* Let's dance and sing * and celebrate
* Season changing heralds * arrival of Spring
* The yellow sunlight drips from * the flowers of mustard
* I am going pale with pain...
* My pains are killing... * Spare me the agony...
* I am destined to sorrows, * relieve me of destiny
* Trapped she is
* She cannot escape from home...
* The old man keeps coughing
* what is it that afflicts * this Spring?
* The branch is bent
* it cries out
* My pains are killing... * Spare me the agony...
* I am destined to sorrows, * relieve me of destiny
My son. God had willed otherwise. You are very unfortunate
How is she?
She is a very brave girl. May God bless her
Can I see her? - Go, my son
Pray for her
I will send the doctor for her
Rest as God wills
Write a letter as soon as you reach home
Look after yourself. - Are you angry with me, brother?
Silly girl. How can I be angry with you?
Brother...
If you know anything about Puro please tell me
Brother...
That night a Muslim had come to our house
I don't know him, but I have seen him in a group of Muslims of our village
Wait there... at least take the clothes
Stop there, mad girl!
Did you see the mad girl of late? - No
She's pregnant
What sort of a man must he be who...
Must be an animal who brought her to this state
She had no beauty... just a body
That knew no senses. Just a mangle of bones
That's another cage
The vultures have feasted on that too
What happened? - That mad woman...
She was a Hindu. And the Muslims took her son away?
They converted a Hindu boy into a Muslim!
Shame on us! The Muslims have conned us right under our noses!
Forget it. Who knows whose offspring of sin that baby is?
What would we do with the baby?
Worthless chap! It's a question of religion
If it has to do with money...
let's collect donations and give it to Mary. She'll bring up the baby
But at least ask Mary first. - Why won't she...?
Let's give her some silver and then talk to her
Things in the village are not very good
People are suspicious
What will we gain from this fight?
Things will only worsen
Let them take the baby away. If that is what they want
Whatever the baby's fated for, will happen
Why didn't the Hindus think of it earlier?
They could have taken the baby away and brought it up
They could give him the love of his parents
I'm the one who has been awake in the nights for si months
I've worn out my nails working for the baby
What good is all that talk?
Why not? I was the one who made the baby taste honey first...
and distributed sweets among the Muslims in the neighbourhood
So that the baby must never think his birth was not celebrated
Where were all these Hindus then?
Rashid...
Coming
Come on. The Village Chief has sent for you
Wait here. I'll come
What happened?
The Village Chief has sent for me. - I'm going with you
I'm rearing the baby. So I'll answer their questions
You're not going anywhere
He won't come alone. He'll bring half a dozen Muslims with him
Hello... Salaam
So what do you intend, Rashid?
Are you giving back the baby or aren't you?
I dare...? It's God's gift. Who am I to give it away?
That's evading the subject. Come to the point
I picked up the baby in God's name
Had I not got there in time, some dog might have carried it away
Allah willed it to live
All right. If he's indeed tied to God, no one can break the bond
What you should know is that his mother was a Hindu woman
We can't tolerate you taking away a Hindu baby
No, I didn't know whether she was a Hindu or someone else
She ate from Hindu homes as well as Muslim ones...
She was mad. But you aren't, are you?
You ought to have found the baby and brought it up right in the beginning
When did I stop anyone?
He's an infant. My wife has spent six months toiling for the baby
Now that the baby has been saved, you start thinking of him
Fear the wrath of Allah
You will bring him up in God's name, won't you?
In God's name, I'm bringing up him too
What am I getting out of it?
We don't want this thing to worsen
He means nothing to us, nor does he mean anything to you
This is a question of religion
And you mustn't stand in the way of religion
You are unnecessarily endangering your life
What if someone does any harm to you?
We will not take responsibility
So you had better hand over the baby to us
And yes, you've been feeding the baby for so many days...
you can collect payment for that
Oh yes! - Allah!
We're sending two men with this woman
They'll go to your place and bring back the baby
We will perform the purifying ceremony on our own
I request you gentlemen...
to have mercy on the baby. Let him be where he is
My wife's looking after him as if she had borne him...
