Dalit representation in Hindi Cinema and the Quest for a Dalit Protagonist

by Sunil Kumar countercurrents.org/2025/09/dalit-…

Hindi film industry also known as Bollywood churns out hundreds of films every year and generates revenue of more than US$500 million every financial year. This makes it a fledgling employer of artists and workers of multiple shades. However, it struggles to showcase and effectively engage with the plight of Dalits in Indian society and has failed to produce a Dalit protagonist worthy of emulation and as someone whose onscreen avatar not only propels the Dalit representation in cinema but also makes the Hindi film industry more democratic. The efforts thus far have stopped short of tapping Dalit talent to its fullest and Dalit voices are often lost in the cacophony of mainstream f ilms.

[Sri Aurobindo's epic poem Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol is often compared to Goethe's Faust due to shared themes of a human soul's journey through spiritual realms and a struggle with death and fate. While Faust explores the human experience through rationalism and faith, Savitri contrasts rationalism with a higher, spiritual reality. Both works feature a protagonist who travels to the otherworld and returns, but in Savitri, the struggle is not just a personal one but a cosmic one for the evolution of humanity.] - GoogleAI 

I'm familiar with Goethe as Sisir Kumar Maitra had compared his Faust with Savitri. His ideas on evolution also have been discussed elsewhere. Just read about his autobiographical novel The Sorrows of Young Werther which was quite influential worldwide. Thanks to @GirishDttShukla

Learnt about The Journey to the West which seems be dealing with inner journey like Savitri. I don't know if anyone has done such a comparison. Prema Nandakumar's A Study of Savitri was my favourite which concentrates on Western sources. Need to take Sri Aurobindo to the East too!

Amod Lele's essay on Nāgārjuna tells how the latter warned about the possible danger of emptiness (śūnyatā). The same also applies to Integral yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo if the practice aspect is overemphasised by neglecting devotion and surrender.
