" What happened, Bondhu?" " Nothing." "Then why were you screaming?" "Because the train is about to arrive." "And Mr. Dwarka is arriving by this train." " Is our Dwarka coming?" "!" " Yes, he is." "Oh wow!" " Ramu!" " Yes?" "Wow!" "My same old village!" "The same old station master!" "The same old porter Ramu!" " And the same old Bhondu!" " Master!" "My master has become a doctor!" "Our new assistant." "Idiot!" "Your master is riding you." "Sprint with pride." "Or else..." "Mr. Dwarka, give this old horse some medicine once we get home." "We'll have to consult another doctor for him." "I don't know how to prescribe medicines for horses." "If you can't treat horses how will you treat human beings?" "How will you practice medicine here?" "I won't be practicing here." "Not here in Sholapur?" "Neither in Sholapur nor in our country." "Then where?" "In some other country." "Why?" "For my country..." "For my beloved India." "That won't be any life, master." "That will just be the life, Bhondu." "Brother is back!" "Brother!" "Mother!" "I'm back." "God bless you, my child!" "Have something to eat first." "Oh!" "It's 'Laddus'." "My dear mother!" "Look at how thin you've become." "I'm fine, mother." "Stop worrying." " But where is father?" " He is not at home." " He's gone to the city." " City?" "Yes." "He has asked you to come there." " Why?" " I won't tell you." "Go there and take a look yourself." "Brother Dwarka!" "Brother, this cane is very nice." "Can I take it?" "No." "Give it here." "No." "I've got it for father from Bombay." "Father!" "God bless you, son!" "This is for you." "It's nice." "But you are my real support in my old age." "Father?" "Not only this board but your entire clinic has been equipped with everything." "Now you can begin your practice whenever you want." " But father..." " Have a look around first." "This is the waiting room." "Mother!" "Come." "This is your room." "This is the operation theater." "Father..." "I know you will be disappointed to hear this." "But I won't practice here." "You won't practice here?" " Then where will you practice?" " I want to go to China." "On the war front." "On the war front?" "As an army doctor?" "Yes, father." "I have given my word." "The voice is still echoing in my ears." "Yesterday when I was passing by the Azaad Maidan in Bombay I saw a big crowd gathered there." "One of the leaders of our country was addressing the crowd with great enthusiasm." "Brothers and sisters, you are aware of the atrocities meted out on China by Japan." "The heart wrenching shrieks of the millions of widows and orphans of that country have shaken the world and the very foundations of this earth!" "Just think and tell me." "Isn't it our duty to help our neighbour?" "People replied with equal enthusiasm." "Yes, we must help them!" "Then let's get together and serve that nation." "Some of you can fulfill your duties by sending across medicines and other necessities." "And thus prove your sympathies towards them." "Yes!" "People donated thousands of rupees for this cause." "At this, the leader once again spoke in a voice of anguish." "It's nice to know that you're willing to help in every way." "But more than these materialistic things we need doctors there!" "Are there any doctors who are willing to risk their own lives and go on the war front to China and treat the millions of war victims?" "!" "The thousands of people gathered there fell silent." "There was absolute silence." "The leader appealed once again." "Is there any such patriotic doctor?" "!" "To this I replied, "Yes, there is"." " What's your name?" " Dwarkanath Kotnis." " Where are you from?" " Sholapur." "Praise be Dr. Dwarkanath!" "Praise be Kotnis!" "Praise be Sholapur!" "Praise be our country!" "Father, why are you quiet?" "You don't agree with my decision, do you?" "I am sure you are worrying about something." "You have to tell me." "Doesn't a son have even this much of right over his father?" "He surely does." "But a father has more rights over his son." "You agree, don't you?" "Go and start preparing to go to China." "Father!" "You mean it?" "!" "Are you happily sending me?" " Have I done the right thing?" " Yes, you have." "Had I been in your place, I would have done the same." "Thank you, father!" "There couldn't be a better father!" "Oh get away!" "Show this affection to your mother." "Mother!" "'The Indian medical mission will be leaving for China tonight by the Rajput vessel." "'The five brave doctors of the Indian medical mission'" "Father, please meet my colleagues." "The other doctors in our medical mission." "Meet Dr. Atal, our leader from Lucknow." "Dr. Cholkar from Nagpur." "Dr. Basu and Dr. Mukherjee are from Calcutta." "I am very happy to meet all of you." "I feel as though, not one but five of my sons are going on war." "May God protect you all." "Brother!" "Mother is calling you." "Mother, you love