Oscar-Winning 'Slumdog Millionaire:' a Boost for India's Global Image?
ISAS Brief No. 98 – Date: 27 February 2009 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’: A Boost for India’s Global Image? Bibek Debroy∗ Culture is difficult to define. This is more so in a large and heterogeneous country like India, where there is no common language and religion. There are sub-cultures within the country. Joseph Nye’s ‘soft power’ expression draws on a country’s cross-border cultural influences and is one enunciated with the American context in mind. Almost tautologically, soft power implies the existence of a relatively large country and the term is, therefore, now also being used for China and India. In the Indian case, most instances of practice of soft power are linked to language and literature (including Indians writing in English), music, dance, cuisine, fashion, entertainment and even sport, and there is no denying that this kind of cross-border influence has been increasing over time, with some trigger provided by the diaspora. The film and television industry’s influence is no less important. In the last few years, India has produced the largest number of feature films in the world, with 1,164 films produced in 2007. The United States came second with 453, Japan third with 407 and China fourth with 402. Ticket sales are higher for Bollywood than for Hollywood, though revenue figures are much higher for the latter. Indian film production is usually equated with Hindi-language Bollywood, often described as the largest film-producing centre in the world.

Indian Cinema in the Time of Celluloid : from Bollywood to the Emergency
Bollywood reality as freak show. Shilpa Gupta, The Bigg Boss Series - Stills from a Reality Show (digital photograph, 2007). 'BOLLYWOOD' 2004 The Globalized Freak Show of What Used to Be Cinema "1^ > othing in the hugely marketed hype of the 'Indian Summer' of London, 2002, was more characteristic of the season than the 'recreation' of movie star Dimple Kapadia's Bombay home on the ground floor of the London department store Selfridges, by designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. But then these were not normal times. An event that might well have seen Dimple's straight rise to the dimensions of a present-day Lola Montes, with crowds ogling at simulations of her living spaces, was here no more than an announcement of 'Bollywood at Selfridges, May 2002', to be attended by Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia. The event jostled for media coverage with a series, through the year, of other crowd-pulling shows: 'ImagineASIA' (April) at the British Film Institute, launching 'an 8-month-long, nationwide celebration of South Asian cinema. Screenings, exhibi- tions, books and talks galore!'; the 'Bombay Dreams Week' (June) to 'celebrate Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of A.R. 3 May 2002: Star Mansion.

Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance
Close-up: great international performances Kyle Stevens and Murray Pomerance Humans are storytelling creatures, and as, in the last century, the dominant medium for public narratives shift ed from theater to cinema, cinema placed the fruits of performative labor before the eyes of the world in an unprecedented way. What actors do in front of the camera remains central to the att raction of cinema for audiences, and infl uences—even marks the standard for—performance styles in other audiovisual media. Indeed, one could go further: many of the fi gures discussed in the pages that follow became cultural and mythical icons in the global consciousness of their time. Audiences care about actors, the characters they create, and the responses they engender. Performances are even the reason some fi lms are preserved. But beyond vague assertions about which performances are ineff ably great, profoundly moving, hopelessly terrible, or cringe-worthy, relatively litt le discussion of what actors really do exists, either in popular or academic fi lm criticism. Movements within the discipline of Film Studies (semiotics, psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, and so forth) tend to look fi rst to the sciences, and thus outside fi lms themselves, for legitimate—meaning objective—means of verifying claims about movies. Th is poses a problem for the analysis of performance, as we respond to and love the displays of feelings, desires, and intentions at a personal level, if also collectively. We might thus wish to grapple with questions of what makes a performance meaningful, how we can share this sense, and, in sharing, possibly come to agreement.

Ivory, James (B. 1928), and Ismail Merchant (1936-2005) by Patricia Juliana Smith
Ivory, James (b. 1928), and Ismail Merchant (1936-2005) by Patricia Juliana Smith Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Perhaps the most enduring and influential gay partnership in film history, James Ivory and Ismail Merchant are known for their visually sumptuous period pieces based on familiar literary works. So closely intertwined was this team that many assume that "Merchant Ivory" is the name of one individual. But while associated in many minds with British literary and cultural traditions, their professional and personal relationship actually brought together diverse elements of American and Indian culture. James Francis Ivory, who is the director in Merchant Ivory Productions, was born in Berkeley, California on June 7, 1928. After graduating from the University of Oregon, he received an advanced degree from the University of Southern California School of Cinema and Television in 1957. His first film was an acclaimed documentary about Venice, and his second, The Sword and the Flute, examined Indian art. In 1960, at a New York screening of this latter film, he met his future partner and collaborator. Ismail Noormohamed Abdul Rehman, later Merchant, was born December 25, 1936, in Bombay, India. He came to the United States as a student, and received an M.B.A. degree from New York University, a background that prepared him for his role as the producer and business mind of the partnership. While working for an advertising agency, he produced a film based on Indian myth, Creation of Woman (1961), which earned an Academy Award for Best Short Subject.

India-China Relations China’s President Hu Jintao arrived in India on November 20, 2006 on a fourday visit that was aimed at consolidating trade and bilateral cooperation as well as ending years of mistrust between the two Asian giants. Hu, the fi rst Chinese head of state to visit India in more than a decade, was received at the airport in New Delhi by India’s Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal. The Chinese leader held talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Delhi on a range of bilateral issues, including commercial and economic cooperation. The two also reviewed progress in resolving the protracted border dispute between the two countries. After the summit, India and China signed various pacts in areas such as trade, economics, health and education and added “more substance” to their strategic partnership in the context of the evolving global order. India and China signed as many as 13 bilateral agreements in the presence of visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The fi rst three were signed by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing. They are: (1) Protocol on the establishment of Consulates-General at Guangzhou and Kolkata. It provides for an Indian Consulate- General in Guangzhou with its consular district covering seven Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Hainan, Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

History India’S Story Is One of the Grand Epics of World History
© Lonely Planet Publications 39 History India’s story is one of the grand epics of world history. Throughout thousands of years of great civilisations, invasions, the birth of religions and countless cataclysms, India has time and again proved itself to be, in the words of its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, ‘a bundle of contradictions held together by strong but invisible threads’. Indian history has always been a work-in-progress, a constant process of reinvention and accumulation that can prove elusive for those seeking to grasp its essential essence. And yet, from its myriad upheavals, a vibrant, diverse and thoroughly modern nation has emerged, as enduring as it is dynamic and increasingly well equipped to meet the challenges of the future. INDUS VALLEY CIVILISATION The Indus Valley, straddling the modern India–Pakistan border, is the cradle of civilisation on the Indian subcontinent. The first inhabitants of this land Harappa (www.harappa were nomadic tribes who cultivated land and kept domestic animals; indeed, .com) provides an it is no leap of the imagination to wonder whether in some parts of rural illustrated yet scholarly India, little has changed.

Rajnikant in Japan The West may have the biggest stalls in the world’s media bazaar, but it is not the only player. Globalization isn’t merely another word for Americanization — and the recent expansion of the Indian entertainment industry proves it. For hundreds of millions of fans around the world, it is Bollywood — India’s film industry — not Hollywood, that spins their screen fantasies. Bollywood, based in Mumbai, has become a global industry. India’s entertainment moguls don’t merely target the billion South Asians, or desis, at home: they make slick movies, songs and TV shows for export. Attracted by a growing middle class and a more welcoming investment environment, foreign companies are flocking to Bollywood, funding films and musicians.
