It is our way of transmitting to them what we have learnt from our ancestors, about our ancestors and their way of sustaining themselves and the ecosystem around them for their sustained prosperity. Also, with their names, Aditya, the name for the divine Sun and Varun, the name of the divinity for Rain, they are for us, constant reminders of how blessed this land Bharatavarsha is, to receive bountiful rain and shine consistently. Rain and Shine are what our ancestors had leveraged ingeniously which made them last across generations, as a long-lasting, prosperous civilization and a role model for millennia. Aditya and Varun seem to be telling us all, Of what use is it to complain and whine? If you do not leverage your rain and shine! It is time we also start harnessing the Rain and Shine wisely and with responsibility, for the future of this civilization as well as mankind. We get a Rainbow, Indradhanush, only when there is Rain and Shine together! It is called Indra’s Dhanush, bow, as the spectrum of colours they produce, arc the sky like a bow.

  • How Will We Get a Book in Every Child's Hand? Together
    How will we get a book in every child’s hand? Together. Annual Report 2016-2017 1 Together, we can. It would be no exaggeration to describe the year gone by as an exceptional one – not only for the expansion of our work, but also for the ways in which this expansion has taken place. We are still relatively small, but collaboration and partnerships have enabled an impact far beyond our expectations. And certainly, farther than what we could have achieved on our own. Together, we’ve managed to create more books, both, in print, as well as digital-first titles. Together, we’ve put our minds to transforming scientific and mathematical concepts into nonfiction stories. Together, we’ve translated stories for different tribes, different regions, and different countries – starting at 21 languages, our family of translators now work in 84 languages. Together, we are creating even more joyful stories as a result of content generation campaigns like Retell, Remix, Rejoice! and Spotathon. In our quest to find new ways to spread the joy of reading among children who have little or no access to supplementary reading books, we have been delighted to discover that digital distribution via our content platform, StoryWeaver, has transformed the landscape. Many organisations have begun to distribute books in their networks, by downloading them from StoryWeaver and either using them digitally or even printing them themselves. Our committed community of donors make a huge impact on thousands of children through our crowdfunding platform, Donate-a-Book, while the equally enthusiastic tribe of Pratham Books Champions, our volunteer storytellers, take the magic of storytelling to more and more kids each year.

  • Satyajit Ray's Documentary Film “Rabindranath”
    EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH, VOL. I, ISSUE 6/ SEPEMBER 2013 ISSN 2286-4822, www.euacademic.org IMPACT FACTOR: 0.485 (GIF) Satyajit Ray’s Documentary Film “Rabindranath” : A Saga of Creative Excellence RATAN BHATTACHARJEE India Satyajit‟s Ray’s documentary film „Rabindranath‟ was a saga of creative excellence. Its wide range of conception is simply amazing. It is something more profound than a mere documentary. Ray was conscious that he was making an official portrait of India's celebrated poet and hence the film does not include any controversial aspects of Tagore's life. However, it is far from being a propaganda film. In his poem Matthew Arnold once paid his tribute to Shakespeare in the ever inimitable words: “Others abide our question. Thou art free. /We ask and ask: Thou smilest and art still,/Out-topping knowledge.” This is equally true of Satyajit Ray‟s Tagore. We ask and go on asking and Tagore smiles and is „stillout-topping knowledge‟. In 1623 the great Shakespearean editors did their fantastic job of publishing in the Folio edition posthumously the 36 out of the 37 plays. Almost comparable to this outstanding editing venture is the task undertaken by Satyajit Ray FASC (Film and Study Center) to develop its most comprehensive archive on the worksof Satyajit Ray. The total number of Ray films like Shakespeare‟s dramas is 37. „Rabindranath‟, the 54 min B/W documentary film directed by Satyajit Ray was a saga of creative excellence for its wide range of conception .Tagore is revered by the world‟s 250 million Bengali speakers in India and neighbouring 901 Ratan Bhattacharjee – Satyajit Ray’s Documentary Film “Rabindranath”: A Saga of Creative Excellence Bangladesh.

