Several cultural activists are arrested with impunity in India, never to see the light of day again. Jiten Maranda, one such cultural activist dedicated to the welfare of his own people through cultural awakening, had suffered the same fate for many days before he was finally released, being acquitted of charges which were never proven with due process.
Here is Anand Patwardhan’s latest documentary which features the lives of the marginalized and those struggling for their rights from among and outside their communities. Also how the inhuman and repressive state machinery bears down upon them. This documentary was screened at Jadavpur University, Kolkata on 8th of April.
