Manthan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manthan (Hindi: मन्थन, Urdu: منتھن) was a motion picture made in Hindi by Shyam Benegal based in part on the White Revolution that occurred in India during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The White Revolution ushered an era of plenty from a measly amount of milk production and distribution. Aside from the great measurable success that this project was, it also demonstrated the power of "collective might". A small set of poor farmers of Kheda district in Gujarat had the vision and foresight to act in a way that was good for the society and not for the self alone.
