From classical to contemporary dance, classical to fusion to contemporary music, classical to contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography, puppetry, the arts are in a transformational stage in India. Most of these art forms are ephemeral. Because they are linguistic and region–specific (classical dances of India for example), and often non-notated, they do not enjoy the same advantages of being written down, stored and transferred that literature and film enjoy. Classical Arts also has an undeserved reputation as being difficult to understand. Statistics informs Stake-holders that its audiences are small, despite the passion and loyalty of the artistes themselves. Indian arts media is facing challenges of its own with new writers struggling to understand or cover the “Arts” with any depth and sensitivity. Gone are traditional Sabha Organisers who nurtured the Art Forms with diligence and continuity. The new Organisers want a little bit of Bollywood in everything they touch. As also the new patrons of Culture –the Corporates. They want a lot of Bollywood and Cricket in anything they sponsor. What is dangerous is the eroding space- financial or otherwise of serious arts. Because of its media and money power, Bollywood is fast occupying the mindspace and emotional space of generations of Indians.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.
