Komuram Bheemudo: "Make that bastard kneel now!" Part 2/?

Hey! Hey! Hey! Remember how the whole point of the public flogging was to make Bheem kneel?

Who am I kidding? We are reminded of it constantly throughout the flogging

Ram's failed attempt #1

Ram's failed attempt #2

This bitchiest bitch to ever bitch

Ram's failed attempt #3

This asshole dickfuck vomitted straight out of hell

Ram's failed attempt #4

And in the end, Bheem has his way. He falls, but he does not kneel. They break him, but they cannot be bend him. They can command him, threaten him, brutalize him, but they cannot subdue him. He is the tiger, he cannot be tamed.

But!

BUT!

BUT!

You know what detail makes me go absolutely feral is interesting?

Bheem is not the one who kneels after the flogging.

RAM DOES!

RAM IS THE ONE WHO IS BROUGHT TO HIS KNEES AT THE END OF THE FLOGGING!!!

And I don't even mean this in a metaphorical sense (though that one is true as well)

Ram. Is. Physically. Kneeling. Beside. Bheem. I cannot stress this enough.

This is a KEY moment in the movie. It's a turning point.

We know that seeing the unarmed civilians rising up against the armed British forces in the wake of Bheem's defiance is what spurs Ram to finally, FINALLY arrive at his epiphany. His idea of what a revolution is and how it can be achieved is too narrow, too rigid, too costly. The sacrifices are too many and at what point will the ends justify the means?

But to change his viewpoint (again both literally and metaphorically), RAM HAS TO BEND FIRST! Once Ram bends, only then can he finally SEE!

And what is it that makes Ram bend? It's his LOVE FOR BHEEM! His love for Bheem changes him.

So these, that is, the shots where Ram is SEEING a revolution, an actual revolution in action, sparked by nothing more than Bheem's song and his indomitable spirit....

....come AFTER these shots. Where Ram is compelled by his love for Bheem to bend down and kneel

Compare this with Ram's introduction scene.

There is a revolution going on. People show up in front of a police station on the outskirts of Delhi to protest the arrest of Lala Lajpat Rai, a prominent Indian political figure, in Kolkata, armed with nothing more than torches, flags, and their righteous anger.

Ram watches the revolution. But he does not SEE it. He is so focused on his distant goal that he is blind to what is right in front of him. What is literally staring at him in the eye.

So, what does Ram do with his myopic worldview? He quashes the revolution. He stamps out the very thing he is fighting for. He breaks the spirit of the revolution, the spirit of the people, and he watches stone-faced as the protesters limp away, defeated. All because he cannot SEE the revolution for what it is.

So, with these two scenes in mind, we understand that this is not the first time Ram has witnessed a revolution. The people's uprising in the wake of Bheem's torture is nothing new to him. He has watched it all before, has actively participated in snuffing it out even.

Here, Ram STANDS tall, straight, rigid, focused, unbending.

Here, Ram is ON HIS KNEES.

The only factor that changes between these two scenes is the presence of Bheem..... and Ram's love for him. It's Ram's love for Bheem that bends his inflexible worldview. It's Ram's love for Bheem that makes him take a step back and actually see the true meaning of revolution. It's Ram's love for Bheem that shifts his perspective. It's Ram's love for Bheem that makes Ram willingly give up a 15 year long mission he has been toiling endlessly for.

Love is THE MOST powerful force in RRR. No amount of pain, grief, anger, heartbreak, trauma, brutality or violence can wipe it out. It is love that shines and love that emerges victorious. And after the flogging, Ram's love for Bheem is the most powerful driving force in his life, more powerful than a lifelong mission, more powerful than a promise made among tears and blood.

The visual storytelling and symbolisms in this movie are insane. I am going to scream about them for the next 80 years.

[arcaneconfessions]

bruh sevika is in indian name. i am so mad at the misinterpretations of her name because

1. her name doesnt mean "servant of god", i dont know how people got that idea, it means "female servant" and maybe "caregiver". its not even a name, but its not even a term used to address servants anymore and hasnt been used for many many years. but its still annoying to me.

2. its not pronounced suh-VEE-kuh like the show, the fandom, the showmakers, and even the voice actor pronounce it. its SAY-vi-Kaa. the se is pronounced as say, the ka ks kaa and not kuh. सेविका (in hindi lettering).

many people in the fandom really love and respect this character and it would be great if they learnt to at least say her name properly. its a beautiful name, and shes a strong, loyal, intelligent, and amazing character whose loyalty to zaun and commitment to gain freedom reflects that of our freedom fighters, like bhagat singh, begum hazrat mahal, lala lajpat rai, rani lakshmi bai, and more.

On this day, 23 March 1931, Indian revolutionary socialists Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar were executed by British colonial authorities in what is now Punjab, Pakistan. They had been sentenced to death for assassinating a senior British police officer in 1928, to avenge the police killing of Lala Lajpat Rai during an anti-colonial demonstration. While they opposed British colonialism, rather than narrow nationalism they advocated working class revolution against both British and Indian capitalists. They were all just 22-23 years old. Singh commented: "They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit". In the wake of their conviction, Mohandas Gandhi appealed to the Viceroy of India to commute their sentences, but he also appealed to huge crowds not to take action to secure their release, as he had signed a truce agreement with authorities. After they were executed, Gandhi was greeted by a crowd he described as "incensed" flying black flags and shouting “Gandhi go back”, “Down with Gandhism”, “Gandhi's truce has sent Bhagat Singh to gallows” and “Long live Bhagat Singh”. After their deaths, Bhagat Singh in particular became a national hero.

