Sanghis scream *propaganda* when a Dalit character replaces a real-life Baniya in a show that is 50% fiction.
But when Modi and Dhar paint demonetisation as a masterstroke, they plead with critics to see it 'as a film'.

So, Prime Video made a series inspired by Ranga and Billa the infamous killers and kidnappers called Raakh. In this series the chief investigator played by Ali Fazal is shown as a Dalit whose father is a retired hawaldar who faced caste discrimination. Ali Fazal's character keeps photos of Ambedkar and Phule in his house. His main assistant officer is a Muslim but the lazy hawaldar is a Brahmin and the honest journalist is a Muslim woman.
But in the real life case the chief investigator was VP Gupta his assistant was Ram Chander and the Police Commissioner was JN Chaturvedi.
I have nothing against showing caste oppression through cinema but my problem is with propaganda. Prime Video India is a serial offender in this regard..they often make such series and completely twist real life characters. I have no issue with Dalit or Muslim police officers but why show an unnecessary oppression angle when it's not required especially in a series based on true events?

What do you mean a political party that spent three general and countless state elections asking for votes in the name of national security, can't even prevent being intimidated by a foreign diplomat in India, AFTER they killed Indian nationals?

The 8pm diktats from Supreme Leader only apply to the poor and helpless. He, his colleagues and the super influential (and their next generations) will keep pillaging this country's resources and the planet at large. #ElonMuskIsATrillionaire

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.

In a time when cop procedurals are available at wholesale rates, enjoyed Raakh's cautious and studious style.

First in my bloodline to see Sridhar Raghavan brought to a point, where he has to write a line like: "Duniya mein sirf do tarah ke log hove hai: Wolf aur Sheep."

I think the Trump administration knows that this govt will do anything to survive, agree to nearly anything as long as it benefits their cronies, and as a result keeps them in power for longer. And they're squeezing hard.

I am convinced that BJP is a CIA deep state asset and India no longer holds any self-respect. Sooner you realise, the better it is.

Where are the blood-thirsty nationalists, who come out when the perpetrator is Pakistan and then beat their chest that it has nothing to do with their Islamophobia?

How is it not a bigger deal that US strikes have claimed 3 Indian lives? How's there no reciprocation at all? Or even an outrage by so many who claim to be nationalists? Where's our spine gone really?
