Our study examines the socio-political issues presented in Indian system with reference through parallel cinema “Ek Doctor Ki Maut”. The whole story about an Indian doctor struggled for the invention of vaccine for leprosy but unfortunately because of Indian socio-political system, he could not finish his work within a stipulated time. During the time of doctor’s research 3.5 to 4.0 million people in India were suffering from leprosy. It is one of the major diseases like pox, plague and T.B., killing millions. The doctor sacrificed his whole life for the sake of humanity not for the sake of fame and money. Because of hypocrisy of other doctors, he failed to prove his invention and he is transference to a small village , so that he could not finish his research papers. We also examine how media discredits him because they are interested only in advertisement and money not in his invention. We also examine, how other countries are supportive of the doctor ,while Indian government is not. In comparison with other countries ,in India because of political system talent has less opportunities. This film portray the society of 1980s when brain drain to the west from India was very common as talented and skilled people were not valued because of corruption ,bureaucracy and a slothful government. This paper examines and critiques the period of 1970 and 1980s before the economic liberation took place and before the advent of satellite television and electric media.
