Gandhi
|
| 00:01:52 |
There are more than yesterday. |
| 00:02:16 |
He will be saying prayers in |
| 00:02:20 |
He will be saying prayers in |
| 00:03:36 |
Brother, Bapu is already |
| 00:03:41 |
Oh, God! |
| 00:04:32 |
The object of this massive tribute... |
| 00:04:36 |
...died as he had always lived: |
| 00:04:38 |
A private man... |
| 00:04:39 |
...without wealth... |
| 00:04:40 |
...without property... |
| 00:04:42 |
...without official title or office. |
| 00:04:45 |
Mahatma Gandhi... |
| 00:04:47 |
...was not the commander of armies... |
| 00:04:49 |
...nor a ruler of vast lands. |
| 00:04:52 |
He could not boast |
| 00:04:54 |
...or artistic gift. |
| 00:04:57 |
Yet men... |
| 00:04:58 |
...governments, dignitaries |
| 00:05:03 |
...have joined hands today |
| 00:05:05 |
...to this little brown man |
| 00:05:07 |
...who led his country to freedom. |
| 00:05:11 |
In the words of |
| 00:05:14 |
...the American secretary of state: |
| 00:05:17 |
"Mahatma Gandhi has become |
| 00:05:20 |
...for the conscience of all mankind. |
| 00:05:23 |
He was a man... |
| 00:05:25 |
...who made humility... |
| 00:05:27 |
...and simple truth... |
| 00:05:28 |
...more powerful than empires." |
| 00:05:31 |
And Albert Einstein added: |
| 00:05:33 |
"Generations to come will scarce |
| 00:05:38 |
...ever in flesh and blood... |
| 00:05:41 |
...walked upon this earth." |
| 00:06:25 |
Tell me... |
| 00:06:26 |
...do you think about hell? |
| 00:06:29 |
No, neither do I. |
| 00:06:31 |
But this man here... |
| 00:06:33 |
...is a Christian, and he's written |
| 00:06:41 |
Excuse me, sir. |
| 00:06:42 |
How long have you been |
| 00:06:45 |
A week. |
| 00:06:46 |
I don't know how you got a ticket. |
| 00:06:49 |
Just what are you doing |
| 00:06:52 |
Why, I have a ticket. |
| 00:06:54 |
A first-class ticket. |
| 00:06:57 |
- How did you get it? |
| 00:07:00 |
I'm an attorney. |
| 00:07:02 |
There are no coloured attorneys |
| 00:07:04 |
Sit where you belong! |
| 00:07:05 |
I'll take your luggage back, sir. |
| 00:07:08 |
Just a moment, please. |
| 00:07:10 |
You see? |
| 00:07:12 |
Mohandas K. Gandhi, attorney at law. |
| 00:07:15 |
I'm going to conduct a case |
| 00:07:18 |
Didn't you hear me? There are no |
| 00:07:23 |
I was called to the bar in London... |
| 00:07:26 |
...and enrolled at |
| 00:07:29 |
I am, therefore, an attorney. |
| 00:07:31 |
And since I am, |
| 00:07:34 |
...I think we can deduce |
| 00:07:36 |
...one coloured attorney |
| 00:07:39 |
Smart bloody Kaffir! |
| 00:07:41 |
Throw him out. |
| 00:07:42 |
Just move your black ass |
| 00:07:45 |
...or I'll have you thrown off |
| 00:07:47 |
But I always go first class! |
| 00:08:56 |
But you're a rich man. |
| 00:08:58 |
Yes, I am rich. But I am Indian. |
| 00:09:00 |
I do not expect |
| 00:09:03 |
- In England, I was a poor student. |
| 00:09:05 |
This is part of England's Empire. |
| 00:09:07 |
Mr. Gandhi, you look at Mr. Khan and |
| 00:09:12 |
Most South Africans see him |
| 00:09:15 |
And the vast majority of Indians, |
| 00:09:19 |
...were brought here to |
| 00:09:22 |
Most Europeans don't want them |
| 00:09:24 |
But that is very unchristian... |
| 00:09:26 |
Mr. Gandhi, in this country... |
| 00:09:28 |
...lndians are not allowed to walk |
| 00:09:35 |
You mean, you employ Mr. Baker |
| 00:09:38 |
...but you can't walk down |
| 00:09:40 |
Well, I can. |
| 00:09:42 |
But I risk being kicked |
| 00:09:45 |
...less holy than Mr. Baker. |
| 00:09:57 |
Well, then it must be fought. |
| 00:09:59 |
We are children of God |
| 00:10:01 |
Allah be praised! |
| 00:10:03 |
And what battalions |
| 00:10:09 |
I will write to the press... |
| 00:10:11 |
...here and in England. |
| 00:10:14 |
I will use the courts. |
| 00:10:15 |
You'll cause a lot of trouble. |
| 00:10:18 |
We are members of the Empire. |
| 00:10:21 |
And we come from |
| 00:10:25 |
Why should we not walk on |
| 00:10:28 |
I rather like the idea of |
| 00:10:32 |
I'm sure our community could |
| 00:10:36 |
...even if you caused |
| 00:10:40 |
Especially if you caused |
| 00:11:02 |
There's the English reporter. |
| 00:11:07 |
You also said your article |
| 00:11:13 |
At least some of the Hindus |
| 00:11:16 |
No, I asked my wife |
| 00:11:21 |
Some of them are leaving. |
| 00:11:31 |
"Ladies and gentlemen: |
| 00:11:33 |
We have asked you to gather here |
| 00:11:37 |
...to be treated as equal citizens |
| 00:11:41 |
We do not seek conflict. |
| 00:11:43 |
We know the strength of |
| 00:11:47 |
...know that because of them, |
| 00:11:52 |
But we are determined |
| 00:11:57 |
The symbol of our status |
| 00:12:00 |
...which we must carry |
| 00:12:03 |
...but which no European |
| 00:12:06 |
The first step towards |
| 00:12:09 |
...is to eliminate |
| 00:12:20 |
Now? |
| 00:12:26 |
You write brilliantly, but you have |
| 00:12:32 |
"We do not want to ignite... |
| 00:12:35 |
...the fear or hatred of anyone. |
| 00:12:38 |
But we ask you... |
| 00:12:40 |
...Hindu, Muslim and Sikh... |
| 00:12:43 |
...to help us light up the sky... |
| 00:12:46 |
...and the minds of |
| 00:12:49 |
...with our defiance |
| 00:12:54 |
We will now burn the passes of |
| 00:13:00 |
We ask you to put |
| 00:13:03 |
You bloody dog! |
| 00:13:10 |
Those passes... |
| 00:13:11 |
...are government property! |
| 00:13:14 |
And I will arrest the first man |
| 00:13:29 |
Take him away. |
| 00:13:51 |
You little... |
| 00:13:53 |
...Sammy... |
| 00:13:54 |
...bastard! |
| 00:13:57 |
Now! Are there any more? |
| 00:14:00 |
If you want this kind of trouble, |
| 00:14:26 |
Let me go! |
| 00:14:28 |
Let me go! |
| 00:14:48 |
Stop. |
| 00:15:08 |
The London papers have |
| 00:15:10 |
The worst was the Daily Mail. |
| 00:15:12 |
They said the burning of passes... |
| 00:15:13 |
- Ask Mr. Herzog to see me. |
| 00:15:16 |
...in colonial affairs since |
| 00:15:20 |
They'll find we're better |
| 00:15:22 |
Mr. Gandhi will find |
| 00:15:27 |
"A High Court judge confirmed |
| 00:15:30 |
...would've been within his rights |
| 00:15:33 |
...since neither he nor Mr. Khan |
| 00:15:36 |
I told you about English law. |
| 00:15:38 |
As I told you about English policemen. |
| 00:15:42 |
Yes? |
| 00:15:44 |
We're very pleased |
| 00:15:47 |
And I am glad to be back. |
| 00:15:50 |
Come. |
| 00:15:52 |
Mind your face. |
| 00:16:00 |
Tomorrow I'll tell you about |
| 00:16:05 |
Come, come. |
| 00:16:11 |
Just like proper English gentlemen. |
| 00:16:15 |
They're boys and they're Indian. |
| 00:16:20 |
Will you take this off? |
| 00:16:29 |
I've got it. |
| 00:16:39 |
You'd be Gandhi. |
| 00:16:42 |
I thought you'd be bigger. |
| 00:16:45 |
- I'm sorry. |
| 00:16:48 |
My name is Charlie Andrews, sir. |
| 00:16:50 |
I've come from India. |
| 00:16:53 |
I've read a great deal about you. |
| 00:16:56 |
Some of it good, I hope. |
| 00:16:59 |
Would you care to walk? |
| 00:17:03 |
You're a clergyman? |
| 00:17:05 |
I met some remarkable people in India. |
| 00:17:07 |
And when I read what you were doing, |
| 00:17:10 |
- Does that surprise you? |
| 00:17:12 |
At first, I was amazed... |
| 00:17:14 |
...but when you're fighting |
| 00:17:16 |
...people seem to pop up, like you, |
| 00:17:21 |
Even when it's dangerous or... |
| 00:17:27 |
Hey, look what's coming! |
| 00:17:28 |
A white shepherd leading |
| 00:17:33 |
Perhaps we should... |
| 00:17:35 |
Doesn't the New Testament say: |
| 00:17:36 |
"If your enemy strikes you on |
| 00:17:40 |
The phrase was used metaphorically. |
| 00:17:42 |
I'm not so sure. |
| 00:17:44 |
I have thought about it a great deal. |
| 00:17:46 |
I suspect He meant |
| 00:17:49 |
...be willing to take a blow, |
| 00:17:52 |
...you won't strike back, |
| 00:17:54 |
And when you do that, it calls on |
| 00:17:58 |
...that makes his hatred for you |
| 00:18:02 |
I think Christ grasped that, |
| 00:18:06 |
Good morning. |
| 00:18:07 |
Get off the pavement, |
| 00:18:09 |
- Yeah, get off. |
| 00:18:12 |
Colin, what you doing? |
| 00:18:14 |
Nothing. |
| 00:18:15 |
Come out where I can see you! |
| 00:18:21 |
I said, what you doing? |
| 00:18:23 |
We were just trying |
| 00:18:26 |
You're late for work. |
| 00:18:30 |
Get on! |
| 00:18:37 |
You'll find there's room for us all. |
| 00:18:47 |
- That was lucky. |
| 00:18:49 |
I am, but I'm not |
| 00:18:51 |
...He plans His day |
| 00:18:57 |
You could call it |
| 00:19:00 |
But you've all come |
| 00:19:02 |
Our Gita, the Muslim's Koran, |
| 00:19:05 |
It's always the simple things |
| 00:19:08 |
"Love thy neighbour as thyself." |
| 00:19:11 |
Not always practised... |
| 00:19:13 |
...but it's something we Hindus |
| 00:19:16 |
That's the kind of thing |
| 00:19:19 |
Well, we shall try. |
| 00:19:20 |
Bad news, I'm afraid. |
| 00:19:22 |
They're going to change the pass laws. |
| 00:19:29 |
It's taken time... |
| 00:19:31 |
...but it needed to be done fairly. |
| 00:19:34 |
We didn't want to create an injustice |
| 00:19:37 |
...was abusing our |
| 00:19:39 |
Just one moment, sir, please. |
| 00:19:44 |
I beg your pardon. |
| 00:19:48 |
But on a short trip... |
| 00:19:49 |
...I wouldn't spend too much time |
| 00:19:53 |
It's a tiny factor |
| 00:19:57 |
Well, it is news at the moment. |
| 00:19:59 |
I plan to report on |
| 00:20:02 |
...as well as the economy. |
| 00:20:05 |
But I would like to meet |
| 00:20:07 |
Gandhi. |
| 00:20:10 |
Of course. |
| 00:20:13 |
...for these spiritually inclined |
| 00:20:16 |
But as an old lawyer, |
| 00:20:19 |
Mr. Gandhi is as shrewd a man |
| 00:20:22 |
...however otherworldly he may seem. |
| 00:20:25 |
But I'm sure you're enough |
| 00:20:27 |
I hope so. |
| 00:20:34 |
So it's not spiritualism |
| 00:20:37 |
We're not resisting anything but the |
| 00:20:41 |
You see? |
| 00:20:43 |
