The story is based on a brutal story that happened in ancient India. Where the upper class people used to brutally torture the lower caste people and also used to capture and rape the lower caste women. When the people of this village gathered against the landlord, a heartbreaking incident happened. The entire village disappeared overnight. Who is behind this incident? Let's start with another true story from ancient India. If you try to tell a story, it will make you cringe, and you will keep watching it again and again and ask yourself - Is this a true incident? In that ancient period of history, some people came to India from West Asia. They were very poor and simple people. And to remove them from there, some rich people fought with them, captured them, enslaved them, and subjected them to unusual tortures. In the Manusmriti, four communities are mentioned: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and the lower community or Shudras. So that the Shudras could not live with their heads held high in the future, various types of taxes and strict rules were imposed on them. At the beginning of the story, we see a man whose body was covered with a piece of cloth, and they always had a palm leaf tied behind their back and a bell on their feet. This is because when they walk, they will leave footprints, and they will have to wipe them off with the palm leaf. If the footprints of a person from a higher caste fall on their footprints, they will become impure, and they will be identified by the bell tied to their feet. In other words, they had no respect in society, and they always had to walk low. The people of the upper class were God to them; they did whatever they were told, and they had no personality of their own. Then they came to a temple where a Brahmin was worshipping. They were worshipping from a distance. Suddenly, a mango fell there. A little girl came to the temple to pick it. The Brahmin saw it and became very angry and started scolding the girl. He said to the girl, "How dare you come near this temple? Don't you know that you are a low-caste person and you have no right to enter the temple?" They said, "Please forgive me, Lord, even a small person has made a mistake." The Brahmin said, "Go away from here. You have defiled me in the morning." Then the village landlord was shown. Everyone called him Thakur. Seeing the landlord, the low-caste people were standing in front of him, and Thakur saw a girl there. Then he said something to his man and left from there. Then that man called the one who was standing next to the girl, whose name was Charan. The man asked Charan who the girl was. Then Charan said, "My wife." Then that man told him, "Okay, I will bring her tomorrow night." Zamidar Babu called her. Hearing this, everyone there got scared because everyone understood why he was called. Then they came to the house, and the girl's name was Sanjani. Sanjani was very worried in her heart. Meanwhile, Charan cut her hand while working. Sanjani saw it and ran to her and tied her hand. Meanwhile, Madhav said, a man was working with cow dung, which was used to make ghatu torches, etc., and next to him, a moneylender's accountant was keeping track of everyone's daily goods in the market and was shouting at everyone. Suddenly, a milk bone fell from one of them. He said, "Do you know how much it costs?" The moneylender came towards him and fell into the cow dung and became even angrier. While passing by that road, a man asked him for water. He also misbehaved with him and chased him away. Madhav stood there and watched all this. As soon as the man came towards them, Madhav went to give him water. The man threw the water from his hand and said, "I will not drink water from a low-caste person like you." Saying this, he left from there. Then Charan came there and asked him, "What was the need for you to go and give him water?" Madhav says, "I feel very bad when I see someone thirsty, then I remember my father. Once, Madhav and his father were walking along a path. Due to the scorching sun, his father was very thirsty. He could not move even one step forward. Then Madhav made his father sit under a tree and said, "Sit here, I will see if there is any water body nearby." Saying this, Madhav went out to look for water. Suddenly, he saw a pond. The landlord's sons were bathing there. When Madhav went to get water from that pond, they said, "Don't you know that you have no right to touch this water?"
Madhav says- I know, but I really need it. Let me get some water; my father is dying of thirst. Please have mercy on me, okay, I won't touch the water, I am keeping this pot here, don't fill it yourself, then they say, I want your water, right? Saying this, they started pouring water from the pond in his direction, and bricks and stones started falling, and he got injured there and fell there. Then, when they left from there, when he went to get some water, he saw that the pot was broken, but still he took some water from that broken part and came to his father. As soon as he poured water on his father's face, he fell, and then he realized that his father had died. He burst into tears and said that today my father died because of high caste people like you, how many sins are you taking on your shoulders? You are doing this because of a little water. I will never forgive you. Charan says - Madhav, don't be upset, our foreheads are like this. What else will you do? The next morning, Sanjani was filling water in the pond when suddenly the pitcher fell from her hand. Her sister told her not to worry, some arrangement will be made, when that landlord Babu comes to know that you are ill, then we will see if he will say anything else. Then another man who was there asked him why are you giving him false assurances? Don't you remember that time?
