HAIL ARYAVARTA Hail Aryavarta! Hail Aryavarta! At ease.
It gives me great pleasure to see you happy.
Remember the time when you were first brought here.
You were filled with sorrow.
And look at you now.
Such happiness.
Such joy abounds here.
When there is so much joy here, why must we leave? Why take the purity test? Why have I been brought here? Did you not marry outside your community? All permissions were scrapped.
In order to move ahead, we must erase the sins of our past.
Your sin too shall be erased.
But it's my life.
I won't be quiet.
Why should I be? I haven't Sit down.
This test will confirm your purity.
Shalini, why must we take the purity test? Because it makes us pure.
You are ready for the purity test, Shalini.
You are more focused on your duties than the others.
Renu.
Sudha.
Jyoti.
And Sonal.
You have dedicated and sacrificed a lot for this cause.
Now your life is about to change.
Now prepare for the transformation.
Those who fail the purity test will spend the rest of their lives living like insects at the labor camp.
You will never meet your family again.
- Yes, Guru Ma.
- Yes, Guru Ma.
- Any doubts? - No, no.
Very well, then.
- Hail Aryavarta! - Hail Aryavarta! - Hail Aryavarta! - Hail Aryavarta! - Hail Aryavarta! - Hail Aryavarta! DAILY SCHEDULE Collect them and place them near the door.
Why are you making us do this? Why, she asks! Have you forgotten what Guru Ma said? These aren't pebbles, they depict your character, whore.
Get started! Tell me something.
If you had the permit for marriage, why was it canceled? Is your husband Muslim? Of course not.
He's a Category Two.
And I'm a Category Five.
Is yours a Muslim? And kids? One daughter.
She's with her grandparents.
What? The government takes away kids of mixed parentage.
This rule came into effect three months ago.
Where do they take them? No idea.
Ms.
Tina, check out these two gossips.
Hey! What are you two chattering about? Shalini, go help Madhu.
And the rest of you, follow me.
Do they really take away children of mixed parentage? Where would they take them? These are just rumors.
Come on.
- Please visit my house and check.
- How can I go? I don't make deliveries there.
Can you call and find out? Call and find out? It's not that easy.
Now you need a permit to use the phone.
You can't just enter any sector.
You need a pass for everything.
Please don't lie.
Get out of here! Don't lie to me.
- Didn't I let you steal oil the last time? - What do you mean "steal oil"? I don't take anything for myself.
- We don't get anything at the labor camp.
- Tina's coming.
Hurry up! What are you guys up to? What are you guys up to? - Hurry up! - We're coming! Bring MB-11.
We have to check its purity.
Hey, get the baby ready.
MIXED BLOOD Hand me the baby.
- Why are you taking her away? - Give it here.
- No questions.
Step back.
- Where are you taking her? Children of mixed parentage are a burden.
We have to cleanse Aryavarta of them.
She's just a baby.
Where are you taking her? - No! No! Where are you taking her? - Move! Kanika, your baby! - Move! - Where are you taking her? Stop! Kanika! - Make way! - Where are you taking her? Kanika! Let her go! We were told we could keep our children with us while we are here.
Please let her go.
- Hey, move aside.
- What's happening here? Get back to work! Hey, Kanika! What's this commotion? Guru Ma will punish you.
Get up, bitch! Hey! WOMEN'S WELFARE CENTER Please come in.
For the greater good of Aryavarta, I pledge to lay my life down or kill anyone, if duty calls.
For the greater good of Aryavarta, I pledge to lay my life down or kill anyone, if duty calls.
- I will not hesitate - I will not hesitate if I have to kill my child.
If I What's the matter? Are my words falling on deaf ears today? If I have to kill my child.
If I have to kill my child.
Rowdy, wretched, filthy women.
Will you lead Aryavarta to greatness? You don't believe in duty.
You don't believe in lineage.
Shame on you! Who started it? Who started it? I won't ask again.
Who was it? Shame on you.
I gave you an opportunity to take the purity test.
And this is how you repay me? I was wrong.
You're unworthy to take the purity test.
You'll be replaced by Bina.
You may leave now.
Kanika, you've violated the rules of Aryavarta.
You're unworthy of being considered human.
By marrying this animal, you will become part of your true species.
We don't punish.
We believe in cures.
This will cure you.

Riz! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
I'm so proud of you.
You did the right thing.
How? It was my fault Kanika was married to a dog.
What else could you have done? Riz, they've removed my name from the list.
I can never come home now.
You'll be back home soon.
- Trust me.
- Stop bullshitting me.
- Shalini - Yeah? LEILA, LEILA - Take the pill.
- Why? I'm a doctor.
Take my advice.
Renu, go to sleep.
Hello! Hello! Help! Help! Hello! Hello, sir! Help! Help! Hey! Help! Hello! Help! Help! Help! Help! It's better to take the pill than drink this dirty water, Shalini.
Do you know? Pooja is to have an abortion.
Guru Ma has ordered Renu to perform the abortion.
You don't know anything.
Move it! Come on.
- Let me go.
- Come on.
- Why don't you understand - Come on, you whore.
- Come on, Pooja.
- Move it.
- Renu, be sure you kill her baby.

Karishma.
Karishma.
Oh, no, Kanika! Aryavarta is honored by your devotion.
Immerse yourself in this waste.
Lose yourself in it.

You think you're very smart.
- What do you mean? - You think the rest of us are fools? That's what you think, right? I'll go tell Guru Ma right away.
What will you tell him? Come on, say it! That you're still carrying the child, that's what.
Wait and watch how I screw you two.
I'm going to name my child Aryavarta.
Then it would be fair for me to die or kill in his name.
That's what they teach here, right? You will die, then.
Come on, let's go to Guru Ma.
Watch how I pass the purity test.
- You'll rot here while I'll be free.
- Hey! What if she wakes up? Let's tie her up.
Pass the cloth.
What do we do now? What if she dies? Wait, let me think.
Would you do anything for your child? Why? Wouldn't you? Come in.

I'm sure that after the purity test, she'll make you proud, too.
Let the ceremony begin.
Shalini Pathak.

Or is it Shalini Rizwan Chowdhury? Shalini Pathak.
Your husband's name? I have no husband.

- Got it? - He can't do that? We can't let you go till he comes to get you.
Usually, we burn all the clothes you bring from home.
But I couldn't burn this.
You'll need this in that hellhole you're heading into.

I'm just so busy these days.
My workforce is full of lazy idiots.
Always ready with excuses.

- Will you tame me, too? Who's going to scan her? Oh, I forgot.
You make me forget everything.
Say that with love, my love.
You make me forget everything, love.
