IT IS THAT time of year when the Vaanam Art Festival, curated by Pa Ranjith’s Neelam Cultural Centre, returns in full force, marking Dalit History Month alongside the birth anniversary of social reformer and revolutionary BR Ambedkar.

This year, four compelling productions—Nallathangaal, Maamannan Nandan, Thee, and Naayika
