:27:00
So then should we keep getting
beaten up by them... shot at?
:27:09
They target our whole community
due to the misdeeds of a few fools...
:27:14
our homes are torched...
:27:17
hundreds are burnt alive, thousands
are ruined, rendered homeless...
:27:22
and still we don't act, father?
:27:25
We remain passive?
:27:28
This rage of yours, Farhaan...
:27:30
this deep hatred
growing inside you...
:27:33
I see myself in it
:27:36
This fury had risen in me too
:27:38
Such bitterness had spread
in my veins too once
:27:41
We were in Ahmedabad then
:27:43
In 1969, there was a massive
Hindu-Muslim riot in Ahmedabad
:27:49
Both sides lost countless lives.
We were brutally crushed
:27:54
A vast anger filled my being
:27:58
I too picked up a knife
and set out with the others
:28:11
I don't remember
how many lives we took
:28:14
All I remember are those eyes...
:28:17
The terrified eyes of a Hindu...
:28:20
that look before the knife
sliced his body
:28:28
I'll never forget
:28:32
These hands have
taken a life, Farhaan!
:28:40
The riots kept spreading
:28:42
Many people from our area
took refuge in a cellar...
:28:45
with their families
:28:48
All night we heard sounds
of slaughter outside... then suddenly
:28:57
All of us thought
we would be butchered
