Aarakshan background

Aarakshan

In India, a teacher's commitment to social justice is challenged as he confronts the aftermath of a landmark court ruling that transforms the way schools function, forcing him to reconcile his values with traditional norms.

Right-winged political parties protest after the Supreme Court of India maintains a 27% reservation for Dalits and lower/backward castes. A college principal endorses the decision, sparking ire among trustees and the newly appointed vice-principal, who has invested heavily in private coaching classes. The principal resigns and moves his family to a new home, leading to attempts to evict the coaching class staff and threats of arrest for vandalism and intimidation.
