Just a quick post.

I was watching Swades a little while ago on TV and had to get this thought out in the open. The realism of the movie is also this country’s greatest tragedy . Swades needed a Mohan Bhargava, a Brahmin scientist, to bring about social change in the village. Had he been of a lesser social standing (read Caste), no one in the village would’ve given a damn. Even today, “well educated” friends of mine, from premier institutes, will not dare cross the caste lines, esp. when it comes to marriage.

Though the movie is all about hope, do we have any? Leave your comments below.
