Blind Rabbit (2020) is a film that interrogates institutionalised state power, police brutality, psychological fragmentation, the dissolution of events via multiplication, and the trail of terror that is left in their wake. The national emergency of 1975-77, the anti-Sikh pogrom, recent attacks on university students across the country, the massacre of Muslims in North East Delhi in 2020 do not appear as events that can be reported or captured fully, but as pulsing wounds. The film extends the idea of ‘blindness’ not as a loss of capacity but a ploy, a counterforce to the hubris of state histories and power. T
