Welcome to Sajjanpur Page #2

facing a murder trial.

How can she be a candidate?

Damn fool! Until proven guilty anyone...

...can run for elections.

Even if she's a woman.

Not just the village head,

she can become...

...a member of parliament,

or the assembly...

...you can even become a chief minister.

Unbelievable!

- Yes!

The truth is we have a democracy.

- Yes.

Not a dictatorship, like in Pakistan.

Where you can remove an elected...

...minister, and install a general. Got it?

It requires brains to understand...

- Yes I understand.

What actually happened the other day?

How did Muthru Ahirwar's daughter die?

What can I say?

It was the Chhatt festival.

And your sister-in-law was praying.

She is very religious.

- Yes.

She heard a sound from the store-room...

And what does your sister-in-law see?

Muthru Ahirwar's naked...

...daughter on top of my son.

And my son is in great

pain because of her weight.

And he is screaming!

Screaming and begging...

'... let me go, you witch! '

'I am celibate! Don't rape me! '

That little girl threw down your son...

...and got on top! A terrible witch!

And then what happened?

The witch got scared as soon as

she was caught in the act.

Yes?

She couldn't bear her shame and...

What did she do?

There was a sickle lying nearby.

- A sickle?

She picked up the sickle

and chopped off her head.

The sister-in-law?

- No! The witch.

The cheeky Ahirwars say

it was murder and not suicide.

That's why it's important

for your sister-in-law...

...to be elected president...

...or they will become

too strong and ruin us.

Yes, that's true.

And also write that if

Rehmat-Un-Nissa runs for elections...

...there will be Hindu-Muslim riots.

And the elections

would have to be scrapped.

Okay?

- Yes, I'll write that.

Write that. Write that.

- Sit, uncle.

But brother can I say something?

I don't think Salim Mohammad is a spy.

I mean, if you ask my personal opinion.

Damn fool, did I ask you?

Did I ask you for your personal opinion?

- No, brother.

Then write what I have told you.

All right.

Or else your writing hand... By the way with

which hand do you write?

This one.

- I'll chop it off and...

...offer it at the altar of the elections.

Okay?

- Yes.

Now write the letter.

Sit, uncle.

Let's go!

Made your first sale!

- Yes.

Now please write.

What is the address?

Lost and Found Department, Allahabad.

What have you lost? A snake?

My father.

Okay, tell me what to write.

With Bholenath's blessings...

...my father, Kanthi Ram,

got lost in the Maha Kumbh fair.

If anyone finds him, keep him

safe until Shivratri when...

...l'll come and take him away.

From Chhadamiram,

the snake charmer.

But how did you lose your father?
