The 1970s was a pivotal decade in the Indian social, cultural,
political and economic landscape: the global oil crisis, wars with
China and Pakistan in the previous decade, the Bangladesh war of
1971, labour and food shortages, widespread political corruption,
and the declaration of the state of Emergency. Amidst this backdrop
Indian cinema in both its popular and art/parallel film forms
flourished. This exciting new collection brings together original
research from across the arts and humanities disciplines that
examine the legacies of the 1970s in India's cinemas, offering an
invaluable insight into this important period. The authors argue
that the historical processes underway in the 1970s are important
even today, and can be deciphered in the aural and visual medium of
Indian cinema. The book explores two central themes: first, the
popular cinema's role in helping to construct the decade's public
culture; and second, the powerful and under-studied archive of the
decade as present in India's popular cinemas. This book is based on
a special issue of South Asian Popular Culture.
