Sab Lila Hai

About 20 kms from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh are two villages - Rudahi where mainly Hindus live and Bargadi, where predominantly Muslims live. Thousands have been killed in the name of Ram and Allah in India, but for the past 38 years, against all odds, the Hindus and Muslims of the these villages have together staged the annual Ram Lila, an epic depicting the life of the Hindu god, Ram, in which all the main roles like Ram, Laxman and Ravana are played by Muslims. Till December 2009, the Sarpanch (village head) of Rudahi was in charge of the Ram Lila Committee and depending on his political allegiance, members of that party ruled supreme. After that, however, the political tide changed. Rudahi and 13 neighbouring villages were clubbed together to form Bakhshi Ka Talab Town Area. A new administration, a new minister, a new committee... and so starts the wrangling over who will organise the Ram Lila. As the two political rivals fight it out to wrench control over the electorate, many questions arise. What direction will the Ramlila take? Will the two committees be able to put aside their differences and preserve the tradition of the area? And biggest of all, what will happen to the local Muslim actors?

Scavenging Dreams

The film takes a look at the lives of rag pickers and waste dealers in Delhi. It’s a world which thrives on the waste that the city generates. This is big business and it largely depends on the thousands of children working as rag pickers. The film is about them and their dreams and the dreams of a city somewhere gone haywire.

School Solution

400 million people in India are said to be illiterate, most of them in rural India. That’s more than the population of the United States. However, as a new generation of rural children look to shape tomorrow’s India - in Kashmir and Chhattisgarh, they are locked in daunting crucibles of political strife. In the firing line from both sides of the conflict, government schools in these states have everything to lose; but highlighting the way forward I found a few girls who showed me how much people still value government schooling.
