Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 23rd March 2020 Written Episode

Manjula and Tulsa refuse to play with Anand. You don’t know how to play honestly. He complains but Bhimbai stops them from arguing. She sends Anand to bring Bheema home. He is already disturbed by what he saw yesterday. Bhimbai decides to go for a walk. Meera offers to give her company. Bhimbai reminds her of her leg pain. Meera falls for her excuse. Bhimbai heads out.

Anand asks the same girl if she saw Bheema. She nods. He was near the road which heads to the village. Anand panics noticing the villagers around. It will be a problem! She does not care but he reasons that they will throw her and her family out of this village. He sends her away. Mangesh, Dhansukhlal and a few villagers notice them talking. Dhansukhlal questions Anand. He makes an excuse. She stopped and so did I. I couldn’t cross her way after all. He leaves. Mangesh tells Dhansukhlal to do something about Sakpal family to keep the girls of their community safe. Dhansukhlal agrees to do something. Let’s go for now.

Anand wonders if Bheema went inside the jungle.

Bheema comes to the place where the other people from his community live. He is reminded of his Baba’s words as he glances at the pots kept nearby. Bheema picks a stick and starts breaking the pots angrily. Villagers question him. Who will pay for this damage? Bheema says my Baba will indeed pay for it. Don’t you want these pots to break and these brooms to catch fire? They agree they don’t want to continue it but they are compelled to do it. You will know the rules of society when you will grow up. Bheema suggests them to stop using the lanes from where they must pass wearing this. They ask him what will happen then. He says new paths will be formed. One guy says it is very difficult to break these age old traditions. You wont understand. Bheema reasons that they have to begin from somewhere. Till when will you let this tradition continue? Is this the future that you want to give us kids? Will our generation never get freedom from this? They keep all the brooms together and set fire to it. They cheer in unison. Come what may, we wont go in that area ever again!

Dhansukhlal asks the villagers what happened when they weren’t here. Villagers tell him to do something to break the self-respect of Sakpal family. Dhansukhlal nods. He notices Anand nearby. You told me that Bheema was crying seeing people from his community wearing pot around their necks and broom around their back. Villagers nod. Dhansukhlal says their self-respect will be crushed when they will see their son walking in the same manner. Villagers applaud his idea. All eyes turn to Anand. Mangesh says let’s not waste time. Let’s catch him and implement what we have planned! Villagers surround Anand. He runs but another group blocks his way (with body contact). They manage to block all the chances of his escape.

Bheema asks those people to premise him they wont do anything demeaning from today. They say that is what we have been doing till date but from hereon we wont. Bheema says we also have self-respect and our own freedom. From today, we wont do anything that will demean it in any way.

Villagers bring a pot, ropes and broom for Anand. We will break the self-respect of Sakpal family now. Dhruv breaks the pot with a stone. He warns everyone to stay away. Puranjan stands in front of the kids as their shielf. He tells them to run away. They are hesitant but he insists. Few villagers stay back to fight with Puranjan while the rest chase Dhruv and Anand. They beat Puranjan stealthily by attacking him from behind. He gets injured badly yet continues fighting. Bheema notices Anand and Dhruv running and calls out to them. He asks them why they are running. Anand and Dhruv tell him everything.

Puranjan starts bleeding after being hit on the face. Pundit ji asks villagers if he is dead. They deny. Should we kill him? Pundit ji says no. It will be a sin! Puranjan thinks I told the boys to run in that direction as other people from our community live in that area. They would have been killed if they would have been caught by these villagers.
