What occupation do both Guru Dutt and Denys Arcand have in common?
Guru Dutt Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone (9 July 1925 – 10 October 1964), better known as Guru Dutt, was an Indian film director, producer and actor. He made 1950s and 1960s classics such as "Pyaasa", "Kaagaz Ke Phool", "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam" and "Chaudhvin Ka Chand". In particular, "Pyaasa" and "Kaagaz Ke Phool" are now included among the greatest films of all time, both by Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies and by the "Sight & Sound" critics' and directors' poll, where Dutt himself is included among the greatest film directors of all time.
Narayana Guru Narayana Guru, also known as Sri Narayana Guru, (c. 1854 – 20 September 1928), was a social reformer of India. He was born into a family of the Ezhava caste in an era when people from such communities, which were regarded as Avarna, faced much injustice in the caste-ridden society of Kerala. He led a reform movement in Kerala, rejected casteism, and promoted new values of spiritual freedom and social equality. He stressed the need for the spiritual and social uplift of the downtrodden by their own efforts through the establishment of temples and educational institutions. In the process, he denounced the superstitions that clouded the fundamental Hindu cultural convention of caste.
