Keywords: Bollywood, Sikh, Sikh Character, War, Drama, Crime, Biopic, Action, Diljit Dosanhj, Punjab Abstract Sikhs have been ordinarily spoken to in mainstream Hindi film either as courageous warriors or as classless rustics. In the patriot message in which the envisioned was an urban North Indian, Hindu male, Sikh characters were uprooted and made to give entertainment. Bollywood stars have donned the turban to turn Sikh cool, Sikhs view the representation of the community in Bollywood as demeaning and have attempted to revive the Punjabi film industry as an attempt at authentic self-representation. But with the passage of time the Bollywood makers experimented with the role and images of Sikh character. Sunny Deol's starrer movie Border and Gadar led a foundation of Sikh identity and real image of Sikh community and open the doors for others. This paper examines representation of Sikhs in new Bollywood films to inquire if the romanticization of Sikhs as representing rustic authenticity is a clever marketing tactic used by the Bollywood. Introduction Bollywood is the sobriquet for India's Hindi language film industry, situated in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is all the more officially alluded to as Hindi film. The expression "Bollywood" is frequently utilized by non-Indians as a synecdoche to allude to the entire of Indian film; be that as it may, Bollywood legitimate is just a piece of the bigger Indian film industry, which incorporates other creation communities delivering films in numerous other Indian dialects.

  • Building Life-Affirming Communities: Face to Face with the Many Poor and the Many Faiths in Asia Manual Scavengers in India
    Building Life-affirming Communities: Face To Face with the many poor and the many faiths in Asia Manual Scavengers in India Why should other people remove another people’s shit? -Bezwada Wilson Introduction Manual scavenging is a lifting and removal of human excreta in India. There are two ways of doing scavenging. Firstly, it is trough dry toilets, where human excreta is left on a stone, plate, mud, or in a bucket. The scavengers must remove the excreta to a place of disposal. Secondly, scavengers must clean sewage pits, both in private homes and in cities. While private pits are cleaned under cover of darkness, it is a common sight to find men opening manholes to go down and manually clean sewers. However, manual scavenging was banned by a formal Act of parliament in 1993. This paper focuses on the abuse and discrimination of the so-called Dalits. It raises the awareness of human rights and the respect of the Imago Dei in the so-called ‘Dalits’ people, if one look at them must see God in their lives. The paper will use Bezwada Wilson’s oral lecture presented in March 2019 in Delhi, India on the manual scavenging dilemma faced by the Dalits. Who are the Scavengers? Scavengers are the people of low-caste, the so-called ‘Dalits’ in particular. According to Hindi social hierarchy they are untouchables. Of course, manual scavenging and untouchability is a caste discrimination. The Dalits are forced to have least desirable occupations such as cleaning, sweeping, leatherwork, removal of human excreta, removal of human and cattle corpses etc.

  • “Everyone Has Been Silenced”; Police
    EVERYONE HAS BEEN SILENCED Police Excesses Against Anti-CAA Protesters In Uttar Pradesh, And The Post-violence Reprisal Citizens Against Hate Citizens against Hate (CAH) is a Delhi-based collective of individuals and groups committed to a democratic, secular and caring India. It is an open collective, with members drawn from a wide range of backgrounds who are concerned about the growing hold of exclusionary tendencies in society, and the weakening of rule of law and justice institutions. CAH was formed in 2017, in response to the rising trend of hate mobilisation and crimes, specifically the surge in cases of lynching and vigilante violence, to document violations, provide victim support and engage with institutions for improved justice and policy reforms. From 2018, CAH has also been working with those affected by NRC process in Assam, documenting exclusions, building local networks, and providing practical help to victims in making claims to rights. Throughout, we have also worked on other forms of violations – hate speech, sexual violence and state violence, among others in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and beyond. Our approach to addressing the justice challenge facing particularly vulnerable communities is through research, outreach and advocacy; and to provide practical help to survivors in their struggles, also nurturing them to become agents of change. This citizens’ report on police excesses against anti-CAA protesters in Uttar Pradesh is the joint effort of a team of CAH made up of human rights experts, defenders and lawyers. Members of the research, writing and advocacy team included (in alphabetical order) Abhimanyu Suresh, Adeela Firdous, Aiman Khan, Anshu Kapoor, Devika Prasad, Fawaz Shaheen, Ghazala Jamil, Mohammad Ghufran, Guneet Ahuja, Mangla Verma, Misbah Reshi, Nidhi Suresh, Parijata Banerjee, Rehan Khan, Sajjad Hassan, Salim Ansari, Sharib Ali, Sneha Chandna, Talha Rahman and Vipul Kumar.
