The story of Indian cinema is like that of a
thrilling movie with new protagonists appearing
in between , unexpected twists taking place ,a lot
of cameos and some melodrama scenes in be-
tween . Afer all these years, the movie still keeps
rolling with the same thrill and the same excite-
ment.
If I am to write of the Indian cinema which is fve
times my age now ,that would not get me any-
where other than the Wikipedia article on the
same . So what am I to say about the multitude of
Indian movies that were made and are still being
made that would give my readers a peek into the
vast cultural and social treasure which we possess?
Tat was a big question I had to address to when I
started writing this article. Having watched only a
small percentage of Indian movies I hardly possess
any right to criticize them ,but what I can do is to
share my enthusiasm and the amusement which
I have always felt about all those movies .We shall
also examine the growth of Indian movies through
the pages of history .
Merchants of Dreams
History of cinema starts at a time when theatre
was the sole medium of artistic expression. Many
of the earlier theatre activists like Dadasaheb
Torne were fascinated by the new medium. J F
Madan, a Parsi businessman saw the amazing
potential this medium carried and he transformed
his theatres into theatres of a diferent kind, which
the social milieu of India had not experienced yet.
Madan owned over 175 theatres all over the coun-
try. It was in 1912 that Dadasaheb Torne made
Pundalik. Even though it was made a year before
Raja Harishchandra (1913), flm historians fnd it
difcult to call it the frst Indian movie. Te reason
being that it was premiered along with the English
movie A dead mans child and that the post pro-
duction works were done abroad .Also historians
point out that it was only a capturing of the play of
the same name and there was nothing cinematic
about it. Dadasaheb Phalke, known as the Father
of Indian Cinema was the frst one to make a
purely indigenous movie. Afer Raja Harishchan-
dra, he still worked on mythological movies and
the public were fascinated in getting to see their
fairy tales come to life on the silver screen. For
them the movies became a source of deep rooted
fantasy and it bore a dream like quality. Rapidly,
the flmmakers became glorifed merchants of
dreams.
A Nationalistic perspective
Te response that cinema was receiving from the
public, interested the national leaders of the coun-
try. Te impacts of the Swadeshi movement are
clearly seen in Phalkes later works. Phalke envi-
sioned the nationalization of cinema. He believed
that by reminding the public of their glorious past
they would rise up against the colonialist powers.
His long standing association with Bal Gangadhar
Tilak made a strong impression in his movies. It

The Grand Movie Called
Indian Cinema
was a time of repressed emotions in the country.
Te vernacular press act and the strict censorship
that the government had imposed on the theatre
and press which got extended to cinema made it
extremely difcult to make a movie. A play called
Kichakavadh which depicts the Mahabhara-
ta story of the slaying of kichaka by Bhima was
presented with strong political overtones and was
shelved .Te Cinematograph Act of 1918 was salt
in the wounds for aspiring flmmakers. Te frst
movie released by Kohinoor pictures Bhakta
Vidura (1921) was also shelved because of the
portrayal of Gandhiji as Vidura .Te movies bore
explicit symbolisms and thus faced the spite of the
censor board.
Te frst words
It was in the year 1928 that Vigathakumaran by J
C Daniel was made. Te readers would be familiar
with the trials and tribulations that the director of
the frst ever Malayalam movie faced thanks to the
recent Malayalam movie Celluloid.
Early 1930s saw the birth of a new technology.
Worlds frst talkie Te Jazz Singer (1927) had
its impact on the subcontinent by 1931 when
Ardeshir Irani made the frst talkie Alam ara.
Cinema to the public now became something that
had to be seen as well as heard. Before the advent
of the talkies, there used to be a narrator in the
cinema halls. Noted malayali novelist P. Kesha-
vdev was one among them. Sadly, Talkies were
not able to generate the furor they were supposed
to initially because they were not exploited to
their fullest then. Te themes also took a strong
deviation during this time. Instead of the cinema
with mythological proportions, movies started
catering to the sensibilities of the common
man. Tey dealt with social problems like
sati, female infanticide, poverty etc. Sant
Tukaram, a 1936 flm based on the life of Tukaram
(160850), a Varkari Sant and spiritual poet, was
screened at the 1937 edition of Venice Film Fes-
tival and thus became the frst Indian flm to be
screened at an international flm festival. Te flm
was subsequently adjudged as one of the three best
flms of the year in the World. Te Indian Peoples
Teatre Association (IPTA), an art movement
with a communist inclination, began to take shape
through the 1940s and the 1950s. Tey made
movies on social subjects like the Bengali famine
of 1943 and they promoted flm making in India.