lighting these lamps, don't you?" "Your mother's affection lies in this, son." "May God bless you with a long life!" "May your wish be fulfilled soon and you return home." "I shall await your arrival with this lit lamp." "My Dwarka!" "Oh dear!" "You forgot to give him the ring." "You reminded me just in time." "Son, this ring is not a mere map of our country." "It is a jewel in the honour of our nation." "This ring will not only remind you of us but also that the honour of our country is in your hands." "Return to your country only after completing the task undertaken." "Mr. Atal, it has been four months since we left our country." "We haven't received a single letter from home." "So all of you are missing home." "This is what happens when one is idle." "If nothing else, let's take care of these boxes." "All one can gets to see is medicines here." "You might just find a medicine to rid you of your loneliness." "Wow!" "This is an amazing medicine!" " What is it?" " Let's have a look." "Here." "Listen to the song!" "It feels as though we are in India." "That's the enemy bombardment!" "Get to safety!" "Wait, doctor." "You're here to save lives and to lose one." "Don't stop me." "Can't you hear the kids screaming?" "I will save them." "I say, wait!" "Thank you for saving my life." "All the kids have been saved." "Now hurry and get out of here." "May Lord Vishnu bless you for this noble deed!" "You seem very interested in India." "That's right." "I've spent 10 years in your beautiful country travelling all over." "People call me a vagabond Vagabond Wong." "Not Vagabond, but you are Our Wong..." "Uncle Wong." "I'll call you Uncle Wong from now onwards." "My name is Dwarka Kotnis." "That's a nice name you have." "I'm glad to meet you." "Years ago, India had sent the message of Gautam Buddha in order to calm our restless spirits." "And this time India has sent you in order to soothe the injured body of China." "You're so good, Dwarka." "You parents are very fortunate to have a son like you." "My parents...!" "Wow!" "Letters from India!" "Letters from home!" "What happened, Dwarka?" "My father..." "He is no more!" "Dwarka, pull yourself together." "Try to bear the grief." "I wonder what state my mother is in." "Dwarka, I think you should return to India." "It is very important for you to be next to your at this point." "All right, doctor." "I should be going." "I'll go make arrangements for your departure." "Mukherjee and Basu, pack Dwarka's bags." "Son, this is not only the map of India but the jewel in honour of our country." "Not only will this ring remind you of us but also that the honour of our country rests in your hands." "Return to your country only after you've completed the task taken." "Dwarka, hurry and have your meal." "You may have to leave as soon as Dr. Atal arrives." "I don't want to go." "You don't want to go?" "You don't want to go to India?" "All the arrangements have been done." "Don't make it late." "But Dwarka says that he does not want to go." "Yes, doctor." "My duty compels me to stay here with you." "Your mother will be disappointed." "In fact she will be disappointed if I leave my work unfinished." "Even my father's soul will be hurt." "The duty of a son of India is not to run away from a battlefield and find refuge in a mother's veil!" "It will be cowardice if I shun my responsibilities instead of sacrificing my life for the honour of my nation." "It will be a mar bravery." "I had promised my parents something." "And I won't go home until I have completed the task." "It has been decided to send you to war to north China." " Here's the map of your journey." " Thank you." "I am also sending a young man along with you." "He will accompany you till Yanan." "He has to proceed elsewhere from there." "He's smart and has studied a small medical course." "Where is he?" " You got late?" " Yes, sir." " Do you know them?" " No, I don't." " They are China's friends." " Yes, sir." " Indian doctors." " No, sir." "Yes, sir." " When do we meet again, uncle?" " We'll surely meet." "After all I am vagabond Wong." "Aachin!" "Come in." "Hurry." "Make yourself comfortable." "There's lots of space." "Right, sir." "Come closer." "Why are you afraid?" "Everyone is equal on a journey, brother." "Where did you get these girl like hands from?" "You have a nice hand." " You'll get a nice wife." " No, sir." " What?" " Yes, sir." "What do you mean by yes and no?" "Do you want a wife or not?" "Why are you making a face?" "Laugh." "Yes, sir." "'Yanan'" "Welcome to the guerrilla regiment." "I give all of you a very warm welcome!" "Let me show you where you are to stay." "Where is Aachin?" " Are you leaving?" " Yes, sir." "You must say, "Namaste"." "What?" "Listen, Basu." "Respected Uncle Wong, we've stayed in Yanan for 6 months and have come to north of China." "Dr. Cholkar and Dr. Mukherjee fell ill on reaching Yanan." "They were