S2E31: A new history of Art Cinema in India ft. Dr. Rochona Majumdar

This episode of HistoryChatter is a conversation with Chicago Historian Rochona Majumdar about her new book on Indian art cinema.
Majumdar speaks about how the promoters of art cinema participated in fresh imaginations about the future of democracy and development in India.

She claims art cinema was also a way of doing history to the extent that it played around with the concept of time in special ways. She speaks at length about her reading of the works of Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, and Ritwik Ghatak.
