What We Think

Taj: Divided by Blood stays remarkably non-woke for a recent release. It respects its historical subjects, avoids forced tokenism, and doesn’t use the setting to advance modern ideological talking points. A pleasant surprise in today’s entertainment landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Taj: Divided by Blood appears to prioritize complex character arcs and historical power struggles over shoehorning in modern identity politics. Casting choices are era-appropriate, with storylines focused on ambition and rivalries instead of ticking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show explores Mughal dynasty decadence and moral decline, it largely respects historical and cultural contexts, with family, tradition, and religion depicted as powerful forces instead of being subverted or mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological browbeating or overt moral uniformity; a wide variety of perspectives and flaws are portrayed, including sympathetic and antagonistic characters across the spectrum.
