A host of perpetrators made reporters and photographers, even editors, fair game as there were murders, attacks, threats, and cases filed against them for defamation, sedition, and internet- related offences. It was a year in which two journalists were shot at point blank range and killed, and one was hacked to death as police stood by and did not stop the mob. The following statistics have been compiled from The Hoot’s Free Speech Hub monitoring: Ø 3 killings of journalists which can be clearly linked to their journalism Ø 46 attacks Ø 27 cases of police action including detentions, arrests and cases filed. Ø 12 cases of threats These are conservative estimates based on reporting in the English press. The major perpetrators as the data in this report shows tend to be the police and politicians and political workers, followed by right wing activists and other non-state actors Law makers became law breakers as members of parliament and legislatures figured among the perpetrators of attacks or threats. These cases included a minister from UP who threatened to set a journalist on fire, and an MLA from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh and his brother accused of being behind a brutal attack on a magazine journalist.

  • Satyajit Ray: India Marks Centenary of Cinema Giant, but Legacy Has Multiple Interpretations by Naman Ramachandran Variety.Com , May 1, 2021 10:28Pm PT
    Satyajit Ray: India Marks Centenary of Cinema Giant, but Legacy Has Multiple Interpretations By Naman Ramachandran Variety.com , May 1, 2021 10:28pm PT Ratanshree Nirman/Roadshowfilms/Everett Collection/Gaurang Films/Bhandarkar Entertainment/Overdose Films India is celebrating the birth centenary of one of her greatest sons, Satyajit Ray, in a variety of ways. Sunday (May 2, 2021), marks the centenary of Ray, the Indian master who won an honorary Oscar in 1992, shortly before his death, and remains the country’s best known filmmaker internationally. Ray debuted with “Pather Panchali” (1955) the first part of the magisterial Apu Trilogy, which won best human document at Cannes. The Trilogy includes “Aparajito” (1956) and “Apur Sansar” (1959). Berlin was a particularly happy venue for him and he won top awards at the festival numerous times, for “Pather Panchali,” “Aparajito,” “Mahanagar” (1963), “Charulata” (1964), “Nayak” (1966) and “Ashani Sanket” (1973) At Venice he won for “Aparajito” and “Seemabaddha” (1971), culminating in a career Golden Lion in 1982. He also won a British Institute Fellowship in 1983 to go with the London Film Festival’s Sutherland Trophy for “Apur Sansar.” In 1987, the government of France made Ray a Commander of the Legion of Honor. In India, Ray’s films won 36 times at India’s National Film Awards and he was also accorded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award and the Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest film and civilian awards respectively. The Indian government has newly instituted a Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Cinema, and the country’s various film bodies are organizing year-long centenary celebrations, necessarily virtual-physical hybrids because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

  • Satyajit Ray: the 21St Century Man
    Satyajit Ray: The 21st Century Man As part of the centenary year of cinema in India celebrations, the Directorate of Film Festivals, Satyajit Ray Society and Lightcube Film Society are working together to organise a Retrospective of the director responsible for more masterpieces than any other great in Indian cinema; illustrator, painter, visualiser, author, musician, photographer, film society activist and filmmaker, Satyajit Ray. For long, Satyajit Ray’s been thought of as being symbolic of the ‘alternative’, or ‘the other’ – the notion that despite the existence of the bludgeoning mainstream industries across the country exercise almost vulgar control over markets and minds alike, there is still the possibility that a figure like Ray may exist and make films that resemble personal visions over forty years. In that, the existence of Satyajit Ray has throughout been of a figure who existed in spite of the system, instead of because of it – this evaluation of him as an artist whose being is carved out primarily through opposition or perversion is, however, terribly reductive and unmindful of the fact that after all, Ray films made not against someone, but in favour of the medium he so loved. To highlight Ray’s status as a cineaste and film-lover over his status as a ‘parallel filmmaker’, the Directorate of Film Festivals, Satyajit Ray Society and Lightcube Film Society are collaborating to organise a three-day long Retrospective of his work at Sirifort Auditorium, this runs from the 26th April to 28th April 2013. The Retrospective will feature both Satyajit Ray’s long-form work and his shorts, alongwith Mr.

  • To Get the File
    The Indian Emergency 231 THE INDIAN EMERGENCY 9 Aesthetics of State Control A confirmed plagiarist speaks of some of the FFC’s significant produc- tions as third-rate copies of third-rate foreign films. A globe-trotting socialite whose sole claim to be a critic is her access to people and places (and who ecstacizes over Manoj Kumar’s Shor) aids the big sharks by her learned associations. A self-confessed amateur, applau- ded for his bold themes, speaks of films as ‘formal exercises’ when they are not in his own blundering idiom. Others disguise their con- cern for financial return (on both ‘public’ and ‘private’ money!) in terms of mass communication. Yet another old hand at bringing humanism to the box office in outrageous costumes advises the gov- ernment to nationalize cinema before it finances films which make an attempt at speaking a radical language. Utopian ideas always subvert their own declared purpose. Even in the unlikely event of nationalization, given the honesty of our bureaucrats and the social- ism of our system, one can visualize what new monsters will emerge. Some of these suggestions and comments may, indeed, be well inten- tioned, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to sift out the cinema’s enemies from its friends. – Kumar Shahani (1974) 1 Most of these stories featured the then Information and Broadcasting Minister, Vidya Charan Shukla.

Country and Sector Background: In 1991 literacy in India was only 52 percent and one-third of children in the age group 6-11 years were out of school. The Government of India understood the task of universalization of primary education seriously and explored the possibility of resource support from bilateral and multilateral donors. The World Bank extended for the first time assistance to the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Project in 1993 and supported the national District Primary Education Program (DPEP) in 1994, followed by a series of DPEP in India. This project is seventh in the Public Disclosure Authorized series. Government of Rajasthan recognizes that primary education is key to poverty alleviation and growth, and has sought to make it an investment priority despite its current difficult fiscal situation. This effort is evident in recent improvements in literacy across the state. The literacy growth rate between 1991 and 1997 was the highest in Rajasthan at 16.5 percent compared to the other educationally backward Hindi speaking states. Preliminary analysis the 2001 Census also reveals that Rajasthan witnessed the highest increase in overall literacy rates across India for the last decade at 22.53 and 23.94 percent for males and females respectively.
