SUMMARY:Jai Bhim Comrade: Film Screening and Conversation with Anand Patwardhan\, India's Leading Documentary Filmmaker
DESCRIPTION:India China Institute and School of Media Studies at The New School invite you to a screening of the award-winning film\, Jai Bhim Comrade\,and a conversation with Anand Patwardhan. Nidhi Srinivas (Associate Professor of Nonprofit Management at Milano\, The New School) will chair a discussion following the event. Sumita Chakravarty (Associate Professor of Culture and Media\, The New School) and Toral Gajarawala (Assitant Professor of English at NYU\, and an expert on Dalit issues) will serve as discussants. \n\n\n\nAbout Jai Bhim Comrade \n\n\n\nFor thousands of years India’s Dalits were abhorred as “untouchables” denied education and treated as bonded labor. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo\, won doctorates abroad and fought for the emancipation of his people. He drafted India’s Constitution\, led his followers to discard Hinduism for Buddhism. His legend still spreads through poetry and song. \n\n\n\nIn 1997 a statue of Dr. Ambedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered\, police opened fire killing 10. Vilas Ghogre\, a leftist poet\, hung himself in protest. \n\n\n\nJai Bhim Comrade\, shot over 14 years\, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a subaltern tradition of reason that from the days of the Buddha\, has fought superstition and religious bigotry. \n\n\n\nReviews of the film are available on the film’s website. \n\n\n\nAnand PatwardhanAnand Patwardhan is India’s leading documentary filmmaker. For over four decades his investigative documentaries have charted life in modern India\, from the nature of its economic development to the power of nationalism and religious fundamentalism\, and the struggles by the poor and the marginalized for justice. It has taken legal action\, including a decision by India’s Supreme Court\, to prevent successive Indian governments from censoring his films and blocking them from being screened.