It was also during this time a series of feminist
flms Nirbhay Nadia with a female protagonist
became popular. Even this movie had convoluted
political subtitles.
Te real new wave
Afer the independence and the partition, a new
and fresh change took place in the flm industry.
Te partition became the theme of many movies
in the decades to come. People became disillu-
sioned with the urban life and their frustration
came in the form of movies. Italian neorealist
movement found its infuence in
our country. Chetan Anands Nee-
cha Nagar (1946) which dealt with
social realism won the grand prize at the Cannes
flm festival. Tis was a time when the parallel
cinema gained momentum. Tis movement was
lead by Satyajith Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal
sen. When asked to analyse the history of Indian
cinema, flm historians resort to dividing the years
as Cinema before Pather Panchali and cinema
afer it . Such was the impact that the Ray magic
had in the world. It bought Indian cinema on the
global map.
Indian Cinema never started with Phalke. In my
book theres another name.Pather Panchali. Tats
where the real Indian cinema began- Mrinal Sen.
Owing to the huge reception the movie received,
Ray went on to make two more movies based on
11
the protagonist Apu, of which Aparajito won the
Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
Guru Dutts Pyaasa,Kaagaz ke Phool, Raj Ka-
poors Aawara,Ghataks Megha Dhaka Tara all
were gems of the time. Te word new wave has
been used to death at present, but the actual new
wave cinema began during this period where it
took on many strong topics and much experimen-
tation was done regarding flming techniques. Te
present new wave can be called as only ripples of
the past.
Meanwhile in the south, the movies were made
with strong political motives. Te parties saw the
movies as a means of popularizing their political
propaganda.
Te movies like Parashakthi, Chattrapathi shi-
vaji in the Tamil industry created path breaking
political responses. Te flmstars were given godly
proportions throughout the country .Tey later
turned to politics with widespread popularity. Te
Toppil Bhasi Dramas were made into movies.
Tey proved instrumental in the strengthening of
the communist party in Kerala.
Modern Indian Cinema
Some flmmakers such as Shyam Benegal contin-
ued to produce realistic Parallel Cinema through-
out the 1970s, alongside Satyajit Ray, Ritwik
Hatak, Mrinal Sen, Buddhadeb Dasgupta and
Gautam Ghose in Bengali cinema; Adoor Gopal-
akrishnan, Shaji N. Karun, John Abraham and G.
Aravindan in Malayalam cinema; Nirad Mohapa-
tra in Oriya cinema; and Mani Kaul, Kumar Sha-
hani, Ketan Mehta, Govind Nihalani and Vijaya
Mehta in Hindi cinema.
Te parallel cinema in India sufered severe blows
during this time and the commercial cinema
gained widespread popularity. Te landmark of
Indian cinema Sholay (1975) saw the rise of
Amitabh bachchan to superstardom. Another
cult movie during this time was Deewar. 1980s
onwards, commercial cinema gathered strong
momentum and, as the famous clich goes, rest is
history.
Malayalam and Bengali movies had emerged as
the two strong flm industries in the country. Tey
were able to do so because of the afuent literary
culture they had. Te establishment of Te Film
Institute in Pune also encouraged many people
to take it up as a serious profession.
Indian Film Music
In India, music has always had some religious
attachment. It was always built under the strict
social fabric of caste. However, the flm music
acted as a brilliant and necessary equalizer in
the public. Now everyone had a song to sing
without being held up by any social stigmas.
Films in general acted as a great equalizer in the
society. In Malayalam flm industry, the scores
composed by Raghavan master and Dakshin-
amoorthy Swamy were diferent in nature but
were well received by the public. Te duo of
Vayalar-Devarajan gave the audience many im-
mortal hits which were characterized by strong
lyrical quality and simple soulful music. Baburaj
started a diferent movement in the Malayalam
music industry with the usage of Hindustani
ragas. When the two ends of the nation met on
the silver screen, it gave audience something
12
inexplicable and truly novel. Te songs in the 1979
Telugu movie Sankarabharanam reinstated the
popularity of Carnatic music in general public. Pt.
