- **Event Name**: Postcolonial Bollywood and Muslim Identity | Book Talk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Postcolonial Bollywood and Muslim Identity: Production, Representation, and Reception examines how Hindi cinema has shaped, negotiated, and reframed Muslim identity in India from the post-independence period to the present. The book critically analyses cinematic narratives, industrial practices, and audience reception to reveal how nationalism, secularism, and majoritarian politics intersect within popular film culture. By situating Bollywood within broader postcolonial debates, the work offers a nuanced account of how Muslim identity has been constructed, marginalised, romanticised, and politicised on screen. 

The book talk will be delivered by Dr. Nadira Khatun, Author and Associate Professor at XIM University Bhubaneswar. Her research focuses on media, nationalism, memory, and minority representation in South Asian cinema. She has published widely on Bollywood and identity politics, and her work bridges film studies, political theory, and postcolonial scholarship. The session will be moderated by Dr. Meraj Ahmed Mubarki, Associate Professor at Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad. His academic interests include media studies, cultural politics, and minority discourse. 

The event invites scholars, students, and the wider public to reflect on cinema’s role in shaping cultural memory and national imagination in contemporary India.

All are Welcome!
