Title of the paper : Art, Literature and Films as Modes of Expression and Resistance

Abstract: From the time immemorial, it is seen and felt that Art, Literature and Film play a vital role in expressing the various feelings like faith, frustration, gratitude, grief, identity, joy, love, opinion, outrage, regret, sympathy, thought and so on. From the primitive men till the present men, the ways of thinking and behavior seem to be the same and they like to be expressive and resistant in whatever they do and think. Before men form their own languages, they used painting as a mode of expressing their thoughts and actions and also to show their resistance to certain behavior. My recent visit to Vayanadu , Edakkal Caves in Kerala made me wonder at the paintings done on the walls of the caves in the high mountain peaks by the saints who secluded themselves in isolation and painted them to relate the truths, facts and human laws ad principles to the generations to come.
