is it called? Mascot.
- Astronaut!

Exactly, teacher.

'Exactly, teacher.'

Becoming an astronaut is no small feat.

My family said to me, stop wasting
your time thinking about NASA, son.

You are the son of a priest.

You don't want to go to the
moon and write us a letter from there.

Stay here and manage
the local moon and stars.

Make birth charts.

Be an astrologer.

That's it.

They made me do what
I did not want to do...

...and they wouldn't let
me do what I wanted to do.

I ended up becoming a
teacher at the end of the day.

Now I am watching the moon
and stars with the bedsheet on me.

- Father.
- Hmm.

The stars twinkle because
of the atmosphere.

But where do they get their light from?

Tell me, father.

Where do they get it?

Hey! Come on inside.

You have to go to work in the morning
and watch stars during the day too.

Come on.

Come. Your mother is calling.

That's it.

Tell me, father.

Why do the stars twinkle in the sky?
Say something.

Budhiya, my son asks weird questions.

Why stars are twinkling
in the atmosphere?

These questions are
beyond my knowledge.

Budhiya, do you have
any idea about the atmosphere?

I know nothing besides my work.

Give it.

Give us two cups of tea.

15 days.

And 12 days of this month.

How many times have I've said...

How do we run the house, Mangroo?

It's difficult.

How dare you touch it?

You soiled everything...
You dirty wretch...

Hey, brother.

Hey, brother.

Don't hit him. He will die.
He will die, brother.

- Get up.
- Forgive him.

Leave him. Let go off him.

He made a mistake. Forgive him.

Don't hit him.

Don't hit him, brother.

Glory to Mother Land of India!

Glory to Mother Land of India!

Glory to Mother Land of India!

Glory to the Mother Land!

Glory to the Mother Land!

Constitution came into
effect from this day.

Our constitution gives
us right to equality.

What does it give us?

The equal rights.

And it gives us the
right to education.

Children, today I have
a good news for all of you...

Our school will turn
into a higher secondary school now.

Now, you won't have to go out
for your further studies.

You can continue your
study in this same school.

Education is the
path to development.

All the children
have right to education.

And I'd like to tell you all that...

...with this right.

Then give admission to all.

Why do you stop me?

Throw him out.

- Stop.
- Stop.

Come.

Come, India's Vivekananda.

Come.

What's your name, son?

Guthlee.

Nice name.

Guthlee has proven
that the constitution...

...has also given us
the freedom of speech.

Very nice.

Why don't you give
him the admission?

We can't...

Why can't you?

His uncle is here.

And you dare to deny
him the admission?

You must give him the admission.

Sir, he's untouchable.

Go, son. Go.

You will get the admission.

Couldn't you tell me this earlier?

- I want to give you some good news.
- No lower cast should come here.

Let me warn you.

Children, bye.

Happy Republic day!

Bhagwandas! Badake! Lallan! Chhote!

These people didn't
come to work even yesterday.

They've got attitude.

I will de-register
their names forever.

Tomorrow, both of you go
to the hospital at the crossroad.

Budhiya.

You start working on
the toilet from tomorrow.

Hello, sir.

How did you get this injury?

It's nothing. Nothing, sir.

Did you injure
yourself while working?

Or did you get into a scuffle?

It's nothing. Nothing, sir.

Tell me the truth.

I accidentally touched the glass
of the higher class at the tea stall...

It was my mistake.

Dubey.

Come here.

Give him some tea.

No.. no, sir.

Dubey, give him the tea.

I said give him the tea.

No.. no, sir.

Take it.

Don't be afraid. Take it.

Take it.

Take it, don't worry.

Drink it.

Drink it. Come on.

Sir, I am taking
because you are insisting.

Otherwise, I'd never
make this mistake. I am sorry.

Don't be scared.

We are not much different.

Because I got my education and
I studied well that I became an officer.

Otherwise, I too would have been like you.

Sir, Naresh Thakur has come to see you.

Bye...

- Hello!
- Pleased to meet you.

We will enjoy working with you.

This is that house.

- Which one?
- Here.

- Does he live here?
- Yes.

This is a limit.

If he was my son...

This is his house.

What happened now.

Has he entered the school again?

Has he committed a crime?

No, he will tell you.

He has suffered.
Tell her, sir. Tell her the problem.

What will he tell?

I know my son.

Let him return home today,
I will peel off his skin.

No, listen.

it's not good to hit a child.

