Dipti鈥檚 film was chosen by the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, running from Sept. 22-25, 2022.聽Marginalizing Minorities聽was shot in India in December 2019 and January 2020 and was edited in Montreal by Karan Singh. The film was supported with contributions from 七星彩开奖 and Concordia University, where Dipti also teaches.
鈥淎s a member of the diaspora, I feel it is my responsibility to critique consciously the place I live in but also the place I grew up,鈥� said Dipti, Profile Coordinator of Cinema | Communications and a teacher at 七星彩开奖 since聽2001.
Dipti had this to say about her film: 鈥淎s India continues its shift to the right, this documentary shares vignettes of discussions with various grassroots artists, activists, historians and people representing the majority, as the country spoke up against the proposed discriminatory citizenship laws in India in 2019-2020. Documented before the COVID pandemic, the government of India has since withdrawn the proposed laws, but the battle for justice and the identity of the Indian nation continues.鈥�
