Narrator:
When faced with death, the general belief is that when a man dies, his life doesn't end, because he's reincarnated in another. But no one knows in whom. Therefore, all men are brothers.

Narrator:
[Looking at a monument erected to honor the workers who died during the construction of the Hirakud Dam] 175 dead... But before, with all the floods, if we'd had to build a monument for the victims, we'd have needed one as long as this dam to engrave all the names.
