Sugni fights back telling all thakurs she did not insult anyone but tried to earn a living in a honest way and how can doing a bajjan be wrong.Other Thakurs try to instigate TJS that we have been insulted. Other Bednis also try to tell guabiya to stop Sugni TVS tries to stop them but all close his mouth saying you have just come from the city and so he does not understand the customs of the village. Sugni fights back about the repressive customs under which Bednis are exploited and also Thakur’s wives have to bear the burnt and bednis have to live in very poor conditions where only their minimum needs are taken care of. Rai dance which was supposed to be performed in temples in front of Gods has made the women reach the houses of Thakurs. TVS is very impressed with all this talk of Sugni but he also cannot do much with this system and he is easily made to keep quiet by all Thakurs . Sugni looks with expectation at him when he tries to support her
Finally TJS does not let TVS interfere telling him that he has not finished what he has to say and tells Sugni and Gulabiya that the whole family will have to face the panchayat for insulting Thakurs .Amrita is recording a video of all that is happening. All Sugni’s family are stunned and scared and when they try to ask pardon he says the whole family will suffer and they have to come to the panchayat the next day. Then even when Hukum mama is trying to ask pardon and fall at AT TJS feet HE DOES NOT relent and all make it a prestige issue as a bedni has chanllenged him , when TVS tries to stop them then they tell him he may not come to the panchayat if he does not feel insulted all thakurs leave and as TVS looks he finds TJS wife happy at the turn of events and he watches with pity and sadly at Sugni and her family ,he and his family also leave and all people leave .
Hukum runs away and all family also follow him as they fear he may do something He goes home locks the door and tries to commit suicide All try and break up the door but he does not remove the noose from his neck then Naganiya gives him a oath on her and his daughter Tinkle that stops him . And as he is scared of the repercussions of Panchayat his eyes fall on Sugni and says look at her she is the cause of everything and still no repentance (she is definitely a chip of the old block as she has the is TJS and Gulabiya’s daughter with lots of guts and ego she will not bend not like his spineless and debaunch son who inherited the worst qualities of his father) he then pulls her and says lets take her to TJS and she can fall on his feet and ask pardon so that all can escape(always hiding behind a women first the sister now her daughter and maybe tomorrow his daughter grrr) he catches hold of her and drags her outside to take her when Gulabiya tries to stop him he pushes her and she falls down. She sees a sickle and she picks it up and says stop and threatens him.(must see scene) He is stunned and says why did she bring him up to see this day and when he will die he will complain to his mother emotionally blackmailing his sister. Gulabiya again feels bad and when Hukum goes on saying what will happen she says she will go and beg TJS to pardon them
PRECAP Gulabiya is begging TJS and his wife to pardon them and telling his wife you are also a mother. TJS scold her don’t dare to say she has a right to be a mother as she is my wife but you don’t have that right to have a child.
