00:00When Jamuna ji used to go to Phoolan, what song would she sing?
00:06Do you understand?
00:30In Sheikhpura Guda, time moves slowly like the winding noon river that flows nearby.
00:47This village, forgotten by the world, holds the memory of a woman who defied it, Phoolan Devi.
00:54Phoolan, a bandit, a rebel, an icon.
00:58In life, she was many things.
01:00In death, she is almost a deity here.
01:05Phoolan was a great dharma.
01:07She was not scared of anyone.
01:09She used to climb the hill and when there was a protest, she used to say,
01:14SP sir, wear bangles and come to the ground.
01:19I remember that she raised her voice against the atrocities.
01:23And she did this for every girl.
01:26Only after hearing her name, no one can look at the village with evil eyes.
01:33And when she became an MP, everyone respects her.
01:42To the villagers, she is more than a memory.
01:45She is a promise that lingers in every corner of this place.
01:49But that promise was never fulfilled.
01:53Phoolan's legacy is woven with contradictions.
01:56Some say she made them feel safer, stronger.
01:59Yet others feel the weight of unchanging times.
02:04She wanted to do a lot for the Dalit community.
02:11In today's world, people have been looking down on us for generations.
02:20They have been making us slaves.
02:22That mentality is still there.
02:24Although they can't say it in front of us.
02:27They look at us with evil eyes.
02:32They don't want us to grow.
02:35They don't want us to be educated.
02:37When we grow up, we will ask for our rights.
02:41We can fight.
02:43This is what they wanted.
02:46This is their mentality.
02:49Phoolan was more than a protector.
02:51She was a fire that burned against oppression.
02:55Oppression from caste, feudalism, patriarchy.
03:01She taught her people to resist, to claim their dignity.
03:04That flame sparked by her still flickers in the heart of many.
03:09Yet not far from here, in Bhaimai, her name is a shadow that looms large.
03:14A village haunted by the past, where her legacy is carved in pain and loss.
03:23But amidst the shadow, there is light.
03:26In the dreams of girls like Srishti and Tejal.
03:30Dreams of becoming police officers, soldiers and something more than what their mothers could be.
03:35In their hearts, Phoolan's spirit lives on.
03:39Pushing them towards a future that she could only imagine.
03:45Phoolan Devi, who was she?
03:47A rebel with a cause.
03:49A woman of many faces.
03:53In every story told here, in every word whispered, Phoolan endures.
03:58Forever part of this land, and forever beyond it.
04:16The disease of caste and feudalism should be eradicated.
04:23The disease of poverty and wealth should also be eradicated.
04:29Phoolan Devi, a woman of the heart.
04:34Lala dosa manne maare, baane Phoolan maare gaane.
04:42Lala dosa manne maare, baane Phoolan maare gaane.
04:50My mother was sitting in the courtyard and I was sitting in the courtyard.
05:02My mother was sitting in the courtyard and I was sitting in the courtyard.
05:07My mother was sitting in the courtyard and I was sitting in the courtyard.
05:17My brother was sitting in the courtyard and I was sitting in the courtyard.
05:26My Rakhi fell and the flower died.
05:34My enemy killed me and the flower died.
