The mapping to divine Lord Rama is unmistakable, and the Godliness bestowed leaves no room for doubt. The iconography of lower caste Bheem showing fealty to lord rama is how the movie ends.

The facts I mentioned are well cited and referenced facts that are well supported. Thanks for acknowledging that you offer no contradiction.

It is also obvious from your play with words - "half minority" that you are upper caste. Eg, Hindu Jain marriages are common.

> I'm fascinated to know how you came to that conclusion.

Lower castes - SC/ST would be irritated by the supplication by Bheem in the end. Non Hindus would find the conversion of a secular independence movement to a hindu religious paen and the exclusion of secular liberal leaders (the father of the nation and first PM) offensive.

This is a typical UC thinking. The only things that are offensive are those that offend me. If someone else gets offended by something else, there is something wrong with them.



> Godliness bestowed

I'm sorry, who bestowed godliness on whom?

> The facts I mentioned are well cited

You claimed non-Hindus were excluded and went into a tangent about the Ramayana.

> It is also obvious from your play with words - "half minority" that you are upper caste. Eg, Hindu Jain marriages are common

I didn't realise OBC Veershaiva Lingayats were now considered upper caste. Apparently stating the truth was playing with words.

> Lower castes - SC/ST would be irritated by the supplication by Bheem in the end.

Bravo, you reduced Ram and Bheem to their caste. Maybe if you had watched the movie before pontificating, you would noticed something else about the characters and their relationship. And interesting how you lump SC and ST together. If you do want to look at it from a caste lens, what does a Gond have to do with SC's? Or do they all look the same to you?

> conversion of a secular independence movement to a hindu religious paen

How the hell is it a religious paen?! Is this one of your facts?

> exclusion of secular liberal leaders (the father of the nation and first PM) offensive.

Exclusion from a cheesy dance number? Really, this is what is offensive?

> If someone else gets offended by something else, there is something wrong with them.

Offence is always taken, not given.
