CHAPTER 19 Cinematographic Representation of Discrimination at Homeland and Host Country: An Analysis of Girish Makwana’s The Colour of Darkness Dr. Jasvant Rathod Girish Makwana is a well-known music director working in the celluloid industry of India as well as abroad. He is known for his remarkable musical productions in the glamourous world of music and cinema. Born in a Dalit family at Tundav in Anand District of Gujarat, he had been educated at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Vadodara and Australia. During his early childhood, he became disabled due to polio. His disability brought him bitter experiences of life as he was taunted and harassed mentally due to his physical incapability. His wish to study drama in Gujarat was not fulfilled as he had not got admission in school of drama in India due to his disability though he was deeply desirous. These bitter experiences of inferiority have influenced his creative productions. It is evident in his attempts to share and express the loneliness and aloofness of self in his musical and artistic productions. Since Makwana had experiences of people discriminating him and not considering him a normal human being, his creations also reflect this gloom and condition of loneliness. In his interview with Ravish Kumar in Prime Time of NDTV, he mentions how he had to face double discrimination as he was discriminated because he was both a Dalit (a member of untouchable community in India) as well as a disabled person. In this regard, it is worth to mention that the Dalit woman, disabled persons and the transgender face discrimination in more than one way. They are discriminated because they are not considered normal by society and they are also discriminated because of their caste.