We've shown you the way
If you want your safety, get up and go like a nice man
Or else, we know how to get things done
All right. As you gentlemen wish
Hurry up. It's getting late. We've got work to do
They're taking my baby away...
Stop them...! - Get a hold on yourself
My parents, my brother, my son... they've all left me
My son has left me...
There is a letter from Rajjo's husband. She is pregnant
You go to Rathoval to bring Rajjo...
and take Lajo with you
She will stay for some days in her house
Yes.
Go straight to Rathoval and come back
Yes
There is no need to stray here or there
Yes
You must be reading newspapers
I don't have to tell you that the atmosphere is not good...
Yes.
Hamida... Hamida...
I am here
How are you? - I am fine
May you live long. May God grant all your wishes
I will bring buttermilk for you
Later. First sit. I want to talk to you.
What is it?
In a couple of days my sister is coming.
After paying her respects at Baba-Shah's shrine...
she has to go to a nearby village for the treatment of her eyes
So what is the problem...?
If it was a matter of couple of days, I would have gone
But it may take 10 to 15 days there
Rahim's wife does not take care of me...
where shall she tend to my sister?
That's why I came to you to request you to help me
She is a poor widow with no one of her own
Where does that doctor live?
Not any doctor. There is a small well, which is blessed by Saints
It's a belief that washing your eyes regularly with the well's water cures all ailments
Where is that well?
There is a nearby village called Rathoval. A Saint lives there
He has made staying arrangements for the pilgrims near the well
But... what are you thinking? - Nothing
I will go with her
* Parting apart of hands * cannot break relations...
* With lapse of time... * those moments cannot be forgotten
We have reached Saint's abode
* Friends have fallen apart... * I pray that friendship remain intact...
Sister... You've to stay for 13 days for treatment
* Who has not left * his footprints behind
* Don't ask for whereabouts * of faithless one
* Parting apart of hands * cannot break relations...
* Friends have fallen apart * I pray that friendship remain intact
* Friends have fallen apart * I pray that friendship remains intact
There are still 10 days to go. Why don't you just go around the village?
What is the use even if I go around the village?
Since you are in the village, you may as well see it
Go around the fields, you will feel better
If I feel like it, I will go
Brother, whose field is this?
Whom are you searching for? Why don't you ask clearly?
We are visitors staying at Saint's abode
I wanted a few cucumber; that is why I was asking
What is there to ask? Take as many as you want
* My footprints keep sweeping... * towards you
* I am tried of running, * chasing rivers of time...
* Parting apart of hands * cannot break relations...
Brother, I've got definite information
A man has disappeared from Chattoani, his name is Rashid Sheikh
My daughter. - Yes
The Saint told me that I could go now
Ashraf will arrive tomorrow and then we will go
But mother. I have not yet...
What did you say my little one? You have not completed your sentence
What? - Yes...
Nothing
I thought I could see him at least once
But I have still not seen him
I can't even inquire his name with somebody...
How can I...?
Why is nobody telling me if this is Ramchand's field?
Daughter. Are you all right?
Yes sir. Just feeling little giddy
Are you from Rathoval? - No
I have come here from Sakkadali alongwith my aunt to see the Saint
I wanted some grain, and wondered if I could meet the owner of the fields
Look there, he is Ramchand. Owner of the fields
Go and ask him. He is a very kind man
If at all you ask him for grains, don't be miserly
Now that it's harvesting time, you all have to work very hard. Take more men
Excuse me
Look madam
Who are you? What has happened to you?
Is their any problem Madam?
Anybody there?
Can I do anything for you?
Mother, I have come
Rajjo... let's go my daughter... we are getting late
Coming mother... - Mother
Lajo
Mother, where is brother? - Patience my dear
Long live my son
Brother - How are you Rajjo?
Brother
Lajo. How are you?
Don't say anything
Let me feel the silence of my brother
You silly girl, you will never change
And I won't
Now tell me when will this eile be over
When I find my beloved?
Tell me about yourself
I am with my husband
but for me too, it is an eile
I cannot say with certainty
But I have a feeling that she was Puro
Didn't you stop her?