Full article copy-pasted below

An Indian princess whose pivotal role remains largely forgotten in history, had great influence in the Women's Suffrage Movement, which led to British women acquiring the right to vote. Princess Sophia Duleep Singh was the daughter of Duleep Singh and granddaughter of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Born in the summer of 1876, she spent the early part of her life in the English Countryside and only first visited India in 1903. This was a turning point in her life as she was alarmed by the treatment of her fellow citizens under an autocratic colonial regime.

The princess was enamoured by the work of many Indian revolutionaries and was especially intrigued by the work of Lala Lajpat Rai who was imprisoned on sedition charges. This discovery first moved Sophia to turn against the British Raj and she returned to England looking for a fight. She actively got engaged in WSPU (Women’s Social & Political Union) and inadvertently became a significant part of the Suffrage Movement. 

As part of the Women's Tax Resistance League, they led rallies with the slogan “No taxation without representation” and "No Vote, No Tax". Known as the most vilified women in England, they garnered a special dislike amongst royals. In November 1910, on the day later known as ‘Black Friday’, Sophia and Emmeline (woman who organised the Suffrage Movement) led a protest with suffragettes marching towards the House of Commons. As noted by the Quint, they were passionate with the hopes of convincing then Prime Minister Herbert Asquith’s government to pass a limited suffrage bill.

However, they were attacked by the police and the princess soon got arrested. This only fueled her fire as she started selling ‘The Suffragette’ newspaper outside the elite area of Hampton Court Palace. She also subverted the census and claimed that if women do not count then they should not be counted either. The rebellious princess threw herself at the prime minister's car, all while screaming slogans and holding onto a banner that read “Give Women the Vote”. 

The suffrage sisters were continuously imprisoned and were brutally fed to put a stop on their hunger strikes. Sophia noted the crown’s ruthless antics that only seemed to get worse at home and in their acquired colonies. At last, her efforts came to fruition when the Representation of the People Act of 1918 was passed which gave women over 30 the right to vote. This further led to women over 21 acquiring the right to vote in 1928. 

The princess turned activist spent the majority of her life in public protests and fighting against the establishment. During the First World War she took to the bedside of wounded Indian soldiers known as ‘Lascars’. Through all her efforts she only ever worked for the upliftment of those who were forgotten by a powerful regime, becoming a part of the most integral movement in human history. Finally being recognised for her bravery, the princess is to be honoured with a commemorative Blue Plaque by English Heritage in London.

"Shadows of History: Brahminical Influence and India's Struggle for Freedom"

Jai Bhim to all.

The conflict often mischaracterized as the initial struggle for independence against the British in 1857 was actually triggered by British violations of traditional Manu laws. This included punishment of Brahmins, erosion of Brahmin authority, and expanded opportunities in education and employment for Shudras.

In response, figures like Tantia Tope, a Konkani Brahmin, collaborated with other prominent Brahmins to strategize. With the nominal leadership of Bahadur Shah Jafar, figures like Nana Saheb, Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, and Sadashiba Rao Peshwa prepared for conflict.

The British, understanding the plot, suppressed the rebellion, targeting Brahmins and placing a bounty on their heads. Many Brahmins went underground, disguising themselves as ascetics or Babas (eg. Saibaba).

The introduction of the Indian Penal Code in 1860 marked a seismic shift, departing from Manu laws by instituting uniform punishment regardless of caste. The IPC now mandated death for resistance to British rule.

For years, Brahmins waited, wary of British reprisal, much like during Buddha and Ashoka's era and later in the 19th century.

By 1875, Dayananda Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj. Yet, Brahmins hesitated to act openly, fearing British retaliation.

In 1884, Bala Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Bipin Chandrapal founded Congress under the name Home Rule, appointing A.O. Hume as its first president.

Brahmins sought to temper British anger by signaling an alliance through Hume. Yet, the British saw through the ploy and dismissed it.

Later, Tilak assumed Congress presidency, realizing broader support was needed beyond Brahmins. He engaged with other community leaders, like Chhatrapati Sahu Maharaj and Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phule, but faced skepticism.

Phule's seminal work "Gulamgiri" underscored the need to challenge Brahminical dominance even before British departure. Phule's ideas galvanized the Mulnivasi, leading to skepticism of Brahmin leadership.

The Ganesh Nimajjana Utsav, initiated by Tilak, sought to unify Indians under Brahmin auspices, catalyzing support for independence.

Previously, Shivaji's festival was Maharashtra's primary celebration. Phule's unearthing of Shivaji's legacy highlighted Brahminical opposition to Shudra rule. Annual events like Bhima Koregaon served as reminders of Brahminical treachery.

Brahmins leveraged festivals like Ganesh Nimajjana to suppress their history of exploitation, fostering religious unity and support for their independence movement.

Through strategic propaganda, they recast Shivaji as a symbol of Hindu self-respect, obscuring their own antagonism towards Shudras and Mulnivasis, currently trending as Hindu-Muslim clashes in the name of Hindutva.

From the year being 1920, to the lathi charge, to King George's picture, to the Sikh guy, to Lala Lajpat Rai's mention kkajskansndjejrbrhJsjdbdbbs there is SO MUCH happening in that scene, even beyond the action.
