Film Title

Sadgati (Salvation, Deliverance), 1981, India, Hindi

Scene Description The repudiation of Dukhi's simple expectation provides the basis for the film's drama, which consists in the tension between the untouchable's need and the extent of the Brahman's disposition to satisfy it. This tension evolves out of the interaction between the chamar and the brahman and is conditioned by the definitive and emphatic contrast between the two men, a contrast carved by tradition into the granite of the Hindu caste system. _x000d_ In this scene, Dukhi lists the items that Jhuria should procure from the grocer's.
