Narratives of Trauma and Resistance: A Representative Study Of ‘Sengani’ In Jai Bhim

Author(s) Ms. Kirti Sharma
Country India
Abstract Social film genres tell the tragic stories of society’s downtrodden and underprivileged people and encourage viewers to have a sense of empathy and accountability towards them for their adversity. The irony is that although India has the largest tribal population in the world, their economic condition is miserable and pitiable. They are exploited and have impoverished lives. They have difficulties assimilating into mainstream society, which has left them socio-culturally and technologically disadvantaged. With its emphasis on the injustice and exploitation of tribes in the 1990s, the film Jai Bhim accurately captures this predicament. Sengani, the expectant tribal lady, cried aloud, but she only spoke up when she confronted the higher-ranking police officers who were mistreating her. This research paper aims to shed light on the status of tribal women in modern Indian culture by using a feminist lens to analyze Sengani’s character in the film. It examines the pain experienced by Indigenous women, their socio-cultural context, the injustice suffered by them, and their fight for justice. It also emphasizes how crucial it is for these sorts of movies to raise awareness of social concerns, women's difficulties, and the social advancement of neglected tribes.
