Jai Bhim is not just a film but a reality show about
case. The film takes its inspiration from a true
story happened in 1995 in India.
Every citizen should be aware of the fact that the
fundamental rights are for every single human
being of the country.
It’s not a fight between low castes and high castes,
not even against the police officer but it’s a fight
against the entire system. Jai Bhim seeks a better
society, where human must have human rights.

Jai Bhim is based on a true incident of 1993: - According to
a BBC report, Jai Bhim is based on an incident that took place
in Tamil Nadu in 1993 and is linked to a 2006 Madras High
Court judgement. In March 1993, Rajkannu and a couple
named Sengai were among the four families of the Kurva tribal
community in Mudanni village of Tamil Nadu.
Rajkannu was accused of theft: - Everything was going well
that meanwhile, on the morning of March 20, some policemen
knocked on Sengai's door. The first question the police asked
was that where is her husband Rajkannu. Sengai fearfully told
that he has gone to work. No one knew why the police was
looking for Rajkannu. As soon as the mystery was unravelled,
it came to light that jewellery worth 1.5 lakh had been stolen in
a nearby village and the police have held Rajkannu guilty in
this case.

Police didn't even spare the children: -Rajkannu was not
found but the police took Sengai along with her children, her
husband's brother and sister to the police station in the name
of questioning. During this, everyone was beaten up a lot.
Meanwhile, Rajkannu, who was completely unaware of this
matter, was also searched by the police and taken into
custody.
After that, the police gave permission to Sengai and his
children to go home, but Rajkannu continued to be beaten up
by the police in custody. The next day in the afternoon, when
Sengai reached the police station with food, she saw that her
husband had been stripped completely and tied to the window.
Seeing him, it seemed that he had been beaten a lot. When
Sengai questioned the police in this regard, he was chased
away from there.

Rajkannu had escaped from custody: - Sengai had
to return home even against his will. She left the police
station at around 3 in the afternoon and reached her
village at 6 in the evening. What he came to know on
reaching the village was really shocking. Even before
that, the police had reached his village and informed
that Rajkanni had escaped from custody at 4.15 am.
Sengai was surprised that how could a person who
was not able to stand on his feet three hours ago,
escape from custody?

Who was Justice Chandru after all? The next day
i.e., March 22, 1993, a dead body was found in the
area of Meensurutty police station with deep marks of
assault on its body and its ribs were broken. Sengai
now wanted justice for her husband and Justice
Chandru, a lawyer from Chennai, helped her to get
justice in this matter. The character of Justice Chandru
is played by Suriya in the film.
Justice Chandru was a lawyer in those days. After
listening to the whole story of Sengai, he agreed to
fight his case. After this he filed a writ petition of
Habeas Corpus (habeas corpus) in the Madras High
Court. Please tell that it is used to present a person in
the custody of the administration in the court.

Sengai got justice: -After many ups and downs,
Justice Chandru finally won and Sengai got justice. In
2006, the Madras High Court convicted five policemen
for Rajkannu's death. It was also proved that the report
recorded in the police diary was changed and the
police prepared forged documents. It took 13 years for
the verdict on this case to come and the culprits to be
punished. The guilty policemen were sentenced to life
imprisonment and a doctor who had given false
testimony at the behest of the police was sentenced to
three years in prison.

it will be bad for its
rightful justice.”
Famous
Dialogues

12. Caste Based Discrimination
One of the most difficult issues to be discussed in India in any forum is
the challenge of caste. It is all-pervasive, omni-present and yet
everybody is uncomfortable to talk about its institutionalized,
discriminatory, and brutal impact on the society at large. Jai Bhim is a
bold movie written, directed, and acted with courage of conviction that
brings the issue of caste front and center to the narrative, dialogue, and
design of the film. It is powerful and yet subtle in terms of showcasing
the deeply embedded caste-based discrimination in our society and how
it has acquired the status of a Frankenstein’s monster. Jai Bhim has
persuasively shown us that we have a long way to go in fulfilling Dr. B.R.
Ambedkar’s vision and the promise that we made in the Constitution of
India: "Article 17. Abolition of Untouchability: Untouchability is abolished
and its practice in any form is forbidden. The enforcement of any
disability arising out of Untouchability shall be an offence punishable in
accordance with law."

