Historic Movie : Salt of The Earth

Excellent movie on the working class movement made by Blacklisted artist of Hollywood

Inklab by Dr.Gaurav Chhabra 'Karma'

A homophone of Inklab , 'Inquilab' an Indian word  means 'a Revolution or an Uprising'.

Today, when the common man around the world, is re-exploring his powers and is standing at the edge of a phenomenal change, challenging the exploitative regimes, it becomes necessary that he realize that everything depends on him and that he is an essential part of the system that he wants to put right.

The film explores how the power of ideas and thoughts of a common man can shape up the destiny of the whole nation and how we still need to move further from here, keeping us free from any stagnant political ideologies and rather focusing on an inner rebellion, so as to initiate a change from within.

The film incidentally is shot at the Historic Dwaarka Das Library in Chandigarh, which is post-partition restoration of the library at Lahore where Shaheed Bhagat Singh used to spend a lot of time reading books on Russian, Irish revolutions and socialism.
