Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you liked the article. 😄🙏

Almost all of these films are available on YouTube, including the movie on Jotiba Phule; if you don't find them, please let me know; I will share the link here.

I wrote a few articles exploring the lives of Mahatma Phule (including his lost library), Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad and Babasaheb. You can read them here https://www.roundtableindia.co.in/tag/dr-spva-sairam/.

Thank you once again.

Thank you for such a well researched article. I have a question, from a research perspective, any thoughts on how accurate Jabbar Patel’s movie is considered as a chronicle of Babasaheb’s life?

Dr. Spva Sairam's avatar

Thank you for your words of appreciation. Regarding the movie made by Jabbar Patel, I can say that around 70 percent of the movie is accurate. There were many inaccuracies with respect to a few issues like portrayal of Ramai, the scene of Gandhi-Nehru agreeing with each other to appoint Babasaheb as the chairman of Drafting committee and so on. I am writing a detailed article on this movie, I will share it here once it is done 😊

I think we underestimate how much art sharpens political clarity. Babasaheb seems to have understood that stories,and music don’t just reflect society, they teach people how to see themselves within it.

Thank you for the article! The reference [15.] in Google Doc (a YouTube video link) is not accessible. It says "This video is private".