Do not hit him.

Sir, if I won't hit him now,
he will kick me in the future.

I told him we are from the lower class.

We have to clean the toilets.

Why insist on studies?

Sometimes he sings the poems.

And sometimes the patriotic songs.

Sometimes mathematics numbers.

He keeps saying what not.

He murmurs at night.

He says stars and moons, and atmo...

Atmosphere.

- Atmosphere.
- Yes, he says all this.

He has turned my life into hell.

From one school to the other...

Second.. which second school?

To the ruins of the old school.

The one that's next
to Ram Sujan's farm?

Yes. I am 've lost my mind
in all this.

Oh, I forgot to serve
you water in all this.

Wait a minute.
I will bring water for you.

She suffers a lot.

Let's go, sir. Or else she
will insist us on drinking water.

Let's go.

Let's go. Come on. Fast.

Sir.. sir...

Sir, have some water at least.

- Later.
- Hey...

Listen to me. I will come later.

That's right.

You won't accept water from me.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Open your eyes.

See I've brought you fruits.

Take a look.

I had forgotten it.

Now, you've forgotten it, mom.

Mom.

Sir, she's no more.

Just a minute.

Mom.

Hello!

Tomorrow the school
will remain closed.

Sir's mother is no more.

Holiday cancel.

Mom, you scared me.

I won't die so soon.

Few more years are still left in my life.

My starts are in a very good position.

Your stars were not
in the right position.

You were lucky to be
born in Pandit's house .

Otherwise, you would have
remained a teacher only.

And never become a headmaster.

No, mom. It's due to my caliber
that I am made me a principal.

My education.

I've introspected myself, mom.

Only then I became a principal.

Oh, you introspected..?
within yourself..?

If you weren't Bajpayee,
Chaube wouldn't have...

...allowed you to
become a head master.

This is wrong, mom.

No, I am not wrong, it's the fact.

You're doubting my calibre.

No, not at all.

Where are you going?

Where's the fruit?

Here they are.

Fruits. Mom. enjoy.

Where are you going now?

Come here, Shankar.

Shankar Maharaj, come here.

What's it now?

Give that piece of cloth.

Pick it up.

Bring it near my face.

Where are you going now?

Can your son go and throw the seeds out?

No, my son will not.

Instead sow this
seed in the backyard.

It will grow into a tree.

Then it will bear fruits
and I will not have to...

...plead at you to get me fruits.

And, who will climb the tree?

Oh God! Who will climb the tree?

I wish I had grandchildren.

You didn't get married.

You escape every time
I talk about your marriage.

That sir told them to give
me admission in the school.

But I don't think Hari is right.

He will try to stop him.

But I won't let that happen.

Look there.

What happened, Guthlee?

Where's Guthlee?

Must be somewhere around...

He's always found in the ruins.

What's the matter?

Did you get your
pay from the contractor?

Will get it next week.

Next week?

Why?

What type of a man is he?

He never pays on time.

That reminds me.

Today I had gone to the government
office to meet the contractor.

For the first time in my life
I saw an officer from our caste.

What?

There a peon from the upper class.

...served me tea.

- What are you saying?
- Yes, It's a fact.

You know how he became an officer?

How?

By studying.

Only education earns you respect.

Raniya.

I am thinking of educating our Guthlee.

What did you say?

Why do you stare at me?

Where will he study?

The government school has shut down.

And the other school
is seven miles away.

Across the canal.

I won't send Guthlee that far.

This year Kamla's
son drowned in the canal.

We will educate him here only.

In Chaube's school.

Chaube's schoo?

That school is for
the upper class people.

The peon came today
from the school...

...to complain that Guthlee
barges in their school everyday.

I should stop him.

And you're dreaming of taking
his admission in that school.

Have you lost it?

Hey, Raniya.

- I've decided.
- What?

Guthlee will go to school.

I will talk to the teacher.

You're a goner.

- I will talk to the teacher.
- Take this.

cut the veggies.

Guthlee will go to school.

I had given you the leave application.

Did you give it to the headmaster?

It will be done.
It's with me. Don't worry.

Who is getting married?

My sister is getting married.

Your sister is like my daughter.
Don't worry.

I will give it.

- Give it fast.
- Yes, sure.

What's it Mangru?

Dad!

I was calling you since a long time.

But you never turn up.

Go and clean the toilet...
It's clogged now.

I will do it later.

Today, I've come to
talk to the principal.

Where's he?

