| Abstract: | India is a land that was handicapped by casteism even in the early years of twenty-first century. Current progressive Kerala, a small state in the south of India, has adopted a nuanced approach where casteist bigotry is laughed at rather than lauded. The art reflects life when the caste bigots in the chosen movies Puzhu and Malayankunju are portrayed as psychotic and neurotic respectively. Space theory is not a new approach but it is effective in showcasing how casteism is viewed in the modern society. Michel Foucault’s theory of Heterotopia that he has discussed in the paper is used not to argue that casteism does not exist, as it very obviously does, rather to shift the focus from the criminal acts committed by the despots wielding their sceptre of caste supremacy to the way they are perceived by people occupying the same spaces. |
