The video-collage is a scathing audiovisual critique of the existing political parties in India. It highlights the fact that all the national parties in India behave in the same manner when it comes to religion. For garnering votes (in other words, for enriching the vote-bank), the religious or communal card is exploited by every single party by means of participation in various ritualistic performances or institutions. The mask of secularism is foregrounded while the latent religious mindset is deliberately foreclosed. Ideologies are forgotten or hypocritically banished altogether from the spectrum of parliamentary politics. The collage ends with a positive note, i.e., with the goal of a non-coercive, partyless democratic space.