I did shout for her
I wish I could stop her
Perhaps she has lost faith in her own fate
Even otherwise, with what right could I stop her?
Now you tell me, do you have any information?
There is news of a man disappearing. Maybe this is the same man who...
Trilok...
What is this, I hear you are talking of leaving day-after-tomorrow
Sir, father wanted us to return today itself
But I have some important work that is why...
Stop... Stop... there... that is Rashid's field
Are you sure? - Yes it is
Aslam
What happened?
My cousin has come from the village
From Chattoani? - Yes
So early in the morning? Anything wrong?
He says there were piles of our harvested crops...
tonnes of them
Then...
Somebody has burnt them
What?
The entire crop has been destroyed. - Did someone do it deliberately?
Looks like that
Who could be your enemy?
I am going to Chattoani, will be back soon
Have your milk. - I don't feel like it
Uncle, tell me if you suspect anyone
Who is he?
I am ruined
Come...
Sir, he is Rashid Sheikh. - Do you suspect anyone?
How can I suspect anyone sir?
I mean any enmity with anyone?
No Sir, can't say anything
You mean to say that somebody burnt your fields just for fun?
If we come to know anything we will inform you
Look, I hope you people are not up to creating riots
Sir, as it is we have been looted
Okay
If you have doubt on anybody, come to the Police station...
to lodge a complaint. - Yes sir
Why are you showing your anger on food?
We are only telling you to eat your food and go
It is not like that Uncle. If I miss the afternoon bus...
I won't be able to reach home even by evening
Hamida will be worried, as I had told her that I will...
Forget what has happened and think of the future
Uncle, I understand that it was a joint brop and to make good your losses...
I will not take my share of crops for the next two years
I also have some cash with me. If you want...
Dear brother, you think of your loss. Today he has only burnt your fields
In future, he can cause more harm. - Why are you repeating the same thing?
There is only suspicion but no proof that it was Hamida's brother...
who set the fields on fire
But my son, on the basis of suspicion...
we can atleast file a complaint, so that the police is alert
God forbid, if some other calamity occurs we could not be held responsible
For God's sake. Stop all this. I am fed up of...
You seem to be very sympathetic towards the culprit
If somebody had kidnapped your sister, what would you have done?
I have committed a sin... I have...
I deem to suffer in punishment
I am sorry for disobedience. Good bye.
Rashid... brother... listen. - Stop it Aslam
After all, it's our family matter
Brother... It is because of you and sister-in-law that I did not say
anything in front ofthe police officer
But this issue will spread like wildfire How many wagging tongues can you control?
You keep quiet, Aslam
There is no need to take this issue to the police station.
Thank God, it's only our field which was set on fire
If we encourage it, the entire village will be on fire
And you... you learn to be patient
And I warn if anybody utters a word about Hindu-Muslim in this respect
Is every thing okay? - Yes... Is food ready?
Yes. I will just serve you
Did you get any news as to who burnt the fields?
No
Why don't you say something? - There is nothing to say
Hamida...
Yes
I heard a rumour
What?
I am not sure if it's true
It is said, that a stranger had come into the village...
he did not mix-up with anyone
The villagers suspect that maybe he was your brother
My Brother?
It is not certain but the villagers told me that he was inquiring about me
It's only their suspicion
God knows what lies there in my fate?
After a long time, somebody thought of me and that too in this manner
Who knows, maybe he is responsible for the fire...
Maybe, to give vent to his anger he resorted to this revenge
Before doing that didn't he think even once what effect it would have on me?
He has not forgotten you Puro
His heart must be full of love and pain for you
Maybe it's that pain and anger...
which might have provoked him to light the field on fire
You never know how much agony he must be going through
I hope my brother does not get arrested
Maybe somebody else has set the fields on fire and...
he will be arrested on suspicion
Just a little while ago you were worried about the loss of my crops
and now you are worried about the one who might have destroyed my crops
You are getting angry with me. - No Puro
For the first time, I am feeling a little bit comfortable
I am feeling a bit light...
