A historical movie distorting history is not acceptable. The movie claims the caste system to be prevalent worldwide. The director has confused racism with cast ism. Cast ism, as created by cunning "Brahmins" is worst form of social system denying education, freedom of choosing employment, financial independence, expression of thoughts, dignity and self esteem to the people born in caste treated as lower. This aspect has been shown accurately. A film touching such an inflamed topic is expected to convey a social message. The title of the movie substantiated this expectation. But the director abruptly ended the movie after showing massacre of helpless people. "The rising" part of their struggle was censured, I guess. Dr Ambedkar, who relentlessly fought for the "shudras", was shown as compatriot of the people who perpetuated this caste system even after India's independence.
