I am a small entrepreneur in a small town. I don’t know if it was because I did my studies from Metro Cities or it was in my blood, but I have been hating the way so called upper class, even the people of my caste have been looking at and talking to the people who have been categorised as of Lower Caste in India. My Brahmin employees think of themselves not less than an envoy of God when they are dealing with them. When I matured.. I intentionally gave Extra Respect to the people of so called Lower Caste just to make them (my employees) believe that no one on this Earth is different from another just for the sake of where that person is born and how sound he/she financially is.
I know people in Big Cities do not have a clear idea but casteism does still prevail in small towns and villages. I believe it’s only us, who have to make our coming generation learn that humans must treat each other the way Mother Nature had made us.. EAQUAL.
I could relate myself with Ayushan when I’m movie he got irritated by his officers over detailed explanations about different categories of castes. I am really Thankful to the Director for making a movie on this topic but India still has to go a long way beyond these shallow cultures still prevailing.
But I am never HOPEless. I am waiting.
Removing the caste angle, it was a decent murder thriller. Once the caste angle is on it became just another Brahmin saves the day story, where the Dalit still has to go down the sewer, the soovar taal has no pigs in there and the oppressed can only be helped by someone higher up in the cast ladder, rather than organising and helping themselves. The film reinforces age old ideas of oppression in subconscious ways into the audience, rather than showing a silver lining of change. Well if it was truly revolutionary a film it would not have released in today’s India.
