Broker (2022)

Director- Hirokazu Kore-eda

#broker #brokermovie ImageImageImageImage
Within a fairly complex plot exists a simple story about complex flawed characters just trying to understand and help each other. ImageImage
Kore-eda (Director), in almost all of his movies explore the philosophy "What is a family?" Image
He also explores the fact that "One wrong decision doesn't define who you are, if the decision was taken in ignorance or because of your complex situation" Image
It is definitely not one of his (Director's) best work. But it is one of my favourite this year. ImageImageImageImage

Today marks the 97th anniversary of the historic Mahad Satyagraha.

Here's a thread discussing this revolutionary non-violent protest, which was a significant milestone in the fight for social justice, dignity and equality for Dalits. 🧵 Image
On August 4, 1923, SK Bole, a social reformer, proposed a resolution in the Bombay Legislative Council. The resolution stated: Image
The Bombay government reluctantly instructed all department heads on September 11, 1923 to implement it by 19th September 1923.

An in-depth analysis of the film "Fandry" directed by @Nagrajmanjule. 🧵 Image
Family of Jabya ( Dalit) lives on the outskirts of a village. To make ends meet, the family chases away pigs and also kills them to prevent them from creating nuisance in the village—a task assigned to the Dalit family since upper-caste families consider it unhygienic & impure. Image
The young Jabya, however, remains disillusioned by the situation and develops feelings for an upper-caste girl, Shalu, who attends the same school.

This article is the result of a lack of equal representation in the media when it's predominantly controlled by upper castes.

I'm baffled about how this article passed editorial scrutiny, likely due to the overrepresentation of upper castes.

A Thread 🧵
It reads like the worst WhatsApp University propaganda, even for a reputed newspaper.

The entire article is just plain foolish. Nevertheless, I'll highlight some crucial points that are utterly absurd.

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 '𝗗𝗿. 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗸𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀.'

We, as Dalits, are exhausted from repeatedly debunking this misinformation. It seems like the truth is often overlooked.

The 10-year limit was specifically for political reservation, a point Dr. Ambedkar never advocated. In fact, he opposed a fixed 10-year timeframe, even for political reservations for SCs.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 🧵 :

- Anti-caste doesn't mean we can't speak on caste, it's the opposite.

- Dalits continue to experience atrocities and discrimination; it's not a thing of the past.
- Anti-caste doesn't imply refraining from availing Reservations; in fact, Reservations serve as a remedy for caste disparities.

- Being Dalit doesn't mean you have to be poor. However, many still struggle financially because oppressor castes control resources.
- Reservation is for Representation, not for poverty alleviation. Economic advancements are ancillary gains.

- Dalits can ride a car, wear costly clothes, and become the president of India, but would still face discrimination for being a Dalit.

Before you celebrate, read these excerpts from 'The Hindu View of Life' by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. His casteist beliefs are clear.

Celebrating his birthday as Teacher's Day? It's time to wake up! 😡

#TeachersDay #SarvepalliRadhakrishnan Image
He aggressively promoted his flawed philosophy relying on unfounded assumptions and fallacies.
#WorkersRights
#SarvepalliRadhakrishnan Image
The portrayal of the 4th caste (Shudra) in his book 'Eastern Religions & Western Thoughts' is highly offensive & unapologetically casteist.

The way these people use class & caste interchangeably is deeply problematic.
