Now bollywood is full of oppressive uppercaste actors and directors who have a monopoly on the story and narrative and that's why we see more bollywood garbage glorifying cowered and oppressive castes.

There seems to have been an attempt to make Phoolan look like a crusader for the rights of the lower castes. Nothing could be further from the truth. The makers apparently were looking for a peg that would appeal to Western viewers and decided to make the caste issue as the central theme. That's plain dishonest.