My brother... he must have become a big lawyer
I wish I could see his face just once
In the name of Allah...
Rashid... Are you listening Rashid?
Villagers are piling-up weapons. They are sharpening them
You too get ready
In the name of Allah...
Kill them... take them out...
set it on fire... set it on fire
What is all this happening? - Our country has been divided
Where am I now?
Pakistan is our country now. - And the Hindus here?
They will go back to their country India
* All are the manifestation of the divine life
* And we are all the children of God
Hindus from most villages are going to India
Same killings will take place here as elsewhere
No one can trust anyone
Whom don't you trust, brother. Muslims?
If you have so much faith... you stay back
I am going back to India with my family
Uncle! A rioter is neither a Hindu nor a Muslim
Politics is not a poet's imagination
The fact is that Hindus cannot live here anymore
Brother. - Ramchand's mother...
Brother give them as much money and gold as they want
I will not allow the common kitchen of Hindus and Muslims to be broken
Stop you... kill him...
Kill him...
Mother! Open the door, quick
Ramchand! Your father! - The situation is very bad.
Collect whatever you can lay your hands on! Lajo...
Ramchand... Your father...
Mother, if we are alive, we will trace him
Punjab Boundary Force is here. Hindus going to India, come back
We are here to help you... don't be scared... come back please
In the name of Allah...
Mother! Mother. - Lajo
Brother!
Help! Save me someone!
Listen!
Who are you! What's happened to you?
Come with me!
In a nearby village there was a camp...
of the Hindus...
awaiting the arrival of the military...
to take them across the border to India
The camp was under the supervision of the army
But in the night some Muslims would come to the camp, forcibly...
take away girls...
and would dump them back early morning
For nine consecutive nights...
I was forced to go with different people
However, last night I dodged one of my captors...
and ran towards the village
In the morning I did not know what to do and where to go...
that is why I hid myself in sugarcane field...
and spent the whole day hiding and moving from one spot to another
It's a sin to be born as a girl in this era
Who is there?
Salaam - Salaam
Any girl of infidels around the village?
No. - Bye
Ecuse me! From which village is this caravan coming?
From Rathoval! Do you have any relation there?
Listen, it's evening, going further is not safe.
We will camp here only
Punjab Boundary Force is there to help you
All the villagers are selling provisions to the Caravan.
Maybe this way even I can see Ramchand one last time
Hurry up! Lest other villagers will sell grains to the people in caravan
Don't be modest in demanding price and insist on jewellery instead of cash
Today's currency may not be valid tomorrow
Do you have jewellery! Give us that.
You don't have jewellery! We want that...
Will you have water please?
Do you need some grains?
Yes. - Keep money ready
In a short while I will get grains
Puro!
The caravan will leave early morning. We must leave her there during the night
If she reaches the caravan safely - I will be relieved
Should I come?
It's good that people still trust women
If you go along with her, people will comment
Even otherwise, she is a victim of men.
If we miss this opportunity, you never know when she would go
God willing. Everything will be okay
Come... hurry
Sit down
I have packed flour and oil
Aren't you Puro?
You still want to ask?
Look, I am leaving this poor girl with you. Take her along with you
Maybe in India she'll find her parents
Any news about my parents?
They never came back after the marriage
Marriage? Whose marriage?
After your disappearance, your younger sister got married to my...
Uncle's son and your brother got married to my sister
After that, they never came back
That means Rajjo must be in this caravan.
No! Recently your brother Trilok had come. He had left his wife in her...
parents' house and took Rajjo with him. Had she been here...
What do you mean ' had she been here'?
Why don't you speak? What...
My sister has been kidnapped by rioters
You mean my brother's wife?
Yes - How?
When we fled home, she was with us
But in a sudden attack on our caravan...
she was kidnapped in front of my eyes
Is her name Lajo? - Yes.
I heard this from mother at the time of engagement
Puro... Try to locate Lajo
I'm not sure whether she is dead or alive
Her name is tattooed on her arm
Write to me at Sakkadali's address. Write me your address also...
I will inform you if I get any news about Lajo
You! Who are you and where are you going?
I had come to sell grains...
