Beyond the Human Boundary: Reimagining Indian Mythology in Kalki 2898 AD through the lens of Posthumanism.

Author(s) Mr. Rittick Dey
Country India
Abstract Within the philosophical structure of Posthumanism, a critique of anthropocentrism is mounted. It is a framework that raises a fundamental question about the concept of human beings as the central and most significant entities of the universe. Through this perspective, conventional ideas of human exceptionalism are challenged and an exploration is also conducted into the profound interconnectedness that is shared between humans, technology, environment, and “other” non-human species. In a world deeply mediated by technological advancements and ecological entanglement, a redefinition of what it means to be “human” is pursued. This research manuscript will undertake a comprehensive analysis of 2024’s megahit movie, Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin through the lens of Posthumanism and other crucial aspects that are related to it. The paper will also seek to inspect this Indian sci-fi epic’s systematic deconstruction of anthropocentric views and navigate the complex association between humans and technology within its narrative and characters. The present study will further investigate the film’s innovative reinterpretation of mythological concepts of ancient India in a futuristic and holistic dystopian setting. It will also aim to offer a distinctively Indian perspective on the evolving definition of humanity and its place in a technologically mediated world through the examination of the culture, nature, technological inventions and other key posthumanist aspects that are embedded in the movie. A significant contribution to the global discourse on posthuman futures will thereby be made.
