INDIA STRIKES
£79.50
Original British 17 inch x 11 inch Trade Advertisement from Kinematograph Weekly for the 1945 Bishu Sen Documentary INDIA STRIKES narrated by Cyril Chamberlain.
During WWII India became the chief Imperial reserve for an Empire under threat. India Strikes documents India’s role in the War. The tone of the film, however, is one in which the established truths of Empire were now impossible to maintain. Images of backward ‘feudal’ India are contrasted with the modern Indian city and the Indian Army. India’s contribution to the War is no longer to be depicted as a product of Empire loyalism but as step towards Indian self-governance.
