Topic: Dalit History Month 2021

It is really disturbing that how Bollywood portrayals of so called Privileged Upper Castes and the unrealistic appraisal by such journalists is indulged in widening the gap in society in the name of religion and caste.
The story track of GeeliPucchi, is nothing but shows the dark character of manipulative herds, irrespective of any caste.
Also, the unneeded hype in the story in the name of caste bears no resemblance with the real world.
No company hires a person based on his/her caste.
The darkness portrayed by the character of Bharti, cannot seek refuge under the garb of caste victim, because ultimately she played over the innocence of Priya.
This story widens the gap and breaks the trust.
But again, what can be expected from unneutral mindsets, who just believe in earning degree/money/name/fame by victimising the wrongs of the past.(dat too, which I don’t believe in its entirety)

What about other kinds of diversity?

How many times the lead has been shown to be from Bihar/Jharkhand- despite having 20% of the population of the Hindi Heartland? Why the lead is always Punjabi?

If you start slicing and dicing, it will never end.

Furthermore, while no one denies that Dalits still face discrimination, it is absolutely rubbish to talk about jobs when they get a lion’s share of the most coveted jobs of all- the government jobs. The same set of SC ST families have been taking advantage of it generation after generation or multiple times- but no one bothers.

Wish there is a study in greater depth 9n the subject of Dalits. Nearly 75 years of reservations have not solved the problems. The real issue is their lack of money and access to education. The current reservation has created an elite within them who keep getting the benefits while others struggle. However, all the blame is sought to be at the door steps of the Brahmins who get no special favours constitutionally.
In Tamilnadu, the Dravidian movement , supported by the British, was essentially an anti Brahmin movement. Their only crime was that they did well academically and gained the benefits of modern education. This saw Tamil Brahmins move out and today the community has more people outside India than in India. Dalits continue to languish but other castes have become dominant. Stalin still campaigns on an anti Brahmin platform. Stalin and others have gained but the state has certainly lost
Unfortunately, we see shallow articles about a film and also a lot of articles lamenting the plight of the Dalits but no serious studies which factually study the root cause of the problem
