Aarakshan background

Aarakshan

A tense drama unfolds as a teacher's commitment to social justice clashes with his mentor's traditional values, set against the backdrop of a landmark court ruling in India that introduces caste-based quotas for educational institutions.

Right-winged political parties protest after the Supreme Court of India upholds a 27% reservation for Dalits and lower/backward castes. A college principal endorses the decision, sparking ire from trustees and a new vice-principal who has invested heavily in private coaching classes. The principal resigns, taking his family to live near a rural area after their home is taken over by the coaching classes.
