520			_a"This volume attempts to address some of the questions that arise when considering the complex role that cinema has performed and continues to perform in the public sphere in India. The essays herein focus on issues related to the shifting responses of the colonial state, the Indian nationalists and intellectuals, and the popular press to the emerging medium of cinema and its creative potential. It also examines the threats as well as the challenges to this medium; the transitions and the continuities, the filiations and the ruptures from the colonial to the postcolonial as represented in cinema. The schisms, fissures, and conflicts of the colonial state, and later of the postcolonial nation state which is increasingly marked by the economic and cultural processes of globalization, accompanied paradoxically by bitter local and ethnic conflicts, are critically analysed in the context of the local, national, and global financial network within which cinema is located."--
