Description:
This film contends the dominant perceptions of the economic and
spiritual heritage of Punjab. It does so through a people’s narrative
on the preservation and regeneration of its ‘little’ traditions, which
often appear seamlessly cultural and political.
Synopsis:
Travel to the heart of Punjab. Enter a world of Sufi shrines worshipped
and looked after by Dalits. Listen to B.S. Balli Qawwal Paslewale, the
first generation Dalit Qawwals born out of this tradition. Join a
fascinating dialogue with Lal Singh Dil—a radical poet, a Dalit,
converted to Islam. Meet the last living legend of the Gadar movement,
Baba Bhagat Singh Bilga, who contests the subversion of a common past,
while affirming a new consciousness among Dalits, within and beyond
Punjab. The interplay between the constituents of this mosaic brings to
light the triple marginalisation of Dalits--- amidst the agricultural
boom that is the modern Punjab, in the contesting ground of its ‘major’
religions, and in the intellectual construction of their 'syncretism'

Take the scissors away from the Censor Board- HT
Rakesh Sharma
Saturday, October 29, 2005
The Government ofindia thinks you are stupid, I am an imbecile, indeed
each person who steps into any cinema hall is an idiot. The Government
is deeply concerned about us, which is why it has appointed wise men to
take care of us. Collectively, they inhabit this space called the
Censor Board and toil day and night to keep us from plunging headlong
into a life of sin. Their boss is usually a retired or out of work
actor. He may have molested countless women on screen or she may have
gyrated in a sequined bikini, but they discover hitherto hidden
reserves of morality as soon as they are appointed to the Censor
Board... |
