bringing together south asian diasporas, their funding of hindutva with the racial politics and carceral systems of the american south, expulsion of asians in uganda and women's sexuality.. it is almost as if it is only now that I am understanding why the movie is such a masterpiece!

"Gauri Lankesh was blunt in her critique, roundly denouncing the Hinduism espoused by once-fringe Hindu extremist groups that were rapidly taking centre stage and whipping up hate on social media." Laxmi Murthy writes:
