And what will Lenny-baby have?

Not here.

And what's that?

Bloody English pudding.

Do you Parsees think

you are English or what?

Shame on you!

Leave her alone.

Don't take your anger out

on the child.

Why express sorrow?

Why cast a tear

when stars are so far

but friends are so near?

Well said!

Come and eat.

Just like a Mughal poet.

Forget the Mughals.

Talk about today.

I feel that when the British divide lndia,

they will give Lahore to Pakistan.

There are more Muslims here.

Lahore will stay in lndia.

Hindus own most of the business here.

But Muslims are greater in number here.

So what?

People don't matter; money does.

Money or no money,

we'll put the fear of God

up your Hindu trousers.

It might just be the other way around.

Are you stupid?

Do you knowwhat I want?

The same?

No, not the same.

Bring me lamb chops.

Let him be.

You're too soft-hearted, Hasan.

Hurry up, or I'll break your legs.

W-w-what about us?

We Sikhs own m-more land

than the Hindus or Muslims.

Total lies.

Are you calling me a liar?

If you want to save your lands,

Sher Singh,

become friends with the Muslims.

Even the British say you Sikhs

are a headache,

a bloody nuisance.

We think you're bastards as well.

Listen.

Once lndia is divided,

all Muslims left on the wrong side

of the division line

will have their balls cut off.

Have you gone mad?

We've lived together like brothers

for centuries.

We share the same language,

food, and enemies.

The Sikhs are the fighting arm

of the Hindus,

and they are ready to use it

against us Muslims.

Behold the fighting arm

of the murderous Sikhs!

Don't fool yourself.

Sikhs have a tradition of violence.

Haven't you seen the paintings

of their Gods?

Holding severed heads,

dripping with blood?

You sister-f***er!

Don't talk rubbish.

Our holy Koran lies

in their Golden Temple in Amritsar.

The Sikh faith came about to bring Hindus

and Muslims closer.

So why fight amongst friends?

We'll stand by each other,

won't we?

Yes, we'll stand by each other.

Won't we, Tota Ramji?

Yes, why not?

Sit, Lenny-baby.

No.

Don't go too far.

Refugee camp to the right.

Keep right for the refugee camp.

Good afternoon.

Please come in and sit down.

A cup of tea?

No, thank you.

Even the Malhotras and Guptas have left.

When?

Two hours ago,

to Amritsar City.

How are you, Jaswant?

Good afternoon.

Have you heard the news?

Gurdaspur City has been given to lndia.

Playing God under the ceiling fans

of Lahore Hotel.

The bastards!

They break my country into two pieces

and hand it to us and say,

"Happy lndependence."

Could we leave some of our belongings

with you?

Yes, yes.

Bring whatever you want.