Hindus, Muslims... |
| 00:20:45 |
...Sikhs, Jews... |
| 00:20:48 |
...even Christians. |
| 00:20:49 |
Mr. Walker of the New York Times. |
| 00:20:51 |
How you doing? |
| 00:20:54 |
Without a paper, |
| 00:20:57 |
...you cannot unite a community. |
| 00:20:59 |
You belong to a |
| 00:21:05 |
And what do you think an important |
| 00:21:08 |
...about your response to |
| 00:21:12 |
I don't know. |
| 00:21:14 |
I'm still searching for a response. |
| 00:21:16 |
You will respect the law? |
| 00:21:19 |
There are unjust laws |
| 00:21:24 |
You're a small minority to take on |
| 00:21:27 |
...not to mention the British Empire. |
| 00:21:29 |
If you are a minority of one... |
| 00:21:32 |
...the truth is the truth. |
| 00:21:36 |
Herman Kallenbach... |
| 00:21:38 |
...our chief carpenter, |
| 00:21:41 |
Vince Walker, New York Times. |
| 00:21:42 |
This is quite a place |
| 00:21:45 |
And you call it an ashram? |
| 00:21:48 |
That's right. |
| 00:21:51 |
But it could stand for |
| 00:21:54 |
You're an ambitious man, Mr. Gandhi. |
| 00:21:56 |
I hope not. |
| 00:22:01 |
I hear that you also prepare |
| 00:22:05 |
- Is that part of the experiment? |
| 00:22:09 |
We will need another place set |
| 00:22:13 |
I will tell Tara. |
| 00:22:16 |
Yes, it's one way to learn |
| 00:22:20 |
...is as important as another's. |
| 00:22:22 |
While you're doing it, |
| 00:22:24 |
...seems far more important |
| 00:22:27 |
Please, come and join us. |
| 00:22:29 |
You'll need something before |
| 00:22:32 |
- Would you excuse me, please? |
| 00:22:44 |
What is it? |
| 00:22:47 |
Sora was sent to tell me I must... |
| 00:22:50 |
...rake and cover the latrine. |
| 00:22:52 |
That's right. |
| 00:22:53 |
Everyone takes their turn. |
| 00:22:55 |
It is the work of untouchables! |
| 00:22:57 |
In this place, |
| 00:23:00 |
...and no work is beneath any of us. |
| 00:23:02 |
I'm your wife! |
| 00:23:04 |
All the more reason. |
| 00:23:08 |
As you command. |
| 00:23:12 |
The others may follow you, |
| 00:23:16 |
...I knew you when you were a boy. |
| 00:23:18 |
It's not me. |
| 00:23:21 |
It's the principle. |
| 00:23:23 |
And you will do it with joy |
| 00:23:27 |
Not at all then. |
| 00:23:33 |
All right then, go. |
| 00:23:35 |
Go and leave the ashram altogether. |
| 00:23:39 |
Have you no shame? |
| 00:23:41 |
I'm your wife! |
| 00:23:54 |
Where do you expect me to go? |
| 00:23:57 |
What's the matter with me? |
| 00:24:07 |
You're human. |
| 00:24:10 |
Only human. |
| 00:24:14 |
And it's even harder |
| 00:24:17 |
...who do not even want to be |
| 00:24:24 |
I apologize. |
| 00:24:31 |
I must get back to that reporter. |
| 00:24:35 |
And I must... |
| 00:24:38 |
...rake and cover the latrine. |
| 00:25:06 |
I want to welcome you all. |
| 00:25:10 |
Every one of you. |
| 00:25:12 |
We have no secrets. |
| 00:25:22 |
Let us begin by being clear... |
| 00:25:25 |
...about General Smuts' new law. |
| 00:25:28 |
All Indians must now |
| 00:25:31 |
...like criminals. |
| 00:25:33 |
Men and women. |
| 00:25:34 |
No marriage other than a Christian |
| 00:25:39 |
Under this act... |
| 00:25:40 |
...our wives and mothers are whores. |
| 00:25:44 |
And every man here is a bastard. |
| 00:25:51 |
He has become quite good at this. |
| 00:25:56 |
And a policeman... |
| 00:25:59 |
...passing an Indian dwelling... |
| 00:26:01 |
...I will not call them homes... |
| 00:26:03 |
...may enter and demand the card of any |
| 00:26:07 |
Goddamn them! |
| 00:26:11 |
Understand... |
| 00:26:13 |
...he does not have to |
| 00:26:17 |
He may enter. |
| 00:26:18 |
I will not allow it! |
| 00:26:20 |
I swear to Allah. |
| 00:26:23 |
I'll kill the man who offers |
| 00:26:28 |
...and let them hang me! |
| 00:26:33 |
I say: Talk means nothing! |
| 00:26:38 |
Kill a few officials before |
| 00:26:42 |
Then they might think twice |
| 00:26:46 |
In that cause, |
| 00:26:58 |
I praise such courage. |
| 00:27:01 |
I need such courage... |
| 00:27:04 |
...because, in this cause, |
| 00:27:07 |
But, my friend... |
| 00:27:09 |
...there is no cause for which |
| 00:27:15 |
Whatever they do to us... |
| 00:27:17 |
...we will attack no one... |
| 00:27:19 |
...kill no one. |
| 00:27:21 |
But we will not give |
| 00:27:25 |
They will imprison us. They will fine |
| 00:27:30 |
But they cannot take away |
| 00:27:33 |
...if we do not give it to them. |
| 00:27:35 |
Have you been to prison? |
| 00:27:37 |
They beat us and torture us. |
| 00:27:40 |
I am asking you to fight. |
| 00:27:44 |
To fight against their anger, |
| 00:27:49 |
We will not strike a blow. |
| 00:27:53 |
But we will receive them. |
| 00:27:56 |
And through our pain... |
| 00:27:58 |
...we will make them see |
| 00:28:01 |
And it will hurt... |
| 00:28:03 |
...as all fighting hurts. |
| 00:28:07 |
But we cannot lose. |
| 00:28:09 |
We cannot. |
| 00:28:13 |
They may torture my body... |
| 00:28:15 |
...break my bones... |
| 00:28:18 |
...even kill me. |
| 00:28:20 |
Then... |
| 00:28:21 |
...they will have my dead body... |
| 00:28:25 |
...not my obedience. |
| 00:28:46 |
We are Hindu and Muslim... |
| 00:28:50 |
...children of God, each one of us. |
| 00:28:54 |
Let us take a solemn oath |
| 00:28:58 |
...that, come what may... |
| 00:29:01 |
...we will not submit to this law. |
| 00:29:43 |
God save our gracious King |
| 00:29:48 |
God save our noble King |
| 00:29:54 |
God save our King |
| 00:30:56 |
These men are contracted labourers. |
| 00:30:59 |
They belong in the mines. |
| 00:31:00 |
You put their comrades in jail. |
| 00:31:03 |
When you free them... |
| 00:31:04 |
...they will go back to work. |
| 00:31:07 |
I've warned you. |
| 00:31:09 |
We've warned each other. |
| 00:31:20 |
I don't think that's very good. |
| 00:32:05 |
Steady, steady. |
| 00:32:07 |
Stop! |
| 00:32:19 |
At the canter, charge! |
| 00:32:24 |
We should lie down. |
| 00:32:26 |
Down! |
| 00:32:28 |
The horses won't trample on us. |
| 00:33:08 |
Follow me! Follow me! |
| 00:33:30 |
Now what the hell do we do? |
| 00:33:32 |
Let them march. |
| 00:33:37 |
In our own sweet time, |
| 00:33:41 |
...we'll get them. |
| 00:33:46 |
One law! |
| 00:33:47 |
One king! |
| 00:33:48 |
One law! |
| 00:33:49 |
One king! |
| 00:33:55 |
Some of you may be rejoicing that |
| 00:34:00 |
But I would ask you, assembled |
| 00:34:04 |
...to recognize that we are |
| 00:34:08 |
...something so unexpected, |
| 00:34:11 |
...that it is not surprising |
| 00:34:15 |
What Mr. Gandhi has forced us to do... |
| 00:34:18 |
...is ask questions about ourselves. |
| 00:34:22 |
As Christians, those are |
| 00:34:27 |
How do we treat men |
| 00:34:33 |
...who will not fight... |
| 00:34:35 |
...but will not comply? |
| 00:34:38 |
As Christians, or as people |
| 00:34:55 |
They're sparing no one, I see. |
| 00:34:58 |
No, you were the surprise. |
| 00:35:01 |
It has been all over the prison. |
| 00:35:03 |
We thought they'd be too afraid |
| 00:35:05 |
So did I. |
| 00:35:16 |
I don't know who they've |
| 00:35:20 |
Have they touched the women? |
| 00:35:22 |
My wife publicly defied the law. |
| 00:35:26 |
It split the government. |
| 00:35:28 |
Well, that's one victory. |
| 00:35:31 |
If we hold firm, |
| 00:35:34 |
Don't worry. |
| 00:35:35 |
I've never seen men so determined. |
| 00:35:38 |
You have given them a way to fight. |
| 00:35:46 |
Gandhi! |
| 00:35:47 |
I want Gandhi! |
| 00:35:49 |
Which Sammy is it? |
| 00:36:30 |
Mr. Gandhi. |
| 00:36:33 |
I thought we might have |
| 00:36:37 |
Thank you, Daniels. |
| 00:36:42 |
Will you have a glass of sherry? |
| 00:36:44 |
Thank you, no. |
| 00:36:46 |
Perhaps some tea? |
| 00:36:47 |
I dined at the prison. |
| 00:36:53 |
Please, do come and sit down. |
| 00:37:11 |
I've more or less decided to ask |
| 00:37:15 |
...that you have taken |
| 00:37:18 |
Well, if you asked, General Smuts, |
| 00:37:22 |
It's not quite that simple. |
| 00:37:25 |
Somehow, I expected not. |
| 00:37:27 |
I thought of calling for |
| 00:37:30 |
...to investigate the new legislation. |
| 00:37:33 |
I think I could guarantee they would |
| 00:37:36 |
I congratulate them. |
| 00:37:38 |
But they might also recommend... |
| 00:37:41 |
...that all future Indian immigration |
| 00:37:45 |
...even stopped. |
| 00:37:54 |
Immigration was not an issue |
| 00:37:59 |
It would be wrong of us |
| 00:38:03 |
We are in a position of advantage. |
| 00:38:12 |
I'm ordering the release of all |
| 00:38:17 |
You yourself are free |
| 00:38:28 |
Assuming we are in agreement. |
| 00:38:30 |
Yes, yes. |
| 00:38:32 |
It's just that in these clothes, |
| 00:38:36 |
All right. Fine. |
| 00:38:40 |
I'm afraid I have no money. |
| 00:38:43 |
Neither have I. |
| 00:38:46 |
I'm awfully sorry. |
| 00:38:49 |
Daniels... |
| 00:38:50 |
...will you lend Mr. Gandhi |
| 00:38:53 |
I beg your pardon, sir? |
| 00:38:56 |
How far will you be going, Gandhi? |
| 00:38:58 |
Now that this is settled, I'd thought |
| 00:39:03 |
But a shilling will do splendidly |
| 00:39:14 |
Thank you. |
| 00:39:21 |
I'm obliged, Mr. Daniels... |
| 00:39:23 |
...but I can find my own way out. |
| 00:39:42 |
Guard of honour! |
| 00:39:45 |
Guard of honour! |
| 00:39:47 |
Attention! |
| 00:40:01 |
Present arms! |
| 00:40:09 |
- My God, he loves it! |
| 00:40:12 |
Generals' reputations are |
| 00:40:15 |
...fighting on the Western front. |
| 00:40:18 |
Not as military governors in India. |
| 00:40:22 |
What the devil's going on back there? |
| 00:40:24 |
Must be that Indian who made |
| 00:40:27 |
My cabin boy told me he was onboard. |
| 00:40:30 |
There he is. |
| 00:40:34 |
God, he's dressed like a coolie! |
| 00:40:36 |
I thought he was a lawyer. |
| 00:40:38 |
Mr. Gandhi, have you refused |
| 00:40:42 |
No, I haven't refused. |
| 00:40:43 |
