Aarakshan

Aarakshan is a socially charged Indian drama directed by Prakash Jha that explores the impact of India’s caste-based reservation policy on education and personal relationships. Set in a prestigious college, the film follows principled principal Dr. Prabhakar Anand, who supports affirmative action, and the turmoil that unfolds among his students and colleagues after a landmark Supreme Court verdict upholds reservations. As ambition, ideology, friendship, and romance collide, the story highlights how political decisions deeply affect individual lives, exposing prejudice, moral dilemmas, and the fragile balance between equality and merit in contemporary society.
