Experiencing Interruptions?

FLAMES OF FREEDOM

A spontaneous uprising of the Shudras (Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs) against age-old Brahmanic-Feudal machinations still prevalent in full force with the sanctions of the ‘democratic’ Indian State… A sleepy, idyllic Indian village, Ichchapur in Odisha’s Kalahandi district, suddenly wakes up to take on the brutally oppressive Brahmanism that had enslaved the original inhabitants for nearly two centuries, after grabbing all the resources that once belonged to them. What began with a fight to retain their tiny cultural space (shrine of their deity) – the only identity they were left with – the Shudras of Ichchapur tuned the resistance into a powerful socio-political war against their oppressors. Something unimaginable and unprecedented to the world, the Shudras have ‘ostracized’ the Brahmins in the village resulting in complete collapse of the latter’s socio-economic dominance.
