Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan has urged Indian cinema and streaming platforms to enhance social representation, particularly concerning caste and religious diversity. He highlighted TVF's popular shows, including 'Panchayat,' for their consistent portrayal of upper-caste characters, questioning the authenticity of their village narratives. Ghaywan believes educated creators have a responsibility to challenge established storytelling patterns and reflect the true breadth of Indian society.
