‘Maa Kaali’ claims to lay bare the ‘erased history’ of the 1946 Calcutta riots, but Raima Sen-starrer is also catching flak as a ‘propaganda’ film that’s exploiting a painful past.
The film conveniently glosses over the plight of doctors, offering the simplistic view that one vaccine solved all of the administrative problems India suffered during the Covid crisis.
Through film, textile, scent, sound, and gesture, spectators are invited to descend into an immersive environment where inherited knowledge seeps through material and form.
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
