A Necessary Demon
Plot
While mainstream India celebrates Durga Puja as a victory of good over evil, people from the Kherwal Santhal community mourn the fall of their ancestral king, Hudur Durga (also known as Mahishasura). This documentary explores this sensitive socio-political narrative and tries to reveal a powerful alternative subtext that demands to reclaim history and identity through a different cultural lens.
