- Summary:
- This title traces how middle-class Indians responded to the rise of the cinema as a popular form of mass entertainment in early twentieth-century India. It draws on archival research to uncover aspirations and anxieties about the new medium, which opened up tantalising possibilities for nationalist mobilisation on the one hand and troubling challenges to the cultural authority of Indian elites on the other.
