Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 24th December 2019 Written Episode
The religion which differentiates between people is a trap to make people its servant.
Guru ji asks a question and asks the students who will answer it. Bheema raises his hand. Guru ji calls another kid but he gives the wrong answer. Bheema says I will. Guru ji asks him if he will actually do it. I will make give you punishment if you answer it incorrectly. He agrees. Guru ji does not let him pick the chalk himself and hands it in his hand from a distance. Bheema answers the question. Guru ji refuses to take the chalk back. He tells the kids not to use the chalk which Bheema has used. He asks another kid to answer but a kid says the board is impure now. I will write on my slate. Guru ji asks Balchand (a servant) to clean the board. The kid answers incorrectly. Bheema asks him if his answer was right. Guru ji nods. The kids are surprised. Bheema and Anand are unhappy with Guru ji’s decision of cleaning the board.
Ram ji tells his real name because of which the shop owner refuses to hire him. I don’t want to see you in this area again! Ram ji says everything was fine till the time I told you my name. The shop owner says name defines the caste and that defines your religion. No one should mess up when it comes to religion.
Bheema, Anand and Bala are having lunch. Anand and Bala are pleased with Bheema for getting them inside the class. Bheema eats chilli pickle. It is very spicy for him. He runs to drink water. He notices a kid pouring water for himself in a glass and runs towards the water pot. Balchand does not allow him to touch the pot. Drink water from outside. bheema asks him why he can’t do that. Hurry up. I am feeling spicy. Balchand advises him to ask Principal to get another pot for himself. Bheema asks him why but he again gets the answer that he cannot give water to someone like him. That same Guru ji (who had earlier supported Bheema) asks Balchand to give water to Bheema. Balchand complies.
Ram ji is feeling thirsty. He notices water pots and asks the guy sitting nearby if he can drink water. The guy nods but then asks him his caste.
Balchand asks Bheema to step back and bend down. He fills water in the steel bowl and raises it a little. On the other hand, Ram ji is also asked to do the same.
Bheema sits on his knees and takes his hands near mouth. His Guru ji leaves. Balchand pours water from above. All the students look on from far.
Ram ji drinks water in a similar manner. Few villagers look on.
Bheema thinks of a past incident when he had faced a similar situation. His mother had fed him water after which he finally calmed down. He runs to his brother. Bala asks him why he is crying. Why are your clothes wet? Bheema picks his bag and runs back home ignoring Anand’s pleas. The nice Guru ji looks on.
Ram ji’s wife is stitching clothes. Her daughter asks her why she keeps working when she is unwell. Her mother says Bheema would need new clothes for school. Her daughter gives up on her. you just need to work for some reason or other. Manjula asks Tulsa what she is thinking. Tulsa says I am wondering if Bheema would have gotten iniside the class or not. Manjula says who would let him inside in a day. They ask their Bua who is certain that Bheema would have surely made it possible. Manjula says I am waiting for Baba. He will have to treat us now. Her mother shows the new shirt. How is it? Bua says Bheema will look like a prince in this. Bheema counters them. I wouldn’t have been thrown out of class if I was a prince! I got inside but Guru ji asked us to sit in a separate corner. I cannot even drink water in front of others. I was made to sit on the ground. They were pouring it from above and it kept falling everywhere. My clothes are completely wet! You feed me water so sweetly. Bua points out that today is better than tomorrow as he made progress. Don’t cry. Bheema’s mother seconds her. Tomorrow would be better than tomorrow. Tell us how you got inside. bheema refuses to go to school from tomorrow. Ram ji overhears him saying it. Bheema requests him to get him out of the school. I wont go there. Ram ji asks him if he doesn’t want to go to school. Bheema denies. Ram ji asks him to come along. His sister requests him to let them handle it but he tells them not to intervene between father and son.
Ram ji takes Bheema with him. Bala and Anand watch them leave. The villagers eye Bheema and Ram ji in confusion. Mangesh taunts Ram ji. Did you son steal something? Are you going to punish him? Other villagers join in.
Ram ji’s wife worries that her husband might hit Bheema in anger. I am very worried. Her SIL is sure her brother will calm down after scolding Bheema a little. Why do you worry? You are not well.
Ram ji brings Bheema to a field which has just been ploughed. Ram ji throws a stone which falls somewhere in the middle. Bheema is asked to stand right there. He does as told.
Precap: Bheema is sleeping in his mother’s arms. She asks her husband why he wont tell Bheema why this is happening to him. This society is the culprit to every woman of our community. Bheema is at a barber’s shop. He refuses to cut Bheema’s hair and later goes to cut the hair of a cow. Bheema asks him if he cannot cut the hair of a kid but can certainly cut the hair of a cow. The barber tells him to ask his father the reason. Bheema asks his Baba what caste is he from. Entire family is taken aback by his question.
