Upcoming Movie: "Shudra – The Rising?"
Now you can watch this movie from here.
I believe till now everyone might have heard about the upcoming movie on Dalits of India, i.e. “Shudra – The Rising?” In case you have missed the news, here is the news! Movie is produced and directed by Sanjiv Jaiswal and movie will be of 120minutes. We all know we can’t express the pain and suffering of Dalits in 2hours movie but still I believe it’s an ideal runtime for a movie and it will be advantageous.
Movie: “Shudra- The Rising?” Poster
A bit of storyline:
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.
Recently, the “Shudra – The Rising?” team has received screening Invitation for “Shudra – The Rising?” from South Asian Film Festival which will take place June 13-17, 2012, in Vancouver, and in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
My best wishes to the team
I strongly believe that movies on social issues should be made and given more emphasis. Sanjiv Jaiswal has chosen an important issue of caste discrimination, which has ruined millions lives and hopes. After watching trailers of movie, I can say that it’s a sincere effort by the team to put forward the caravan of Dr Ambedkar. I wish the team a grand success!
P.S.: Movie is going to release in Feb. 2012 and you can visit the movie site at http://www.shudrathefilm.com for latest updates.

An excellent movie very courages effort by director jaiswall( information =dalits are atisudrs not sudras read dr babasaheb’s who are the sudras)dalits are outcaste they are not in varna system) according to bhramins even shivaji maharaj(kunbhi samaj),sambhaji maharaj,sahu maharaj were shudras.jiska upanayan vidhi nahi hua wo sare sudra hai accodimng to manusrmuti
First of all congratulation for releasing this movie titled ‘kshudra’ .there was no any film like this since begin of hindi cinema .but this is starting of new thinking of downtrodden of India that are called dalits . this is a matter of wonder why all the directors were ignoring this matter .today caste factor is one of the big problem in the development of country .So we salute you for a nice work for goodwill of dalits.
it is only begining ab hakikat samne aye h wait for parivertan
Great going!!!!
I see lot of Buddhist brothers posting which is quiet evident from their surnames. As ever this community of rebels is ready to rock India with or without other communities.
Keep going….even against our own Dalit Brother of other communities.
Jai Bhim
Today I saw this movie this fantastic movie drama & ply back music …….sanjay sir good work keep it up !
Shudra is 4th Varna not untouchables today,s OBC class is Shudra ,there is hell lot of difference between Shudra and Dalit,s whcih some consider 5th varna of untouchables .If the director don,t understand this elementary thing and he is going to make movie .God save him.Also 4 varna system is already described in Purish sukta chapter of Rig veda where it is said that it is not a birth base concept, every one is born a shudra, later on according to his Karmas he become a Brahmin Kshatriya etc.These so called Ambedkarites need themselves to educate further more.Next modern discoveries already proved that Aryan Invasion theory was a Biggest Myth , even Marxist historians like Romila Thapar acknowledge this now.Do not drum the beat which already is outdated.
Yes. The untouchables were called “panchama”, the fifth caste. The shudras were not these. Though they were not rich, but they were not poor either. The varna system recognizes shudras as different from Brahmin, Kshatriya or Vaishya. So all sub-castes except these three are Shudra.
I did not see the movi still.But i am happy bcos when s.iswal sending massege he was writing ” joi bhim” and i know except three varno(b,k,b) all are sudra.and peoples are getting education …so we wiil get our independent soon.