compelled to return to India." "Even Dr. Atal has fallen very sick and is leaving for India today." "Even Basu and I have been ordered to leave Yanan and proceed further to separate Guerrilla war areas." " And..." " End the letter, Dwarka." " Dr. Atal will get late." " All right." "The rest will follow later..." "Dwarka." "How unfortunate that even I have fallen sick and am returning back to our country." "Now the responsibility of our mission is in your hands." "Basu, now it is our turn to separate." "I'll keep writing." "Please reply to my letters, Dwarka." "Definitely." "Listen!" "Don't leave me behind and return home after the war." "Bye." "Time is running out." "The path is unknown and the destination far." "Dr. Dwarkanath Kotnis." "Where can I meet the General of the Guerrilla warfare?" "I haven't met him ever since I got here." "I'll take you." "He's in his cave treating his old wounds." "Let's go." "Where is the General?" "Here he is..." "There he goes." "Get to your posts before the enemy attacks." "The enemy is carrying a lot of weapons." " Excuse me, General!" " Who is it?" "!" " You are the Indian doctor?" " Yes." "I am sorry." " Your name..." " Dwarkanath Kotnis." "Dr. Kotnis, I am glad to meet you." "General, get your bandage tied." "All right." "Wait!" " You have less guns." " But we have these." "We'll tackle the enemy with these." "Very good!" "Very good!" "How will one tie the bandage until you don't stay still?" "I can't stay still." "Forget the bandage." "Very good, soldiers!" "You have to get good prey today." "Keep a strict watch over them." "The Japanese beasts should not get away." "Hey!" "Look here!" "Now you had better look and listen, General." "Just the way you're responsible for the Guerrilla force similarly I'm responsible for the welfare for everyone." "Yes, of course, doctor." "You ought to realise that you are the life of this place." "Hence, you should always take care of your health." "All right, doctor." "You are right." "I'll show you the hospital here." "Since the past one month we've been running the hospital without a doctor." "Isn't that strange?" "It's good to have you around." "Look, he is your new doctor..." "Wait!" "Where is the list of the number of people to be operated?" "Bring the list quickly." "Who are you?" " How come you're here?" " I'm your assistant." "That's good." "Get everything ready." " Now help me wash my hands." " Yes." "What are you doing?" "Come on!" "Hey, you're a girl!" " So why the disguise?" " To avert the enemies." "What's your real name?" "And where are you from?" " Why did you leave Peking?" " Wash your hands." "You had all of us fooled on the journey." "Soap." "Those delicate hands like a girl were actually a girl's hands." " And what else?" " Nothing at all." "Now what do we do?" "!" "I mean, now what will you do?" "I'll show you the way." " Let's go." " Where?" "The place where you stay." "And..." " What happened?" " This is your cave." "It couldn't be so close." "It isn't mine." "Now what can one do?" "Come in and have tea and then go to your cave." "What times!" "It doesn't take much for a girl to become a boy." "Yes, doctor?" "I won't let you go." "You have had me confused since yesterday." "What's the matter with you?" "Within a moment you are happy as ever can be." "And in no time, you're as sad as a shriveled flower." "What is the mystery?" "Why don't you answer?" "Don't you trust me?" "Why are you behaving this way?" "Is it because I am a foreigner, an Indian?" "Don't speak so, doctor." "I trust you." "I was afraid lest my mournful tale may upset you too." "A chill runs down my spine whenever I think of the frightful sight I had seen." "And my smile fades away." "I am sorry." "But I will never ask you this ever again." "No." "Now I feel like sharing my story with you." "I was studying medicine at the Nanking College of Medicine." "Everyone is aware of the atrocities meted out in college." "The bloodshed grounds where unarmed youth were slaughtered by the enemy." "The old and sick were crushed under their heels!" "Pregnant women were strangled!" "Innocent children were swung in the air and killed with spikes!" "Amongst those killed was my family too!" "I don't know why God spared me." "It was easy for me to die but difficult to live." "I was alone." "I disguised myself, faced all difficulties and somehow managed to hide myself and get here." "To serve my country." "You are a very brave girl." "Even a man would find it difficult to face such problems." "The state of my countrymen is worse than my grief." "But what can we do?" "We can at least try to lessen their pain." "This is the biggest duty of a doctor." "Yes, doctor." "We shall help them relieve their pain." "We shall give them happiness and relief." "You are very nice." "Hey, this is of use to me." "What are you doing, General?" "This is an operation scissor." "Yes, I know." "I