Dear friends
whenever i have been reading the reports on night vigil especially by
Kairali Im always reminded of this quote (forgot who wrote it) "the
camera is the penis" in this whole episode of the reporting process.
Ive always felt that Kairali and Cpi(m) assumes this luxury of
watching or taking films of the support groups in the logic of taking
up a pornographic movie where all the actors inside the frames are to
be "sex workers" and I find the crew (irrespective of wo/ men) feels
some sort of a masturbation effect. I very feel strongly that this
"yukthi"/ logic simply comes out that these saamskaarika extras are
supporting a Dalit struggle. This reductionist logic is very much to
be scrutinised in my opinion.
Agree to the positions by ranju, dileep and sanjeev
