  • Gandhi's Army
    GANDHI’S ARMY: DEFENDING THE HOMELESS IN WESTMINSTER Jad Adams When Martin Luther King arrived at Palam airport, New Delhi, on 10 February 1959, he made a statement: ‘To other countries I may go as a tourist, but to India I come as a pilgrim. This is because India means to me Mahatma Gandhi, a truly great man of the age.’ Jawaharlal Nehru had invited King to India specifically because he had been promoting Gandhian ideas as part of the civil rights movement. It was a recognition of King, but also a celebration that Gandhi’s thought had wider applications than the Indian independence struggle alone. King had personal reasons for coming to India as he wanted to study Gandhi’s ideas more closely. King’s success in the civil rights movement had meant he was a celebrity, and therefore in danger of becoming absorbed into American society as a safe rebel, a glorified after-dinner speaker. He rebelled against absorption in the system and yearned for a Gandhian renunciation of worldly goods. His wife Coretta, who accompanied him on the trip, said that under Gandhi’s influence, ‘If Martin had had his way, he would have taken an oath of poverty, refusing even the most basic necessities, such as a house. He felt that much of the corruption in society came from the desire to own material things.’ Coretta saw things differently, and King conceded on some possessions for the family, though he refused to own anything himself, putting their house and car in Coretta’s name. She hinted at tensions over the issue when she remarked, ‘That brand of asceticism was more than I had expected in our marriage, and it was more than I could accept.’ Knowing Gandhi King’s familiarity with Gandhi’s ideas had deep roots.

  • Gandhi, the Making of the Mahatma, and Gandhi, My Father
    The Tale Of Gandhi Through The Lens: An Inter-Textual Analytical Study Of Three Major Films- Gandhi, The Making Of The Mahatma, And Gandhi, My Father C.S.H.N. MURTHY, [email protected] OinamBedajit Meitei, Dapkupar TARIANG Volume 2.2 (2013) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2013.66 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract For over half a century Gandhi has been one of the favored characters of a number of films – Nine hours to Rama (1963) to Gandhi, My Father (2007). Gandhian ethos, life and teachings are frequently represented in varied ways in different films. The portrayal of Gandhi in different films can be grouped into two broad categories: i. revolving around his life, percept and practice as one category and ii. involving his ideas, ideals and views either explicitly or implicitly. Using Bingham’s (2010) discursive analysis on biopic films, the study seeks to show how Gandhi is perceived and depicted through the lenses of these three eminent directors vis-à-vis others from the point of intertextuality both ideologically and politically. Further the study would elaborate how different personal and social events in Gandhi’s life are weaved together by these directors to bring out the character of Bapu or Mahatma from Gandhi. For all the above critique, Gandhi’s autobiography-The Story of My Experiments with Truth-has been taken as a base referent. Keywords: Comparative analysis, Inter-textuality, Gandhian Ethos, Portrayal, crisscross critiquing, Mahatma, etc. CINEJ Cinema Journal : The Tale of Gandhi through the lens New articles in this journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United Volume 2.2 (2013) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2013.66 | http://cinej.pitt.edu 4 States License.

  • The Case of the Missing Mahatma: Gandhi and the Hindi Cinema
    AFTERLIFE The Case of the Missing Mahatma: Gandhi and the Hindi Cinema Rachel Dwyer M. K. “Mahatma” Gandhi (1869 – 1948) is regarded as the father of the Indian nation, or as Bapuji. Yet while Gandhi left many volumes of his work and many biographies have been written; his image is well known in India and throughout the world, mostly through photographs and chromolitho- graphs (Pinney 2004, chap. 6); every Indian town has his statue, and his image appears on every Indian banknote; and even an opera on his life has been com- posed (Philip Glass’s Satyagraha, 1980), there are surprisingly few Indian films about him and his role in the national drama, the historic struggle for indepen- dence, the most important event in twentieth- century India. Gandhi made the freedom struggle a popular movement in part through his manipulation of symbols such as khadi, the spinning wheel, and his dress, yet though a prolific writer, he eschewed the new medium of film for promulgating his message. Gandhi’s low opinion of cinema was recorded in his interview with the Indian Cinematograph Committee (ICC 1927 – 28): “Even if I was so minded, I should be unfit to answer your questionnaire, as I have never been to a cinema. But even to an outsider, the evil that it has done and is doing is patent. The good, if it has done any at all, remains to be proved.”1 Gandhi famously saw only part of one film in his life, Vijay Bhatt’sRam Rajya (1943); his curiosity was never aroused by the first all- Indian film, D.

But at its best, biography is the ªnest form of history. The story of individuals, their actions—heroic or tragic—and the impact of their ideas, has always fascinated me. Thus, my doctoral dissertation, “Tilak and Gokhale,” focused on the lives of the two most important leaders of India’s Nationalist Movement prior to Mahatma Gandhi, as prototypes of that movement’s “Revolu- tion” and “Reform” mainstreams.1 tilak and gokhale Lokamanya (Friend of the People) Bal Gan- gadhar Tilak was Maharashtra’s most popular journalist and cul- tural nationalist. His ªrebrand editorials inspired the ªrst Hindu Brahman assassins of Poona (now Pune), where Kesari (Lion), his Marathi-language newspaper was published. To understand Tilak, I had to learn Marathi, reading through the Kesari archives. Mara- thi was the mother tongue of both Tilak and Gokhale, but Gok- hale wrote primarily in English, whereas all of Tilak’s most impor- tant works were in Marathi. Mahatma (Great Soul] Gopal Krishna Gokhale, like Tilak, was a Chitpavan Brahman, born a decade later, learning from his bril- liant guru, Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade, to appreciate the “gifts” and beneªts of English education and British justice. Gok- hale emerged as Tilak’s primary nationalist opponent, repelled by Tilak’s Brahmanic Hindu orthodoxy as well as his violent opposi- tion to all things British.

  • 'Gandhigiri' in Visual Narration: a Study of Gandhi and Lage Raho Munna Bhai
    Commentary-1 Global Media Journal – Indian Edition Sponsored by the University of Calcutta www.caluniv.ac.in ISSN 2249 – 5835 Winter Issue/December 2018 Volume: 9/ Number: 2 THE TRANSITION OF GANDHISM TO ‘GANDHIGIRI’ IN VISUAL NARRATION: A STUDY OF GANDHI AND LAGE RAHO MUNNA BHAI By Abhishek Das Assistant Professor Department of Mass Communication University of North Bengal, West Bengal, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: In the year of sesquicentennial celebration of Gandhi’s birth anniversary the researcher through this paper proposes to study the depiction of Gandhi and his teachings as portrayed in the visual narrations. Even though Gandhi is said to have watched just two films in his lifetime, but even decades after this death in the year 1948 many filmmakers are still showing great interest in Gandhi and Gandhism to build popular visual narratives. Films have been critical in their nature and approach towards Gandhi, his life and his teachings. While some filmmakers through their works have criticized the established historical information on Gandhi, some of them attempted celebrate and romanticize Gandhism in an informative way. Richard Attenborough in his 1982 release titled ‘Gandhi’ presents the freedom fighter as national figure who agitated against the powerful British with his unparallel weapon of Ahimsa and Satyagraha to attain freedom for India. Rajkumar Hirani in his 2006 release Lage Raho Munna Bhai depicts Gandhi through the prism of knowledge of a local Mumbai gangster, who has embraced the core of Gandhism with an obvious twist of his understanding of the present day world and dealing with day to day challenges.
