Response to Question 1
Few relationships in the world are based on the essence of the strong bond between
two individuals. The relationship between the protagonist Bhuvan and his mother signifies
the strong bond that a mother shares with her son. It is better understood when in one scene
Bhuvan is seen seeking advice from her mother Yashodama for speaking on behalf of other
villagers. Her mother says that he inherits the same leadership qualities as of his father
thereby providing him with the confidence to lead from the front even though he was
subjected to staunch criticism by others for taking such a huge risk in competing with the
British Empire (Pérez and María). Ishwar as a father along with his daughter Gauri also
shares a strong relationship when Gauri is seen praying for her father to perform well in the
match and eventually consoles him when he gets out the next day.
Response to Question 2
During British colonial oppression over India the discrimination among the caste
groups and various religious communities was at its peak. This was the main reason for
which India being a larger country with a huge population failed to stand united against the
British rule for quite a significant amount of time. Few pieces of evidence from the movie
shows how the discrimination among these caste groups affected the natives from standing
united against the British battalion in the initial period (Black). In one of the scenes, it is seen
that Kachra, a person with disability belonging to the group of untouchables of that time
suffers hatred from other villagers when he was chosen as one of the native cricketers.
Another scene reflects the same discrimination among the villagers when Ismail, a person
from the Muslim minority class was reminded of his caste by a fellow villager and was told
that he doesn’t fit in the team.
