Marupakkam Online Film Screening # 35 : Foreigner in My Home Land

Marupakkam Online Film Screening # 35

FROM 6 PM TODAY!

Film : A Foreigner in My Home Land
Dir: Nishajyothi Sharma; 55 min



Nepalis (Gorkhas) of Assam are not foreigners or outsiders, except for a few who may have migrated to Assam (India) post 1971. However, the prevalent sentiment among the Assamese masses is quite contrary to what history says and the Assam Accord of 1985 has agreed to.

Through this self-reflexive film, the filmmaker (who herself is an Asameli Nepali/Gorkha) explores the notion of identity of the community in Assam.
