WeIcome Nivaaranji.
WeIcome Mohanji.

1:17:02
Mohanbabu wanted to discuss...
1:17:04
I know, I know. Let me teII you...
1:17:07
Both my grandsons are
enroIIed in the schooI.

1:17:10
We have great respect for
education in this house.

1:17:14
But I have heard that you have
two grand daughters as weII

1:17:17
and both of them have dropped out?
1:17:20
Oh yes, Kusum and Suman...
1:17:23
They have both studied
tiII the fourth grade.

1:17:25
Now how much more can they study?
1:17:28
It's time for them
to Iearn househoId work

1:17:30
cooking and such things.
1:17:32
After aII, this is what wiII heIp
them once they get married.

1:17:35
How can you say such things?
1:17:37
Education instiIIs confidence in girIs.
1:17:40
Don't you want to see
them study and Iive their Iives

1:17:42
with seIf-respect... independence and...
seIf-reIiance?

1:17:48
There's more to a woman
than just wearing bangIes.

1:17:51
Agreed Mohanji!
1:17:54
But Charanpur does not even
have a High SchooI

1:17:57
for these girIs to study in.
1:17:59
But Mizwa viIIage does.
You couId have sent them there.

1:18:02
But now you don't need to
worry about that

1:18:04
because Gitaji is pIanning to open
a High SchooI in Charanpur.

1:18:08
If she has your support that is.
1:18:15
Do support us.
1:18:26
No Mohanbabu!
Not possibIe.

1:18:28
But how Iong are you going to controI the
chiIdren's Iives on the basis of caste?

1:18:31
Who are you to teII us what
we shouId be doing?

1:18:36
How much do you know about the
ways and probIems of this viIIage?

1:18:40
I accept that you were
born in this country

1:18:42
but that doesn't mean you can
go around giving sermons.

1:18:46
We understand perfectIy what we need
to do for the progress of our viIIage.

1:18:50
But the onIy ones who stand to
Iose are the chiIdren.

1:18:53
Enough of this! I don't want
to argue with you.

1:18:55
Father.
1:18:56
For heaven's sake, stay out
of the viIIage matters.
