"We will settle our differences ourselves."
On Rustom Sethna's dinner invitation, there was distress between the British man and head cop Jaswant Singh. The British man argued that "If we leave India the Sikhs, Muslims, Hindu, Parsees, all will demand their share on Indian land. Whereas the Indian government is incapable of its own rule, India will face the worst time in History", On this Jaswant Singh argued that we would accept our fate, but the British must leave India.
"Have you seen those lizards in the Garden?" The ones that change color; Cameleon, we Parsees are a little bit like that".
Bunty Sethna tells her Daughter Lenny, to make her understand, how Parsees are different from other religious groups in India. They came to India from Persia 1300 years ago. Whatever the situation is, they survive between all. As on the time of partition of India, Parsees were neutral instead of taking any religious side.
"Holy man! telephone Allah and ask him, after the British divide India, What will happen to us?"
When Dil Nawaz was playing around in the costume of a saint. He pretended as if he could predict the future. A strange Sikh person asks him about the fate of India after the Britishers leave the country. Because as tensions were rising every day, every individual was scared of the harsh future, they smelt in the air.
"They break our Country into pieces and hand it to us and say, "Happy Independence."
When Jaswant Singh found his neighbors were leaving home, he visited Mrs. Rustom and told her about the tensions he was facing during the Hindu-Muslim riots. He understood that Independence is not a gift. It is coming on the cost of many innocent lives, and many of them have to leave their land.
"Muslim refugees, here want Revenge."
It was the time when Shanta's group friends were talking about the Muslims who survived and came from India to Lahore. They endured anguish living in India, and now wanted revenge from Hindus and Sikhs. Being a Muslim, Dil Nawaz had compassion for them and wanted to take revenge too, for her sisters.
