  • The Function of Bombay Cinema in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children
    Salman Rushdie: A Special Cluster “Taking on the Tone of a Bombay Talkie”: The Function of Bombay Cinema in Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children Deepa P. Chordiya In recent years, Bollywood movies, produced in Bombay and hugely popular in India, have enjoyed a surge of popularity worldwide.1 Praised for their lavish sets and spectacular song and dance sequences, Bombay films, and the conventions of this cinematic genre, are becom- ing increasingly mainstream. Until recently, however, the conventions of Bombay cinema were largely ridiculed, satirized or dismissed by Indian and Western critics as lacking realism. Rachel Dwyer and Divia Patel point out that the Indian term “filmi,” which means belonging to or as- sociated with film, “is seen as derogatory, suggesting something cheap and trashy” (30). Salman Rushdie’s observations about Bombay cinema reinforce this view: [m]ost Hindi movies were then and are now what can only be called trashy…[using] scripts of dreadful corniness, [looking] tawdry and garish, and [relying] on the mass appeal of its star performers and musical numbers to provide a little zing. (Step Across is Line 5–6) While Rushdie’s assessment is a highly dismissive view of Bollywood movies, Bombay cinema nevertheless figures prominently in many of his novels and functions as an important narrative device most notably in Midnight’s Children. Indeed, it is possible to argue that the fragmentary structure of Bombay cinema mirrors and elucidates the likewise frag- mentary nature of “everyday reality” in Midnight’s Children. Moreover, the suggestion that fragmentation central to cinema as well as daily life 97 Deepa P.

ENTRETIEN ALI AKBAR KHAN, LE MAÎTRE DU SAROD INDIEN* Huib Schippers En 1936, un jeune joueur de sarod fit ses débuts à la All India Music Conference de Allahabad. Ce premier concert en solo d'Ali Akbar Khan marqua le début d'une phase importante de l'histoire de la musique instrumentale indienne. Jusque là, aucun joueur de sarod n'avait su atteindre pareille maîtrise technique et artistique. Ce fut le début d'une carrière remarquable, couvrant maintenant plus de cinq décennies.
