This post was inspired by a twenty year old Tamil film that I saw snippets of today, titled ,"Indira". It portrayed a heroine who stands up for the lower caste in spite of being beaten, mauled and humiliated. Being the feel good flick that it was, Indira brings about a change of heart among those fo the next generation. A flood punishes the upper caste tyrants.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm............................
Twenty years later, newspapers still abound with stories of caste atrocities. Stories of discrimination that have gone unreported, unnoticed and unacknowledged are literally innumerable.
My daughter who watched the film with me said that it had potential for a sequel.
Lots of changes in the landscape and the landmarks here! But nothing much has changed for the lower castes. They are still undernourished, undeveloped and of course, as untouched as ever!
If someone wants to produce a sequel, he does not have to look far. Nothing much has changed here!
