What a year 2021 has turned out to be for anti-caste cinema in India. Karnan’s drama begins where Fandry’s ends. This boy is reminiscent of a Dalit Jabya, from Nagraj Manjule’s classic Fandry (2013), who also launches a resistive stone at the oppressive ‘upper caste’ mob at the end of the movie. What starts after that incident is the fight against injustice. In Mari Selvaraj’s 2021 film Karnan, a little Dalit boy furiously throws a stone at a bus for never stopping at his Dalit locality as part of an age-old ‘social boycott’, even for women in labour.