How much have you sold? Show me the money
Here... bye
You take rest now. I will stand guard
* O' my beloved country...
* Your lap is divided, your breast *bisected, your daughters ravaged...
* your sons perished...
* O' my beloved country...
* Who will look after you, *tend to your fields?
* Who will plant the green of trees?
* Those evil have already *slaughtered the shades of trees
* How will you flourish, *if not for us?
* Don't haunt us if you send us away
* Farewell, O' my country, *farewell forever
* O' my beloved country
Trilok!
Have pity on me. Till now I haven't asked you for anything
Just find the whereabouts of Lajo
You met Ramchand earlier in Rathoval! Didn't you!
Yes
I swear Puro!
I will try my best! Maybe that will redeem me of my sins
Aren't these goods plundered?
No sir! Who will loot shoes?
You are right! Where there are girls and other epensive things to loot...
who will bother about shoes?
I have heard in Rathoval there are girls of the infidels?
God is above us! Only He can decide
It is no laughing matter. Father of the Nation has ordered to release all...
Hindu girls. Police are searching each and every village
In echange of one Hindu girl to India, one Muslim girl will be sent here
You are assuming as if I have hidden some girls in my house
Haven't the boys of Rathoval hidden girls in their houses?
Please tell the elders of the village to trace the girls...
and inform the Government in the interest of the village
I am definite of Lajo being in Rathoval and it is possible...
that the one who kidnapped Lajo has also grabbed her house
It's only by living in Rathoval that we can trace her. But the problem is...
I do not know anyone there
Why don't we go and stay at the Saint's in Rathoval for some days?
Nobody will suspect and I can go to the village pretending...
to sell bedsheets from door to door and try to locate Lajo
Bedsheets for sale... Bedsheets for sale...
Old lady, you want bedsheets? - No.
Bedsheets for sale... Bedsheets... Grandma, you want bedsheets?
No... I don't. - It's very cheap
But... - Won't you go away?
Bedsheets for sale
Very clever women! Right now you were saying prices are dirt cheap and now
It's not plundered stuff. I made it with my own hands
Do you think we are short of bedsheets in the village?
First you gatecrash in the house and then show tantrums?
Forget that! Whatever you wish you give me - OK
Very clever! A little leniency and you want to take advantage
Everyone knows that people in Rathoval have acquired a lot leftover...
stuff of the infidels. My bad luck I still have to sell bedsheets
Shut up. It is the luck of the favored ones
What you got as your share? - Why you want to know?
If you want to sell something, tell me, I will get you a good price
By the way, this house also belongs to infidels...
Will you go away or...
Forgive me if I said something wrong. If you need me... Just tell
I come in this area every day. Okay... I'm leaving
All the Hindus of the village went into a big mansion
There they stored huge quantity of grains
One day all the villagers attacked the mansion...
broke open locks of all the houses and became owners of that house
Whoever had the strength became the owner
But in Rathoval there are not too many big mansions
You have not seen runaway Ramchand's Mansion
It is in possession of my cousin brother
In that case your brother must have reaped a big harvest. Help me sell...
some bedsheets to him. God will bless you
Ask anyone about Ramchand's house. If possible, I will show you the house
Did you arouse anybody's suspicion? - No
Now?
Tomorrow I will again go to Ramchand's house and see...
how long the old lady refuses me entry
No. Don't be in a hurry. If needed we will stay a little longer
Oh God! I told you we don't need anything
Amma - If you don't like don't buy. What's wrong in having a look?
Thank God! Can I have a glass of water? I'm thirsty since morning
Forget water you can have 'Buttermilk'. But why don't you go...
and sell your goods in town?
There people don't make cloth
In villages everyone does. Good soul - Get her a glass of buttermilk
My God! Your daughter... Is she all right?
Well...
Get me some salt
Come, I will feel your pulse. You look so pale
Get her some Magician's Band to make her normal
She doesn't even talk to my son
I have such a Magician's Band, wearing which...
she will bloom like a flower
Whatever you demand I'll give you, but get me that band
No big deal. God willing I will come tomorrow itself with it
Now you know the best
How do we proceed?
