  • Bollywood As National(Ist) Cinema Violence, Patriotism and the National- Popular in Rang De Basanti
    Third Text, Vol. 23, Issue 6, November, 2009, 703–716 Bollywood as National(ist) Cinema Violence, Patriotism and the National- Popular in Rang De Basanti Neelam Srivastava This essay sets out to explore the relationship between violence, patrio- tism and the national-popular within the medium of film by examining the Indian film-maker Rakeysh Mehra’s recent Bollywood hit, Rang de Basanti (Paint It Saffron, 2006). The film can be seen to form part of a body of work that constructs and represents violence as integral to the emergence of a national identity, or rather, its recuperation. Rang de Basanti is significant in contemporary Indian film production for the enormous resonance it had among South Asian middle-class youth, both in India and in the diaspora. It rewrites, or rather restages, Indian nationalist history not in the customary pacifist Gandhian vein, but in the mode of martyrdom and armed struggle. It represents a more ‘masculine’ version of the nationalist narrative for its contemporary audiences, by retelling the story of the Punjabi revolutionary Bhagat Singh as an Indian hero and as an example for today’s generation. This essay argues that its recuperation of a violent anti-colonial history is, in fact, integral to the middle-class ethos of the film, presenting the viewers with a bourgeois nationalism of immediate and timely appeal, coupled with an accessible (and politically acceptable) social activism. As the 1.

The order of speaking will be that Bill Hewitt will speak first and he will be followed by Tony Koch, then the Honourable Anna Bligh and then Peter Wear. I will introduce all the speakers now so that I do not have to bob up and down as they come to the microphone. The speakers will speak for about 15 or 20 minutes back to back. After they have spoken we will give them a chance to respond to each other and then there will be an opening for questions and comments from the floor. We have a roving mike and Andrew, who is sitting at the back, will move through the audience with that. When all questions and comments are exhausted I have great pleasure to invite you to the Strangers Bar for a cash bar and free supper. At the end of this evening's proceedings Damon Blake, our Treasurer, will have a little word to say, a little commercial, about membership. I would like to start by saying that the Queensland Chapter of the Australasian Study of Parliament Group was the last chapter in Australasia to be founded in 1993 under the auspices of the Honourable Mr Speaker Fouras. We are now the largest chapter and most active chapter in Australasia.

This article examines Walter Campbell’s family background, his education, marriage, air force days, his experiences as Governor and his wide-ranging interests. It concludes with an assessment of the impact of his multi- faceted life. Sir Walter Campbell is well remembered for his term as the Governor of Queensland, particularly for his deft and effective handling of the state’s 1987 constitutional crisis, when Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen refused to resign after losing the support of his party. Campbell’s career, however, intersected with a range of historical events, including political, legal, constitutional, diplomatic and even military incidents of significance to the nation.
