Superstar India by Shobhaa De Pdf

Vintage Shobhaa Dé, with scathing take-offs on everything, from the caste system to male chauvinism, from sex to social pretension . . . in other words, it's all great fun'-Economic Times Watching the preparations for independent India's 60th birthday in 2007, Dé-poised then to enter her own sixth decade-was struck by the thought, 'Surely my life has taken the same trajectory as the country's!' While she reflected on this, many more questions arose: Does India really deserve to congratulate itself? Has it lived up to the early promises it made to its people? Does Dé herself believe in India? In Superstar India, an intimate confession to her readers, Dé answers these questions and discovers a jawan-young-India, ready to find its place in today's world. Witty, passionate and gloriously opinionated, Superstar India celebrates the spirit of a nation that is certainly not about to lose its glow.

Introduction to List of highest-grossing Indian films by Gilad James, PhD Pdf

The Indian film industry, popularly known as Bollywood, is one of the largest in the world in terms of output and revenue. The Indian film industry is driven by its large domestic audience, which is estimated to be around 1.3 billion. The industry has produced several blockbusters that have earned massive revenues both in India and abroad. The list of highest-grossing Indian films is a compilation of such movies that have made a significant impact on the audience and have resulted in monumental revenues for their makers. The first Indian film, Raja Harishchandra, was made in 1913, and since then, the film industry has come a long way. From silent films to talkies, from black and white movies to Technicolor, from conventional storytelling to experimental cinema, the Indian film industry has evolved over the years. With changing times, the Indian audience has also evolved, and filmmakers have adapted themselves to cater to the changing tastes and preferences of the viewers. The List of highest-grossing Indian films is a testimony to the success of these filmmakers as it showcases the most successful and profitable movies made in India.

Studying Indian Cinema by Omar Ahmed Pdf

The case studies run chronologically from Awaara (The Vagabond, 1951) to The Elements Trilogy: Water (2005) and include films by such key figures as Satyajit Ray (The Lonely Wife), Ritwick Ghatak (Cloud Capped Star), Yash Chopra (The Wall) and Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!).

From Midnight to Glorious Morning? by Mihir Bose Pdf

Mihir Bose was born in January 1947. Eight months later, India became a modern, free nation. The country he knew growing up in the 1960s has undergone vast and radical change. India today exports food, sends space probes to Mars, and, all too often, Indian businesses rescue their ailing competitors in the West. In From Midnight to Glorious Morning?, Bose travels the length and breadth of India to explore how a country that many doubted would survive has been transformed into one capable of rivaling China as the world’s preeminent economic superpower. Multifarious challenges still continue to plague the country: although inequality and corruption are issues not unique to India, such a rapid ascent to global prominence creates a precarious position. However, as Bose outlines, this rapid ascent provides evidence that India is ever capable of making great strides in the face of great adversity. Bose’s penetrating analysis of the last seventy years asks what is yet to be done for India in order to fulfill the destiny with which it has been imbued. The predictions of doom in August 1947 have proved to be unfounded; the growth of the nation in population and capital has been exponential, and there is much to celebrate. But Bose’s nuanced, personal, and trenchant book shows that it is naïve to pretend the hoped-for bright morning has yet dawned.
