The Rig Veda itself portrays Indra as a warlord, celebrating the destruction of enemies, looting of cattle, and the subjugation of weaker groups. Women, in particular, were gradually pushed into subordinate roles, with later texts like the Manusmriti codifying their oppression.

The varna system, which evolved into caste-based discrimination, ensured that those who worked the hardest—Shudras, Dalits, and laborers—were treated as lesser beings. ..Tamil traditions, in contrast, had a more balanced societal structure, where women, poets, and warriors were respected, and skin color wasn’t a measure of worth.

Remembering Tapan Kumar Bose, a Tireless Advocate for the Rohingya People https://thewire.in/rights/tapan-kumar-bose-obituary by Sabber Kyaw Min.. 

Bose’s activism began during India’s emergency in the late 1970s, where he highlighted human rights violations. His work covered important events like the Bhagalpur blindings, conflicts in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, and the Bhopal gas tragedy. Through his films, such as An Indian Story (1981), Bhopal: Beyond Genocide (1986), The Vulnerable Road User (1991), Jharkhand (1993) and The Expendable People (2016), he gave a platform to the oppressed and brought attention to systemic injustices.

He was instrumental in establishing and supporting many human rights groups, including the South Asia Forum for Human Rights, the Pakistan-India People’s Forum for Peace and Democracy, the Rohingya Human Rights Initiative and others.
