Caste Pride - Book Discussion on Manoj Mitta's book with Manoj Mitta, Sujatha Surepally, Subhashini Ali Shepard, Mohan Guruswamy, moderated by Amirullah Khan

Manoj Mitta's book examines the endurance and violence of the Hindu caste system through the lens of the law. Linking two centuries of legal reform with social movements, he unearths the characters, speeches, confusions and decisions that have shaped the war on caste.

Describing brilliantly the passage of Hinduism into its modern avatar, the book celebrates women and men across the caste spectrum—pioneers Savitribai Phule, M.C. Rajah, R. Veerian, B.R. Ambedkar, Periyar, Vithalbhai Patel and others—and outside of the caste system, such as non-Hindu legislators and administrators, including Maneckji Dadabhoy, William Bentinck and Lord Willingdon. It re-examines the positions of leading lights such as Motilal Nehru, Thomas Munro, Mahatma Gandhi and C. Rajagopalachari, and shows why caste prejudice cleaves to names like Madan Mohan Malviya and Surendra Nath Banerjea.

Through these histories of reform, Mitta establishes that untouchability is merely the best-known aspect of varna, an elusive purity-based hierarchy that affects the freedoms of all. With ground-breaking discoveries and incisive insight, Caste Pride is at once moving, enlightening and transformative.

A Winter that Burned Delhi
Sun Jul 9, 7:00 PM
Rahul Milind
'A Winter that Burned Delhi: Silent Screams and Broken Promises of 1984' is a documentary film shot and directed by Rahul Milind, an undergraduate from Krea University. Taking an ethnographic approach, it looks into the tumultuous events of 1984 - Operation Blue Star in Punjab and the subsequent Anti-Sikh riots in Delhi; and how these events have gone on to shape the reality of being Sikh in India for decades. Looking at how these events are remembered today in memory, especially by those who have not lived the experience first-hand and have only heard stories about it growing up - the post-1984 younger generations, and their understanding and perception of not just the same, but also the larger Sikh identity, the film interlinks themes such as state violence against minorities, generational trauma, and identity formation, and was completed under the advisory of Dr. Ramachandra Guha and Dr. Prithvi Datta Chandra Sobhi.

Celebrating Wong Kar-wai
Wed Jul 12, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan
As the monsoon is set in the city, the much-needed respite from the hot weather conditions, let's dedicate July to Wong Kar-wai films as he also celebrates his birthday this month.

About Wong Kar-wai: Wong Kar-wai (born 17 July 1958) is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, and producer. His films are characterized by nonlinear narratives, atmospheric music, and vivid cinematography involving bold, saturated colors. A pivotal figure of Hong Kong cinema, Wong is considered a contemporary auteur and ranks third on Sight & Sound's 2002 poll of the greatest filmmakers of the previous 25 years. His films frequently appear on best-of lists domestically and internationally.

Born in Shanghai, Wong emigrated to British Hong Kong as a child with his family. He began a career as a screenwriter for soap operas before transitioning to directing with his debut, the crime drama As Tears Go By (1988). While As Tears Go By was pretty successful in Hong Kong, Wong moved away from the contemporary trend of crime and action movies to embark on more personal filmmaking styles. Days of Being Wild (1990), his first venture in such a direction, did not perform well at the box office. It, however, received critical acclaim and won Best Film and Best Director at the 1991 Hong Kong Film Awards. His next film, Ashes of Time (1994), met with a mixed reception because of its vague plot and atypical take on the wuxia genre.

Film Title: | HAPPY TOGETHER | 1997 | 96 minutes |Cantonese & Spanish Language subtitled in English

About the Film: Happy Together is a 1997 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed by Wong Kar-wai starring Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-wai, depicting their turbulent romance. The English title is inspired by the Turtles' 1967 song of the same name, which Danny Chung covers on the film's soundtrack. The Chinese title (previously used for Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup) is an idiomatic expression suggesting "the exposure of something intimate"

The Great Dictator (1940)
Fri Jul 14, 7:00 PM
Hyderabad Cinephiles
Hyderabad Cinephiles is organizing a screening of Chaplin's The Great Dictator on 14th, July.

