'Colourism': an Analysis of Humour and Body Politicsin Kerala's Visual Culture
IMPACT: International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL) ISSN (P): 2347-4564; ISSN (E): 2321-8878 Vol. 7, Issue 5, May 2019, 299-304 © Impact Journals POPULAR SHADES OF ‘COLOURISM’: AN ANALYSIS OF HUMOUR AND BODY POLITICSIN KERALA’S VISUAL CULTURE Liju Jacob Kuriakose Research Scholar, Department of English, NIT Puducherry, Karaikal, Tamil Nadu, India Received: 23 May 2019 Accepted: 24 May 2019 Published: 25 May 2019 ABSTRACT Indian cinema in general and Malayalam cinema in specific, with its unique beginnings in the realistic idealism of the black-and-white eraand its gradual shift in the 80’s to the imaginary male-centric spaces, is well critiqued upon as a shedding of social responsibility. Contemporary Malayalam cinema however, is praised for its‘new generation cinema’ wave, which ha sapparently shed both its fetish over rustic settings, anti-political undertones and patriarchal violence, to embrace an urban, post-political life of the supposed ‘new generation’ Malayalees. Such cinemas however, continue remain within the monochrome panorama of the old generation which refused to acknowledge the social other and continued to position the dark-skinned, short statured, plump bodies as a site of violence and humour where the physical body plays a part in the politics of subaltern subjugation. The indirect implication of course being that such bodies are not suited for a civil society, who remain incongruent with the realities of the modern spaces by either being violent and antagonistic or comic and out of place. The paper aims to broadly define and delineate the practices of casteism and visual untouchability being practiced in Malayalam visual media. -

Rajnish Rai's Allegations of a Fake Encounter in Assam Will Not Impact
Rajnish Rai’s Allegations of a Fake Encounter in Assam Will Not Impact the Impunity of India’s Security Forces KISHALAY BHATTACHARJEE 31 May 2017 Manipur state police commandoes announce resumption of curfew after a relaxation period of four hours expired in Imphal, on 6 August 2009. The language and descriptions of Rajnish Rai’s letter are eerily similar to hundreds of such reports from Assam, Manipur and Jammu and Kashmir—three states with a significant number of encounter killings. AP PHOTO Rajnish Rai is no stranger to the consequences of investigating cases of staged encounter killings. Rai, a 1992 batch officer from the Indian Police Service, first courted controversy in 2007, during his tenure as the deputy inspector general (DIG) of the Crime Investigation Department of Gujarat. In April that year, he arrested three senior IPS officers—DG Vanzara, Rajkumar Pandiyan and MN Dinesh—for the fake encounters of a gangster, Sohrabuddin Sheikh, and his wife, Kausar Bi, in November 2005. By May 2007, Rai was taken off the investigation, so that—according to a report in The Hindu—he could be prevented from “putting the arrested senior IPS officers to more embarrassment.” He was instead posted as the DIG of the State Crime Records Bureau, a non-executive post, which was followed by a transfer to another non-executive posting as the principal, Police Training (Chowky) in Junagadh. His superiors, PC Pande, then the director general of police in Gujarat and OP Mathur, who was the CID (Crime) chief, downgraded the review of his performance in his annual confidential report for the period between 1 April 2007 and 22 August 2007 from “very good” to “average.” In April 2008, the officials of Gujarat University claimed that Rai had cheated in the LLB examinations that he had appeared for and declared him failed in all subjects. -

It is a critical-historical account of the transitional era, roughly from 1998 to 2018, and examines practices and decisions taken ‘on the ground’ by film sound recordists, editors, designers and mixers. My work explores the histories and genealogies of the transition by analysing the individual, as well as collective, aesthetic concerns of film workers migrating from the celluloid to the digital age. My inquiry aimed to explore linkages between the digital turn and shifts in production practices, notably sound recording, sound design and sound mixing. The study probes the various ways in which these shifts shaped the aesthetics, styles, genre conventions, and norms of image-sound relationships in Indian cinema in comparison with similar practices from Euro-American film industries. -

PM Invites Rajinikanth To Film 'Kabali' Sequel In Malaysia From Sh Nur Shahrizad Sy Mohamed Sharer CHENNAI, March 31 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has offered Tamil film star Rajinikanth to film the sequel of 'Kabali' in Malaysia. The Malaysian prime minister said he conveyed this in a meeting with the hugely popular Indian film actor and director here today. Najib said the offer was part of a strategy to market Malaysia's beauty and uniqueness to tourists from India and increase tourist arrivals from that country. "I see the prospect of national tourism being more widely marketed in this country and that is why, I went to meet Rajinikanth and offer him to film the sequel of 'Kabali' in Malaysia. "What I saw in the film feature was the beauty of the country," he said, adding that he received a positive response from the actor over the offer. Najib said Tamil Nadu's new chief minister, Edappati Palaniswami gave an assurance of cooperation to ensure the Kuala Lumpur-Tamil Nadu relations were taken to a higher level. He said the visit also opened up more prospects for investment, with the 23 industry pioneers representing various sectors met today, showing interest to expand to Malaysia. Among the sectors with potential were medicine, education and aerospace, added the Malaysian prime minister. He said Tamil Nadu also offered Malaysian companies an opportunity to invest there, especially in the Free Trade Zone in Chennai.