The girl was only saying not to go to Thakur, so Thakur took the girl naked around the village. Thakur is our God; we must listen to him. At night, Sanjani was cooking. Charan just watched her from behind. He could not understand what to say to console her; he could not do anything because they were helpless against that landlord. Then he goes to Sanjani with a piece of cloth and tells Sanjani that he brought it for you. Then Sanjani says, " What? What else can we do with it? Charan says, what else can we do? We are low-caste people; they don't even remember that we are people. Maybe we committed some sin in our previous birth, which is why we are suffering because of that sin. Doesn't God have eyes? Sanjani says, if I go today, I will die. Charan gets angry and starts blaming their God and says, you can't see anything. If necessary, take my life, but save my Sanjani. Sanjani says, even God can't do anything. Saying this, she takes a stick and goes to beat herself. Seeing that, Charan comes to her and says, what are you doing? If you die, I won't be able to live. By that time, the landlord's man comes outside and starts calling Charan. Charan comes out, leaving Sanjani inside the house. He says, don't let her go. The man says, "Are you crazy? If you disobey the landlord, you know what the consequences will be." Charan grabs the man's leg and says, "Leave him alone, he is very sick, he will die, please have some mercy, but he doesn't listen to anything." When one of them goes towards the house, Charan goes to the door and stops him. Then they all start beating him a lot. Everyone in the village watches it silently; no one can do anything. Sanjani starts crying from inside. She runs and hugs her husband, and those men start beating her and her husband. Then they drag Sanjani away from there. On the other hand, we see the landlord, who was waiting for Sanjani. Sanjani begged him to let her go, saying that she was sick. The landlord did not say anything. A maidservant came and took Sanjani away. Outside, she met the landlord's wife. She begged him a lot, but he did not say anything. She left quietly because she could not tell the landlord anything. After all, the landlord would kill her.
On the other side, we see Charan, who has become very ill due to excessive beating, so the people of the village were taking care of him, then his brother Bala comes there and is shocked to see Charan's condition. Sanjani's sister tells him that the landlord's people have done this to him and they have taken Didi away, then the people of the village say - Hey, we are born, so maybe Thakur will beat us to death or he will kill us with a disease and on the other side Sanjani is bathed in rose water and beautifully dressed and brought to the landlord. Then the landlord has sexual relations with her, where if the water is poured on the hands of low-caste people and their footprints are found, if they go to the temple, their caste is lost, they do not go to the low-caste girls to enjoy, and this is seen as high society. Charan's condition has become very bad. A Tantric was called to treat him because the doctor would come; how could they treat low-caste people if their caste also went? Then Sanjani came to the house and, seeing Charan's condition, she burst into tears. She came to Charan and said, "I have come," and he started crying. Charan's brother Bala was also sitting far away, crying. Then Sanjani suddenly stood up and ran to the landlord's house. The guards stopped her. Then Sanjani said, "Let me meet the landlord." Then they said, "Zamindar Babu will not meet you." They started laughing and joking about her. The landlord saw her from above and said, "Take him out." The guards dragged him out. Then Bala came and took him towards the village. Then, on the road, he saw a village doctor outside. Sanjani went to them and said - I fall at your feet, please save my husband. A doctor there was moved by her words and went towards the house. Then a man there said - you see that the low caste people have stopped tying brooms behind them, and the man with him said - yes, from now on we will have to tread carefully on the path and the ghat. Then the doctor came out of the house and threw medicine at him. Sanjani immediately took the medicine and came to Charan, but before Charan could be given the medicine, he died. Sanjani broke down in tears, and then Charan's last rites were performed. One night, some people from the village were sitting in one place when Madhav came and said that the son of the landlord was returning to the village. Bala got angry and said - I will kill him. Madhav says- Are you crazy? We all suffered due to Charan's death. Let these tears in your eyes flow with the fire of Charan's pyre because if you kill his son, none of us will be able to survive. Then another person with them says that they call us low caste, are we not human beings? Is blood flowing in their bodies? Is water flowing in our bodies? Madhav says- Calm down a little, the consequences of what you are thinking will be very bad, then they say- Your anger, the consequences that happen to us are nothing compared to this consequence. Is it our fault that we were born in a low caste? We are like servants to them. We do what they say, we do this to get two handfuls of food in our mouths; they do not even care about us after doing so much. Our wives, the poor Charan, died in front of us while they were struggling, and we couldn't do anything, so we fell at their feet and begged them to forgive us.