The Great Dictator is a 1940 American anti-war political satire black comedy film written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring British comedian Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. Having been the only Hollywood filmmaker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, Chaplin made this his first true sound film.

Chaplin's film advanced a stirring condemnation of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, fascism, antisemitism, and the Nazis. At the time of its first release, the United States was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany and neutral during what were the early days of World War II. Chaplin plays both leading roles: a ruthless fascist dictator and a persecuted Jewish barber.

Chaplin's climactic monologue has frequently been listed by critics, historians and film buffs as perhaps the greatest monologue in film history, and possibly the most poignant recorded speech of the 20th century.

The screening will be followed by a discussion.

Entry is Free.

ORAY
Thu Jul 20, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan and Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad

During a dispute with his wife Burcu, Oray pronounces the Islamic divorce formula "talaq". The imam explains the consequences to him: Oray has to part with Burcu for three months. Oray uses the relationship break imposed on them to make a new start and moves to Cologne. Here he finds a job at a flea market and looks for a new community led by the young Imam Bilal. Oray soon begins preaching himself and is particularly popular with young parishioners, which arouses envy in Bilal. When Burcu pays her husband a surprise visit, they realize that the break has done them good. They still love each other. So he asks Bilal for advice. But he represents a stricter interpretation of Islamic law than the imam in his home community:

In an almost documentary style, director Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay tells how an individual works through the complex system of a religion and seeks human fulfillment between his belief in love and his love for faith.

Sahir: In Love with Being Human
Thu Jul 27, 6:00 PM
Lamakaan and Deepak Mahaan
LAMAKAAN LECTURE
Sahir: In Love with Being Human

An interactive, audio-visual talk about Humanism in Sahir Ludhianvi’s poetry

Humanism is inherent to Sahir’s romanticism. Even amongst severe tempests of the heart, Sahir does not succumb to carnal desires of the flesh but remains devoted to duty. Interspersed with moving film songs, the lecture illustrates how Sahir’s romantic poetry is distinctly different since it maintains dignity even in the throes of sensuality.

A diehard humanist, Deepak Mahaan is a pioneering radio, TV and film professional whose creations have won accolades and awards at major channels and film festivals. An ardent admirer of Urdu-Hindi poets & lyricists, the long-standing film columnist of “THE HINDU” also unravels that despite limitations of film stories and situations, Sahir always rendered exquisite poetry to inspire the finest virtues of the human heart.

Mahaan’s spontaneous lectures on the same topic have been highly applauded at prominent platforms like Progressive Writers’ Forum, University of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Sahitya Foundation and University of Fraser Valley, Canada as well as several film and art societies.

It is believed that God always keeps his word. He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. Do these statements have any truth in them? Let's find out by watching this hilarious play Nivedyam.

KUNDETI KOMMU
Kundeti Kommu revolves around a conflict between two villages Pedduru and Chinnuru which were once one. Owing to differences, two brothers Pedda Dora and Chinna Dora separate, which not only creates the division of this village but also plants seeds of vengeance in the hearts of these people. While a wanderer conversing with an educated urbanite, suddenly collapses exactly on the boundary line of the two villages. This triggers a conflict between the two villages on who shall take up the responsibility to perform the last rites of the dead person.

Celebrating Wong Kar-wai
Wed Jul 19, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan
As the monsoon is set in the city, the much-needed respite from the hot weather conditions, let's dedicate July to Wong Kar-wai films as he also celebrates his birthday this month.

About Wong Kar-wai: Wong Kar-wai (born 17 July 1958) is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, and producer. His films are characterized by nonlinear narratives, atmospheric music, and vivid cinematography involving bold, saturated colors. A pivotal figure of Hong Kong cinema, Wong is considered a contemporary auteur and ranks third on Sight & Sound's 2002 poll of the greatest filmmakers of the previous 25 years. His films frequently appear on best-of lists domestically and internationally.