I simply wanted to dress the way |
| 00:40:47 |
Will you support the war effort? |
| 00:40:48 |
If I wish to enjoy the benefits |
| 00:40:53 |
...it would be wrong of me |
| 00:40:57 |
Now that you're back in India, |
| 00:40:59 |
I don't know. |
| 00:41:01 |
- I don't know. |
| 00:41:03 |
As an Indian woman, how could you |
| 00:41:06 |
My dignity comes |
| 00:41:10 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:41:17 |
Just a few words, then we'll |
| 00:41:20 |
May I? |
| 00:41:32 |
I'm glad to be home... |
| 00:41:39 |
...and I thank you for your greeting. |
| 00:41:59 |
I'll follow with your wife. |
| 00:42:01 |
Don't worry. |
| 00:42:06 |
Who's that young man? |
| 00:42:08 |
That's young Nehru. |
| 00:42:09 |
He's got his father's intellect, |
| 00:42:12 |
...and the devil's own charm. |
| 00:42:13 |
If they don't ruin him at Cambridge... |
| 00:42:17 |
He might amount to something. |
| 00:42:24 |
I must say, when I first saw you as |
| 00:42:29 |
...I never thought I'd greet you |
| 00:42:31 |
I'm hardly that, Mr. Patel. |
| 00:42:33 |
Yes, you are! |
| 00:42:35 |
It's been 200 years |
| 00:42:38 |
...at the British Empire |
| 00:42:41 |
And stop calling me Mr. Patel. |
| 00:43:09 |
The new military governor of the |
| 00:43:13 |
Too bad you came back third class. |
| 00:43:16 |
He might have been impressed... |
| 00:43:17 |
...by a successful barrister |
| 00:43:22 |
Yes, I'm sure. |
| 00:43:34 |
Are you involved too, Mrs. Nehru? |
| 00:43:37 |
No. I leave practical matters |
| 00:43:41 |
...and revolution to my son. |
| 00:43:43 |
Mr. Gandhi, I'd like you to meet |
| 00:43:47 |
...member of congress and leader |
| 00:43:49 |
How do you do? |
| 00:43:51 |
And Mr. Prakash, who, I fear... |
| 00:43:53 |
...is awaiting trial for sedition |
| 00:43:57 |
I have not actually pulled |
| 00:44:00 |
I have simply written... |
| 00:44:01 |
...if an Englishman kills an Indian |
| 00:44:05 |
...it is an Indian's duty |
| 00:44:07 |
...for enforcing his law |
| 00:44:10 |
It's a clever argument. It may not |
| 00:44:13 |
We hope you'll join us in our |
| 00:44:18 |
Excuse me. May l, Mohan? |
| 00:44:22 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:44:25 |
Sorry to rush you. |
| 00:44:28 |
He told the press |
| 00:44:30 |
That's nonviolence for you. |
| 00:44:34 |
You know, Mohan... |
| 00:44:35 |
...now I have a confession to make. |
| 00:44:38 |
I didn't decide to come |
| 00:44:40 |
Professor Gokhale sent me. |
| 00:44:44 |
We are trying |
| 00:44:47 |
But the British keep trying |
| 00:44:49 |
...into religions, |
| 00:44:54 |
What you were writing |
| 00:44:56 |
...that's what we need here. |
| 00:44:58 |
I have so much to learn about India. |
| 00:45:00 |
And I have to begin my practice again. |
| 00:45:04 |
Nonsense. Go on, Charlie. |
| 00:45:08 |
We want none of you imperialists here. |
| 00:45:11 |
All right, I'll go |
| 00:45:15 |
You go and find a pretty Hindu woman... |
| 00:45:17 |
...and convert her to Christianity. |
| 00:45:20 |
That's as much mischief |
| 00:45:23 |
Come, let's find a quiet corner. |
| 00:45:27 |
Now, you forget about your practice. |
| 00:45:30 |
You have other things to do. |
| 00:45:33 |
India has many men |
| 00:45:37 |
And it's their privilege to nourish |
| 00:45:41 |
...who can raise India |
| 00:45:45 |
I'll see to it. |
| 00:45:46 |
You begin your journal. |
| 00:45:48 |
I have little to say. |
| 00:45:50 |
Come, let's sit down. |
| 00:45:52 |
India is an alien country to me. |
| 00:45:54 |
Change that. |
| 00:45:56 |
Go and find India. |
| 00:45:59 |
Not what you see here... |
| 00:46:00 |
...but the real India. |
| 00:46:03 |
You'll see what needs to be said... |
| 00:46:06 |
...what we need to hear. |
| 00:46:15 |
When I saw you in that tunic, I knew. |
| 00:46:19 |
I knew I could die in peace. |
| 00:46:23 |
Make India proud of herself. |
| 00:49:44 |
Charlie, please. |
| 00:49:47 |
But the air is lovely. |
| 00:49:50 |
Please! Come in. |
| 00:49:53 |
No violence, please. |
| 00:49:55 |
Let me hang on with two hands |
| 00:49:58 |
Englishman, sahib! |
| 00:50:00 |
Come, there is room up here! |
| 00:50:04 |
Put your foot on the window. |
| 00:50:05 |
Come! |
| 00:50:13 |
- What are you doing? |
| 00:50:19 |
Charlie! Be careful! |
| 00:50:21 |
Let go. Let go! |
| 00:50:23 |
- Let go! |
| 00:50:37 |
Hello. |
| 00:50:40 |
You see? |
| 00:50:43 |
Sahib? |
| 00:50:46 |
Are you a Christian? |
| 00:50:47 |
Yes, I'm a Christian. |
| 00:50:49 |
I know a Christian. |
| 00:50:51 |
She drinks blood. |
| 00:50:54 |
Blood of Christ. Every Sunday. |
| 00:51:01 |
Charlie! |
| 00:51:06 |
It's all right, sahib. |
| 00:51:09 |
Bend! |
| 00:51:13 |
Pray to God, sahib. |
| 00:51:18 |
I agree with Jinnah. |
| 00:51:20 |
Now that the Americans are in, |
| 00:51:24 |
The Germans are worn out as it is. |
| 00:51:27 |
And our first act should be... |
| 00:51:29 |
...to convene |
| 00:51:32 |
...and demand independence. |
| 00:51:35 |
And we will speak |
| 00:51:40 |
And we should invite Gandhi. |
| 00:51:41 |
What the devil's happened to him? |
| 00:51:44 |
He's discovering India. |
| 00:51:45 |
Which is better than |
| 00:51:48 |
Invite him, let him say his piece |
| 00:51:51 |
...then let him slip into oblivion. |
| 00:52:22 |
Insurgents. |
| 00:52:24 |
They've derailed a troop train. |
| 00:52:27 |
Keep clear! |
| 00:52:35 |
They've killed an English soldier. |
| 00:52:44 |
We were asked for toleration. |
| 00:52:47 |
We were asked for patience. |
| 00:52:50 |
Some of us gave it... |
| 00:52:52 |
...and some did not. |
| 00:52:56 |
Their war is over. |
| 00:52:59 |
And those of us who supported it... |
| 00:53:02 |
...and those of us who refused... |
| 00:53:04 |
...must forget our differences. |
| 00:53:08 |
And there can be no excuses... |
| 00:53:11 |
...from the British now. |
| 00:53:14 |
India wants... |
| 00:53:16 |
...home rule. |
| 00:53:17 |
India... |
| 00:53:19 |
...demands home rule! |
| 00:53:36 |
Congratulations. |
| 00:53:48 |
And let no one question... |
| 00:53:51 |
...that Mr. Jinnah speaks... |
| 00:53:53 |
...not just for the Muslims... |
| 00:53:55 |
...but for all India! |
| 00:54:03 |
And now... |
| 00:54:04 |
...l'm going to introduce to you... |
| 00:54:07 |
...a man whose writings... |
| 00:54:09 |
...we are all becoming familiar with. |
| 00:54:11 |
A man who stood in high esteem |
| 00:54:15 |
A man whose accomplishments in |
| 00:54:20 |
Mr. Mohandas Gandhi! |
| 00:54:24 |
Your journal has made great impact. |
| 00:54:26 |
I'm flattered by Mr. Patel. |
| 00:54:29 |
I would be even more flattered |
| 00:54:32 |
But it is true. |
| 00:54:33 |
I read it. Often! |
| 00:54:47 |
Since I returned from South Africa... |
| 00:54:52 |
...l've travelled over much of India. |
| 00:54:56 |
And I know that I could travel |
| 00:55:00 |
...and still only see |
| 00:55:03 |
And yet, I already know... |
| 00:55:06 |
...that what we say here... |
| 00:55:08 |
...means nothing to |
| 00:55:12 |
Here, we make speeches |
| 00:55:16 |
...and those English liberal magazines |
| 00:55:23 |
But the people of India... |
| 00:55:25 |
...are... |
| 00:55:27 |
...untouched. |
| 00:55:29 |
Their politics are confined to bread... |
| 00:55:32 |
...and salt. |
| 00:55:34 |
Illiterate they may be, |
| 00:55:36 |
They see no reason to give their |
| 00:55:40 |
...who simply want to take over |
| 00:55:43 |
...in the name of freedom. |
| 00:55:46 |
This congress tells the world... |
| 00:55:49 |
...it represents India. |
| 00:55:52 |
My brothers... |
| 00:55:54 |
...lndia... |
| 00:55:55 |
...is 700,000 villages... |
| 00:56:00 |
...not a few hundred lawyers in Delhi... |
| 00:56:03 |
...and Bombay. |
| 00:56:05 |
Until we stand in the fields... |
| 00:56:08 |
...with the millions that toil |
| 00:56:12 |
...we will not represent India. |
| 00:56:15 |
Nor will we ever be able |
| 00:56:20 |
...as one nation. |
| 00:56:38 |
Have you read his magazine? |
| 00:56:40 |
No. |
| 00:56:42 |
But I think I'm going to. |
| 00:56:48 |
Pull over. |
| 00:56:49 |
This can't be the way. |
| 00:56:51 |
Yes, I'm sure this is |
| 00:56:56 |
To think I almost got |
| 00:56:59 |
...when all this was awaiting me. |
| 00:57:19 |
We're looking for Mr. Gandhi. |
| 00:57:24 |
- You'll find him under that tree. |
| 00:57:27 |
I'm anxious to meet this new force. |
| 00:57:30 |
I try to live like an Indian, |
| 00:57:33 |
It's stupid, of course. |
| 00:57:35 |
Because in our country... |
| 00:57:37 |
...it is the British who decide |
| 00:57:40 |
...what he may buy, what he may sell. |
| 00:57:43 |
And from their luxury... |
| 00:57:45 |
...in the midst |
| 00:57:49 |
...they instruct us on |
| 00:57:53 |
So it's only natural |
| 00:57:57 |
...assume an air of Eastern dignity... |
| 00:58:00 |
...while greedily assimilating... |
| 00:58:02 |
...every Western weakness as quickly |
| 00:58:08 |
If we have home rule... |
| 00:58:11 |
...that'll change. |
| 00:58:16 |
Would you, please? |
| 00:58:19 |
Why should the British |
| 00:58:23 |
We must take |
| 00:58:26 |
We only make wild speeches or |
| 00:58:31 |
We've bred an army of anarchists... |
| 00:58:32 |
...but not one group that can |
| 00:58:36 |
Hello! Hello! |
| 00:58:38 |
But I thought you were |
| 00:58:40 |
Now just spread it around. |
| 00:58:43 |
There you are. |
| 00:58:45 |
They like the new peelings |
| 00:58:51 |
Where there's injustice, |
| 00:58:54 |
The question is, do you fight |
| 00:58:58 |
I've found we're all such sinners, |
| 00:59:02 |
And if we really want |
| 00:59:05 |
...there are better ways |
| 00:59:07 |
...than derailing trains |
| 00:59:11 |
The fire is ready. |
| 00:59:14 |
You see, even here... |
| 00:59:17 |
...we live under tyranny. |
| 00:59:25 |
What did I tell you? |
| 00:59:28 |
