RESILIENT RHYTHMS A Dalit Story

Dir. Gopal Menon/ DV/64 min./ Tamil/Telugu/Hindi/Kannada/Bhojpuri with      English Subtitles/2002 

India’s caste system is perhaps the world’s longest surviving social hierarchy. It places nearly 160 million people - the Dalits - at the outskirts of society, exploiting their services, especially to perform all “polluting” tasks, from cutting the umbilical cord, to disposing night-soil, to tending cremation grounds, while denying them acceptance even as human beings. The film documents the various atrocities that are committed on people simply because of their caste and shows how Dalits are fighting back.

Resilient Rhythms is the first comprehensive film on the dalit issue attempted in India and deals with a range of dalit responses, from armed struggle to electoral politics.
