Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

[equanimus]

Come on, Plum, it's not all the same. I totally understand the reaction "oh but didn't we all know this already?" But there are two things here. One, even what we know, discussing it on such a platform is something remarkable. Visu's show has never done anything remotely close to discussing caste issues. It has always been about a totally different narrative -- poor family, uzhaippAl munnERudhal and so on. Secondly, the show actually brings forth specific issues that are also easily forgotten because it's our reality. For instance, the discussion on manual scavenging in this show. How do you see all this as same old same old? Even for the Tamil public sphere world which is generally more alert to such issues than other parts of India, this is something remarkable.
