- Summary:
- Mass-produced images have long been produced and used in India by religious and nationalist movements, yet previous histories have all but ignored them. Chris Pinney examines the use of these images and the story of their production, showing that the current predicament of India cannot be understood without taking into account this complex, and until now virtually unseen, visual history.
