  • Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
    Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

  • Manufacturing Muslim Image Through Bollywood Cinema
    Muslim South Asia Conference 28 Oct, 2013 Shiraz Sheikh Green on Silver: Manufacturing Muslim Image through Bollywood Cinema ABSTRACT: During the last decade, a series of Bollywood movies were produced which caricatured the Muslim image in a certain way. The biased portrayal grew in time when numbers of Muslim youths were framed and fabricated with false terror charges. The accumulated angst against the partisan communal profiling of Muslims outburst was protest against the movie Vishwaroopam. This has regenerated media debate about the artistic freedom and the freedom of expression. In this context, the paper focuses to analyse the portrayal of Muslims in Bollywood Cinema since 9/11. It seeks to examine the pattern of portrayal that negatively reinforces the bias against the community and also how with positive portrayal a balance is sought. For this purpose two clusters of movies are selected. One set of films produces loaded narrative that reinforces notion that ‘evil community’ is required to be contained whereas the second set producing a counter narrative. On theoretical plane the paper seeks to theorsie the prevailing phenomenon by applying two general theories. The first theory is of profitability – that is to exploit a burning issue which is easily sellable. Second, an assumption that there is politics entrenched with ideology that helped manufacture Muslim image as an enemy within to contain the bellicose threat of spread of Islam. Finally the paper tries to analyse the debates generating within the educated Muslim youths. Key Words: Bollywood Cinema, Muslim Image, Hindutava, Hindu Nationalism, Muslim Youth, Freedom of Expression, Social Media. Introduction In February of 2013 movie Vishwaroopam was in news due to protest against it by Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam and Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath.

  • Economic Growth Recorded in FY2015, Buoyed by Improved Agricultural Performance and Growth in Consumption
    Management Discussion & Analysis FY2015-16 The Indian economy remained resilient and grew by 7.6% in FY2016, making it the world’s fastest growing economy among the large economies. This was higher than 7.2% economic growth recorded in FY2015, buoyed by improved agricultural performance and growth in consumption. Economic OVERVIEW GLOBAL ECONOMY Calendar Year 2015 (CY2015) has been challenging and difficult year for the global economy. Global growth is said to pick up after a number of weak years (global economic activity remained subdued in CY2015). Global growth, estimated at 3.1% in CY2015, is projected to improve to 3.4% in CY2016 and 3.7% in CY2017. The pick-up in global activity is projected to be more gradual, especially in the emerging markets and the developing economies. In its semi-annual World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that the world economy is facing the threat of a synchronised slowdown and mounting risks including another bout of financial market turmoil, and a political backlash against globalisation. Worldwide, demand remained weak and the recent volatility in financial markets highlighted an uncertain international outlook, especially in China. “The emerging economies are slowing down, apart from India which is “doing pretty well”, Christine Lagarde, the chief of the International Monetary Fund stated. The pace of global GDP growth remained slow, driven by a collusion of multiple factors such as volatility and rebalancing in the Chinese economy. A drop in oil and other commodity prices, slowdown in emerging economies, and slow pick-up in major developed economies also contributed to the slow growth.
