Give alms for the blind horse,

O people.

Give alms for the blind horse,

O people.

Give alms for the blind horse,

O people.

Kindly get up and make a cup of tea.

Didn't you listen?

See what your father is upto.

Make him a cup of tea.

They are wet with dew.

So many times have

I said to keep them inside.

Wake up now.

Otherwise father will be angry.

Father, you go inside

or you will catch a cold.

I will bring the tea inside.

Don't beat the speechless creatures.

You start beating these hungry

fellows early in the morning.

Is anyone left alive here?

Get up.

The village council is gathering.

What happened uncle?

At least tell something.

Girl, you can ask later.

First send your father.

You shall know about things when..

..we all have to take shelter

in the desert, like nomads.

Walk fast.

They have left us nowhere.

Have some courage,

sister, have courage.

How can we have any courage?

Do whatever you want brothers.

We will die here only.

Anyways,

they have hardly left us alive.

Is this the way issues are resolved?

You have been mumbling for so long,

have you reached any resolution?

Nobody has cared to get

a cup of tea for their kids.

Just keep talking aimlessly.

Do one thing,

send the children with me..

..till there is no solution.

My house is like your own.

You and your sons stay here,

come what may.

We will see who has

the guts to evict you.

Its been seven years

since you've been living here.

This way the village will

tell all our neighbourhood..

..that the land where we have

our homes belongs to the village.

Remove your belongings from here.

How's your son? The one in the city.

He's fine. May they

be happy wherever they live.

How come such a tragedy

happened in the night?

You stay in the village or

some far flung forest? You fool.

The dispute has been

going on for months..

..and you come and ask what's

the matter. Hats off to you!

Who is Dharma amongst you?

Its me.

And these two?

They are people from my community.

Come on, move away.

Go get lost.

Am I talking in Pashto?

Didn't you listen?

Go and sit there.

When I have spoken to him,

you can come and sympathise.

They have not come to

steal something from you.

They are people from my community.

In times of crisis if

they don't come, then who will?

It is this community bonding of

yours that has spoiled your brain.

Otherwise we would have

settled the issue long ago.

How can our brains get spoilt, sir?

Only if we have a brain,

will it get spoilt.

When we don't have a brain,

what is there to spoil?

What was he saying?

Why is the police coming this way?

Come on old man.

Leave him you scoundrels.

May you be hit by plague.

Move away old woman.

Bloody goons, why don't

you arrest the big bellied..

..who have demolished our house.

You ruthless scoundrels.

You cunning bastards.

May your children die.

May the black snake bite you.

May you never wake from your sleep.

It's the era of the satan.

May your children die.

Come on, lets move fast.

How can there be such injustice.

Come back here. Idiots.

Will you turn back fast?

I had told the watchman

that I'm coming.

Why did you all take the trouble?

Tell me, what's the matter?

You still don't know of the issue?

I know absolutely nothing.

Ask the watchman standing

here if he has told me anything.

Sarpanch, you talk as

if you were born yesterday.

It's been two months

since the trouble started.

O silly fellow,

is there one problem in the village?

A new problem keeps

erupting every now and then.

Do I dream of which

issue you are talking about?

You know that Dharma had

his house on Surjit's land..

..which Surjit sold to the factory.

The new owners came with

a bulldozer and razed his house.

Really? Razed It?

Not just razed, they took

away the doors and the windows too.

And the police took away Dharma.

How can anyone

obstruct a legal issue?

Tomorrow I can also say that this

house is mine and not Sarpanch's..

..because I had tea here today!

This is as if I rule the land.

After all,

law has some authority or not?

Of course it's like their own law.

When, for the sake of votes..

..they have been

given land for their homes,

given hand-pumps,

made their barely educated

kids officers above us.

Then it is their own rule.

Not yours, mine or Sarpanch's.

You all move now.

I will join you with the

rest of the village representatives.

You go and meet our village

lawyer outside the courts.

I will see you there.

Till what time should

we wait for you there?

What do you mean?

I will be there before you.

Shouldn't I even wear my shoes?

I will reach soon.

Member, you behave like a woman.

You should have at
