Why should Pa Ranjith fight against 'Hindutva state' or the right-wing? As a Dalit he has enough battles to fight, and he will choose his battles against his oppressors. He will fight them in the way he deems it appropriate. Mere existence of a Dalit itself is a daily battle.

Pathetic justification after getting exposed. The story is specifically about how climate change significantly affects a marginalised community who toil under sun. Their caste position forces them to work under such cruel conditions. Cant believe she just did a 'All lives matter'

If you're sitting comfortably in one agraharam, surely you will romanticise rural India and gloss over the caste crimes, just because they mostly don't find their way to newspapers. Villages are the cesspool of casteism. Don't know what "roots" he's talking about, but +
Rural India, despite so much poverty, offers a sense of belonging and rootedness. The result is low crime.
The reason is traditional religious faith.
Even as we lift ourselves up economically, I want to nurture the roots of our culture and the faith that sustains life. 🙏
