  • Masculinity and Transnational Hindu Identity
    Nidān, Volume 3, No. 2, December 2018, pp. 18-39 ISSN 2414-8636 Muscular Mahabharatas: Masculinity and Transnational Hindu Identity Sucheta Kanjilal University of Tampa [email protected] "Hence it is called Bharata. And because of its grave import, as also of the Bharatas being its topic, it is called Mahabharata. He who is versed in interpretations of this great treatise, becomes cleansed of every sin. Such a man lives in righteousness, wealth, and pleasure, and attains to Emancipation.” - Mahābhārata (18.5) translation by K. M. Ganguli Abstract The climax of the Sanskrit Mahābhārata is undeniably muscular, since it involves a kṣatriya family fighting a brutal but righteous war. Many 21st century Mahabharata adaptations not only emphasize the muscularity of the epic, but also flex these muscles in an arena beyond the Kurukṣetra battlefield: the world. Through an analysis of texts such as Chindu Sreedharan’s Epic Retold (2015) and Prem Panicker’s Bhimsen (2009), I suggest that the increased visibility of epic warrior narratives across global platforms indicates a desire to re-fashion a hypermasculine identity for Hindus in the transnational religio-political sphere. I see this as an attempt to distance Hinduism from Gandhi’s ‘passive resistance’ and colonial conceptions of the ‘effeminate native’. Instead, it aligns with the nationalist and global aims of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who emphasizes the importance of Hindu traditions and physical fitness for collective prosperity. While these new epic adaptations certainly broaden the reach of Hindu culture beyond national boundaries, I suggest exhuming only warrior narratives from the epic texts oversimplifies Hindu values and threatens a range of gender identities and religious affiliations.

  • Who Stole the Nobel? Page 1 of 2 the Telegraph 7/27/2011
    The Telegraph Page 1 of 2 Issue Date: Saturday , February 26 , 2011 Who stole the nobel? Suman Ghosh gears up for a satirical thriller on the nobel theft Come March and Suman Ghosh will start to steer his third film Nobel Chor, a satirical look at Tagore’s stolen medal, with Mithun in the title role. A t2 chat with the Miami-based economist-turned-director about the urban-rural divide and more... When and where do you begin Nobel Chor? The theft of the Nobel happened in Santiniketan and our protagonist Bhanu, played by Mithunda, is based in Bolpur. We went to Bolpur twice, saw a lot of places. Given the story, I wanted everything to have that feel, his house to have a certain structure, and ultimately identified a hut that belongs to someone else where we will shoot. Sudipta Chakraborty We have a lot of outdoor all over Calcutta and that’s a huge tension because of the logistics and permissions involved in filming at Gorky Sadan, Dharamtala, south Calcutta.... It’s Calcutta in 2004 because that’s when the theft happened. The character roughly remains the same but I have to be careful not to bring in the new malls and flyovers. It’s not about capturing the city but to bring out the stark contrast with a village in the interiors. How Bhanu is almost like fish out of water when he comes to Calcutta. There were some changes in the final casting… The film is entirely centred around Mithun Chakraborty. I try to keep track of actors but when I’m in Calcutta I don’t get time to watch too many television serials.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.