13. Police Brutality and Custodial
Violence
Jai Bhim is a movie that touches every nerve of human conscience. It
challenges our fundamental assumptions of Indian democracy and the
promise to establish a society based on the rule of law. It is a fact that
wide-spread torture happens in custodial institutions in India. In an
official reply to a question in Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Home Affairs,
Government of India said that as many as 348 people died and 1,189
were tortured in police custody in 2018-19 and 2020-21. This data will be
significantly more in reality as not all instances of torture and custodial
violence gets reported. But even this data should shock our conscience.
The brutality that was meted out to the three individuals who were
illegally taken into custody by the police in the film does demonstrate the
larger problem of policing in India. But it has also demonstrated the wide
gap between the rhetoric of law and its reality.

14. Police Brutality and Custodial
Violence
There are numerous judgments of the Supreme Court of India, which
were violated in letter and spirit in relation to the arrest, detention,
interrogation, investigation, and all related processes of the characters in
the film. Jai Bhim, as a film went beyond the contours of creative
imagination and brought us close to the ugly realities of the internal
workings of the criminal justice system. It neither hesitated to show the
dysfunctional nature of the criminal justice process nor did it exaggerate
the systemic weaknesses and failures. It is the genius of the film
directing and acting that the story struck a perfect balance and left the
audience deeply shaken and moved and yet reflecting and hoping for
seeking that elusive justice.

Caste-based discrimination has to stop because these
rights have been applicable to everyone, including the
people belonging to the tribal community.
Consciously or subconsciously, very often citizens try
to demean or look down upon people belonging to the
so-called lower castes. Such practices are looked
down upon in the film and in real life too, these
practices should stop.

16. Sociological
idea

The wrong doers, to whichever profession or class they
belong, should be punished by the Honorable court.
There shall be no bias on the basis of class or status
It teaches us the power of the law and how to use it to
build a better world. It's not a fight between low castes
and high castes. Not even against the police officers,
but it's a fight against the entire system.

17. RELEVANCE IN TODAYS WORLD
 It is a fact that wide-spread torture happens in custodial
institutions in India. In an official reply to a question in
Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of
India said that as many as 348 people died and 1,189
were tortured in police custody in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
This data will be significantly more in reality as not all
instances of torture and custodial violence gets
reported. But even this data should shock our
conscience.
 The story of Jai Bhim is about the lives of some of the most
marginalized sections of the society. Even after 75 years of
Indian democracy, their struggles to fight for basic human
rights and human dignity continue unabated. The protagonist
of the film, in my view, is not the family of Senggeni or
Rajakannu or any of the other victims of custodial violence.
The protagonist is also not Suriya, a thoroughly gifted actor,
whose assumption of the role of Chandru, a public interest
and human rights lawyer was truly exemplary. Few people
could have done what Suriya did in pursuing this role with a
lot of nuance, subtlety, and style

18. Important Lessons from JAI BHIM
Movie
 Every citizen should be aware of the fact that the
Fundamental Rights are for every single human being of
the country – irrespective of Caste, creed, sex, religion,
race or place of birth. The Fundamental Rights of India
are – Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against
Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Cultural and
Educational Rights and Right to Constitutional
Remedies. Caste-based discrimination has to stop
because these rights have been applicable to everyone,
including the people belonging to the tribal community.
 The hierarchy of the society, that was inaugurated by the
caste system, has to be done away with. Consciously or
subconsciously, very often citizens try to demean or look
down upon people belonging to the so-called lower castes.
Such practices are looked down upon in the film and in real
life too, these practices should stop.

19. Important Lessons from JAI BHIM
Movie
 One should stand up for what is right, no matter what.
Advocate Chandru’s fight for justice for an innocent,
pregnant woman from Ruler tribe was not easy. In every
moment, there were hurdles and conflicts. But he
followed the honest road and did not fall for the ugliness
to which his opponents had succumbed.
 Senghani, in spite of all the hardships and tough situations
that she had to encounter, fought for her right. There were
times when influential people tried to manipulate her to give
up in return of a huge sum of cash. But Senghani did not
surrender and she fought till the end, seeking justice for her
husband’s death.

20. Important Lessons from JAI BHIM
Movie
 Mythra, a teacher for the adults from Irular tribe, is an
inspirational character. The tribal people require
education more than anything else, to escape such a
horrendous state of living. They should be made aware
of their rights and educators would help them gain this
awareness.Mythra helped Senghani throughout. The
society needs more people like Mythra, who is
sympathetic to the situations of the tribal communities
and tries to help them in general and especially during
their need.
 If someone (especially from a lower caste or tribal community)
has a history of being arrested, one must not discard them or
deprive them of good behaviour or the authorities shouldn’t
deprive them of the opportunities they need. There is a
chance that they have been accused of false case. Thus, the
grounds of arrest should be enquired before dealing with such
people.