Good morning, teacher.

Hey, how come you're here?

Sir, I want admission for my son
Guthlee in this school.

Your son Guthlee?

Yes.

- In this school?
- Yes.

Do you know that the annual fee
of this school is worth Rs. 3000.

2000 to 3000 will be
spent on books and uniform.

Total 6000 to 7000
will be spent annually.

Will you be able to afford?

If I can get some concession...

This isn't my shop.

The rules are set by the
higher authorities for all.

And without informing the higher
authorities I can't take any step.

Chaube ji is responsible for it.
He will do everything. Okay?

Okay.

What were you talking about?

There's an application.

Which application?

- His sister is getting married.
- Sir.

I will arrange the fees somehow.

I will...

You will?

Yes, you just give admission to
Guthlee from the next academic year.

- How will you arrange?
- I will...

Hey, stay there. Stay there.

It will be done. I will see to it.

Don't come near.

It will be done.

It will be done. Now, go.

- It's in his mind now.
- It will be done.

Go. Go, Mangroo, he understood.

Have you lost your mind, sir?

Will you give admission to Guthlee?

He's an untouchable.

What do I do?

How do I tell that father
that I can't give his son...

...the admission because
they are untouchables.

What if he arranges the fees?

Even then he won't
get the admission.

Yet Chaube won't give him the admission.

Because the boy is an untouchable.

You're too much.

No one can understand you.

I am going.

I will give this.

Why do you let
anybody take an entry?

Isn't there a gate?

Liar! Youo are a Liar...
You lied to my father...

I also have the uniform.

Still you are not
allowing me in the school.

Is it because we are untouchables?

Untouchables means bad.

- But we are not bad.
- No.. no...

You're not bad.

Untouchables are not bad.

Untouchable means every
being is created by God.

Lie!

You're Hari.

If I am your creation...

...you would have
allowed me to study.

I want to study. Nothing else.

You're bad.
Because you're stopping me.

I told you earlier to take Guthlee to work.

We will earn a little more money.

I have talked to someone.
Guthlee will get admission in a school.

I will earn the money.

Hari is lying, father.

He will not admit me in school.

What did I tell you?

I've personally spoken to the Head master.

Why would such a big man tell a lie?

Big men tell big lies.

Shut up! How do you
know he is telling lies?

I heard it myself.

You went to school again?

Huh?

Where did you get this shirt?

Don't you understand
anything if you are told once?

Don't go there until you get admission...

...in the school. Get it?

Listen to your mother!

Even I listen to her.

I am the one who has to do.

Look at this.

Siddhanth Deshmukh.

He shut down the school
owned by the Minister of Azamgarh.

Neither does he give
in nor can he be bought.

He could come to our school any time.

Really?

We don't have the 25 percent
reservation in our school...

...that the Government mandates.

If he finds out our
school will surely be shut.

Sir, if you are done with
the post-mortem of the problem...

...shall we talk about the solution?

May I offer a solution, sir?

Yes.

Let's admit 10-12 untouchable
children in our school.

Everyone will benefit from it.

- Amazing!
- Thank you.

Huh!

Your brain has rusted from
driving your rusted Lambretta.

What about the fact that
we will lose the temple contract?

You want to be a Advocate
for the untouchables..?

I have an idea, uncle Chaube.

We shall change the names
of some of the kids in our school...

...and nobody will know.

Amazing idea!

Wow! Wow! Very good!

Thank you, uncle Chaube.

Wonderful! We just have to
change the names of 10-12 kids...

...in the register.

Look. 'New generation.' 'Politics.'

You are great, sir.

Please be gracious to us always.

Uncle Chaube's slogan...
...the entire country is ours.

'Like hell the country is ours.'

'All the money is ours.'

Did you say something?

Excuse me?

No.

Yes, brother.
I'll be there in two minutes.

Greetings, sir.

Sir, greetings.

If you would give me...

Yes.

Money. Money.

Sir, this is for last month.

If you could give me this month's...

You want to be paid for this month too?

You put my job aside
and clean people's toilets.

Don't they pay you there?

I only do that sometimes
when I have free time.

My house runs when I earn a little money.

You were supposed to work on the Hospital
street day before yesterday.

Did you do it?

It will be done tomorrow, sir.

I will fire you if
it is not done tomorrow.

Then you can continue
to clean people's crap.

No-No-No, sir.
It will be done. It will be done.

Sir. Sir.

What is it?