am operating on these sick moustaches." "General, why have you sported this moustache?" "Why don't you just clean it off?" "Clean it off?" "Never." "Nobody will call me a General if I have no moustache." " Tea?" "Black tea?" " Yes." " Sugar?" " No, thank you." "One doesn't require sugar in Chinese tea." "Don't you know?" "Indians call sugar 'Chini'." "No wonder you speak so sweet." "You're teasing me!" "Can't you think of something else to speak?" "Who else do I talk about?" " Talk about here and there." " Here and there?" "!" "There's nothing there, nor here." "All right." "Let's talk about this teapot." ""The most beautiful teapot in the world"" ""There's nectar in your body"" ""Your rosy lips emit a fragrance so sweet"" ""You make me warm and give me a sense of peace"" ""In every senses lies"" "Enough." "Are you day dreaming?" "Is your dream girl a pretty bride or the teapot?" ""I talk about the teapot but have in mind the bride"" "That's a lovely tune you're humming." "What song is it?" "It's the song of a Chinese bride." " Song of a Chinese bride?" " Yes." " I will surely hear you sing." " What if I don't sing?" "Then I shall leave immediately." "You're most welcome to." "Fate has brought us together." "You from Peking and me from India." "There has to be some mystery for us to meet here." "What better than this that I have got a good doctor and you a good assistant." " Is that all?" " That is more than enough for me." "Hello, Dwarka!" "Uncle Wong?" "!" " When did you come?" " Just today." "And I have got tired looking for you." "Please come in, uncle." "Chinlan, meet Uncle Wong, an old friend of mine." "Uncle, she is Chinlan, my assistant." "She is very nice." "Your assistant is very nice." "Let's leave, uncle." "Well, Uncle?" "How are you?" "Tell me all about you?" "I'll tell you all, but first you tell me one thing." "Have you fixed everything with Chinlan as yet or not?" "What are you talking about?" "Whether she will marry you or not?" "You're amazing, uncle!" "I say..." "I mean, we hardly know each other." "And I wonder if she even likes me or not." "One can miss the light at times." "The sparkle in her eyes said that she likes you." "All right, uncle." "May be so." "I'll ask her someday." "When two hearts meet, you mustn't hesitate." "Waste no time or time shall fly away." "In fact go and ask her right now." "All right, uncle." "All right, uncle." "Is there a dearth of boys in China?" "!" "I'm back." "What's the matter?" "Who were they?" "They seemed to be angry." "They came to see me." "The elders of the neighbouring village." "Even Mr. Wong is the elder of Chunking." "He's been very helpful to me." "He asked me whether I had asked you or not?" "I laughed and told him that I would ask you right away." "Then on the way I thought this is no joke." "After all I have to say it one day." "So why not today?" "Chinlan, don't think I am fooling." "Chinlan, I mean to actually ask you this." "Will you marry me?" "Answer, Chinlan." "Will you marry me?" "I am sorry, doctor." "But you haven't understood me." "Why haven't I understood you?" "Are you trying to say that I am not worthy of you?" "That's not the case, doctor." "All I want to say is that I will never marry." "I am helpless." "That means, our friendship, our meetings, our talks, our hopes..." "That was a big mistake." "We ought to have concerned ourselves only to the hospital." "All right." "You've taken it to heart." "You are angry." "Doctor, are you still angry with me?" "Soap." "I was helpless then and still am." "Water." "There's no harm in talking to me properly." "Doctor, we can still be friends." "We should associate ourselves only with the hospital work." "Uncle!" "The General has asked you to report to him immediately." "Really?" "Doctor, these people have a complaint against you." "What's the matter?" "I ask you the same?" "Why have I been brought here as a prisoner?" "Answer my question first, doctor." "Do you love this girl?" " Yes..." "But..." " No ifs or buts!" "Do you love the doctor?" "Answer!" "Yes, but the truth is..." "I don't care about what the truth is!" "How shameless they can get!" "They even admitted their mistake." "Shut up!" "Both the culprits have admitted their mistakes." "Now they will be given such a punishment that..." "General, she is not at fault." "I am the only culprit." "No, General." "The doctor is innocent." "If at all anyone is at fault, it is me." "This only proves how deep their love is for each other." "Hence I shall punish them very severely." "I shall give them a severe punishment." "So that they do not waste time in love." "And that they wed each other within 3 days." "There's no need to get angry." "The General's decision implies that their wedding will be a beautiful memory of the Indo-China relationship." "General, where is Dwarka?" "You look so good in the Chinese outfit." "Look over there as well." "You're