Born in Shanghai, Wong emigrated to British Hong Kong as a child with his family. He began a career as a screenwriter for soap operas before transitioning to directing with his debut, the crime drama As Tears Go By (1988). While As Tears Go By was fairly successful in Hong Kong, Wong moved away from the contemporary trend of crime and action movies to embark on more personal filmmaking styles. Days of Being Wild (1990), his first venture in such a direction, did not perform well at the box office. It, however, received critical acclaim and won Best Film and Best Director at the 1991 Hong Kong Film Awards. His next film, Ashes of Time (1994), met with a mixed reception because of its vague plot and atypical take on the wuxia genre.

Film Title: IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE | 2000 | 98 minutes | Cantonese & Shanghainese Languages subtitled in English

About the film: In the Mood for Love (Chinese: 花樣年華; pinyin: Huāyàng niánhuá; lit. 'Golden Years') is a 2000 romantic drama film written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-Wai. A co-production between Hong Kong and France, it portrays a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) whose spouses have an affair together and who slowly develop feelings for each other. It forms the second part of an informal trilogy, alongside Days of Being Wild and 2046.

ORAY
Thu Jul 20, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan and Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad

During a dispute with his wife Burcu, Oray pronounces the Islamic divorce formula "talaq". The imam explains the consequences to him: Oray has to part with Burcu for three months. Oray uses the relationship break imposed on them to make a new start and moves to Cologne. Here he finds a job at a flea market and looks for a new community led by the young Imam Bilal. Oray soon begins preaching himself and is particularly popular with young parishioners, which arouses envy in Bilal. When Burcu pays her husband a surprise visit, they realize that the break has done them good. They still love each other. So he asks Bilal for advice. But he represents a stricter interpretation of Islamic law than the imam in his home community:

In an almost documentary style, director Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay tells how an individual works through the complex system of a religion and seeks human fulfillment between his belief in love and his love for faith.

Sahir: In Love with Being Human
Thu Jul 27, 6:00 PM
Lamakaan and Deepak Mahaan
LAMAKAAN LECTURE
Sahir: In Love with Being Human

An interactive, audio-visual talk about Humanism in Sahir Ludhianvi’s poetry

Humanism is inherent to Sahir’s romanticism. Even amongst severe tempests of the heart, Sahir does not succumb to carnal desires of the flesh but remains devoted to duty. Interspersed with moving film songs, the lecture illustrates how Sahir’s romantic poetry is distinctly different since it maintains dignity even in the throes of sensuality.

A diehard humanist, Deepak Mahaan is a pioneering radio, TV and film professional whose creations have won accolades and awards at major channels and film festivals. An ardent admirer of Urdu-Hindi poets & lyricists, the long-standing film columnist of “THE HINDU” also unravels that despite limitations of film stories and situations, Sahir always rendered exquisite poetry to inspire the finest virtues of the human heart.

Mahaan’s spontaneous lectures on the same topic have been highly applauded at prominent platforms like Progressive Writers’ Forum, University of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Sahitya Foundation and University of Fraser Valley, Canada as well as several film and art societies.

NIVEDYAM
It is believed that God always keeps his word. He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. Do these statements have any truth in them? Let's find out by watching this hilarious play Nivedyam.

KUNDETI KOMMU
Kundeti Kommu revolves around a conflict between two villages Pedduru and Chinnuru which were once one. Owing to differences, two brothers Pedda Dora and Chinna Dora separate, which not only creates the division of this village but also plants seeds of vengeance in the hearts of these people. While a wanderer conversing with an educated urbanite, suddenly collapses exactly on the boundary line of the two villages. This triggers a conflict between the two villages on who shall take up the responsibility to perform the last rites of the dead person.

This is a short film with a mix of shoot video and 3D animation. The title of the short film is "Vikramaditya weds pooja". This is a preview which still isn't released anywhere.
This is a story told to their kid about how their parents met for the first time and the kid keeps interrupting in between with his questions in a funny way and ends the story with a message. A decent story with some health comedy and some interesting love story.
