== Plot ==
''Shudra: The Rising'' is set in the time of the [[Indus Valley Civilization]] and has a storyline that concerns the caste system of ancient India.

The film depicts the four basic units of the [[Caste system in India|caste system]] - the [[Brahmin]]s, [[Kshatriya]]s, [[Vaishya]]s and the [[Shudra]]s. The initial part narrates the invasion of the people of west Asia to India. They were of the Aryan race and they take over the local tribe and start controlling them. Finally a learned scholar, Manu Rishi, creates a caste system which classifies the local population as Shudras, who then suffer from cruel social rules. They are suppressed and exploited at every level of their lives by the upper caste people. The film shows various rules imposed on the Shudras such as walking with a bell around their ankles and a long leaf behind their back, and a pot hanging around their neck.

== Reception ==
In October 2012, two [[Hindutva]] organisations - [[Vishwa Hindu Parishad]] and [[Bajrag Dal]] - demanded that the film not be shown. They claimed that its portrayal would foment rivalry between castes and that its depiction of events was anachronistic.<ref>{{cite web|author=Ashish Tripathi, TNN 13 Oct 2012, 07.46PM IST |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-13/lucknow/34430446_1_upper-castes-dalits-thakurs |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527113449/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-13/lucknow/34430446_1_upper-castes-dalits-thakurs |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-05-27 |title=Saffron brigade demands ban on movie 'Shudra-The Rising' |date=2012-10-13 |work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=2012-11-12}}</ref>
