THE CASTE CLIMBER
29 January 2021
This is an excellent, fun yet stunningly tragic, insight into the caste system in India. For anyone never having visited India, they would think this complete fantasy. Yet. It is incredibly real. India is an extraordinary chasm between the haves and the have nots. Don't be fooled thinking it is about wealth and poverty. It is about being a person or a slave. The majority of Indians' lives are destined to be less than human. Slaves.

This little gem of a movie covers the tragedy through the eyes of a country "mouse". A lovely villager, played superbly by Adash Gourav. A truly memorable performance.

This is a memorable movie and I highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in India.
