This companion is the first study of caste and its representation
in Indian cinema. It unravels the multiple layers of caste that
feature directly and indirectly in Indian movies, to examine not
only the many ways caste pervades Indian society and culture but
also how the struggle against it adopts multiple strategies. The
companion: • Critiques Indian cinema production through the lens
of anti-caste discourse; • Traces the history of films beginning
from the early twentieth century, focusing on caste representations
across India, including Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi,
Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil as well as silent films; • Makes a foray
into OTT media; • Includes analysis of popular films such as
Padmaavat, Masaan, Fandry, Sairat, Sujata, Article 15, Chomana
Dudi, Lagaan, Court, Ee.Ma.Yau, Kaala, Pariyerum Perumal,
Perariyathavar, among many others, to critique and problematise the
idea of caste. A major intervention, this book alters traditional
approaches to ‘caste’ in Indian cinemas and society and
explores new political strategies implemented through cinematic
creation and aesthetics. It will be indispensable for scholars and
researchers of film studies, social discrimination and exclusion
studies, human rights, popular culture, and South Asian studies. It
will also be of interest to enthusiasts of Indian cinematic
history.
