Dear Ellen:
We have wonderful non-fiction documentaries on India. Here is a selected =
list from Filmakers Library:
MY MOTHER INDIA
A lively portrait of the mixed marriage beween a scholarly Sikh and his =
Australian-born wife, which unfolds against the complex social, =
political and religious events which tore the family apart. =
http://www.filmakers.com/indivs/MyMotherIndia.htm=20
DIVERTED TO DELHI
A new phenomenon in the global economy: toll-free telephone numbers are =
often answered by Indians impersonating local operators. This film =
follows a group of university graduates as they prepare themselves for =
prestigious jobs in Indian call centers, learning to speak and think =
like their international callers.
http://www.filmakers.com/indivs/DivertedtoDelhi.htm
ARRANGED MARRIAGES
A Westerner explores the institution of arranged marriages with her =
married Indian friends. She finds that there are many variations in the =
way these marriages are arranged, but in all cases, the marriage is a =
family matter, often used to reinforce the social standing of the =
family, and to preserve values from generation to generation. =
http://www.filmakers.com/indivs/ArrangedMarriages.htm
MAHARAJAH BURGER
This film takes a wry look at the cultural confrontation of East and =
West, as reflected in Hindu attitudes towards the slaughter in England =
of cows sick with Mad Cow disease. =

MEMOIRS OF A HINDU PRINCESS

modern India=B9s history from British rule through independence until =

INDIA: TURMOILS OF THE CENTURY
Using archival footage never before seen in the West, this epic film =
traces the history of the past hundred years on the Indian subcontinent =
with all of its religious, ethnic and political turbulence. =
http://www.filmakers.com/indivs/IndiaTurmoils.htm
THE TEMPLE OF DOOM
Violence erupted in the late winter of 2002 in Ayodhya, resulting in the =
deaths of six hundred people, The immediate cause was that =
fundamentalist Hindus wanted to build a temple to the god Ram on the =
same spot where ten years earlier they had destroyed a Muslim mosque.The =
film examines the anxiety with which India's Muslim population regards =
the fundamentalist Hindus, who have become less tolerant of minorities =
because they believe India should be a Hindu nation. =