  • Coalition Between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Coalition between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A Discourse Analysis Dr. C. M. Vinaya Kumar Assistant Professor & Head Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Krishna University Machilipatnam-521 001 91-9985085530 Romesh Chaturvedi Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, 91-9721964685 India Shruti Mehrotra Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, India 91-9451177264 Abstract The study attempts to explore dynamics of political discourse as reflected in Hindi films. Political messages in most Hindi films are concealed within entertainment. Films use thrilling & entertaining plots mixed with political content in order to convey their messages to the public. Films not only reflect reality but also construct the political ideology. The public is generally unaware of the extent to which they are being influenced, managed and conditioned by the political discourses in Hindi films. This study attempts to conduct the discourse analysis on the Hindi film “Chakravyuh” to find how politics and entertainment are merged together to influence public opinion. The film is based on the dark, largely-unexposed world of the Naxalites fighting for their land and dignity. Discourse analysis of the film will help in exploring how an entertaining film can carry a meaningful message. For over 40 years in India, since the emergence of the Naxalite rebellion, cinema has drawn inspiration from the rupture caused by this iconic movement in Indian political history. Hindi films seem to have woken up to Naxalism, or Maoism, as it is more commonly known today.

  • States of Affect: Trauma in Partition/Post-Partition South Asia
    STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT STATES OF AFFECT: TRAUMA IN PARTITION/POST-PARTITION SOUTH ASIA By Rituparna Mitra The Partition of the Indian subcontinent – into India and Pakistan in 1947 – was one of the crucial moments marking the break between the colonial and postcolonial era. My project is invested in exploring the Partition not merely in terms of the events of August 1947, but as an ongoing process that continues to splinter political, cultural, emotional and sexual life-worlds in South Asia. My dissertation seeks to map analytical pathways to locate the Partition and the attendant formations of minoritization and sectarian violence as continuing, unfolding processes that constitute postcolonial nation-building. It examines the far-reaching presence of these formations in current configurations of politics, culture and subjectivity by mobilizing the interdisciplinary scope of affect-mediated Trauma and Memory Studies and Postcolonial Studies, in conjunction with literary analysis. My project draws on a wide range of cultural artifacts such as poetry, cantillatory performance, mourning rituals, testimonials, archaeological ruins, short stories and novels to develop a heuristic and affective re-organization of post-Partition South Asia. It seeks to illuminate through frameworks of memory, melancholia, trauma, affect and postcoloniality how the ongoing effects of the past shape the present, which in turn, offers us ways to reimagine the future. This dissertation reaches out to recent work developing a vernacular framework to analyze violence, trauma and loss in South Asia.

  • DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD for AMITABH BACHCHAN Relevant For: Pre-Specific GK | Topic: Important Prizes and Related Facts
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2019-09-25 DADASAHEB PHALKE AWARD FOR AMITABH BACHCHAN Relevant for: Pre-Specific GK | Topic: Important Prizes and Related Facts Amitabh Bachchan The country’s highest film honour, the Dadasaheb Phalke award, conferred for “outstanding contribution for the growth and development of Indian cinema” will be presented this year to Amitabh Bachchan. The first intimation of it came via a tweet by Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in which he stated that “The legend Amitabh Bachchan who entertained and inspired for two generations has been selected unanimously for #DadaSahabPhalke award. The entire country and international community is happy. My heartiest congratulations to him. @narendramodi @SrBachchan.” Timely arrival The award, very appropriately comes in the year that marks Mr. Bachchan’s golden jubilee in cinema. He made his debut in 1969 with Khwaja Ahmad Abbas’ Saat Hindustani about seven Indians attempting to liberate Goa from Portuguese colonial rule. The same year he also did the voiceover for Mrinal Sen’s Bhuvan Shome , one of the earliest films of Indian parallel cinema. Interestingly, the Dadasaheb Phalke award itself was first presented in the year of Mr. Bachchan’s debut. It was introduced by the government in 1969 to commemorate the “father of Indian cinema” who directed Raja Harishchandra (1913), India’s first feature film, and it was awarded for the first time to Devika Rani, “the first lady of Indian cinema.” One of the most influential figures in Indian cinema for the past five decades, Mr. Bachchan, with four national awards and 15 Filmfare trophies behind him, has had a many-splendoured stint in the world of entertainment.
