Yes Sir (Mudit Singhal) India

Yes Sir
Mudit Singhal
India. 2023. 20 min

Tiwari, a Brahmin (dominant/privileged caste in India), is a peon in a government undertaking, where a Dalit (oppressed caste considered untouchables for centuries in India) has risen to become a big officer. Tiwari resents this. The officer’s bathroom’s drain has choked. This story is about how this reverse hierarchy, and Tiwari’s caste prejudice towards the officer, counterbalance each other to solve the problem of the choked drain.
