went upto 75 thousand and the dacoits came down to 2 lakhs.
One night the dacoits got frightened. Police lights were visible at a far off distance. But how could the police trace these dacoits in this horribly unknown Chambal valley? Dialogue started again. The dialogue stopped at one lakh, which one to us, Rajendra offered to bring. But this went flop. On the 6th night a dacoit came. He was a graduate. He said : "Don't you go so cheap? Get me the addresses of these persons. I inquire straight from Bombay and inform you." But this was in vain.
On one letter they had got written, our signatures were taken. We were made forcibly to write : "Let the police-watch be lifted. Otherwise we will not be free. For the sake of our safety, please try to get the police-watch lifted."
That graduate had not turned up and we could not send Rajendra. Again, in no time, we were in the deep precipice of the river Jumna. There was to be no fear for two days. The dacoits heaved a sigh of relief.
We had another dialogue. The time-limit was too short. He must go to Bombay said Rajendra if our parents have left. The final bargain was for one lakh. It was decided that on the 12th Rajendra should bring the amount and come to Kamatari-Chandrapur.
We now entertained a hope of getting free, again in one lakh. This we felt was due to our deep faith in our god and due to the invisible hand of the Navakara.
We were fed on the 8th day by the Sardar. He gave a hundred rupees and some loose change. There was mutual oath-taking. The Thakur took the oath to free us