I am going to get my
son admitted to school.

I am saving money for that.

You could have found a better excuse.

For example, my wife and kids are dying.

'You want to educate your child.'

Sir, this...

This is not an excuse.

I am telling the truth, sir.

Dhanni. Our Laddu is grown up now.

I was thinking I should take
him to work with me every day.

That way I will earn some extra money...

...and my Laddu will get
one sweet ball every day.

Right, Laddu? You want it na, son?

One sweet ball every day.

- A big one.
- Yes.

But the drain smells dirty.

Smell? What smell?

I don't get any smell.

Your whole body smells dirty.

Whose body smells dirty?
My body doesn't smell.

Ask your mother.

Dhanni, tell Laddu.

It has been so many
years since we got married.

Did I ever smell?

- You do smell.
- Shut up!

He was about to listen to me now.

I was talking to him, wasn't I?
So why did you...

Don't take him.

Don't take him to work.
He is still young.

He is young? He is young?

In a couple of years
he will become taller than me.

I used to clean all the drains
in the village when I was his age.

Alone.

- Ask mother. Right, mother?
- Yes.

Laddu. Let's go to play.

Go.

No.

Starting today I shall
go to work with father...

...and earn money.

Dhanni. Our Laddu is really grown up.

Why, you?

You lit a cigarette again?

Is she my mother or a CCTV camera?

Hey Ram! Is it an earthquake?

Hey, Hari!

I will continue to trouble you
this way until you admit me to school.

I only released a frog today.

Tomorrow I shall release a crocodile.

Wait there! Wait!

Wait! Don't go!

Kids these days!

Tiwari?

Yes, Tiwari.

What?

- Brother.
- Hmm.

Arrangements have been made
for God's worship.

Nothing is lacking in the arrangements.

I don't want anything lacking.

I only come outside
the temple once a year...

...to present myself
for those untouchables.

I see.

Yes. What is it?

I received a call from the
Education Department in Lucknow.

Yes. He informed me 4-5
Officials will be coming here.

You are always inviting trouble.

Will the situation ever remain in control?

It is completely under control.
I have taken over everything.

Do not worry. Please come over there.
I am already on my way.

Okay. I'm coming.

Puncture?

Dinesh. Listen to me.

I hope those kids from
the colony are ready.

Yes, bring them quickly. Officials
are coming from Lucknow tomorrow.

Do you understand?

Give them tea and biscuits.
I am on my way.

Hello, son.

- Menace!
- Let go of me.

Teacher!

He is very naughty.

I have a flat tire here
and you are bringing him here.

He is the one who punctured the tire.

- What shall I do with him?
- Let him go.

I caught him with such difficulty
and you're telling me to let him go.

I told you to let him go! Beat it!

- Beat it!
- Go!

Give me a push.

'Push.'

An entire team is coming from Lucknow.

Oh, teacher! I don't understand you.

Come on. Give me the bag.

- You pull it.
- Here. Hold this.

Hari always tried to catch me.
He tried to spank me.

He wouldn't let me study.
So, how did he let me go today?

He got scared.

- Of me?
- Not you. Me.

I pushed two kids in school the other day.

He got scared because he saw that.

Laddu. Let's go to work, son.

Let's go. Come. Come.

Come. Come. Hold this.

The contractor knows
that we do other jobs.

He was fuming.

Let's hope we don't lose
this job and the other job.

How will we manage
our house expenses then?

- Take this, son.
- From where is he giving us the money?

He is very cunning.

Easy.
Yes.

- Budhiya.
- Yes.

I am thinking of enrolling
Guthlee in school.

- In school?
- Yes.

- Guthlee?
- Yes.

And what will he do in school?

Increase your expenses.

Look at me, Mangru.
My Laddu has started working.

My income has increased
a little and he is enjoying.

- Right, Laddu?
- Yes.

Go, my boy. Put this in the bin.

I will do whatever it takes but
I will surely enroll Guthlee in school.

Take my advice.

Even you should enroll Laddu in school.

No, brother. No. This is
my Laddu's school hereafter. Get it?

Easy.

Take this, son.

The same old mentality.

My dear, you must get first prize
in the school's fancy dress competition.

You must recite what I taught you.

Don't be afraid.

What will you say?

I will not surrender my Jhansi.

Only I will win.

- Really?
- Yes.

And couldn't you find another costume?

Couldn't you come dressed
as Spiderman or Superman?

Just like those two did.

