🚶♂️ Raj's Journey and the Water Crisis in the Village
Raj embarks on his journey to Bilaspur, where he faces the harsh reality of water scarcity in the region. He encounters villagers who have to buy water from a man named Tulsiram, who has a monopoly on the village's water supply. Raj's request for water from two girls is denied, and he learns that water is a precious commodity in the village. He later meets an old man suffering from thirst, who offers to help the village find a new water source if they trust him.

ominous words please go
so Raj leaves for bilaspur after
traveling some distance
[Music]
wow I've traveled a long way here I will
rest somewhere and eat the food I have
brought with me
thinking Raj eats the food he has
brought with him he drinks the fresh
water he has brought with him and
continues his journey meanwhile oh it
gets so tiring to carry water from such
a distance I wish we had a well nearby
at least we would have found good water
there how good it would be to have that
well I don't like buying this water from
the tulsiram however I never dreamed
that one day I will have to buy water
and drink it what do we do half the day
goes into bringing water and half of the
day we have to work even if our men go
10 miles away from the village only then
they can find work yes yes there is
nowhere to farm for 10 miles around here
we cannot even grow crops because they
depend on total rain we don't even know
whether it is going to rain or it won't
what is a point of living like this but
these are our daily problems what's new
today
meanwhile Raj had traveled some distance
wow the sun is nice today
the water that I had brought has also
run out somebody is coming with water I
will ask her to give me some water
so Raj went to these two girls
hey I'm very thirsty
the water I had brought is also over can
you please pour some water into this
bowl I will drink it to quench my thirst
oh my God you are asking what you should
not ask in this Village this water
cannot be given to you we are buying
this from far away each part cost us
about 2 rupees why should we give it to
you what are you saying buying water
does anyone sell water which you buy
will they not sell I think this is the
first time you have come to our village
you can't even find a drop of water 10
miles around here if you are thirsty
there is tulsiram shop five miles from
here you can find anything you want
there but you will have to pay more than
what you normally pay that tulsiram is
very cunning man really is there a great
man who sells water here how does he get
that water which you do not get does he
have any Mantra education or what the
best water well in the whole village is
in tulsiram's house there is not a
single good water well anywhere else
even after digging so much no drop of
water fell anywhere knowing that trying
anymore is a waste of effort we all went
to that tulsiram's house and bought good
water with money okay
I would go to that tulsidam's house and
buy water but to get there I would have
to walk at least five miles
I need energy for that so I need to
drink some water if you don't want to
pour in this bowl pour some in my hands
I will quench my thirst with it
so Raj catches the water in the hands
and drinks the water they pour and
continues his journey to that tulsiram
shop after traveling a mile like that
oh today the sun is so hot that it makes
me very thirsty there is no one to give
water here while doing so a man comes
with holding pots he saw Raj
words are you are coming from a long
distance do you need any water if you
ask if we need water in this Village you
are like God
please give me this bowl full of water
oh oh don't praise me so much
why do you think I will just give you
water
I am bringing this pot of water for two
rupees but you have to pay me four
Rupees to fill the water in your bowl
tell me if you like it do you want to
fill the bowl with water or do you want
me to go decide quickly I am ready to
pay those four rupees here fill this
bowl full of water
that person fills the bowl full of water
what you poured a little bit water in
the pot you are carrying enough water
but you have given me little water for
four rupees tell me if this is fair to
you this is my job sir in this way I
quench The Thirst of these Wafers and
collect money from them but I told you
earlier it takes 4 Rupees to fill the
bowl
you are right here are the four rupees
what I never dreamed that I would even
buy water and drink it if it wasn't
hiragar what will we do well I'm very
hungry are there any orphanages near
about here could you guide me to some
orphanages nearby
it is difficult to find good water here
God it is also the house of children you
still have to walk at least 10 miles if
you want an orphanage house also no one
knows here if there will be a meal
if there is no orphanage home at least
self-catering is available I will cook
and eat ah why can't you find that four
miles from here there is tulsiram's shop
there you will get salt pulses and rice
along with good water you can pay money
