New Delhi: The Subject Association of the Centre for the Study for Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSEIP), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) organised the screening of the documentary film “Izzatnagari ki Asabhya Betiyan” on 25th Novemeber, 2022 at Noam Chomsky Building of the University to commemorate Constitution Day 2022.
The purpose of the screening was to engage students to understand the democratic (loktantrik) institutions and traditions existing in the country and the relevant impacts it has on people’s everyday lives and sensitize them about issues of Khap-Panchayat.
The film took off from a similar premise and begged the audience to view these institutions critically. It dealt with the Khap-Panchayats located across India in several villages, where to date their influence looms over the lives of its inhabitants and questioned the issues of gender, caste and moreover the dichotomy of the traditional and the progressive outlooks.
A large number of students from across the university belonging to different centres and departments attended the film screening. The screening was followed by a discussion with the film maker Mr. Nakul S. Sawhney.
The event was organised and moderated by Dr. Arvind Kumar, Advisor, Subject Association, CSSEIP and was chaired by Prof. Arvinder A Ansari, Hony. Director, CSSEIP,JMI.
