BOOK   Untouchables Written by Narendra Jadha/ Published by University of California Press(2007) Anyone who has heard about the caste system of India and thought about the lives of Dalit, the underclass of Indian social hierarchy. If you imagine that you are born as one, how would your life turn out to be? The book "Untouchables" describe the tragedy in details. Dalit, who were considered foul and avoided, had no right to visit Hindu temple, the shrine of their religion. What is worse was that they had to sweep the floor with a broom they always carry with them to obliterate their footprints, and were denied access to free drinking water. The caste system which had been around for 3,500 years was abolished by the constitution of India in 1947, but its ancient power still holds and influences people's lives in India.  Narendra Jadhav, who was born in 1953, 6 years after the abolishment, spent his childhood without freedom. However, what sets him apart from the others began from one thing. He believed that every human is equal and has dignity, no matter what kind of race, ethnicity and class they belong to..  MOVIE  Boys Don't Cry 1999/ Directed by Kimberly Peirce/ Starred by Hilwary Swank, Chloe Sevigny and more is Boys Don't Cry is based on a true story of 1993 Brandon Teena's murder in Nebraska. He is an American trans man, and a symbolic prey of brutal hate crime against LGBT in U.S.A. The fims starts with the scene where a girl named Teena Renae Brandon shaves her hair off, part for fun and part for avoiding theft accusation. After abandoning her hometown for a nearby village a to avoid police, she adopts a fake identity, only to realize her true sexual nature. She changes her name into Brandon Teena, becomes romantically involved with Lana Tisdel and stays at her place.  Later on, Brandon is detained by the police for speed driving, and it is soon revealed that his is physically a woman, but this does not stop Lana from loving him.
