They Said ONLY Brahmins Could Be Priests | Nikhil Singh - Director of "The Caste Rush"

Description:

You can support my work by becoming a member. Who gets to be a Hindu priest? For generations, the answer was seen as fixed — exclusive, inherited, closed. But this documentary challenges everything you think you know about caste, tradition, and who truly carries the sacred flame. In this exclusive interview, we sit down with "The Caste Rush" director Nikhil Singh, whose film travels across India to uncover the hidden lives of Dalit priests who perform the rituals, uphold the dharma, and quietly shatter the myth of exclusivity in Hindu temples. But this is more than a film about ritual. It’s a conversation about media narratives, Western misrepresentation, and the weaponization of caste. We talk about Ambedkar, the George Floyd moment, and why caste in India is misunderstood — and often exploited — by those looking in from the outside. This is the story of resistance without rage, of reform from within and of a filmmaker who spent two years documenting what many refused to see.
