More so with local politics in Meghalaya, something that I had never looked at microscopically. I was aware of the broad strokes \u2013 the vying between national and regional parties; the jostling between local parties to be seen as true sons-of-the-soil; or the eternal-as-the-hills insider-outsider politics in the city. And a realisation while making this film that as a \u2018dkhar\u2019 (a person from the plains), one had never engaged with politics from the inside \u2013 a reflection of the receding political space that the \u2018dkhar\u2019 has come to occupy in Shillong over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What caught my attention in this election campaign was the foregrounding of the idea of \u2018jaidbynrew\u2019, loosely translated as the Khasi\/Jaintia race or people. And to disturbingly see parties stoking son-of-the-soil and outsider-as-threat narratives. This triggered memories of belonging, outsider-ness, insider-outsider politics that I had grown up with. I sensed a polarity, one that I wanted to resist but felt the need to verbalise \u2013 questions, speculations, even conspiracy theories. The film is an exploration of these inner doubts and confusions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":4608,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio-category":[],"portfolio-tag":[],"portfolio_entries":[50],"class_list":["post-4389","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-kpff2026"],"acf":[],"tpgb_featured_images":{"full":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg.webp",1920,1080,false],"tp-image-grid":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg-700x700.webp",700,700,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg-80x80.webp",80,80,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg-300x169.webp",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg-768x432.webp",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/Still-4-Amit-Mahanti.jpg-1030x579.webp",1030,579,true],"default":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-content\/plugins\/the-plus-addons-for-block-editor\/assets\/images\/tpgb-placeholder.jpg"},"tpgb_post_meta_info":{"get_date":"December 31, 2025","get_modified_date":"January 15, 2026","category_list":{"post_tag":false,"portfolio-category":false,"portfolio-tag":false,"portfolio_entries":[{"term_id":50,"name":"KPFF2026","slug":"kpff2026","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":50,"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","description":"","parent":0,"count":39,"filter":"raw"}]},"comment_count":0,"post_likes":0,"post_views":0},"tpgb_post_category":{"portfolio_entries":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/portfolio_entries\/kpff2026\/\" alt=\"KPFF2026\"  class=\"portfolio_entries-kpff2026\">KPFF2026<\/a> "},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4389"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5192,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4389\/revisions\/5192"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4389"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-category?post=4389"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-tag?post=4389"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourcinema.in\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=4389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
