Swades: We, the People
As India revels in the thick of urban development and technological advancement, her villages struggle to accumulate even the most basic needs. SWADES makes a timely plea to Indians at home and abroad reminding them that in order for globalization and its trickle-down theory to work, initiatives need to begin at the grassroot leve. From Ashutosh Gowariker, the maker of the Academy Award-nominated Lagaan – SWADES, unarguably the most critically acclaimed title of its times, thrives in its sheer simplicity and unabashedly stark depiction of the regressive ideology of the Indian village. Gowariker’s principal protagonist is a young scientist working as a project manager in NASA, who returns from his flamboyant American lifestyle to his village in India on a quest to find his childhood nanny. The eye-opening journey of the educated expatriate teaches him to patiently relate with an assorted bunch of vbillagers, shattering myths and altering perceptions about his country and his own goals in life. An austere and realistic look at India and its heart, SWADES gives patriotism a new face.