I can see the British shaking now. |
| 00:59:47 |
Hello! |
| 00:59:49 |
I'm looking for Mr. Gandhi. |
| 00:59:54 |
I've been trying to speak |
| 01:00:00 |
Our crops. |
| 01:00:01 |
We cannot sell them. |
| 01:00:04 |
We have no money. |
| 01:00:06 |
But the landlords still |
| 01:00:10 |
We have nothing left. |
| 01:00:54 |
Mr. Taylor, sir. Up here! |
| 01:01:09 |
Jesus! |
| 01:01:11 |
What the hell is going on? |
| 01:01:13 |
I don't know, sir. |
| 01:01:20 |
The agent got a telegram. |
| 01:01:21 |
And it just said, "He is coming," |
| 01:01:31 |
Who the hell is "he"? |
| 01:01:34 |
I don't know, sir. |
| 01:01:58 |
Out of the way. |
| 01:02:05 |
- Who the devil are you? |
| 01:02:09 |
Whoever you are, |
| 01:02:11 |
I suggest you get back on |
| 01:02:14 |
They seem to want me. |
| 01:02:16 |
Now, look here. |
| 01:02:17 |
I'll put you under arrest |
| 01:02:20 |
On what charge? |
| 01:02:25 |
I don't want any trouble. |
| 01:02:27 |
I'm an Indian travelling in my own |
| 01:02:34 |
Well, there had better not be. |
| 01:02:40 |
Make way for the officer. |
| 01:03:01 |
For years... |
| 01:03:03 |
...the landlords have ordered us... |
| 01:03:05 |
...to grow indigo... |
| 01:03:07 |
...for dyeing cloth. |
| 01:03:09 |
Always, they took part |
| 01:03:14 |
But now... |
| 01:03:16 |
...everyone buys their cloth |
| 01:03:20 |
So no one wants... |
| 01:03:22 |
...our indigo. |
| 01:03:24 |
The landlords... |
| 01:03:26 |
...say we must pay our rent... |
| 01:03:28 |
...in cash. |
| 01:03:32 |
What we could... |
| 01:03:33 |
...we sold. |
| 01:03:35 |
The police have taken the rest. |
| 01:03:39 |
There is... |
| 01:03:40 |
...no food. |
| 01:03:43 |
I understand. |
| 01:03:47 |
The landlords are British? |
| 01:03:59 |
What we can do, we will try to do. |
| 01:04:20 |
Shukla... |
| 01:04:22 |
...is all Champaran like this? |
| 01:04:24 |
Yes, Bapu. |
| 01:04:26 |
The whole region. |
| 01:04:28 |
Hundreds. |
| 01:04:29 |
Thousands. |
| 01:04:33 |
Some landlords have tried to help. |
| 01:04:36 |
But what can they do? |
| 01:04:52 |
- Are you Mr. M.K. Gandhi? |
| 01:04:55 |
I'm sorry, you're under arrest. |
| 01:04:57 |
I'm not sorry at all. |
| 01:05:09 |
Who did you say |
| 01:05:14 |
Oh, no! |
| 01:05:22 |
Wouldn't you know, that's the best |
| 01:05:26 |
India's full of grief, old man. |
| 01:05:28 |
I've got no idea. |
| 01:05:29 |
All I know is there's a riot or |
| 01:05:32 |
The whole company's ordered out. |
| 01:05:51 |
I would like to see the prisoner. |
| 01:06:04 |
On the left, sir. |
| 01:06:15 |
Shades of South Africa. |
| 01:06:17 |
Not quite. |
| 01:06:18 |
They're only holding me... |
| 01:06:20 |
...until the magistrate's hearing. |
| 01:06:22 |
Then it will be prison. |
| 01:06:27 |
Did they take your clothes? |
| 01:06:30 |
These are my clothes now. |
| 01:06:33 |
You always had |
| 01:06:37 |
If I want to be one with them... |
| 01:06:39 |
...I have to live like them. |
| 01:06:41 |
Yes, I think you do. |
| 01:06:43 |
But thank God we all don't. |
| 01:06:46 |
My puritanism runs in a different way. |
| 01:06:48 |
I'm far too modest for such a display. |
| 01:06:56 |
Couldn't I be let in with |
| 01:07:12 |
They're calling you "Bapu." |
| 01:07:14 |
I thought it meant "father." |
| 01:07:16 |
It does. |
| 01:07:18 |
We must be getting old, Charlie. |
| 01:07:23 |
What do you want me to do? |
| 01:07:28 |
I think that you can help us most... |
| 01:07:30 |
...by taking that assignment |
| 01:07:36 |
I have to be sure... |
| 01:07:38 |
They have to be sure |
| 01:07:41 |
...can be done by Indians alone. |
| 01:07:55 |
But you know the strategy. |
| 01:07:57 |
The world is full of people who |
| 01:08:00 |
It is their strength that we need. |
| 01:08:02 |
Before you go... |
| 01:08:04 |
...you could start us |
| 01:08:17 |
I must leave from Calcutta... |
| 01:08:20 |
...and soon. |
| 01:08:24 |
Say goodbye to Ba for me. |
| 01:08:30 |
Well, I... |
| 01:08:33 |
There are no goodbyes for us, Charlie. |
| 01:08:36 |
Wherever you are, |
| 01:08:59 |
I'm going to clear the courtroom. |
| 01:09:01 |
I'm not sure we'd be able to. |
| 01:09:03 |
It is a first hearing. |
| 01:09:05 |
And he's a lawyer. |
| 01:09:08 |
I don't know where |
| 01:09:10 |
I don't either, but the troops |
| 01:09:13 |
How did the press get here |
| 01:09:16 |
That English clergyman sent |
| 01:09:19 |
I understand one of them |
| 01:09:35 |
You have been ordered |
| 01:09:37 |
...on the grounds |
| 01:09:46 |
With respect, I refuse to go. |
| 01:09:50 |
Do you want to go to jail? |
| 01:09:53 |
As you wish. |
| 01:09:59 |
All right. |
| 01:10:01 |
I will release you on bail... |
| 01:10:03 |
...of 1 00 rupees |
| 01:10:10 |
I refuse to pay 1 00 rupees. |
| 01:10:22 |
Then I will grant release on bail... |
| 01:10:24 |
...without payment |
| 01:10:53 |
Gandhiji! Gandhiji! |
| 01:11:00 |
We are from Bihar. |
| 01:11:02 |
We received a cable |
| 01:11:04 |
...who was at Cambridge with us. |
| 01:11:06 |
His name is Nehru. |
| 01:11:08 |
- I believe you know him. |
| 01:11:10 |
He tells us you need help, |
| 01:11:15 |
I want to document coldly, rationally, |
| 01:11:20 |
It may take months. |
| 01:11:21 |
We have no pressing engagements. |
| 01:11:23 |
You will have to live |
| 01:11:26 |
There will be risks. |
| 01:11:46 |
I don't know what |
| 01:11:48 |
But good God, man! |
| 01:11:49 |
You yourself raised the rent simply |
| 01:11:54 |
And some of these others: |
| 01:11:57 |
...demanding services without pay. |
| 01:12:00 |
Even refusing them water. |
| 01:12:02 |
In India! |
| 01:12:04 |
Nobody knows what it is to try |
| 01:12:07 |
You've made this half-naked |
| 01:12:09 |
...into an international hero. |
| 01:12:11 |
"One lone man, marching dusty roads, |
| 01:12:16 |
...and a bamboo staff, doing battle |
| 01:12:19 |
At home, children are |
| 01:12:24 |
What do they want? |
| 01:12:27 |
Gareth! |
| 01:12:29 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:12:31 |
There's a rebate on rents paid. |
| 01:12:33 |
They're to be free to grow crops |
| 01:12:36 |
And a commission, part Indian, |
| 01:12:43 |
That would satisfy him? |
| 01:12:47 |
And His Majesty's government. |
| 01:12:49 |
It only needs your signature |
| 01:13:00 |
It'll be worth it |
| 01:13:06 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 01:13:08 |
- We're too damned liberal. |
| 01:13:12 |
At least this has made the government |
| 01:13:16 |
...like Mr. Gandhi should be allowed, |
| 01:13:34 |
Where is Mr. Gandhi? |
| 01:13:36 |
He said he preferred to walk, sir. |
| 01:13:39 |
I followed him most of the way. |
| 01:13:43 |
He came third class. |
| 01:13:46 |
God, give me patience. |
| 01:13:53 |
My house is honoured. |
| 01:13:55 |
The honour is ours. |
| 01:13:57 |
I'd like you to meet |
| 01:14:00 |
He's interested in flowers. I told |
| 01:14:04 |
I'll send for my gardener. |
| 01:14:07 |
Thank you. |
| 01:14:12 |
Gentlemen, the hero of Champaran. |
| 01:14:15 |
Only the stubborn man of Champaran. |
| 01:14:18 |
Mr. Patel you know. |
| 01:14:20 |
Maulana Azad, my colleague |
| 01:14:23 |
...and just recently |
| 01:14:27 |
Mr. Kripalani. |
| 01:14:29 |
And of course, you know Mr. Nehru. |
| 01:14:33 |
I'm beginning to know Mr. Nehru. |
| 01:14:36 |
Please sit down. Do sit down. |
| 01:14:38 |
Gentlemen, I've asked you to come |
| 01:14:42 |
...because I've had the chance |
| 01:14:45 |
And it is exactly as was rumoured. |
| 01:14:48 |
Arrest without warrant, |
| 01:14:51 |
...for possession of materials |
| 01:14:54 |
And your writings |
| 01:14:58 |
So much for helping them |
| 01:15:00 |
There is only one answer: |
| 01:15:04 |
...they can never handle. |
| 01:15:06 |
I don't think so. |
| 01:15:08 |
Terrorism would only justify |
| 01:15:12 |
And what kind of leaders |
| 01:15:16 |
Are they men that we'd want |
| 01:15:19 |
I too have read |
| 01:15:22 |
...but I'd rather be ruled by an |
| 01:15:26 |
And I don't intend to submit |
| 01:15:28 |
I must say, it seems to me... |
| 01:15:31 |
...that it's gone beyond remedies |
| 01:15:36 |
If I may... |
| 01:15:37 |
...l, for one, have never |
| 01:15:43 |
I'm with Mr. Jinnah. |
| 01:15:44 |
We must never submit to such laws... |
| 01:15:47 |
...ever. |
| 01:15:49 |
And I think our resistance must be |
| 01:15:56 |
May I? |
| 01:15:59 |
I want to embarrass all those |
| 01:16:05 |
Thank you. |
| 01:16:09 |
All of them. |
| 01:16:11 |
- Forgive my stupid illustration. |
| 01:16:14 |
No, please. |
| 01:16:16 |
But I want to change their minds... |
| 01:16:18 |
...not kill them |
| 01:16:24 |
And what resistance would you offer? |
| 01:16:27 |
The law is due |
| 01:16:31 |
I want to call upon the nation... |
| 01:16:33 |
...to make that a day of |
| 01:16:37 |
A general strike? |
| 01:16:39 |
I mean a day of prayer and fasting. |
| 01:16:42 |
Of course, no work could be done. |
| 01:16:46 |
No trains. |
| 01:16:47 |
No factories. |
| 01:16:49 |
No administration. |
| 01:16:52 |
The country would stop. |
| 01:16:55 |
My God, it would terrify them! |
| 01:16:58 |
350 million people at prayer? |
| 01:17:01 |
Even the English newspapers |
| 01:17:04 |
...and explain why. |
| 01:17:06 |
- But could we get people to do it? |
| 01:17:09 |
Champaran stirred the whole country. |
| 01:17:13 |
Thank you. |
| 01:17:15 |
They're calling you "Mahatma." |
| 01:17:17 |
"Great Soul." |
| 01:17:20 |
Fortunately, such news comes |
| 01:17:26 |
I think if we all worked |
| 01:17:29 |
...all of congress... |
| 01:17:31 |
...every avenue we know... |
| 01:17:33 |
I could get articles printed in most |
| 01:17:47 |
Only civilians will visit. |
| 01:17:50 |
Of course, the army will |
| 01:17:53 |
I'll have you know, |
| 01:17:59 |
They'll be damn hungry by morning, |