The way you picked me up on the horse...
show the same bravery this time also
That's not difficult. But after that what?
We will think about that later. You never know
Ramchand may write a letter at Sakkadali's address
As God wills!
Amma!
Isn't Amma in?
She has gone to the fields
You are Lajo, aren't you ...my sister-in-law?
You are Puro? - Yes...!
Look be careful... before somebody comes listen to me
I don't know anything You just take me away
Precisely, that is what I have come for. Now listen to me
Take me away. All my life, I will be your slave
Where will I take you... Where? Now listen carefully
If you don't take me I will die of agony
Don't be a fool
Tell me when do you go out?
The old lady does not allow me. - But to the fields
She accompanies me - Listen!
Today is Moonless night. You come to the outside well where my...
my... husband will be ready with the mare
But how will I come out?
When everybody goes to sleep take a chance and come out
That man... atleast he drinks. Somehow, I will make him drunk
But what about the old lady who sleeps in the courtyard?
Doesn't she take drugs?
I haven't seen. - But somehow you reach there
But I don't know your husband. If you also...
He will somehow manage to take you but together...
we will not succeed. Both of us will be caught.
But I haven't seen him yet.
Have faith in me and look at this for your satisfaction
I will give him a ring of mine. You can see it for his identification
If I fail to make it this night?
Then tomorrow, for three nights he will wait for you
There are some noises around. Maybe somebody is coming
Make this ecuse of Magician's Band...
you take me out every day and one day we will...
No! That way we will arouse suspicion
I want him to take you out of the village and even after that...
I will make rounds of the village so that nobody suspects me
I am really scared. If somebody...
Then what is there in our destiny will happen
I will be a burden on you?
This is no time for these talks. I must go
It's good the old lady has not seen me today
Puro please take me with you
Tonight... midnight... don't delay it till tomorrow
"Tonight... midnight... don't delay it till tomorrow"
Be careful
How did Puro know about my whereabouts?
I didn't even ask her. Well, where was the time
Today it's very cold. I have laid your bed inside. Go in and lie down
It seems even before tying the Magician's Band...
its showing its effects on her...
Should I get you more?
Today, you will serve me. Go bring some more
Sister!
Are you Lajo?
My identification?
Allahditta's keep has disappeared, aunty
My God! How is that possible?
Surprising. In the village around, there is not a single Hindu and...
why would a Muslim do that?
You are right
What happened?
Not even a dead body is to be found here
Did you see that wretched girl?
Who...? Where is your daughter-in-law?
That desperate girl has run away - My God! With whom...
I had brought a Magician's band for her
To hell with the band... Maybe she is taken away by some ghosts
What are you talking? Who in this village will take her?
She must have gone to the fields
No look! It's already mid-day and she...
But she's not a loaf of bread for someone to carry her away
Exactly, who knows... she must have drowned in a well or fallen in a pit
I have searched all the villages. There is no trace of her body
Forget that! Why are you worried? Some ghosts might have taken her
I believe she must have got up and walked out of the house
when some wild animal might have taken her away
But there are hardly any wild animals around the village
For us, thieves might have taken her. But you eat something
Okay! May God be with you! I am going now.
Listen! Who are you?
Who is she? She is a bedsheet seller
But I have never seen her before
This poor girl comes selling every day
Which is your village?
Nearby village. Roaming around villages, I make some money
Are you a Hindu or a Muslim?
Brother! What's the plan? Now you want to keep her in your house?
What are you talking? Where are Hindus in this village?
Hindus name is not written on anybody's forehead
I will clear your doubts. Look here, my name is Hamida
Please go! He has gone crazy
Never mind! If I get to know about anything, I will inform you
A caravan of Rathoval had passed through this village...
Did you see that?
I met your brother also. That's how I came to know about you
Are you telling the truth? - Yes
But how did you recognize him? You had never seen him before?
I had met him earlier also
Where?
In Rathoval.
The same day I came to know that my younger sister also got married
And I did not get any news about it
Even dead are remembered
They solemnize their death anniversary. But nobody bothered about me
Does anybody remember me?