I wore this because he gave it to me.

Oh! What is he doing over here?

Hey! Who let you come here?
Come on. Get out!

Go and clean the drains.

I want to watch.

- Teacher, tell us which program will be next.
- Thank you.

After that fabulous dance we
present to you fancy dress competition.

Here. Give it to him.

Scavengers have no business being here.

- Leave me... Let me go.
- Get out! Go and clean drains.

Out! Come on. Get out!

Chand Chaturvedi.

Don't you dare touch me! Understand?

Else I too will hit you.

You scavenger! Scavenger! Scavenger!

Scavenger! Scavenger! You are a scavenger!

He calls me a scavenger all the time.

And Hari refuses to
admit me in the school.

He says I am lowly. I am an untouchable.

My father cleans gutters and drains...

...but what has that got to do
with my studies?

Even I know about the atmosphere and maths.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-
13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20.

I can even count upto 50.

And I know four poetries.
Shall I recite them for you?

"A fish is the queen of the water."

"Her life is all in the water."

"If you touch her she will be scared."

"Take her out and she will die.."

"Put her back and she will survive."

"India is my country."

"All Indians are my brothers and sisters."

"Our India is better
than the whole world."

"We are nightingales
and it is our garden."

I know this too.

Still Hari makes fusses.
I have the school uniform too.

Please admit me.
Please admit me in this school.

I too would like to study.

Well done, son. Very good!

Let's go inside, son. Come on.

- That child's performance was brilliant!
- Yes.

I think he is the son of an untouchable.

Yes. He is actually
the son of an untouchable.

Sir, the children in
my school are very talented.

All religions are equal.

Now I would like to invite Honorable
Mr. Chaube to the stage to say a few words.

Dear children, all students are equal.

Every student is great.

Our school is the best place for study.

Parity, equality and friendship.

Our fundamental mantra is 'say it with pride,
we are equals.'

What is going on here?

I don't see your black blouse these days.

Teacher! Careful.

Go. Go. Go.

Hello.

Eat slowly, mother.

If the seed gets stuck in your
throat you will leave this world.

My troubles will increase.

Never mind me.
One is already stuck in your throat.

Mother, it was stuck in
my throat in the past. - Yes.

Now it has descended
directly into my heart.

- What?
- Yes.

Suddenly you have developed
a lot of love for him.

Why wouldn't I, mother?
He is deserving.

He is fighting the whole world.

I could not fight my own family.

He fought the whole world
and arrived at our gate now.

That is true.

All my life I was afraid of my father.

Mother, he is not afraid
of anyone's father.

Mother, my battle is for power...

...and he is battling for subsistence.

Do you understand subsistence?

Existence!

Existence.

My dear dark plum eating mother.

Look at it any way you want.

It makes no difference whether
that boy wins the battle or loses.

He is enjoying the battle.

And what did I get? Seeds of four plums.

But he belongs to a low caste.

- Mother, sometimes you...
- Teacher!

Teacher.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Put this in the bin, son. Easy, son.

Laddu.

Don't you smell the stench?

I do but father says
we have an organism in our nose...

...which dies because of the stench.

Then one can't smell it.

- Really?
- Really.

Put this in the bin, son.

Sit over there, Guthlee. Go.

Sit over there.

Give it to me, son.

Go, my boy. Give me the pan.

Give it to me.

Laddu!

Laddu!

Laddu!

Laddu! I won't let you come to any harm!

Laddu! My son.

I won't let you come to any harm!

Son. Laddu!

Laddu.

Laddu!

Dhanni, why aren't you saying anything?

Dhanni!

Say something, Dhanni.

Your Laddu.

Gulthlee! Your Laddu.

Budhiya.

Get up.

- They are taking my son away.
- Dhanni.

Where are you taking my Laddu?

Stop, Dhanni!

- Dhanni.
- My son!

- My son!
- Dhanni!

Stop them.

Where are you taking him?

My Laddu!

My Laddu!

I would rather kill my Guthlee.

You are speaking nonsense.
Have you lost your mind?

Yes, I have lost my mind.

Yeah, it does seem so...

Someday like Laddu even my Guthlee...

It's better if I kill him myself.

I want to get my Guthlee
out of this life of gutters.

You were right.

I was wrong.

I will provide an
education for my Guthlee.

I will make him a big man.

Such a big man...

...that the people of the upper
caste would have to salute him.

Mother. Laddu can study now, right?

