AXUM 255 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) NOTE: FOR ALL THOSE WHO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF UNTOUCHABLITY IN INDIA INDIA UNTOUCHED will make it impossible for anyone in India to deny that Untouchability is still practiced today. Director Stalin K. and his team spent four years traveling the length and breadth of India to bear witness to the continued exclusion and segregation of those considered as 'Untouchables' . The film introduces leading Benares scholars who interpret Hindu scriptures to mean that Dalits 'have no right' to education, and Rajput farmers who proudly proclaim that the police must seek their permission before pursuing cases of atrocities on Dalits. The film captures many 'firsts-on-film, ' such as Dalits being forced to dismount from their cycles and remove their shoes when in the upper caste part of the village. It exposes the continuation of caste practices and Untouchability in Sikhism, Christianity and Islam, amongst the Communists in Kerala and within some of India's most revered academic and professional institutions. In an age where the media projects only one image of a 'rising' or 'poised' India, this film reminds us how far the country is from being an equal society. Traveling through eight states and four religions, this film is perhaps the deepest exploration of caste oppression ever undertaken on film. Stalin K is a human rights activist and award-winning documentary filmmaker. He is the Co-Founder of DRISHTI- Media, Arts and Human Rights, Convener of the Community Radio Forum-India, and the India Director of Video Volunteers. He is a renowned public speaker and has lectured or taught at over 20 institutions ranging from the National Institute of Design and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in India, to New York University and Stanford and Berkeley in the US. INDIA UNTOUCHED is Stalin's second film on the issue of caste -- his earlier film 'Lesser Humans', on manual scavenging, won the Silver Conch at the Mumbai International Film Festival and the Excellence Award at Earth Vision Film Festival, Tokyo, and helped to bring international attention to the issue of caste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgDGmYdhZvU&feature=related Edited August 10, 2012 by AXUM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Axum, you are a typical yank who feels its their place to act as the world police force. Hence why we have so many wars at the moment. Look at the disgraceful actions of your government towards their own people before sticking your nose into other countries. How many Americans now are on food stamps? 50 million and counting? You also have 6 vacant homes to every homeless person, and we are not much better off. Let's worry about our own degradation of society before worrying about another country who's known nothing else. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
