‘Jana Gana Mana’, the first three words of India’s national anthem meaning the people, the community and the power of their ideas, reflects on democracy, and its myriad manifestations and contradictions, its strong links to tradition that are often contradictory to contemporary reading of democracy. The film travels through India to locate traditional and historical practices of democracy – mostly to be found in the indigenous communities or erased pages of history – and the contradictions in the contemporary middle class Indian life that are still strongly bound by traditional practices and values, many of which are often discriminatory. Through some of the contemporary initiatives on governance at the grassroot level, such as the milk cooperative of Amul and the children’s parliament in Tilonia, Rajasthan, film celebrates collective action.
