		The mass film mobilises the masses via the star-protagonist against the enemies of state and society [2].
		If the mass film is identifiable by its lower class addressee, huge budgets, star cast, populist politics and of course poor taste, the class film is presumably meant for the middle class audience, has an avowed pedagogic mission and is recognisably superior in aesthetic terms.
		The neat division between the mass and 'class film' and the audiences they presumably catered to, came under severe strain in the mid 1990s with the emergence of a popular cinema that was at once marked by a superior technical and aesthetic quality and was also successful at the box-office.

		It was against this backdrop that the Naxalite movement dealt with the independent dalit movement as one of “its” mass organisations and looked to “co-opt” it both by entering the leadership positions and by characterising it as a “partial” struggle (the metaphor used was a “stream that needs to flow back into the ocean”).
		Ironically, it was around the same period that the PWG encouraged the formation of anti-caste mass organisations, retracting their earlier stand on building separate organisations for caste.

		If the mass base is to be improved, to have only a symbolic taking up of programmes to tackle the problems of the people would be useless.

		When the decision was made to implement a mass teaching program in Malwa the original Baha'i converts of rural areas were consulted, particularly Kisan Lal and Daya Ram Malvia.

		Baha'is on the other hand are enrolled by signing or impressing their thumb print on a form which states that they accept Baha'u'llah as the manifestation (avatar) of God and recognize that in joining the Baha'i community there are principles, laws and institutions which must be obeyed.

	WHY NUTRITION IMPROVES
		On the other hand, the poor in the better-off states, such as Andhra Pradesh, may be able to derive greater benefit from such schemes (to that extent, ironically, a mismatch between IRDP inputs and state-wise poverty ratios may in fact facilitate the programme’s impact on such groups).
		The disproportionately higher share of both Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in NREP, as also the greater participation of women in the NREP may have contributed to the observed nutritional improvements in these states.
		Overall declines in poverty levels in Andhra Pradesh have been close to the average decline noted in the rest of the country as a whole, and may have contributed to some of the observed improvement in the nutrition profile.