Your mother cries a lot remembering you
And my father? - He also misses you
I pity my mother. Her daughter is as good as dead...
and now... even daughter-in-law
When you go there tell my mother to see my face as long as I am alive
Where will I go?
You will go there, to your husband, to your brother
No sister! I am finished, now who will accept me?
No Lajo! As long as I am alive. I will not allow injustice to you
What is your fault? - What was your fault?
Your people have not called you till now
That is a different matter altogether
How can your case be different? Did you come on your own?
Yes Lajo but at that time, I was alone. My parents did not have the courage...
to face people and they suppressed their parental emotions
Today not one but everyone is effected
No Sister. If I was lucky, than this calamity would not have befallen on me
Nobody will come to take me
I assure you your brother will write
We will give him your address and he will take you back
Today nobody is complaining, everyone is accepting...
back his or her sisters and daughters. Rashid told me, people from India...
have also come in search of their kith and kin
Some ladies have even given birth to children
Earlier they were crying for one. Now they will be crying for two
I will not go anywhere. How will I face them?
I will serve you and eat whatever's there
Don't humiliate me Lajo
This is your own house, but, they will definitely accept you
I will somehow make them accept you
Are you happy here?
I'm telling you at the back of Rashid, that after the first crime he committed...
he has not uttered a single foul word to me
If he was not with me, how could I have traced you
He came to rescue me endangering his own life
If that demon had come to know of it, he would have burnt both of us
These people don't burn, they just bury
Can I ask you something? - Yes
Do you still love my brother?
It is late in the night, go to sleep
Sir, going directly into the village can create problems
It's better we call him outside the village under some pretext
Rashid Uncle! Uncle, he wants to meet you
He gave me this coin also... Okay... now I am going
Can I meet him alone? - Okay
Puro... Lajo...
Is everything okay?
Come, sit near me
Not there. Next to me
Has that old lady of Rathoval come to know of Lajo?
Today Ramchand had come
Here? - Yes
Accompanied by some Indian and Pakistani soldiers
They are looking out for lost girls in villages and cities
Ramchand met me alone
Has he really come to take me?
Silly girl, for what else would he be here?
Has he come alone?
Right now, yes. But you don't worry
Your people will accept you with grace and dignity
I was sure Ramchand would come
Hearing of your name he was emotionally charged...
and could not contain his tears
Even I became very emotional
I have explained to him properly
If we hand you over at this place, the entire village will get to know
And who knows this news may spread to Rathoval
I advised him to go back to Lahore and I will take Lajo to Lahore
There I will hand over to them. - This is a very wise move
Third day from today we will be there and he will also call Puro's brother...
from Amritsar so that Puro can also meet her brother
All the people coming from India are...
sternly warned against consumption of alcohol
Sir, there is no such name here
If she comes please inform her...
that her brother Ramchand is here in the cantonment
I will be grateful for that
If any Indian has any problem or complaint regarding their...
wives and daughters, they can contact...
Begum Tasadook-Hasan-Jahan-Aara-Nawaz and Begum Liyaquat Ali
Both of them are present in the camp right now
If madam Mridula Sarabhai is present in the camp...
please report to the District Magistrate's Office
Name? - Kartar Singh.
Look Brother. Never ill-treat Lajo, not even unwittingly
Never...
Indians going across the Border get ready. The lorry is ready to leave
Brother...
I am indeed indebted to you
I will never forget your favour
If possible please forgive me
Look Puro. Listen to me...
All Hindu girls are returning to their homes
If you wish, Ramchand is still willing to marry you
He realizes your misfortune and you can start life afresh
No one will come to know
Brother, Lajo is coming home. You think in her Puro has also come
Rashid...
Rashid!
Puro, you go back to your country among your own people
Rashid, now only you are my truth
For me this is my home Rashid
This is my abode
Let her go. Let's not separate her from her house all over again
Hindus going across the Border get ready. Lorry is about to leave
Close it
* Whether a girl is Hindu or Muslim, *if she is rehabilitated in life...
* that is rehabilitation of *Puro and her soul
