It studies how oppression still affects marginalized tribal communities even after India gained independence. The paper uses ideas from thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. The study examines how the Irular community is shown in the film as a subaltern group. They face injustice through systems like the police and law enforcement. These institutions often misuse their power against marginalized people. The story of Sengeni shows a woman"s strong struggle to find justice for her husband. At the same time, advocate Chandru helps her through legal action. Their efforts show the conflict between power and resistance in a society that often ignores the voices of the poor and oppressed. By analyzing the characters and the story of the film, the paper argues that knowledge, legal awareness, and education can bring social change. These elements help people challenge systems of oppression. Finally, the paper concludes that Jai Bhim highlights the importance of education. Education becomes a powerful tool that helps marginalized communities gain justice, dignity, and social empowerment.
