January night - MA1 photostory
Storyboard-Text
- It is said that the indian farmer is born in debt, lives in debt, and dies in debt, which is true in this case!
- Most farmers like Halku are very poor, so they normally can't pay the rent
- Have you got the rent?
- Most of the money is used to pay the rent, so there is very little money left to pay for their needs or debts
- I think we are running out of food again. How much money have we got?
- We only have very little left! I had to give most of them to the landlord!
- Before the British came, there were already a certain set of rules that governed about things like land lordship ....
- But when the British came, they introduced a system called the 'Zamnidari system' (land lordship system) which made moneylenders and tax collectors the main power, and poor people the victims
- If you don't get the rent soon, I will be forced to complain to a higher authority !!!
- In the story 'January Night' the hardships of the poor under the Zamnidari system are very present,as the whole story revolves around Halku's plight as a tenant farmer...
- .....As it also shows that Halku had to give away the three rupees he had carefully saved up to buy a blanket to the landlord.
- I've been saving up for so long, and now I am going to give it all away in one day!
