“Indians, corporate land grabbers and the govt.”
These are plot lines, not metaphors for the disadvantaged, weak, powerful or otherwise. And it is a movie for goodness sake. Guess you can interpret it as a morality play or metaphor if you want to.

I see it as another guilt trip put on us by the left.
Yeah, but when your every TV show has plot lines which make the same villains out of the same people over and over and over again, it’s not about the plot lines, it’s about demonization.
Catholic stories of the saints have recurring plot lines about true Christians calling their slouching rulers towards their Christian faith, turning them into far better people. Today’s depictions of the middle ages depict nothing but hell-bent Christians defiling their faith, led by charlaitans and manipulators. Do the evil rulers represent Christianity, or the failures of nominal Christians? That’s all in what tale the story-tellers tell.
Consider Joan of Arc: Traditionally, a young girl sees how the evil and sinfulness of her nation’s army leads them to repeated defeats. She instills godliness among them, and with Christian-inspired fearlessness, they drive back the evil British who use their insincere claims to be Christian as a political weapon. But in today’s telling, she’s a charismatic transexual whose grrrrl power inspires a revolt against the patriarchy, only to be betrayed.