looking beautiful!" "Just like an Indian bride." "This precious ring which is dearer to me than life I hand over to you." "What an auspicious wedding!" "It has united two hearts, two hands and two countries." "You look so lovely and sweet!" "I wish even my mother was watching you at this moment." "Will she like me?" "Will she be happy to see me?" "She will be." "Even happiness would be happy on seeing you." "Chinlan, my desire is to see you happy always." "Happiness is so rare in a battlefield." "I completely forgot." "What are you doing?" "This is a Chinese tradition." "Every Chinese bride has to do this after marriage." "But you're an Indian wife." "Then what does an Indian bride have to do?" "It's a custom which if not practiced angers God." " God gets angry?" " Yes." "Tell me what the custom is." "Wait..." "I get it." "The old books have this." "The bridegroom sits the way I am sitting." "And the bride..." "And the bride sits at this distance from the groom." "And there's no problem if the distance reduces." "And then the groom puts his right arm across the bride and holds the bride's right hand." " And then?" " Then there's hardly anything." "The groom takes his hand..." "With his right hand he lifts the bride's face and moves forward." "He moves still further..." "Come on!" "You've sweet talked your way into using your hands." "You mustn't move away." "An Indian bride never does that." "But Chinese brides do it." "I will never sit next to you ever again." "I'll go away from here." "Even if you call me I won't come." "You're not even calling me." "I am actually leaving." "Watch out!" "The enemy is dropping bombs!" "Dwarka, promise me that you will always remain with me." "Yes, Chin." "I will always remain with you." "Last night's bombardments clearly indicate that the enemy has learnt of this base." "They will keep bombarding our camp." "We will have to shift immediately." "Get ready soon." "Hurry!" "Basu, and this is how we have been walking since months." "We have covered several miles." "The enemy does not let us rest any place." "Once we reached the Lungshang hill beyond the enemy line." "And then..." "What are you thinking about, Dwarka?" "A new kind of disease like blisters is spreading amongst our patients." "If it spreads, the result will be very frightful." "All three of them succumbed to the disease of blisters." "Wait!" "The same damn blister!" "Chin, pass me the slide." "I want to observe the pus of this blister under a microscope." "I am perplexed at what this disease is." "This damn blister!" "Please cut off my leg!" "This horrible blister!" "Yes!" "This is what should be done." "What, Dwarka?" "I will inject the pus from this blister in my body." "With this we will know how it's poison effects me." "Then it will be easier to deduce a treatment." "What do you think about it?" "We don't know what kind of poison it is and how it will affect you." "It's a risk to your life." "I'll never let you do such a thing." "Why not?" "!" "Be at guard!" "The enemy airplanes are approaching!" "Careful!" "So you did what you wanted to do." "You have tried eight kinds of medicines already." "This time, this new medicine will surely work." "My wound is healing." "The new medicine worked!" "I've found the cure to the damn blister!" "The new revolution!" "How is your blister?" "How are you?" "Thank you, doctor." "All of us are fine now." "That's good." "Let me have a look at your blister." "Very good!" "Chin, get me another bandage." "What happened, Chin?" "Are you ill, Chin?" "What a good doctor you are?" "Can't you tell even this much?" "What?" "You're pregnant." "This means we are going to have a tiny soldier in our army." "It will be a tiny doctor, not a soldier." "That's right." "A tiny doctor." "A very big doctor, and not a tiny one." " Come with me." " Where?" "Come along." "Friends, this is that brave man who made many a big sacrifices for our country." "This is the brave man who risked his life and gave us a cure to the poisonous blister disease." "This is that brave man who saved the lives of millions of patients." "Not only are you the son of India but also of our country." "Now onwards we shall address you as "The apple of China's eye"" "Thank you!" ""The apple of China'a eye"" "Son, too bad that you have fallen ill." "Don't worry, uncle." "I am absolutely fine." "Let's go." "There's a big enemy force advancing towards us." "I'll head towards them with all the men." "You take the children, women and sick to the Lungshang hill." " Don't delay." " But General..." "It's better if I go with you." "It will be important for me to be there at this juncture." "Yes..." "You are right, doctor." "You remain here." "The injured will be sent here." "My brave girl, take the women and kids to the Lungshang hills." "Yes, General." "Bye..." "If I remain alive, we'll meet again." "May you be victorious!" "Chin, I am