When they pleaded to drink water, the school peon (who belonged to the upper caste) poured water from a height for them to drink. Teachers would not touch their notebooks. However, he and his Dalit friends were not allowed to sit inside the class. Unlike most children of his caste, young Bhim attended school. His father served in the British Indian Army at the Mhow cantonment in the Central Provinces (now in Madhya Pradesh). Dr Ambedkar’s life and legacy, however, remains an inspiration for many who believe that caste hierarchy should cease to exist, and formation of an equal society is the way forward.īhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born into a Mahar (‘Untouchable’/ Dalit) family.

Seventy years since Dr Ambedkar, caste continues to remain a part of India’s social reality. B.R.Ambedkar was born into a poor low Mahar (dalit) caste, who were treated as untouchables and subjected to socio-economic discrimination.

I thought of it having more dynamism if there is a little bit of tension between Hippolyta and Diana versus the original story where they are very supportive of each other. A lot of the women that I have known have had similar relationships with their mothers. What I also wanted to talk about with Wonder Woman was the relationship that my sister and my mother had, which was two beautiful women who were very strong and very antagonistic. What interested me more was that rather than she went and the Amazons were happy for her to go and her mother wanted her to go to man’s world or even that she went to man’s world because she fell in love with Steve Trevor, I liked the idea that her mother didn’t want her to go. And that was quite a big part of the original, which was that she decided to go and help fight the war and obviously that doesn’t apply in the same way anymore. I thought the World War II origin really didn’t work anymore. On what sparks Diana going to “Man’s World”: ![]() ![]() ![]() We love original content and self-posts!
