The film won scores of awards, including three National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards, and was described by critic Subhash K.

  • Gandhi, the Making of the Mahatma, and Gandhi, My Father
    The Tale Of Gandhi Through The Lens: An Inter-Textual Analytical Study Of Three Major Films- Gandhi, The Making Of The Mahatma, And Gandhi, My Father C.S.H.N. MURTHY, [email protected] OinamBedajit Meitei, Dapkupar TARIANG Volume 2.2 (2013) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2013.66 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract For over half a century Gandhi has been one of the favored characters of a number of films – Nine hours to Rama (1963) to Gandhi, My Father (2007). Gandhian ethos, life and teachings are frequently represented in varied ways in different films. The portrayal of Gandhi in different films can be grouped into two broad categories: i. revolving around his life, percept and practice as one category and ii. involving his ideas, ideals and views either explicitly or implicitly. Using Bingham’s (2010) discursive analysis on biopic films, the study seeks to show how Gandhi is perceived and depicted through the lenses of these three eminent directors vis-à-vis others from the point of intertextuality both ideologically and politically. Further the study would elaborate how different personal and social events in Gandhi’s life are weaved together by these directors to bring out the character of Bapu or Mahatma from Gandhi. For all the above critique, Gandhi’s autobiography-The Story of My Experiments with Truth-has been taken as a base referent. Keywords: Comparative analysis, Inter-textuality, Gandhian Ethos, Portrayal, crisscross critiquing, Mahatma, etc. CINEJ Cinema Journal : The Tale of Gandhi through the lens New articles in this journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United Volume 2.2 (2013) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2013.66 | http://cinej.pitt.edu 4 States License.

  • Analyzing South Asian Public Culture
    AGAINST FUNDAMENTALISMS: ANALYZING SOUTH ASIAN PUBLIC CULTURE By RENUKA BISHT A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Renuka Bisht This document is dedicated to my parents: Satya and Dhirendra Bisht ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to begin by thanking all the friends that have facilitated my survival during the long haul of the Ph. D. Especially, I would like to thank Rebecca Dettorre who has provided me a home away from home in Gainesville, Sangeeta Mediratta who has graciously taken my calls at all times of the day and Franklin Cason for always stopping by when I needed support. In the academic universe, Professor Maureen Turim has been an incredibly supportive dissertation director. And while all the lessons I have learnt from her may not be reflected in the text of my dissertation, they have been wide-ranging and life- changing. My committee members, Professors Swapna Banerjee, Scott Nygren and Malini Johar Schueller have also provided extensive intellectual support. I need to put in a special note of gratitude to Professor Nygren for introducing me to digital video, which I will hopefully channel into my professional future. In the academic space of Delhi, I am indebted to many teachers but want to mention some by name here: Professors Manju Jain, Malashri Lal, Badri Raina, Harish Trivedi. Their distinct ideological, methodological and humanitarian approaches have been powerful in ways that have stood the test of time. To my family too I have to acknowledge an enormous debt: my loving parents, my wise brother Ajay, my wonderful sister-in-law Shalini and my little nephew Aadi who have made the decision to return to India both exciting and straightforward.
