Dance-Off Or a Battle for the Future: Dance Reality Shows in India
CHAPTER 14 DANCE-OFF, OR A BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE Dance Reality Shows in India PALLABI CHAKRAVORTY Hindu mythology tells us that a most reasonable method of settling an argument is a dance-off. The story involves two of the most powerful Hindu deities, Shiva and Kali (who are husband and wife). Once they clashed over territorial dominance of the Thillai forest in the southern part of India. Kali was the patron goddess of the forest and the temple within it. But Shiva, following his two devotees who wanted to worship him in the temple (in the form of his abstract representation called the Shiva lingam), came to dance in the forest. This basically meant that Shiva wanted to occupy the forest and oust Kali. Kali refused to leave and challenged Shiva to enter a dance competition with her on the condition that the loser would leave the forest. Lord Vishnu presided as the judge. Kali (the goddess of Shakti, or power, who is often shown naked in Hindu iconog raphy, standing on the chest of her consort Shiva, prostrated beneath her) danced fear lessly. She matched Shiva’s every move and every posture with ease and grace. Shiva, the cosmic dancer of the universe, danced his tandava nritya (the cyclic dance of cre ative destruction) with fierce intensity. They were unrelenting. They danced for days and nights, but no one won. Then Shiva performed a transgressive act. He cheated. He lifted one of his legs high above his head in what classical dance parlance calls ananda tandavam (the dance of bliss).

Partition's Hauntings and Bombay Cinema Sarah Waheed Introduction
Postcolonial Text, Vol 12, No 1 (2017) Beyond the Wounded Archive: Partition’s Hauntings and Bombay Cinema Sarah Waheed Davidson College, North Carolina, USA Introduction The year is 1949. It is only two years after independence and the Partition of India, and the first horror film of Hindi-Urdu cinema, the Gothic thriller, Mahal (The Mansion), is a box office hit. Spectators watch the following: it is a dark, stormy night just outside the city of Allahabad, and on the banks of the Yamuna River lies a desolate palatial mansion called Sangam Bhavan, which a young lawyer, Hari Shankar (Ashok Kumar) has just won in an auction. Shankar enters the mansion and is greeted by an elderly gardener who lives on the premises. He tells Shankar the tragic story of Sangam Bhavan’s former inhabitants. The original owner built the mansion for his beloved mistress, Kamini, but drowned one night when his boat capsized in the river. Kamini died pining for him. When the gardener finishes his story, he leaves Shankar alone to explore the mansion. Shankar comes across a painted portrait of the former owner of the mahal, and is stunned to discover that it bears an uncanny resemblance to himself. Suddenly, the clock strikes two. Shankar hears, and then sees, an ethereal woman singing a song of intense yearning for a lover’s return. This is the long dead Kamini (Madhubala) whose wandering spirit inhabits Sangam Bhavan. Convinced he has been re-born for the singular purpose of being re-united with Kamini, and willing to do anything to obtain her—including murder—Shankar descends into obsession, madness, grief, and finally, death.

With an enviable cast, glamorous costumes, mesmerising music and intricacy of its sets, Mughal-e- Azam beautifully captures the chronicles of Salim and Anarkali’s love story. Set in the backdrop of 16th century, Mughal-e-Azam follows the story of Prince Salim who falls in love with the exquisite commoner Anarkali in the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar. The twist in the plot is introduced when Salim's father, Akbar, disapproves of his romance and a mighty ego battle ensues. The glamour of Manish Malhotra costumes combined with the technical expertise of Broadway and original hit songs - ‘Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya’ and ‘Teri Mehfil Mein Kismat Aazma Kar’, - the production promises to be an exhilarating experience. “A classic 16th century love story presented through the lens of a modern day musical- that’s Mughal- e-Azam for you! We hope audiences love the production as much as they did, the iconic love story.

Economic Change and Community Relations in Lahore Before Partition
193 Ilyas Chattha: Life in Lahore before Partition Economic Change and Community Relations in Lahore before Partition Ilyas Chattha University of Southampton _______________________________________________________________ The city of Lahore had become one of the most important commercial and industrial centres in the Punjab by the end of British rule. Although Muslims constituted the majority of the population, it was, however, the Hindus and Sikhs who largely controlled economic activity in the city. Any territorial division of the province was likely to be grim not only for community relations but also for the city’s continued prosperity. Based on archival material, this paper firstly, seeks to explain Lahore’s colonial growth by demonstrating the ways in which the city’s urbanisation was stimulated by the development of civil lines, cantonment areas and migration, along with the ways in which its strategic location, boosted by the development of railways, assisted in its rise. It then looks at the impact of these structural changes and urban developments on the experiences of people and practices of trade and employment. Secondly, it outlines the role Hindu and Sikh trading classes were playing in the city’s socio-economic life on the eve of Partition. Finally, it assesses community relations in pre-1947 Lahore, assessing to what extent the strains of rapid urbanisation and improved means of communication impacted on religious harmony and how the growth of reformist and revivalist organisations sharpened religious identities. _______________________________________________________________ Lahore’s Colonial Development Lahore’ colonial urban development has been the focus of a number of recent studies.1 These reveal both its unique features and also the ways in which it was typical of other cities and towns.

STUDY on the IMPACT of CREATIVE LIBERTY USED in INDIAN HISTORICAL SHOWS and MOVIES H S Harsha Kumar HOD, Department of Journalis
INTERNATIONALJOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARYEDUCATIONALRESEARCH ISSN:2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR :6.514(2020); IC VALUE:5.16; ISI VALUE:2.286 Peer Reviewed and Refereed Journal: VOLUME:10, ISSUE:1(4), January :2021 Online Copy Available: www.ijmer.in STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF CREATIVE LIBERTY USED IN INDIAN HISTORICAL SHOWS AND MOVIES H S Harsha Kumar HOD, Department of Journalism, Government First Grade College Vijayanagar, Bangalore Introduction Historical references in movies, shows are the latest trends in the entertainment industry. In India there are more than 150 movies and 40 T.V shows approximately produced on the historical events and records. Many of these produced by the various makers to retell the tales of glory and valour of India’s great heroes do provide justice to the heroes to some extent. Authentic and accurate depictions for the sake of knowledge or even getting the glimpses of the history is not the outcome of these shows or movies. Various inconsistencies, differences and various inaccuracies regarding the script, scenes and execution, laymen are often misdirected towards concepts. The idea of creative liberty or artistic license used by the writers to make the best of the historical references provided may cause discrepancies or irregularities difficult to accept by the people or some intellectuals. But, to demand accuracy and authenticity from the Indian historical is, for its fans, to miss the point. The genre, after all, is that the descendant of Indian traditions of myth, folklore, ballads and popular history, which have combined to inform us more about an imagined past than an actual one.