| 01:18:10 |
Mr. Kinnoch. |
| 01:18:12 |
Sir, I'm afraid it's confirmed. |
| 01:18:15 |
Nothing's working, sir. |
| 01:18:16 |
The buses, the trains, the markets. |
| 01:18:19 |
There's not even any ordinary |
| 01:18:22 |
Is it simply Delhi and Bombay? |
| 01:18:25 |
Karachi, Calcutta, Madras, Bangalore. |
| 01:18:28 |
The army had to take over |
| 01:18:32 |
...or we'd be cut off from the world. |
| 01:18:39 |
I can't believe it. |
| 01:18:41 |
He's going to sell his own paper |
| 01:18:44 |
They've called for a parade |
| 01:18:48 |
Arrest him. |
| 01:18:56 |
He's to go to the visitors' room. |
| 01:19:16 |
Bapu. |
| 01:19:18 |
You too? |
| 01:19:20 |
It seems less formal than Mahatma. |
| 01:19:31 |
Since your arrest, |
| 01:19:35 |
Not big, but they keep breaking out. |
| 01:19:38 |
I run to stop them. |
| 01:19:40 |
And Patel and Kripalani, |
| 01:19:45 |
But some English civilians |
| 01:19:51 |
And the army is attacking |
| 01:19:56 |
Sometimes worse. |
| 01:20:03 |
Maybe I'm wrong. |
| 01:20:06 |
Maybe we're not ready yet. |
| 01:20:09 |
In South Africa, |
| 01:20:17 |
The government's afraid. |
| 01:20:20 |
They're more afraid |
| 01:20:23 |
The viceroy's agreed to your release |
| 01:20:30 |
I've never spoken for anything else. |
| 01:20:58 |
England... |
| 01:21:00 |
...is so powerful. |
| 01:21:02 |
Its army... |
| 01:21:03 |
...and its navy... |
| 01:21:05 |
...all its modern weapons... |
| 01:21:08 |
But when a great power like that... |
| 01:21:11 |
...strikes defenceless people... |
| 01:21:14 |
...it shows its brutality... |
| 01:21:17 |
...its own weakness. |
| 01:21:18 |
Especially when those people |
| 01:21:49 |
Fighting back will not work. |
| 01:21:51 |
And that is why the Mahatma... |
| 01:21:54 |
...begs us to take |
| 01:22:27 |
Back away! Back away! |
| 01:22:39 |
But if we riot... |
| 01:22:41 |
...if we fight back... |
| 01:22:44 |
...we become the vandals... |
| 01:22:46 |
...and they become the law. |
| 01:22:48 |
If we bear their blows, |
| 01:22:54 |
God and His law are on our... |
| 01:23:25 |
Front rank, kneel in position! |
| 01:23:31 |
We... |
| 01:23:33 |
...must have the courage... |
| 01:23:35 |
...to take their anger. |
| 01:23:50 |
Should we issue a warning, sir? |
| 01:23:54 |
They've had their warning: |
| 01:23:56 |
No meetings. |
| 01:24:02 |
Fire! |
| 01:24:34 |
Take your time! |
| 01:24:57 |
Corporal! |
| 01:24:59 |
To your left. |
| 01:25:46 |
General Dyer... |
| 01:25:49 |
...is it correct that you ordered |
| 01:25:52 |
...at the thickest part of the crowd? |
| 01:25:55 |
That is so. |
| 01:26:01 |
1 51 6 casualties with... |
| 01:26:05 |
...1 650 bullets. |
| 01:26:09 |
My intention was |
| 01:26:11 |
...that would have an impact |
| 01:26:19 |
General... |
| 01:26:22 |
...had you been able to |
| 01:26:26 |
...would you have opened fire |
| 01:26:33 |
I think, probably, yes. |
| 01:26:37 |
General, did you realize there were |
| 01:26:43 |
I did. |
| 01:26:45 |
But that was irrelevant |
| 01:26:48 |
That is correct. |
| 01:26:56 |
Could I ask you what provision |
| 01:27:03 |
I was ready to help any who applied. |
| 01:27:08 |
General, how does a child... |
| 01:27:11 |
...shot with a.303 Lee-Enfield... |
| 01:27:14 |
...apply for help? |
| 01:30:53 |
Forgive me, gentlemen, |
| 01:30:57 |
...that His Majesty's government |
| 01:31:02 |
...both the massacre and |
| 01:31:06 |
Now... |
| 01:31:08 |
...what I would like to do... |
| 01:31:10 |
...is to come to some compromise |
| 01:31:14 |
If you will excuse me, |
| 01:31:17 |
...it is our view that matters |
| 01:31:21 |
We think it is time you recognized... |
| 01:31:23 |
...that you are masters |
| 01:31:28 |
Despite the best intentions |
| 01:31:30 |
...you must, in the nature of things, |
| 01:31:35 |
General Dyer is but an extreme |
| 01:31:40 |
It is time you left. |
| 01:31:45 |
With respect, Mr. Gandhi... |
| 01:31:48 |
...without British administration... |
| 01:31:50 |
...this country would be |
| 01:31:52 |
Mr. Kinnoch... |
| 01:31:56 |
...I beg you to accept |
| 01:31:58 |
...who would not prefer |
| 01:32:00 |
...to the good government |
| 01:32:03 |
My dear sir, India is British. |
| 01:32:06 |
We're hardly an alien power. |
| 01:32:15 |
Even if His Majesty could waive |
| 01:32:20 |
...he has a duty to the millions |
| 01:32:24 |
...who are a minority in this realm. |
| 01:32:26 |
And experience suggests |
| 01:32:30 |
...and his administration |
| 01:32:34 |
...in order to secure the peace. |
| 01:32:37 |
All nations contain |
| 01:32:40 |
Like other countries, |
| 01:32:43 |
But they will be ours... |
| 01:32:45 |
...not yours. |
| 01:32:48 |
How do you propose |
| 01:32:51 |
You don't think we're just |
| 01:32:54 |
Yes. |
| 01:32:56 |
In the end... |
| 01:32:57 |
...you will walk out... |
| 01:32:59 |
...because 1 00,000 Englishmen |
| 01:33:02 |
...350 million Indians |
| 01:33:05 |
...to cooperate. |
| 01:33:07 |
And that is what |
| 01:33:10 |
Peaceful, nonviolent |
| 01:33:15 |
...till you yourself |
| 01:33:18 |
...Your Excellency. |
| 01:33:22 |
I said to him, "You don't |
| 01:33:25 |
And he said, "Yes." |
| 01:33:27 |
What an extraordinary little man, |
| 01:33:30 |
"Nonviolence, noncooperation." |
| 01:33:32 |
For a moment, I was afraid they were |
| 01:33:36 |
Yes, but I think it would be wise |
| 01:33:40 |
The Antiterrorist Act |
| 01:33:43 |
...but on no account |
| 01:33:47 |
Whatever mischief he causes... |
| 01:33:49 |
...I have no intention |
| 01:33:56 |
But now something worse is happening. |
| 01:33:59 |
When Gandhiji and I were growing up... |
| 01:34:02 |
...women wove their own cloth. |
| 01:34:06 |
But now there are millions |
| 01:34:09 |
...because those who can, |
| 01:34:15 |
I say with Gandhiji: |
| 01:34:18 |
There is no beauty |
| 01:34:21 |
...if it makes hunger and unhappiness. |
| 01:34:55 |
My message to you... |
| 01:34:58 |
...is the message I have given |
| 01:35:02 |
To gain independence... |
| 01:35:04 |
...we must prove worthy of it. |
| 01:35:08 |
There must be |
| 01:35:18 |
Second: |
| 01:35:20 |
No Indian must be treated |
| 01:35:23 |
We must remove untouchability... |
| 01:35:26 |
...from our hearts and from our lives. |
| 01:35:34 |
Third: |
| 01:35:36 |
We must defy the British. |
| 01:35:55 |
Not with violence |
| 01:36:00 |
...but with a firmness that will |
| 01:36:04 |
English factories make the cloth... |
| 01:36:07 |
...that makes our poverty. |
| 01:36:10 |
All those who wish to |
| 01:36:13 |
...bring me the cloth from Manchester |
| 01:36:18 |
...and we will light a fire |
| 01:36:22 |
...and in London. |
| 01:36:24 |
And if... |
| 01:36:25 |
...like me... |
| 01:36:28 |
...you are left with only |
| 01:36:33 |
...wear it with dignity. |
| 01:37:17 |
Thank you very much. |
| 01:37:20 |
No, thank you, I can manage. |
| 01:37:23 |
Don't destroy my good intentions. |
| 01:37:25 |
I'm already feeling guilty |
| 01:37:27 |
You've earned a few indulgences. |
| 01:37:29 |
Perhaps, but Maulana's made |
| 01:37:32 |
Our trains met in Bombay. |
| 01:37:34 |
And there he is, back in |
| 01:37:37 |
There's another passenger. |
| 01:37:39 |
A Miss Slade from London. She's |
| 01:37:43 |
She's the daughter |
| 01:37:47 |
What do you think the daughter |
| 01:37:49 |
...proposes to do in our ashram? |
| 01:37:51 |
- Sink us? |
| 01:37:54 |
She wants to make her home with us. |
| 01:37:58 |
Miss Slade! |
| 01:38:00 |
You'd be Mr. Kallenbach. |
| 01:38:02 |
And you would be Miss Slade? |
| 01:38:05 |
I prefer the name |
| 01:38:08 |
Mirabehn. |
| 01:38:15 |
Don't pull it so fast. |
| 01:38:25 |
Leave it. Leave it. |
| 01:38:28 |
God gave you 1 0 thumbs. |
| 01:38:30 |
Eleven. |
| 01:38:36 |
Sardar! |
| 01:38:43 |
Mirabehn! |
| 01:38:51 |
Come, come. |
| 01:38:54 |
You will be my daughter. |
| 01:38:58 |
But then... |
| 01:39:00 |
...some rioting broke out... |
| 01:39:02 |
...between Hindus and Muslims. |
| 01:39:06 |
Violent, terrible. |
| 01:39:10 |
Whether it was provoked... |
| 01:39:12 |
...I don't know. |
| 01:39:15 |
But it gave them an excuse to impose |
| 01:39:20 |
Some of the things |
| 01:39:23 |
Is the campaign weakening? |
| 01:39:25 |
The marches and protests are bigger, |
| 01:39:28 |
But with the censorship here... |
| 01:39:31 |
...they know more in England... |
| 01:39:33 |
...than we do. |
| 01:39:35 |
It saps the courage to think you |
| 01:39:39 |
They are not alone. |
| 01:39:41 |
And martial law only shows |
| 01:39:49 |
Is that homespun? |
| 01:39:52 |
I sent for it from here. |
| 01:39:55 |
I dyed it myself. |
| 01:40:00 |
What do the workers in England |
| 01:40:02 |
It must have produced hardship. |
| 01:40:04 |
It has... |
| 01:40:06 |
...but you'd be surprised. |
| 01:40:09 |
Good. |
| 01:40:13 |
Ba will have to teach you |
| 01:40:15 |
- I'd rather march. |
| 01:40:19 |
Let the others march for a time. |
| 01:40:22 |
I'll teach you all our foolishness. |
| 01:40:25 |
And you must teach me yours. |
| 01:40:34 |
We burn British cloth! |
| 01:40:45 |
Long live Gandhiji! |
| 01:41:02 |
British rule must go! |
| 01:41:12 |
I'll stuff it down your damn throat! |
| 01:41:16 |
Help us! |
| 01:41:17 |
Leave us alone! |
| 01:41:20 |
Go on your way. On your way! |
| 01:41:23 |
Come back! |
| 01:41:26 |
Help us! Help us! |
| 01:41:31 |
Help! Help! |
| 01:43:00 |
That's one bit of news |
| 01:43:06 |
Now it's all over the world. |
| 01:43:08 |
India's "nonviolence." |
| 01:43:13 |
What can we do? |
| 01:43:15 |
We must end the campaign. |
| 01:43:20 |
After what they did at the massacre? |
| 01:43:24 |
An eye for an eye only ends up |
| 01:43:28 |
Do you know the sacrifices |
| 01:43:31 |
We'd never get the same |
| 01:43:33 |
The whole of India is on the move! |
| 01:43:37 |