He can go to school, right?

What are you saying?

You told me to die and be
reborn in the home of an upper caste.

- So I shall die too...
- Shut up!

Let your enemies die!

Why should you die?

Teacher.

- Teacher.
- Huh?

What's on your mind?

I am thinking of the
fishes that we are feeding.

These fishes don't even know...

...that somebody is thinking
about them outside.

And what will they do if they think?

They will rebel.

- Rebel?
- Hmm.

These fishes?

Laugh, Ghanu. Laugh.

People laugh before every rebellion.

They don't know their strength as yet.

The day they learn of their own strength...

...they will hanker
for the sea and the ocean.

But how will they go?

When there is a flood. A big one.

All of them will go together.

From the river to the sea
and to the ocean to see the world.

- Flood?
- Flood.

They are waiting for that flood.

Tell me something, teacher.

What are we to do in the meanwhile?

Keep feeding them.
Make them stronger.

And we will earn some brownie points.

Why don't you do this, teacher?
You make them stronger.

- I shall earn brownie points. Alright?
- Hmm.

Take this.

Where did he go?

Oh! Excuse me.

Hey! Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Stop. What business do you have?

- What is it?
- I want to meet your boss.

He is not at home. What do you want?

- When should I return?
- Come back later.

- I need to talk to him.
- I told you to come back later.

Sir.

Hey! Don't you understand?

- I need to talk...
- Hey!

- Sir.
- Hey! I told you to wait!

I want to talk to him.

- What is it?
- My son wishes to study.

I cannot pay the fees all at
once but I will pay it little by little.

Please admit my son to your school, sir.

Very good!

No matter how clean a toilet is,
people go there only to defecate.

Nobody conducts holy
activities over there.

Our job is to teach and to learn.

Your job is to clean.

- Get rid of him.
- Get out!

Don't hit him. Don't hit him.

Get up. Get up.

Go. Go and stand outside.

Go. Go. Go.

Go.

You go and wash your hands.

- Does it hurt?
- No.

Have some milk with
turmeric in it tonight.

- Do you have a cigarette?
- I.. uh, no.

You have many such
things but you don't know.

Find out what you have
and what you don't have.

Look...

'What? You lit a cigarette again.'

You light it.

Come.

Find out what provisions
have been made for you.

By the Government and the law.

The provisions and
facilities made for you.

Make use of them.

Let's go and sit there.

Light it. Light it. Light it. Sit.

Why are you sitting there? Sit here.

- God's...
- Sit. Sit. Sit.

God what? Come here. Come here.

God! What is God?

G for goat. O for ostrich.

And D for donkey.

Bring them all together and you get God.

God does not discriminate.

We people discriminate. Do you understand?

Everyone has a right over him
and he has a right over everyone.

Give me. Give me a cigarette.
Give me a cigarette.

I'm glad you lit it.

The smoke is mixed.

What upper caste and lower caste?

The smoke got mixed
and blew away into the sky.

Smoke does not know if it comes
from a pyre or from a fire worship ritual.

It blew away.

There are many rights.
You have one more right.

- Which?
- Learning.

Schooling. Education.

The Constitution has given
this legal right to everyone.

Everyone should get
an education and progress.

Why do you believe that teacher, Mangru?

He too belongs to the upper caste.

He belongs to the upper caste
but he is not that kind of person.

He has read the constitution.

Constitution? What is constitution?

The book on how to run the country.

All of us should read it.

What will we gain
by reading it, Mangru?

What will be gain?

Will reading a book change
thousands of years of practices?

It will change, uncle.

The constitution is changing
the lives of people like us.

I have seen it myself
in the Government offices.

The Senior Officer is one amongst us.

Everyone stands in front of him
with folded hands...

Is it constitution or a magic book?

Indeed its a magic book
That's what I am trying to tell you.

Even we can perform magic...

...but for that we have
to be united to battle it.

Thousands of years of practices
don't break in an instant.

Those who started these
practices are gone...

...but we are here, uncle.

We can change the rules as per our needs.

The only thing I want is
that someone should listen to us.

But why would they listen to us?

Because we cast our votes
and form the Government.

In our own country every vote
is equal no matter who casts it.

What are you saying, Mangru?

Our vote is equal to their vote?

We vote in exchange for
2-3 days wages and local liquor.

But how much do they demand, Mangru?

Because they know their rights.

Earlier we used to get 50-100 rupees
and now we are pleased with 500-1000.

