Description

Bahujan spectatorship relates to an oppositional gaze and a political strategy of Bahujans to reject the Brahminical representation of caste and marginalised communities in Indian cinema. It is also an inverted methodology to document a different sociopolitical Bahujan experience of consuming popular cinema. Jyoti Nisha ([email protected]) is a writer, director, and producer. She directed wellknown documentary film "B R Ambedkar—Now and Then."
