Jai Bhim comrade
Anand Patwardhan (Producer, Director), Vilas Ghogre (Composer, Performer)
"For thousands of years India's dalits were abhorred as 'untouchables' and denied education. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo, won doctorates abroad and fought for the emancipation of his people. ... In 1997 a statue of Dr. Amdedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered, police opened fire killing 10. Vilas Ghorge, a leftist poet, hung himself in protest. 'Jai Bhim Comrade' shot over 14 years, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a subaltern tradition of reason that has, from the days of the Buddha, fought superstition and religious bigotry."--Container
