Atal’s parents search for him. He is seen performing surya namaskar in a river and then tells his grandfather he measured depth of a river while bathing. Grandfather says it’s good for him. Krishna says he wants to take Atal for admission in a English school. Awadh says if Krishna had admitted him in English school. Krishna scolds him.

Krishna confronts his father for taking Atal for a river bath while he is waiting to take Atal for English school admission. Father says it was necessary to teach their sanskriti to Atal. Father says it was good for his generation, now Atal should learn English. He asks Atal to get ready soon. Atal questions his mother if grandfather is wrong. Mother says grandfather is also right and they should never forget their culture. Atal promises to never forget their culture even while he is studying English. Krishna takes Atal towards English school on his cycle. Atal watches freedom fighters protesting against Bhagat Singh death penalty and asks who is Bhagat Singh and why are they chanting slogans. Krishna asks him not to pay attention to them and concentrate on his studies.

Krishna asks Atal to attend the test and informs that he is a Hindi teacher here. A boy wearing tika/verimion on his forehead walks towards test room. Principal stops him and says he can’t enter test room with a tika/vermilion dot on his head and asks him to wipe it off. Boy stands afraid. Principal tries to wipe it off. Atal stops him and says just like Britishers wear shirt, pant, coat, and hat, Indians wear tika, dhoti, and kurta; everyone has their own faith and they should be allowed to follow it freely; wiping tika is wiping off this boy’s faith, so he shouldn’t do that.
Precap: Atal watches Britishers punishing freedom fighters and asks his grandmother why is this all happening. Grandmother says this is what happens when one supports Bhagat Singh. Atal asks who is Bhagat Singh. Bhagat is given a death sentence. His supporters plan to stop his death sentence.
