Abstract

A beacon of social realism in the vast field of Indian cinema is Kumar Sahani's cinematic legacy. This research examines Sahani's steadfast dedication to empathy and sincerity when tackling issues of social marginalization, gender, caste, and class. Sahani presents the brutal truths of Indian society with painstaking attention to detail and empathetic narrative, asking viewers to acknowledge their own involvement in the continuation of injustice. In films like "Maya Darpan" and "Tarang," marginalized people's sufferings are depicted graphically, offering subtle criticisms of deeply ingrained societal structures. Sahani urges societal transformation and self-reflection via her examination of topics including land reform, gender inequity, and intercommunal strife. Sahani's cinematic creations are ultimately timeless reminders of the transformational potential of art in encouraging empathy, introspection, and the quest for a more fair and just society.
