Screening of a documentary film
Gail & Bharat (2025)
Directed by Somnath Waghmare
Followed by a Q&A session with the filmmaker
The Documentary film on a US-born Indian sociologist and Dalit rights activist, Prof. Gail Omvedt (1941–2021,) and her partner, activist Dr.Bharat Patankar. The documentary avoids academic jargon and is instead structured around their personal life, set against the backdrop of the larger Indian socio-political movements around them. Given the lack of serious documentation of Indian anti-caste struggles, this film is an important resource that will preserve their life’s work for scholars and activists. The film celebrates the shared life and seminal work of Dr. Gail Omvedt and Dr. Bharat Patankar, whose decades of activism and scholarship have been foundational to the anti-caste and social justice movements in India.
