Samskara initiated the parallel cinema movement in Kannada. Initially banned by the Madras Government, the film is a bold and blistering attack on the caste system. It follows a religious dispute in a small village community about whether a rebellious meat, alcohol drinking Brahmin who dies suddenly has the right to a decent Brahmin funeral. The beauty of the film lies in its confrontation of tradition with modernity and rationality. The realization that the good Brahmin has about living a life without judgement, a life outside of caste, honesty and humanity as the only path to moksha

Collaboration: Foundation for Universal Responsibility of H.H. The Dalai Lama; and National Film Archive of India, Pune