worried about you." "How will you bear the rough trek of the mountainous region in this state." "Don't worry about me." " You take care of yourself." " Yes, I will." "Who is it?" "!" "Our injured soldier." "Some more injured ones." "Enemy!" "Stop!" "Drop your gun!" "Raise your hands!" "You don't look like a Chinese." "Who are you?" " I am an Indian doctor." " What are you doing here?" "To see the acts of you brutes!" "Not now!" "He may come handy." "Take him to our headquarters at Nanking." "Come on!" "Stay ready." "He may come out." "He's dead!" "Now only his dead body will float!" "Let's leave." "Hey!" "Move aside!" "That's right." "Lungshang hill." "How far is it from here?" "It's miles away." "It will take you months to get there." "But look at your state." "How will you get there?" "Have you given up on your life?" "My life and duty await me at the Lungshan hill." " Doctor Kotnis is back!" " Water..." "Get some water quickly." " Uncle Wong!" " Dwarka!" "Where is Chinlan?" "What's it, uncle?" "You've been blessed with a tiny doctor." "Really?" "!" " Where is she?" " Right there in her cave." "I don't believe it that I'm here alive in front of you." "Look..." "Look at the child." "He's just like you." "Chin, I'll be back." "I'll go meet everyone." "Child, it would be advisable to stop Dwarka from working." "But he doesn't heed anybody." "He'll insist on working till he continues to see injured soldiers." "This is why I was telling you to take him to India." "But he doesn't heed you either." "I'll talk to the General once he comes back from war." "Dwarka may heed him." "Don't make noise." "The doctor is ill, let him sleep." "But the General has been badly injured." " What should we do?" " We have to save him." "We'll be ruined without him." "What are you doing?" "Where do you want to go?" "Didn't you hear them say that the General has been injured." "He needs me." "But think about your health, Dwarka." "Then who will treat the General?" "Is there any other doctor here besides me?" "You don't expect me not to save such a big man's life and worry about my life instead." "Not at this moment." "Chin, do you know how important the General is for this country?" "China's victory and freedom..." "Get ready for the operation." "Doctor, he's got three bullet marks." "Two in the left arm and one deep in the chest." "The operation was successful." "The General is saved." "The operation was successful." "The General is saved." "Soap." "Wash your hands, Dwarka." "Chin, do you remember that day?" "After the operation at the hospital, just this way you and I..." "Uncle!" "What an unfortunate day!" "Dwarka is not well." "And there is bad news from India." " What is it, uncle?" " Nothing." "You were talking about India, right?" "Yes." "The Japanese have attacked India as well." "If only I was in India today." "Uncle, can I go to India?" "Sure, my son." "But would I be unfaithful to China if I go away leaving China in these tough moments." "No." "In fact we would want you to go and help your nation." "All right." "There's one more thing that I want to ask." "Will Chin come with me?" "Won't she be sad to leave her country?" "She is your wife after all." "Now your country is her country as well." "Then we shall surely go to India." "Can the arrangements for the journey be made?" "Yes, of course." "I'll make the arrangements right away." "We shall go to India!" "We shall go to India!" " What happened?" " Call Uncle Wong?" "Hurry." "The doctor's condition is worsening." "Chin, where is our son?" "Look at him." "Sit." "Come here." "I can see both of you from here." " Chin!" " Yes?" "Why are you crying?" "No, I'm not." "Now you ought to be happy." "We are going to India." "We are going to India." "Chin, we are going to India." "Look at those lofty mountains..." "The swirling streams..." "The lush green fields..." "The small villages..." "Just like your China." "And look, this is our village." "The train has stopped." "Take care while getting off with the child." "This is your first step on the land of your new country." "Look." "That is our station master." "He has the same assistant." "The same old porter Ramu." "All these people are my old friends." "They know me since my childhood." "And this is our Bhondu." "The same old carriage." "And the same old horse." "He will take us home." "Hurry, Bhondu." "Take us home soon." "Mother must be at the door with the lamp in her hands." "Chinlan, this is your new home." "Don't worry." "Come in." "Mother..." "Mother, we are back!" "She is your daughter-in-law." "And he is our little son." "We are back home." "We are back home." "I wish he had lived and visited India at least once." "Dwarka is still alive." "Noble men never die, they become immortal." "Chin, why are there tears in your eyes?" "No, there are no tears." "Now you ought to be happy." "We are going to India." "We are going to India."
