Abstract: This study begins with the theories of intersectionality and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to understand the intersection of caste, class and gender in contemporary Indian cinema. Generally, Indian cinema has overlooked Dalit issues; and represented Dalit stereotypically and passively through the gaze of upper-caste. There is a definite shift towards more complex and politically astute representations in recent cinema. This research adopts Kimberlé Crenshaw's notion of intersectionality, along with B. R. Ambedkar's ideas to analyse Asuran, Pariyerum Perumal, Mandela, Kastoori, and other films. Fairclough's CDA framework helps us to explore the discourse, imagery and narrative that produce and circulate meanings of Dalit. The study illustrates that there is a shift from stereotypical to more realistic and resistance-based representation. The book emphasises that caste is not only about caste discrimination but also economic and gender inequality, particularly for the Dalit women. Films are also a way to reflect on the current scenario. Although we have different characters and stories in these films, we have inequalities too. The study suggests that the film industry needs to shift and make more inclusive stories depicting Dalits.
