This book explores the dynamics of caste in Bollywood and popular Hindi cinema through an examination of the representation of Dalits since the 1930s. Drawing on critical textual analysis and historical analyses of a number of key films, the author argues that popular Hindi cinema corroborates in the construction, naturalisation, and dissemination of Dalit stereotypes in line with the dominant culture, on the one hand, and ignores the Dalit history of struggle against caste discrimination, on the other hand. The book maps the evolution of Dalit representation from the 1930s to the 2000s. In doing so, it addresses the continuity and shifts in their portrayals and explores the linkages between the cinematic representation of Dalits and real- world power structures. This book will be of interest to scholars and students working in film studies, film history, cultural politics, sociology, and cultural studies.

Full mouth rehabilitation seeks to convert all unfavorable forces on teeth which invariably lead to periodontal conditions, into favorable forces which permit normal function and therefore induce healthy condition. Thus it entails the performance of all the procedures necessary to produce a healthy, esthetic, well-functioning, self-maintaining masticatory function. It implies the restoration of impaired occlusion, enhancement of esthetics, preservation of the remaining teeth and maintenance of a healthy periodontium. Treatment plan must result in healthy maintainability of the teeth and their respective supporting structures in harmony with the muscles, bones, joints and ligaments of the mouth and jaws.