- But they know how to count more.
- Yes, yes.

That is exactly what they know.

If we get an education we can
also demand our rights, not just money.

This is happening since our
fathers' and grandfathers' time.

Even we are uneducated.

But our children won't be like that.

Every school has a reservation for us.

So, why shouldn't our children study?

But what will they become
after getting an education?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

But our kids shouldn't suffocate
and die in a drain like Laddu.

To earn money our children
have to get into dirty drains.

That is the problem.

And it is wrong.

Let our children get an education,
read the constitution...

...understand it themselves
and explain it to us as well.

That is what I want.

Who will come with me?

I will go for my Guthlee.

Sattu. Sattu will go for his Khansi.

Nima will go for Bheemu.

Tell me.

Come with me for the
sake of your children.

If you don't go today
you will remain behind forever.

- Hey, uncle.
- No, I won't go.

Say something.

- Let's go, brother.
- No, no, brother.

- You. You.
- I cannot go.

Say something.

Nobody will come.

Nobody will come, Mangru.

Because all their children are alive.

And their parents are afraid.

Those whose children have died
know there is no point in going.

Dhanni and I had made
a pledge for our Laddu.

Before the pledge could be completed he...
My Laddu. Laddu.

Whether anyone goes with you or not...

...I will surely come with you,
not for my Laddu...

...but for all their children.

- Father.
- Huh?

Do you know how many
stars there are in the sky?

Ask your mother.

- How many?
- Many.

How many?

Not even Hari from
the school can count them.

It's just that the others do not sparkle.

He is older than you.
You shouldn't call him by his name.

He is a teacher.

Do you know why they don't sparkle?

The stars?

Why?

Because they are locked
in their own gutters.

Guthlee. Listen to me.

You will go to school, son.

You will sparkle like these stars.

Don't forget it. You have to sparkle.

Greetings.

Greetings, sir.

- Who are you?
- We are residents of this village.

Why have you blocked the road?

Sir, we belong to the lower caste.
We clean gutters, drains and toilets.

Okay.

Mr. Chaube does not admit our
children in school for this reason.

But those children
are admitted in the school.

There aren't.

Not even one of our children
is admitted to his school.

What? Are you talking about this school?

Yes-Yes sir.

Budhiya.

What do you think?

Yes, yes. Come...

Hold on.

What is that spectacle outside?

Sit down, sir.

Never mind 'sir.'

You are acting far more
than the children did...

...in the fancy dress competition.

Mr. Chaube doesn't listen to anyone.

- Listen to me.
- I will not listen to anything.

I only listen to the constitution.

Now listen to me.

Why do you want to get involved in this?

Don't get involved.

You are retiring seven
months from now, right?

Meaning?

What are you implying?

- Your tea, sir.
- Shut up!

Sir. Sir.

Sir. Sir. Listen.

Please listen.

Sir.

Sir.

He left.

He didn't say anything.

He didn't even look at us.

You see? I told you.

Messing with Mr. Chaube
is like spitting in the sky.

The spit will fall back
on our own face, which it did.

I told you earlier, Mangru.

He is Bajpayee and Bajpayee
will never go against Chaube.

All of us turned out to be fools, Mangru...

...for trusting the dream you showed us.

We came here to waste our time.

And we even lost our wage for the day.

Come. Let's take a look.

How did they suddenly
gain so much knowledge?

If the hands that hold the
brooms start holding pens...

...are we supposed to hold brooms?

Chase them away!

You go too.

This shirt looks very good.

You can go to school all decked up.

But what about my pants?

The shirt is so long.
Why do you need a pant?

Mother!

Guthlee, get ready to go to school.

- But the shirt is torn.
- I shall sew it right away.

Don't worry.

Hold this.

The school's toilet is very dirty.
I don't have time.

Go and clean it.

What are you doing?
You are pulling the boy's leg, right?

Not at all.

I dreamt big because of this boy.

I had forgotten the gutters and the drain.

Now I have regained my senses...

What's the matter?

My son will be like me.

He will learn to enter the gutter...

...and if he doesn't learn
then he will have to starve to death.

Stop it.

I don't understand.

We are destined to do this!

- What are you saying?
- The world is saying it.

This is our standing.

We survive on them making
things dirty. Get it?

Go away!

No!
No!

My son won't go anywhere.

Don't vent your anger on my son.

Let me see who blocks my path.

Henceforth, no one is going to
mention the word 'school' in this house.