Yes, but in what direction? |
| 01:43:39 |
If we obtain our freedom by murder and |
| 01:43:46 |
You are the father of the nation. |
| 01:43:49 |
Today, I see no ground in that |
| 01:43:55 |
This was one incident. |
| 01:43:58 |
Tell that to the families of |
| 01:44:06 |
The whole nation is marching. |
| 01:44:10 |
They wouldn't stop, |
| 01:44:15 |
I will ask. |
| 01:44:17 |
And I will fast as a penance |
| 01:44:22 |
And I will not stop until they stop. |
| 01:44:26 |
But... |
| 01:44:28 |
God! You can be sure |
| 01:44:31 |
They'll put it on every street corner. |
| 01:44:35 |
People are aroused. |
| 01:44:38 |
They won't stop! |
| 01:44:41 |
If I die, perhaps they will stop. |
| 01:45:22 |
I must get ready for morning prayers. |
| 01:45:25 |
Mirabehn is here. |
| 01:46:11 |
I've brought your drinking water. |
| 01:46:26 |
There's a little lemon juice in it. |
| 01:46:41 |
Herman has gone to meet Pandit Nehru. |
| 01:46:45 |
There was a telegram. |
| 01:46:47 |
Almost everywhere, it has stopped. |
| 01:46:50 |
When it is everywhere... |
| 01:46:53 |
...then my prayers will be answered. |
| 01:46:59 |
Do you find me stubborn? |
| 01:47:02 |
I don't know. |
| 01:47:04 |
I know that you are right. |
| 01:47:07 |
I don't know that this is right. |
| 01:47:12 |
May I turn you? |
| 01:47:27 |
When I despair... |
| 01:47:29 |
...I remember that |
| 01:47:33 |
...the way of truth and love |
| 01:47:39 |
There have been tyrants |
| 01:47:42 |
...and, for a time, |
| 01:47:46 |
But in the end, they always fall. |
| 01:47:51 |
Think of it. |
| 01:47:54 |
Always. |
| 01:47:57 |
Whenever you are in doubt that |
| 01:48:01 |
...the way the world is meant to be... |
| 01:48:04 |
...think of that... |
| 01:48:07 |
...and then try to do it His way. |
| 01:48:13 |
And now, could I have |
| 01:48:21 |
Panditji! |
| 01:48:35 |
Jinnah... |
| 01:48:37 |
...Patel... |
| 01:48:38 |
...all of congress has called |
| 01:48:42 |
There's not been one demonstration. |
| 01:48:47 |
All over India, people are praying |
| 01:48:52 |
They're walking in the streets... |
| 01:48:54 |
...offering garlands to the police... |
| 01:48:58 |
...and British soldiers. |
| 01:49:02 |
Perhaps I have overdone it. |
| 01:49:25 |
- Good morning, Bapu. |
| 01:49:28 |
Don't let him go. |
| 01:49:31 |
Don't worry, I won't let him go. |
| 01:50:01 |
I'm sorry, Mr. Gandhi, sir... |
| 01:50:02 |
...but you're under arrest. |
| 01:50:04 |
On what charge? |
| 01:50:06 |
Sedition. |
| 01:50:08 |
You can't be serious. |
| 01:50:10 |
This man has just stopped |
| 01:50:12 |
That's as may be. |
| 01:50:13 |
I only know what |
| 01:50:15 |
I don't believe it! |
| 01:50:17 |
Even the British can't be that stupid. |
| 01:50:20 |
Help me, please. |
| 01:50:22 |
Mira, you must look after Ba. |
| 01:50:29 |
If there is one protest, one riot, |
| 01:50:33 |
...I will fast again. |
| 01:50:35 |
Herman. |
| 01:50:37 |
I have been on many trips. |
| 01:50:39 |
Monda. |
| 01:50:41 |
This is just another trip. |
| 01:50:44 |
I am at your command. |
| 01:50:51 |
I know we are not ready |
| 01:50:54 |
If I'm sent to jail, |
| 01:50:57 |
...our country can make at this time. |
| 01:51:01 |
And if it helps India, I've never |
| 01:51:13 |
Call the prisoner to the bar. |
| 01:51:59 |
"Noncooperation has one aim: |
| 01:52:02 |
The overthrow of the government. |
| 01:52:05 |
Sedition must become our creed. |
| 01:52:08 |
We must give no quarter... |
| 01:52:10 |
...nor can we expect any." |
| 01:52:13 |
- Do you deny writing it? |
| 01:52:16 |
And I will save the court's time... |
| 01:52:18 |
...my lord, by stating |
| 01:52:20 |
...I believe noncooperation |
| 01:52:23 |
...and that British rule |
| 01:52:26 |
The prosecution rests, my lord. |
| 01:52:32 |
I presume you are conducting |
| 01:52:36 |
I have no defence, my lord. |
| 01:52:39 |
And if you truly believe |
| 01:52:42 |
...you must inflict on me |
| 01:52:57 |
It is impossible for me to ignore |
| 01:53:01 |
...from any person |
| 01:53:05 |
...or am likely to try. |
| 01:53:07 |
Nevertheless, it is my duty |
| 01:53:10 |
...to six years' imprisonment. |
| 01:53:23 |
lf, however, His Majesty's government |
| 01:53:28 |
...see fit to reduce the term... |
| 01:53:33 |
...no one will be |
| 01:54:02 |
Yes, I'm sure that's exactly |
| 01:54:05 |
Put him in prison a few years. |
| 01:54:08 |
Maybe they could even subdue him. |
| 01:54:11 |
Well, he certainly wasn't forgotten. |
| 01:54:13 |
And as soon as he got out, |
| 01:54:16 |
...preaching nonviolence and |
| 01:54:21 |
Everyone knows |
| 01:54:25 |
How does an American journalist |
| 01:54:28 |
...learn that Gandhi was born |
| 01:54:31 |
I've been aware of him |
| 01:54:33 |
He certainly makes good copy. |
| 01:54:35 |
The other day, Winston Churchill |
| 01:54:41 |
I met him once. |
| 01:54:43 |
- What, you mean Gandhi? |
| 01:54:44 |
South Africa, a long time ago. |
| 01:54:47 |
I wonder if he'll recognize me. |
| 01:54:49 |
What was he like? |
| 01:54:50 |
He had a full head of hair then. |
| 01:54:53 |
We were a bit like college students, |
| 01:54:56 |
Well, he must have found |
| 01:55:05 |
In every worthy wish of yours, |
| 01:55:09 |
Helpmate. |
| 01:55:12 |
Take the fourth step, |
| 01:55:18 |
I will ever live devoted to you... |
| 01:55:20 |
...speaking words of love |
| 01:55:26 |
Take the fifth step... |
| 01:55:28 |
...the walking around a fire... |
| 01:55:33 |
...that we may serve the people. |
| 01:55:36 |
I will follow close behind you... |
| 01:55:39 |
...and help to serve the people. |
| 01:55:43 |
Take the sixth step... |
| 01:55:46 |
...that we may follow |
| 01:55:49 |
I will follow you |
| 01:55:55 |
Take the seventh step... |
| 01:55:59 |
...that we may ever |
| 01:56:04 |
You are my best friend... |
| 01:56:08 |
...my highest guru... |
| 01:56:11 |
...and my sovereign lord. |
| 01:56:17 |
And then I put a sweetened |
| 01:56:20 |
And I put a sweetened |
| 01:56:23 |
And with that, we were pronounced... |
| 01:56:26 |
...man and wife. |
| 01:56:29 |
We were both 1 3. |
| 01:56:44 |
It's beautiful. |
| 01:56:47 |
Even as a boy... |
| 01:56:49 |
...I thought so. |
| 01:56:52 |
Thank you. |
| 01:56:55 |
Trying to keep up with you |
| 01:57:00 |
You've come because you think |
| 01:57:04 |
Is it? |
| 01:57:06 |
Perhaps. |
| 01:57:08 |
I've come here to think about it. |
| 01:57:14 |
Do you remember much |
| 01:57:16 |
Oh, yes. A great deal. |
| 01:57:21 |
I've travelled so far... |
| 01:57:23 |
...and thought so much. |
| 01:57:29 |
As you can see, |
| 01:57:34 |
Always full of Hindus... |
| 01:57:37 |
...Muslims... |
| 01:57:39 |
...Sikhs, Jews, Persians. |
| 01:57:43 |
My family's sect was the Pranami. |
| 01:57:46 |
Hindu, of course. |
| 01:57:48 |
But in our temple, |
| 01:57:51 |
...from the Muslim Koran... |
| 01:57:54 |
...and the Hindu Gita, |
| 01:57:56 |
...as if it mattered not |
| 01:57:59 |
...as long as God was worshipped. |
| 01:58:04 |
When I was a boy... |
| 01:58:06 |
...I used to sing a song |
| 01:58:12 |
A true disciple |
| 01:58:16 |
As his own |
| 01:58:19 |
He bows to all... |
| 01:58:20 |
...and despises none. |
| 01:58:23 |
Like all other boys... |
| 01:58:25 |
...I sang the words... |
| 01:58:27 |
...not thinking what they meant |
| 01:58:34 |
I've travelled so far. |
| 01:58:37 |
And all I've done is come back... |
| 01:58:40 |
...home. |
| 01:58:51 |
Wait a minute. |
| 01:58:54 |
You know what you're going to do, |
| 01:58:55 |
It would have been uncivil of me... |
| 01:58:57 |
...to let you make |
| 01:59:02 |
- Where are you going? |
| 01:59:05 |
- Where are we going? |
| 01:59:08 |
Then to prove to the new viceroy... |
| 01:59:10 |
...that the king's writ |
| 01:59:13 |
Salt? |
| 01:59:14 |
Yes, sir. He's going to march |
| 01:59:20 |
There's a royal monopoly |
| 01:59:23 |
It's illegal to make it or sell it |
| 01:59:28 |
All right, he's breaking the law. |
| 01:59:31 |
What will that deprive us of? |
| 01:59:34 |
It's not a serious attack |
| 01:59:36 |
Its primary importance is symbolic. |
| 01:59:39 |
Don't patronize me, Charles. |
| 01:59:45 |
In this climate, nothing lives |
| 01:59:48 |
Our absolute control of it is |
| 01:59:53 |
And that's the basis of |
| 01:59:57 |
The day he sets off... |
| 01:59:58 |
...everyone is supposed to |
| 02:00:03 |
And then he walks some 240 miles |
| 02:00:11 |
I say ignore it. |
| 02:00:14 |
Let them raise their damned flags. |
| 02:00:16 |
Let him make his salt. |
| 02:00:18 |
It's only symbolic |
| 02:00:23 |
He'll arrive at the sea... |
| 02:00:25 |
...on the anniversary |
| 02:00:37 |
General Edgar is right. |
| 02:00:40 |
Mr. Gandhi will find |
| 02:00:43 |
...than a pinch of salt |
| 02:01:38 |
You've done me a great service. |
| 02:01:41 |
Not at all, sir. |
| 02:01:43 |
It would be uncivil of us to let you |
| 02:02:01 |
We'll go. |
| 02:02:02 |
Long live Gandhiji! |
| 02:02:28 |
Is it over if they arrest you now? |
| 02:02:30 |
Not if they arrest me... |
| 02:02:31 |
...or 1 000 or 1 0,000. |
| 02:02:33 |
It's not only generals |
| 02:02:38 |
What if they don't arrest you? |
| 02:02:41 |
Something for your notebook: |
| 02:02:42 |
The function of a civil resister |
| 02:02:46 |
And we will continue to provoke... |
| 02:02:48 |
...until they respond |
| 02:02:51 |
They are not in control. |
| 02:02:55 |
That is the strength |
| 02:03:02 |
Vince! |
| 02:03:04 |
- What did he say? |
| 02:03:29 |
Do you intend to walk all the way? |
| 02:03:31 |
It's the only way |
| 02:03:33 |
Besides, my name is Walker. |
| 02:03:36 |
"My name is Walker." |
| 02:04:31 |
My dear Mrs. Nehru! |
| 02:05:25 |
Man needs salt... |
| 02:05:28 |
...as he needs air and water. |
| 02:05:31 |
This salt comes |
| 02:05:35 |
Let every Indian claim it |
