But in the performing arts, especially acting, women artists were found in large numbers in this period. At first they acted on the stage in theatre groups. Later, with the coming of cinema, they began to act for the screen. Cinema gave them a channel for expressing their acting talent as no other medium had before. Apart from acting, some of them even began to direct films at this early stage in the history of Indian cinema. Thus, acting and film direction was not an exclusive arena of men where women were mostly subjects. It was an arena where women became the creators of this art form and they commanded a lot of fame, glory and money in this field. In this module, we will study about some of these women.

  • Attack on Sarabjit Singh Topic of the Week for Discussion
    Topic of the week for discussion: 2nd to 8th May 2013 Topic: Attack on Sarabjit Singh Mr. Sarabjit Singh is an Indian National who was convicted and sentenced to death by a court in Pakistan in 1991 for his alleged involvement in terrorist attacks in Pakistan. He has been in solitary confinement for over 19 years in a small cramp cell without insufficient space for him to stand upright. Until the recent intervention of a human rights group from Canada, Mr. Sarabjit Singh remained shackled in his cell. Mr. Sarabjit Singh has maintained his innocence from the outset. He continues to maintain he is farmer from a village near Amritsar in the Punjab, married with two daughters both of whom were toddlers at the time of his arrest. Mr. Sarabjit Singh’s Sister Mrs. Dalbir Kaur has campaigned tirelessly on behalf of her brother since his arrest and continues to do so to date. Mr. Singh does not have the benefit of a legal team in India. His current lawyer in Pakistan is Mr. Awais Sheikh who is a human rights lawyer . The original mercy petition was filed by the previous lawyer and was rejected by President Pervaiz Musharaf on the grounds- it was out of the statutory limitation period. Mr. Sheikh has filed a fresh petition with the President Asif Ali Zardari, immediately after review petition was dismissed in Supreme Court following the failure of the previous lawyer to attend the hearing. The mercy petition lodged by Mr. Sheikh is currently waiting to be determined Topic by President Asif Ali Zardari.

  • India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: the Strategic Entanglement PR Chari
    Innovative Research | Independent Analysis | Informed Opinion IPCS Debate July 2013 India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: The Strategic Entanglement PR Chari India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: The Elephant and the Dilemma of Nuclear Force Planning Vice Adm (Retd) Vijay Shankar India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: No Clear INDIA, Winners PAKISTAN D Suba Chandran AND THE India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: The Two Pots Down the Nuclear Stream NUCLEAR Rabia Akhtar RACE India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: Strengthening the Risk Reduction Measures Edited by Salma Malik Ruhee Neog India, Pakistan and the Nuclear Race: Evaluating the Response Michael Krepon 1 IPCS DEBATE, JULY 2013 2 About the Debate... 2012‐13 saw the initiation of a new category of publications entitled the IPCS Debate Series, which invites opposing arguments on issues of note. This particular compilation consists of commentaries by Indian and Pakistani analysts in response to Michael Krepon’s op‐ed piece of 4 April 2013 in The New York Times, Nuclear Race on the Subcontinent. In it, Krepon uses the Aesopian analogy of the hare and the tortoise to argue that in the nuclear race on the sub‐continent, Pakistan, the hare, will compete with dogged determination but India, the tortoise, will ultimately win. He suggests investments in cross‐border trade as the safest way to undertake a reorientation of strategic calculations that equate security with an increased nuclear arsenal, and to subsequently improve bilateral relations. It is this primary characterisation and proposition that Prof PR Chari (India), Vice Adm (Retd) Vijay Shankar (India), Dr D Suba Chandran (India), Rabia Akhtar (Pakistan) and Salma Malik (Pakistan) make assessments of in their individual commentaries.