Do you understand?

I know only one thing.

My Guthlee will go to
school and he will study.

First you were adamant
and now I am adamant.

- You are adamant?
- Yes.

You are adamant.

You will go to school?

- What are you doing?
- You will go to school?

All of us are worms.
Worms from the gutter.

- What? What are you doing?
- Take that!

Don't let those two stand together.

- Okay?
- Okay.

I'll separate them.

- Get the name written on this.
- Okay.

Get the name written on this too.

And get the school's name written on this.

Go, my boy.

And this...

Madam, this...

Mother, did you take your medicine?

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Mother, won't you like some jujubes?

Mother!

Oh, Mother!

'You should sow the seed in our backyard.'

'It will soon grow into a beautiful
tree laden with tasty jujubes.'

'Then I won't have to beg you for them.'

The sack race for girls is about to begin.

Girls from grade five
will be participating in it.

Let's see who wins.

Last time girls from grade
four had won this competition.

The race has begun.

Vineeta Dubey is racing ahead.

Let's see who wins.

Look, Neha has taken the lead.

Neha is racing ahead.
Neha is dashing ahead.

Neha has won.

- Boys will race next.
- Okay.

Over there.

Uncle Chaube?

He is here. - Tug-of-war competition
for grade five has begun.

Let's see who wins.

Sir... Uncle Chaube is here.

- This way.
- We are pleased to announce,

- that our guide, Uncle Chaube is here.
- Greetings.

I hope you like the arrangement.

- It is great.
- We welcome him with open arms.

Sir, we have also invited
some media personnel.

- Media?
- He will give us his blessings today.

So, we will be on television?

Show more, do less.
It's the other way around nowadays, sir.

Do you remember the Delhi
roadside restaurant case?

- Yes, I do.
- It became famous overnight.

- It made 2.5 million.
- Really?

I thought it would help.
I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

No, you did the right thing.

Thank you.

- This way.
- Greetings.

Greetings, sir.

- Greetings, sir.
- Greetings.

Please have a seat, sir.

Greetings, everyone.

Now we will have a cycle
race for grade four boys.

Last time grade five
had won this competition.

Hello, hello,
one-two-three, three-two-one.

Sir.

Thank you.

Kids, I would like to pass
on a message from Uncle Chaube.

Therefore, we will have to put
the competition on hold for some time.

Uncle Chaube believes that
a clean heart is a free heart.

Hence, Uncle Chaube has come
up with something for the scavengers.

A huge round of applause for him.

Our constitution gives
everyone a right to education.

But not everyone knows that.

So, Uncle Chaube has taken a unique
initiative to spread its awareness.

Today, a lower class kid will
compete in a race with our kids.

And if he wins,

Uncle Chaube will offer him
free education in our school.

What kid? Which kid
are you talking about?

That kid.

Look how great he is.

He is generous, charitable,
but he doesn't like to show it.

What are you doing?

Try to understand.

They have already managed
to come to your house.

If they decide to take the streets,

you know how media will
blow it out proportion.

It won't take them
long to ruin your image.

This is the only way to get rid of them.

Let him participate in the competition,

and we will know what he is capable of.

Sir, if you think that
what I have done is wrong,

then I will apologise and leave.

No.

You have learnt to do politics, huh?

Come on, sir.

So let's resume the competition.

Another huge round
of applause for Uncle Chaube.

Come on.

Greetings.
Let's go, son.

Son,

I know I gave up.

But today, I want to tell you something.

You can shine like a star.

But for that, you have to
fight one last battle.

You have to win, my boy.

Not just for us, but many like us.

Guthlee.

Son, listen to me.

This is just a game for these kids.

But for you,

it is your life.

Do you get it?

Let's go.

Come on.

Okay, Uncle Chaube.

He is an untouchable!
Keep him away from our kids.

Wait, I'll handle it.

Step back.

Step back!

His shadow is still falling on our kids.

Ask him to go a few more steps back.

Go further back.

Further back.

Go.

Take your shoes off.

Hold this.

Here.

Wear them.

Why did you make him
wear bigger size shoes?

Uncle Chaube asked me to, sir.

Strange man.

Hey!

'You have to fight one last battle.'

'For many like us.'

'You have to win, my boy.'

'This is just a game for these kids.'

'But for you,'

'it is your life.'

Get up.

Ganesh, there is no stopping
this boy now.

This seed will grow
up to be a wonderful tree.