| 02:05:40 |
And so, once more, |
| 02:05:43 |
... has challenged the might |
| 02:06:01 |
They're making it everywhere, sir. |
| 02:06:04 |
Publicly. |
| 02:06:05 |
Congress leaders are selling it |
| 02:06:09 |
We're being made fools of, sir... |
| 02:06:10 |
...around the world. |
| 02:06:12 |
Isn't there any instruction |
| 02:06:14 |
We're required to stop it. |
| 02:06:18 |
I don't care if we fill the jails. |
| 02:06:21 |
Arrest anyone, any rank, |
| 02:06:25 |
We'll cut the strength |
| 02:06:28 |
And then we'll deal with the Mahatma. |
| 02:06:48 |
Jump to it! |
| 02:07:25 |
Don't hit back! |
| 02:07:26 |
No violence! |
| 02:07:37 |
There must be 1 00,000 under arrest. |
| 02:07:41 |
- Who's leading them? |
| 02:07:44 |
...most congress officials are in jail. |
| 02:07:49 |
We've even arrested Nehru's mother. |
| 02:07:54 |
Has there been any violence? |
| 02:07:56 |
In Peshawar, |
| 02:07:59 |
...lost his head and opened fire |
| 02:08:03 |
But he's facing disciplinary court. |
| 02:08:06 |
You can't expect things |
| 02:08:08 |
The question was intended to discover |
| 02:08:15 |
No, sir. |
| 02:08:17 |
I'm afraid not. |
| 02:08:19 |
Perhaps if we arrested Gandhi, |
| 02:08:26 |
He's addressed this letter |
| 02:08:29 |
Yes, sir, he has. |
| 02:08:30 |
The usual thing: |
| 02:08:31 |
"India's salt belongs to India." |
| 02:08:34 |
Then he says flatly... |
| 02:08:35 |
...that he will lead a raid tomorrow |
| 02:08:40 |
Thank him for his letter... |
| 02:08:42 |
...and put him in jail. |
| 02:08:46 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:08:49 |
It'll be my pleasure. |
| 02:08:51 |
- And Fields? |
| 02:08:53 |
Keep that salt works open. |
| 02:08:56 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:09:03 |
I'm sorry, sir. |
| 02:09:04 |
My orders are to allow regular staff |
| 02:09:08 |
Very well. |
| 02:09:11 |
...in his name. |
| 02:09:13 |
And for his sake, |
| 02:09:17 |
Long live Mahatma Gandhi! |
| 02:09:23 |
Long live Gandhiji! |
| 02:09:28 |
We are ready! |
| 02:09:37 |
I want firmness and discipline. |
| 02:09:58 |
- All right, take up your positions. |
| 02:10:08 |
To your mark. Forward! |
| 02:10:20 |
Last night at midnight... |
| 02:10:23 |
...they took Gandhiji from us. |
| 02:10:26 |
They expect us to lose heart... |
| 02:10:28 |
...or to fight back. |
| 02:10:31 |
We will do neither! |
| 02:11:03 |
On your guard! |
| 02:11:20 |
No, sir. |
| 02:12:38 |
"They walked... |
| 02:12:40 |
... both Hindu and Muslim alike... |
| 02:12:42 |
... with heads held high... |
| 02:12:45 |
... without any hope of escape... |
| 02:12:47 |
... from injury or death. |
| 02:12:49 |
It went on and on into the night." |
| 02:12:52 |
Stop. |
| 02:12:54 |
"Women carried the wounded |
| 02:12:58 |
...until they dropped |
| 02:13:00 |
Stop. |
| 02:13:02 |
"But still, it went on and on. |
| 02:13:07 |
Whatever moral ascendancy |
| 02:13:11 |
...was lost here today. |
| 02:13:14 |
India is free... |
| 02:13:16 |
... for she has taken all |
| 02:13:21 |
... and she has neither |
| 02:14:32 |
I am aware that I must have given |
| 02:14:37 |
...Your Excellency. |
| 02:14:39 |
I hope it will not stand |
| 02:14:46 |
Mr. Gandhi... |
| 02:14:48 |
...I am instructed to request |
| 02:14:51 |
...at an all-government |
| 02:14:54 |
...to discuss the possible |
| 02:14:59 |
...of India. |
| 02:15:11 |
Only recently released from prison... |
| 02:15:13 |
... Mahatma Gandhi leaves Bombay |
| 02:15:17 |
... to attend the conference |
| 02:15:20 |
... called by Prime Minister |
| 02:15:25 |
Mr. Gandhi, the sole |
| 02:15:29 |
... is staying at Kingsley Hall |
| 02:15:31 |
... for the duration of the talks. |
| 02:15:33 |
He's seen here |
| 02:15:36 |
... who have taken him |
| 02:15:38 |
Besides attending the conference... |
| 02:15:39 |
... he has found time to meet |
| 02:15:43 |
... like Mr. Lloyd George... |
| 02:15:45 |
... the Archbishop of Canterbury, |
| 02:15:48 |
... and Charlie Chaplin. |
| 02:15:52 |
He journeyed last week |
| 02:15:55 |
... to accept an invitation to tea |
| 02:15:59 |
... at Buckingham Palace |
| 02:16:02 |
And I would emphasize |
| 02:16:06 |
...is to recognize |
| 02:16:11 |
...but several. |
| 02:16:13 |
A Hindu India... |
| 02:16:15 |
...a Muslim India... |
| 02:16:17 |
...and an India of princely states. |
| 02:16:20 |
And all these must be respected... |
| 02:16:23 |
...and cared for. |
| 02:16:25 |
Not just one. |
| 02:16:50 |
Mr. Gandhi, who has been attending... |
| 02:16:52 |
... the London Round Table Conference |
| 02:16:55 |
... journeyed north |
| 02:16:58 |
Although not dressed |
| 02:17:01 |
... Mr. Gandhi received |
| 02:17:05 |
... before heading back south... |
| 02:17:06 |
... for a final meeting |
| 02:17:09 |
The prime minister said the talks |
| 02:17:17 |
So farewell, Mr. Gandhi. |
| 02:17:20 |
And bon voyage! |
| 02:17:24 |
So the truth is, |
| 02:17:26 |
... after all your efforts... |
| 02:17:28 |
...they've stopped the campaign |
| 02:17:32 |
They're only clinging |
| 02:17:36 |
...and trying to split us |
| 02:17:39 |
But the will has gone. |
| 02:17:41 |
Independence will fall |
| 02:17:44 |
The only question is, when and how. |
| 02:17:47 |
Well, I say, when is now! |
| 02:17:51 |
And we will determine how. |
| 02:17:53 |
Precisely. |
| 02:17:55 |
Bapu, she is limping again. |
| 02:17:58 |
It's only a sprain. |
| 02:18:00 |
Take her to the river. |
| 02:18:04 |
Go. I won't be a moment. |
| 02:18:10 |
They are preparing for war. |
| 02:18:13 |
I will not support it. |
| 02:18:14 |
But I do not intend to take |
| 02:18:18 |
That's when you take advantage. |
| 02:18:21 |
That is just another way |
| 02:18:25 |
We've come a long way together |
| 02:18:27 |
When they leave, we want to |
| 02:18:30 |
Now, if you'll excuse me, |
| 02:18:41 |
Mud packs. |
| 02:18:54 |
Mr. Gandhi, sir. |
| 02:18:56 |
I've been instructed to inquire as to |
| 02:19:00 |
The value of goat's milk |
| 02:19:05 |
But you can be sure that |
| 02:19:09 |
Sorry, that can't be permitted. |
| 02:19:10 |
Corporal! |
| 02:19:16 |
It's all right, Mrs. Gandhi. |
| 02:19:18 |
I have orders to return with you |
| 02:19:22 |
If you take my husband, |
| 02:19:50 |
Hold it a second, will you? |
| 02:19:53 |
It was the Aga Khan's palace |
| 02:19:56 |
They're holding Gandhi |
| 02:20:00 |
Pandit Nehru and the others |
| 02:20:05 |
Not bad for a prison, eh? |
| 02:20:07 |
I guess no place is good |
| 02:20:09 |
Your timing's pretty lucky. |
| 02:20:11 |
They had him cut off from the press. |
| 02:20:14 |
But his personal secretary died, |
| 02:20:22 |
Yes, I have heard of Life magazine. |
| 02:20:25 |
I've even heard of |
| 02:20:29 |
But I don't know why either |
| 02:20:33 |
...sitting alone in prison... |
| 02:20:36 |
...while the rest of the world |
| 02:20:40 |
Well, you're the only man I know |
| 02:20:46 |
But for me, that's not |
| 02:20:55 |
No, prison is rather agreeable to me. |
| 02:20:59 |
And there is no doubt that |
| 02:21:03 |
...independence will come. |
| 02:21:05 |
My only worry... |
| 02:21:06 |
...is what shape it will take. |
| 02:21:09 |
- Jinnah has... |
| 02:21:11 |
I'm sorry, but... |
| 02:21:15 |
- Come, come. |
| 02:21:17 |
Thank you very much. |
| 02:21:21 |
Now, sorry. |
| 02:21:23 |
Go on. "What shape it will take..." |
| 02:21:25 |
Jinnah has what? |
| 02:21:28 |
Jinnah has cooperated with the British. |
| 02:21:32 |
It has given him power |
| 02:21:36 |
And he's filled |
| 02:21:39 |
...of what will happen to them... |
| 02:21:41 |
...in a country that |
| 02:21:45 |
And that I find hard to bear... |
| 02:21:48 |
...even in prison. |
| 02:21:49 |
Mr. Gandhi? |
| 02:21:57 |
It's hard for me to see this as a |
| 02:22:02 |
I have friends who keep telling me... |
| 02:22:05 |
...how much it costs them |
| 02:22:10 |
But I know happiness |
| 02:22:15 |
...even 20th century things. |
| 02:22:17 |
It can come from work |
| 02:22:22 |
India lives in her villages... |
| 02:22:25 |
...and the terrible poverty there |
| 02:22:28 |
...if their local skills |
| 02:22:32 |
Poverty is the worst form |
| 02:22:35 |
And a constructive program |
| 02:22:38 |
...nonviolent solution |
| 02:22:42 |
It will not necessarily be |
| 02:22:44 |
...if she simply imports |
| 02:22:51 |
Do you really believe you could |
| 02:22:56 |
Not without defeats and great pain. |
| 02:23:01 |
But are there no defeats in this war? |
| 02:23:04 |
No pain? |
| 02:23:07 |
What you cannot do... |
| 02:23:08 |
...is accept injustice |
| 02:23:11 |
You must make the injustice visible. |
| 02:23:14 |
Be prepared to die |
| 02:23:21 |
Is this what I'm meant to |
| 02:23:25 |
That's what you get |
| 02:23:27 |
What do you expect |
| 02:23:29 |
I expect you to show |
| 02:23:35 |
Turn slowly and pull it gently. |
| 02:23:43 |
And that includes the life of women. |
| 02:23:46 |
Bapu has always said... |
| 02:23:49 |
...there were two kinds |
| 02:23:52 |
One for women, |
| 02:23:57 |
And he has always fought against both. |
| 02:24:02 |
Does it rankle, |
| 02:24:09 |
In Hindu philosophy... |
| 02:24:12 |
...the way to God... |
| 02:24:14 |
...is to free yourself |
| 02:24:17 |
...and of passions. |
| 02:24:19 |
Bapu has always struggled |
| 02:24:27 |
Do you mean that |
| 02:24:34 |
Four times he tried... |
| 02:24:37 |
...and failed. |
| 02:24:40 |
But then he took a solemn vow. |
| 02:24:45 |
And he's never broken it? |
| 02:24:49 |
Not yet. |
| 02:25:08 |
- I've got permission to move her. |
| 02:25:11 |
She's had a massive thrombosis. |
| 02:25:14 |
She'll never survive the trip. |
| 02:25:16 |
It's better if we just |
| 02:26:04 |
It's time for my walk. |
| 02:26:09 |
I won't be long. |
| 02:28:23 |
Guard... |
| 02:28:24 |
...present arms! |
