AB Mainstream Indian cinema has failed to denounce the social realities of casteism, depictdiversity and vindicate inclusion. However, the advent of globalisation and new modernmedia and social platforms have contributed, not only to reinventing the very dynamics ofcinema production and consumption, but also to developing new film genres that dare toquestion and counter hegemonic ideologies and aesthetics. This is the case of Dalit cinema,a movement of visual creative art made by Dalit film-makers with a view to embodying anddignifying Dalit subjectivities and inspiring socio-cultural criticism and resistance. Themain aim of this paper will be to show how Dalit films like Vetrimaaran’s Asuran strive tooppose the dominant aesthetics of stereotypical representation, thus denouncing casteistimages and even developing innovative or subversive anti-caste aesthetics which promptspectators to get involved in the ethical issues put forward and can in turn be labelled asanti-caste aesthet(h)ics.
