India turns 75 in this DW documentary, the second of a two-part series examining how far the country has drifted from Mahatma Gandhi's vision of a pluralistic, nonviolent, egalitarian state. Arun Gandhi, the Mahatma's grandson, appears as a bridge between that founding ideal and the present, reflecting on his grandfather's assassination in 1948 and what remains of his campaign for equal opportunity. The film moves between children laboring in urban brickyards, indigenous communities displaced by corporate development, and the persistence of caste-based marginalization despite its constitutional ban. Alongside these accounts of poverty and Hindu nationalist politics, it tracks India's geopolitical ambitions and space program as signs of a rising global power. Personal stories carry the narrative throughout, letting individuals working to keep Gandhi's ideals alive stand alongside the environmental and social problems they're up against. The result is a portrait of a country holding stark contradictions at once: deep spirituality and mass inequality, innovation and exploitation, democratic ideals and their daily erosion.