| 02:28:41 |
We have come to crown victory |
| 02:28:47 |
To assist at the birth of |
| 02:28:51 |
...and to welcome her |
| 02:28:52 |
...in the British Commonwealth |
| 02:28:56 |
I am here to see that I am |
| 02:28:59 |
...ever to have the honour |
| 02:29:14 |
I am not concerned about |
| 02:29:17 |
I'm concerned about |
| 02:29:20 |
Please, Mr. Jinnah. |
| 02:29:22 |
I won't watch the mastery |
| 02:29:25 |
...replaced by |
| 02:29:33 |
Muslim and Hindu are the right |
| 02:29:38 |
No one will be master, no one slave. |
| 02:29:40 |
The world is not made of |
| 02:29:43 |
I'm talking about the real world. |
| 02:29:45 |
- How the... |
| 02:29:46 |
...Muslims and Hindus |
| 02:29:52 |
How will you separate them? |
| 02:29:53 |
Where there is a Muslim majority... |
| 02:29:57 |
...that will be Pakistan. |
| 02:29:59 |
The rest is your India. |
| 02:30:01 |
My dear Jinnah... |
| 02:30:03 |
...the Muslims are in a majority |
| 02:30:07 |
Let us worry about Pakistan. |
| 02:30:11 |
Gentlemen... |
| 02:30:12 |
...I think perhaps |
| 02:30:28 |
Death to Jinnah! |
| 02:30:58 |
Thank God, they've stopped. |
| 02:31:03 |
Manu. Abha. |
| 02:31:12 |
I'm your granduncle... |
| 02:31:14 |
...but I can still walk |
| 02:31:17 |
I don't need to be pampered |
| 02:31:20 |
Finish your quota of spinning. |
| 02:32:05 |
Bapu, please don't do it. |
| 02:32:07 |
What do you want me not to do? |
| 02:32:10 |
Not to meet with Mr. Jinnah? |
| 02:32:13 |
I am a Muslim... |
| 02:32:16 |
...and a Hindu... |
| 02:32:17 |
...and a Christian and a Jew. |
| 02:32:20 |
And so are all of you. |
| 02:32:24 |
When you wave those flags and shout... |
| 02:32:27 |
...you send fear into the hearts |
| 02:32:31 |
That is not the India I want. |
| 02:32:33 |
Stop it! |
| 02:32:34 |
For God's sake, stop it. |
| 02:32:54 |
If you've finished your prayers... |
| 02:32:56 |
...perhaps we could begin |
| 02:33:02 |
My dear Jinnah... |
| 02:33:05 |
...you and I are brothers... |
| 02:33:08 |
...born of the same mother India. |
| 02:33:13 |
...I want to put them at rest. |
| 02:33:16 |
Begging the understanding |
| 02:33:19 |
...I am asking Panditji |
| 02:33:23 |
I want you to be |
| 02:33:27 |
...to name your entire cabinet... |
| 02:33:30 |
...to make the head of every |
| 02:33:52 |
For me and the rest... |
| 02:33:54 |
...if that is what you want... |
| 02:33:56 |
...we will accept it. |
| 02:34:00 |
But out there... |
| 02:34:02 |
...already there is rioting... |
| 02:34:04 |
...because Hindus fear you are |
| 02:34:09 |
If you did this... |
| 02:34:12 |
...no one would control it. |
| 02:34:14 |
No one. |
| 02:34:31 |
It is your choice. |
| 02:34:34 |
Do you want an independent India |
| 02:34:38 |
...or do you want civil war? |
| 02:35:16 |
Jinnah! Jinnah! Jinnah! |
| 02:37:46 |
What you did in Noakhali, Bapu, |
| 02:37:50 |
Miracle. |
| 02:37:52 |
But millions are on the move... |
| 02:37:54 |
...and no one can count the dead. |
| 02:37:58 |
In Calcutta, it's like civil war. |
| 02:38:04 |
The Muslims rose |
| 02:38:08 |
Now the Hindus are taking revenge. |
| 02:38:12 |
If we can't stop it... |
| 02:38:13 |
...there'll be no hope |
| 02:38:18 |
An eye for an eye, |
| 02:38:23 |
Aren't there any troops to spare? |
| 02:38:26 |
Nothing. |
| 02:38:30 |
Nothing. |
| 02:38:36 |
The divisions in Bombay and Delhi |
| 02:38:39 |
And each fresh bit of news creates |
| 02:38:43 |
We could cut all news off. |
| 02:38:46 |
Bapu, please, where are you going? |
| 02:38:48 |
I don't want to hear more. |
| 02:38:51 |
We need your help. |
| 02:38:53 |
There is nothing I can give. |
| 02:38:59 |
Where are you going? |
| 02:39:03 |
Calcutta. |
| 02:39:46 |
If I had shunned death or feared it, |
| 02:39:50 |
...nor would you be concerned for me. |
| 02:39:52 |
But, sir, please. |
| 02:39:54 |
I don't have the men to protect you... |
| 02:39:57 |
...not in a Muslim house, |
| 02:40:00 |
I'm staying with the friend |
| 02:40:03 |
Death to Muslims! |
| 02:40:08 |
Why are you staying |
| 02:40:10 |
They are murderers! |
| 02:40:12 |
They killed my family! |
| 02:40:13 |
Get out of Calcutta, Gandhi! |
| 02:40:15 |
Death to Muslims! |
| 02:41:05 |
Prime Minister. |
| 02:41:11 |
Why must I read news |
| 02:41:18 |
Inform Sardar Patel. |
| 02:41:21 |
We will go Friday. |
| 02:41:23 |
Four days, sir? |
| 02:41:57 |
Sardar, you have gained weight. |
| 02:41:59 |
You must join me in the fast. |
| 02:42:02 |
If I fast, I die. |
| 02:42:05 |
If you fast, people go to |
| 02:42:09 |
...to keep you alive. |
| 02:42:11 |
Bapu, forgive me, I've cheated. |
| 02:42:13 |
I could have come earlier... |
| 02:42:16 |
...but your fast has helped. |
| 02:42:19 |
These last days, people's minds |
| 02:42:22 |
...and away from the atrocities. |
| 02:42:24 |
But now... |
| 02:42:26 |
...it is enough. |
| 02:42:30 |
All that has happened is that |
| 02:42:38 |
Tomorrow, 5000 Muslim students... |
| 02:42:41 |
...of all ages... |
| 02:42:43 |
...are marching here, |
| 02:42:47 |
And 5000 Hindu students |
| 02:42:51 |
I'm glad. |
| 02:42:54 |
But it will not be enough. |
| 02:43:12 |
You are not so young anymore. |
| 02:43:15 |
Don't worry for me. |
| 02:43:18 |
I cannot watch the destruction |
| 02:44:29 |
Death to Gandhi! |
| 02:44:31 |
Who dares say such things?! |
| 02:44:33 |
Who?! |
| 02:44:36 |
You kill me first! |
| 02:44:40 |
Come! |
| 02:44:43 |
Where are you?! |
| 02:44:46 |
Kill me first! |
| 02:44:50 |
Where are you? |
| 02:45:01 |
His pulse is very irregular. |
| 02:45:20 |
I have brought Mr. Suhrawardy. |
| 02:45:23 |
It was he who called |
| 02:45:27 |
He is now telling them... |
| 02:45:29 |
...to go back to their homes... |
| 02:45:31 |
...to lay down their arms. |
| 02:45:45 |
Think what you can do by living... |
| 02:45:48 |
...that you cannot do by dying. |
| 02:46:00 |
What do you want? |
| 02:46:05 |
That the fighting will stop. |
| 02:46:08 |
That you make me believe... |
| 02:46:13 |
...that it will never start again. |
| 02:46:25 |
Sometimes... |
| 02:46:26 |
...it is when you are |
| 02:46:31 |
...and in utter darkness... |
| 02:46:34 |
...that God comes to the rescue. |
| 02:46:39 |
Gandhiji... |
| 02:46:41 |
...is dying... |
| 02:46:44 |
...because of our madness. |
| 02:46:49 |
Put away your revenge. |
| 02:46:52 |
What good will come of more killing? |
| 02:46:56 |
Have the courage to do... |
| 02:46:59 |
...what you know is right. |
| 02:47:02 |
For God's sake... |
| 02:47:05 |
...let us embrace like brothers. |
| 02:47:22 |
It's our promise. |
| 02:47:24 |
We stop. |
| 02:47:28 |
Hindu swords. |
| 02:47:31 |
It's a promise. |
| 02:47:36 |
Go. |
| 02:47:39 |
God be with you. |
| 02:47:53 |
Here, eat! |
| 02:47:56 |
Eat! |
| 02:47:58 |
I'm going to hell... |
| 02:48:00 |
...but not with your death on my soul. |
| 02:48:03 |
Only God decides who goes to hell. |
| 02:48:07 |
I killed a child. |
| 02:48:10 |
I smashed his head against a wall. |
| 02:48:14 |
Why? |
| 02:48:18 |
They killed my son. |
| 02:48:22 |
My boy. |
| 02:48:26 |
The Muslims killed my son! |
| 02:48:33 |
I know a way out of hell. |
| 02:48:38 |
Find a child. |
| 02:48:40 |
A child whose mother and father |
| 02:48:45 |
A little boy about this high... |
| 02:48:51 |
...and raise him as your own. |
| 02:48:57 |
Only be sure that he is a Muslim... |
| 02:49:02 |
...and that you raise him as one. |
| 02:49:32 |
Go. |
| 02:49:34 |
Go. |
| 02:49:37 |
God bless you. |
| 02:50:04 |
Bapu? |
| 02:50:11 |
There's been no fighting... |
| 02:50:14 |
...anywhere. |
| 02:50:16 |
It's stopped. |
| 02:50:19 |
The madness has stopped. |
| 02:50:25 |
It's foolish... |
| 02:50:27 |
...if it's just to save |
| 02:50:30 |
No. In every temple and mosque... |
| 02:50:36 |
...they have pledged to die... |
| 02:50:38 |
...before they lift a hand |
| 02:50:43 |
It is true, Bapu. |
| 02:50:53 |
Everywhere. |
| 02:51:28 |
Maulana, my friend... |
| 02:51:32 |
...could I have some orange juice? |
| 02:51:41 |
Then you and I... |
| 02:51:43 |
...will take a piece |
| 02:52:14 |
He will be saying prayers |
| 02:52:25 |
That is how you eat muli. |
| 02:52:27 |
I'm not sure that I want |
| 02:52:30 |
Don't worry. |
| 02:52:32 |
No, he will be remembered |
| 02:52:37 |
Mickey Mouse! |
| 02:52:40 |
You're really going to Pakistan? |
| 02:52:46 |
You are a stubborn man. |
| 02:52:50 |
I'm simply going to prove... |
| 02:52:52 |
...to Hindus here and Muslims there... |
| 02:52:55 |
...that the only devils |
| 02:52:58 |
...running around in our own hearts. |
| 02:53:01 |
And that is where all our battles |
| 02:53:12 |
So, what kind of warrior have you |
| 02:53:18 |
Not a very good one. |
| 02:53:20 |
That's why I have |
| 02:53:23 |
...for the other scoundrels |
| 02:53:30 |
Sardar? |
| 02:53:32 |
Ask Panditji to consider |
| 02:53:41 |
- Enough! |
| 02:53:44 |
- You're a temptress! |
| 02:53:47 |
Nothing's more dangerous... |
| 02:53:49 |
...especially for an old man. |
| 02:54:00 |
There's a sadness about him. |
| 02:54:04 |
He thinks he's failed. |
| 02:54:05 |
Why? |
| 02:54:07 |
If anything's proven him right, |
| 02:54:12 |
I may be blinded by my love for him... |
| 02:54:15 |
...but I believe... |
| 02:54:17 |
...when we most needed it... |
| 02:54:19 |
...he offered the world |
| 02:54:24 |
But he doesn't see it. |
| 02:54:27 |
Neither does the world. |
| 02:55:01 |
Brother, Bapu is already |
| 02:55:05 |
Oh, God! |
| 02:55:08 |
Oh, God. |
| 02:55:47 |
When I despair... |
| 02:55:49 |
... I remember... |
| 02:55:51 |
... that all through history... |
| 02:55:54 |
... the way of truth and love |
| 02:56:00 |
There have been tyrants |
| 02:56:03 |
... and for a time, |
| 02:56:06 |
... but in the end, they always fall. |
| 02:56:11 |
Think of it. |
| 02:56:15 |
Always. |
