Understanding the changing political landscape of the Indian film Industry

In this episode of Vichaar, we are in conversation with Tejaswini Ganti, an Associate Professor of Anthropology and core faculty in the Program in Culture & Media at New York University. Ganti draws from her experience of conducting research about the social world and filmmaking practices of the Hindi film industry since 1996. She elaborates on the percolation of the Hindu Nationalist agenda into the medium of Hindi film, and the further perpetuation of the same through their insidious portrayals of nationalism, religion and class.
