When you talk about trilogy the great Satyajit Ray's AppuTrilogy immediately comes to one's mind, and honestly till recently it was the only one I knew ever existed. Till of course I chanced upon Shyam Benegal's Ankur (1973).
Essentially these three movies depicted the feudal system in post and pre Independent India. In Ankur the oppressed peasants wife who is left to fend for by her tormenter, in Nishant the prying feudal sons of the Zamindar run their own justice system and in Manthan the village empowerment against the wishes of their feudal lord. Shyam Benegal's stress on detailing and strong social outburst is evident in all of them.
