About this video
"Shudra -- The Rising?" Movie is produced and directed by Sanjiv Jaiswal and movie will be of 120minutes. Movie is based on story of 250million people born as untouchables (and today's Dalits) in Hindu caste system and subjected to humiliation and slavery since ancient times. When aryans came to India with the intention of looting, they enslaved the peace loving natives. Manu -- Hindu guru -- imposed laws on untouchables and barred them from reading, writing and listening holy mantras. Natives were treated less than human, impure, unclean and were forced to do menial jobs. In the movie you will see, Shudra denied water, (Dalits still fight for such rights) a Shudra child's nose chopped off for chanting mantras, (Dalits are still not allowed to enter many temples in India), a pregnant Shudra women forced to sleep with upper caste people (Dalit women still are raped on Day to day basis in India) and many more heart touching scenes -- the only crime of theirs -- they are born untouchables. Movie seems to be based on real events, if not real I bet, you might have heard such incidents once in a while in your life-time. It is believed that nature took ages to make man out of animal, but it took moments for certain men to make their fellow human animal again. "Shudra -- The Rising?" highlights the depth that evil human mind can succumb, to cling on to power and supremacy.