to buy it go slowly okay
there's nothing else Raj can do so he is
leaving for tulsiram shop he hears
someone moaning and suffering on the way
[Music]
it sounds like someone is suffering from
thirst
when he went a little further he saw
he's a man morning under the tree
thirsty
thirsty thirsty
thirsty you are very depressed behold
drink this water drizzle a little I will
pour water Raj gives that old man some
water and quenches his thirst a person
passing by noticed it and came there
what are you doing I think you are new
to this Village he was forbidden to pour
good water don't you know that be
careful if you give water to this person
tulsidam will get angry why does your
king get angry if you pour water on this
person look how he's suffering from
thirst this old man has betrayed The
Village
if you give water to this old man you
will have to suffer the punishment be
careful what is the reason for this old
man to be in such a predicament can you
tell me a little bit actually this old
man has treated all the people in this
Village
thank you
the ground is buried all around if you
are fetching fresh water from a long
distance for thirst
if you do as I have said this Village
will be freed from water walls really
that tulsiram says that water does not
fall anywhere in this Village moreover
we have also dug in many places but no
water came here but how do you know that
waterfalls here I am a field man a
hydrologist I know where the water comes
listen to me and dig where I told you
water will surely fall trust me and go
ahead
knowing this tulsiram reaches there
you talk about we've dug surrounding
area but no water came anywhere now it
will come and gossip there will be no
one here to listen what I am saying is
true sir you take my word for it dig
where I said water will fall surely okay
okay we will take where you said if
there is no water you will be punished
accordingly tell me if you agree with
that okay I agree tulsiram I can tell
exactly where the water falls take my
word for it well if water falls where
you said I will give you a hundred
rupees otherwise no one will give you at
least water in this area okay let's go
there show me where the water falls okay
tulsiram goes alone with that old man
instead of the people in the village
thus the
water will fall in an area but tulsiram
orders them to dig somewhere other than
the place told by that old man
[Music]
water will fall there is no water
falling here all their hard work has
been wasted you will be punished
accordingly I didn't say about this
place water did not fall because you dug
somewhere else apart from this place
what I told you and the place I told you
is 100 feet away from here
no matter what that old man says
tulsiram misleads the people of Village
without listening to him from today if
anyone gives food and water to this old
man he or she will not get a single item
from my shop my men will be watching you
that person will tell Raj everything
that happened
this old man is being punished for his
betrayal of the village
in the meantime two people came there
with empty Parts they found out what was
going on there how far ago Suri died in
tulsiram civil they came to know about
it when we went for water the only well
in the village is closed now what to do
now hey what are you doing near This Old
Man
one day you will know how foolish you
were this old man is not an ordinary man
he is a field expert a hydrologist is
the god who will support your village
[Music]
comes there angrily knowing that Raj had
poured water for old man this old man
was forbidden by The Village knowing
that what is your purpose in giving him
water you will have to pay a heavy price
for it do you know I know I will take
where this old man tells me if water
falls there you don't have to give me
even a peppercorn but if there will be
no water I will give you a thousand
rupees do you agree with that I dug
earlier and did not fall now again it
does not need to take a new test we
don't want your thousand rupees But
first you go from here do you know about
this old man's past
did you see this King wants to cheat you

acceptable to you I am doing all this
for the betterment of this Village trust

so everywhere in the village agrees to
find a place where the water falls and
dig the well then Raj says sir now tell
me where does the water fall in this
area I will dig there
was somewhere now dig where I am water
is sure to come as soon as you dig 20
feet okay go ahead they started digging
there just as the old man said there the
water falls before digging 20 feet all
the people in the village are very happy
to see that a well is constructed there
did you see tulsiram has cheated you for
his business he is doing such a wild
business that he is selling water to
hide your innocence I want to file a
complaint against him to the king or
tell him what kind of punishment is best
for him go ahead tell me why is there
any punishment the old man who gave
water to our village and who is like a
god he faced so much trouble the same