What are you talking about? The result is that today it will be in my house, tomorrow in your house, the day after tomorrow in someone else's house. In this way, every house will take its daughter and wife and leave. He would say one thing - where will it end? If we don't say anything, it will continue like this. A Brahmin was chanting that mantra with some boys, everyone was chanting there, next to him, Vairu's son was playing something, Vairu was working in the field, his wife brought food for him and called Kislu too, then Vairu gave his son a sweet in the field, the other boys came to him, Vairu gave them the sweets one by one, Kislu then went back to play and in the meantime those children kept chanting the puja in the temple and Kislu started chanting in his mind, after that they returned to the village and the Brahmin was also returning along the same path and everyone was walking bowing to him, suddenly the king noticed a child chanting that mantra. Seeing this, the king got angry and said, "You are the son of a common servant and have taken the name of Shiva?" Oh Lord, forgive us. Then some parents, along with the villagers, folded their hands and said, "That child is a human being, he doesn't understand. Forgive him." Maharaj said, "There is no forgiveness, because of him, a terrible epidemic is going to break out in the village, and he has defiled the name of Mahadev. There is nothing to be done; this village will be in trouble." Other villagers also said, "We cannot all die because of this one person."
Then the Panchayat came. The Panchayat chief said, "This ordinary low-caste boy has despised the name of Mahadev, uttered the name of Mahadev in a contemptible manner, which is a great sin, for which the entire village will have to suffer." Maharaj himself will tell us how we can get rid of this. Then the chief whispered something to the king. The chief said to the villagers, "Maharaj, I will perform a yagna to save the villagers from this sin." Just performing the yagna will not work; the tongue of the sinner who uttered the name of Mahadev will have to be cut off. Hearing this, Bhairu's family got upset. They made many requests and said, "We will leave this village. Maharaj, Maharaj, please let this little boy go." Then Kistu was dragged and tied to a tree. Some people started crying a lot. Then his crying became silent, which means that the child's tongue had been cut off. Then they took the child in their arms and started crying. The child was already dead. Then the villagers started saying that it has happened a lot, and if we don't protest, we will have to suffer this deprivation for the rest of our lives. They then returned home, and many nights they went out with some kind of sheet. Then they turned back and said to their family - I don't know if I will be able to return home again. It was morning, and the landlord's son had returned with some pawns. They were in the middle of the forest. The four of them attacked them. Actually, these four were hiding behind the trees and bushes. These four killed the servants and took the landlord's son. Then Bhairu cut out the boy's tongue. To cut out his son's tongue, everyone hacked him to death. Then, in the morning, the landlord's wife heard that someone had killed his son. Everyone was stunned. Then his wife told the landlord that this was the result of your sins. The boy's life was lost because of your cruelty.
I don't know, bring my son back somehow. Then the landlord told the servants that I want those who killed my son alive, and the landlord's people went out to search for them in the forest, but they didn't find anyone. However, they found a bell that was tied to the feet of the Shudras, meaning that one bell had fallen from the feet of those four people. The landlord was with his son, and the servant came and showed the bell to the landlord. After the landlord cremated his son, the landlord got angry and said, "Just as my son is being burned in the pyre, burn those low castes alive tonight." At night, the landlord's people came and set fire to the houses of the entire Shudra community and killed whoever they came across. Since these four people were alert from before, they went to help everyone, killed many of the landlord's men, but in the end, no one was saved. It was morning, but as far as the eye could see, all the dead bodies were visible. Fortunately, a child and a man were alive. They went crazy after seeing so many dead bodies in front of their eyes. There, they saw the dead body of one of the landlord's servants and said, "Master, I have tied a broom behind me, please forgive me." They tried to pull out all the dead bodies and said, "The landlord's men have come." They almost went crazy. This story is not only about a village, but about the whole country. At that time, it spread all over the world. But some great people stood by them, such as Abraham Lincoln, Washington, Martin Luther King, and a great man of India, BR Ambedkar, whose contribution was truly undeniable. He fought shoulder to shoulder with the heroes for the freedom of the country, and after many wars, he was the first to write the Constitution of India, and he made caste discrimination and equality understood. He freed the lower caste people from the harsh rules and regulations and made such rules so that all people can stand in one row. You will notice that the reason for the violence and riots among people year after year is that the caste system, everyone uses violence and terrorism to prove the superiority of their own religion, and conspires to show other castes as inferior. If we do not wake up now, then humanity will not survive. We are all equal. No one is superior or inferior. This gap was created only by us. In fact, we are all equal, all human beings.
