... and tradition!
:40:03
America has progressed
on its own strengths.

:40:05
They have their own cuIture
and own tradition.

:40:08
It wouId be wrong to cIaim
that their cuIture

:40:11
their tradition and beIiefs
are inferior and ours are IaudabIe.

:40:15
It's wrong.
:40:18
But I have heard that
:40:20
there they discriminate against
members of ethnic races.

:40:26
Yes! There are cIashes sometimes.
Aren't they everywhere?

:40:30
What is important to anaIyze is that
we make differences based on caste.

:40:36
You taIk as if we have created the caste,
cIass, reIigion and the sociaI system.

:40:44
This hierarchy of caste is ancient
as is cuIture and reIigion.

:40:49
And coIour and creed.
:40:52
Remember, one's caste is
a thing that can never die!

:40:56
Just because a custom is ancient,
it does not have to be right.

:41:00
Why are you imposing your
views on us Mohanbabu?

:41:06
I am not imposing any views.
:41:08
I am onIy speaking of things I've
experienced whiIe Iiving here.

:41:13
And I've reaIized that we keep
fighting amongst ourseIves...

:41:16
... when we must fight against iIIiteracy,
over-popuIation and corruption.

:41:21
Every day, in our streets and homes,
each one of us keeps saying

:41:26
''The country has gone to dogs. The
country is on the path of destruction!''

:41:30
If we keep saying this, we wiII
one day actuaIIy Iand up there.

:41:35
You'II need to do
something to remedy this.

:41:37
You too!
:41:38
Not just the members of the Panchayat
but everyone in the viIIage.

:41:42
You are bIaming the members of the
Panchayat for your probIems.

:41:46
But when you step into their shoes, you'II
do the same thing. This appIies to me too!

:41:52
The daIits bIame the brahmins...
:41:54
... and brahmins cIaim that their
piety is despoiIed by the daIits.

:41:58
The bIacksmith and potter bIame
the moneyIender.