Ravishankar who began his journey as a flm com-
poser in the Chetan Anands Neecha Nagar went
on to compose many soulful scores in multitude
of movies . Composers like Noushad, Salil Choud-
hary and Hemant Kumar received international
acceptance for their scores. Tey also featured
seasoned Carnatic vocalists and musicians in
their songs
which led to
popularization
of the cultur-
al heritage
the country
had. In Tamil
industry, the
actors used to
be great sing-
ers too. Stal-
warts like G N
Balasubrah-
maniam and
M S Subbu-
lakshmi were
the Nala-Damayanti couple on-screen. It was a pre
requisite to sing well in order to be a movie star at
that time.
Inspiration from the western style of music had
been there all along in the Indian flm music.
Composers like Ilaiyaraja took the best from both
worlds to render out of the world music. Pres-
ent day composers like the genius A R Rahman,
have taken inspiration from these adaptations and
evolved flm music into a new realm of delight.
Main Stream Cinema
In the documentary Love in India by Q the
director makes an interesting observation that the
classic commercial movies from the early nineties
onwards have their protagonist inspired from the
character of Krishna. Te one, who can woo the
ladies, appear naughty yet charming at the same
time, slay the villains and save the heroine, can
sing and dance with a group of people etc. Te
recent mainstream movies are a reference to that
too. If we look closely into this we can see that
the protagonists of the recent mainstream masala
movies have been inspired either from Krishna
as said before or Rama where he abandons every-
thing for his family and sufers losses only to come
out victorious in the end . Such movies have failed
in one fundamental aspect of their inspirations.
Tey have taken only the superfcialities of the
characters and nothing more. Nonetheless, great
movies are still being made in the country and we
are one of the strongest powers in the world when
it comes to flm industry. Some things can be
done from the part of the government to promote
the growth even more like enabling the develop-
ment in the technical side of movie making by
providing courses at the premier technical insti-
tutes of the country like the IITs and NITs.
Te DVD revolution and the Torrent revolution
that followed it ,has made the present generation
fnding the Indian treasure trove vastly repug-
nant. Even when the whole world lauds the Indian
movie industry, the youth these days fnd them
repulsive. With proper understanding , expo-
sure to great movies will defnitely make them
change their opinion about it. I hope the article
has helped you have some understanding of the
growth of Indian movies over the years and I hope
that I could transfer a bit of my excitement to the
readers regarding the same.
I had to cut short on many things due to the con-
straints of the space but I request my readers to
carry on the exploration to satiate your curiosity.
If you have done that, the purpose of the article is
served. I conclude by quoting the great critic Rog-
er Eberts comment on Rays Mahanagar which
can be directly attributed to Indian cinema in gen-
eral. I have so
much trouble
approaching
Rays flms as
foreign. Tey
are about
Indians,and
I am not an
Indian,but
Rays charac-
ters have more
common with
me than I do
the comic-strip
characters of
Hollywood

Te policestation was shifed to the old building.
It was midnight when we reached there. Tat was
the longest day of my life. A uniformed policeman
led us through a dimly lit path where walls were
closed on either side and ceiling low.Jessica always
had an aversion to closed spaces. Te claustropho-
bic girl held my hands tighter than ever. My mask
of bravery was beginning to move of . No! fear is
ones greatest enemy. Let it not conquer me. Fight
back... deal with this,I thought.
Te incapacious path opened to a room
painted in drill beige. It was wider than I antici-
pated. Te cracks of paint fallen down from the
wall suggested the place was unkempt and old.
Te chief will arrive shortly. Stay here,the police-
man had said.As we waited there my mind drifed
to the beginning of the day.
It started just like any other day in my
hostel. Jessiccas birthday celebration that lasted
till the days dawn made my eyelids impossible to
open.Shriya! wake up, its 7.30,Jessicas voice was
irritating me in my sleep. Hey girl are you gonna
get up? Jess shut up... Dont take away my sleep
from me, I mumbled under my breath, my eyes
slightly opening.Ok then, take my pillow,Jess
picked up her pillow and threw it right on to my
back.It hit me straight on my head .Tis was it
I thought. A fght with Jess wasnt something I
could miss. I took the pillow and threw it on to
her stomach. Afer the pillow fght that lasted for
a few minutes and the boring breakfast from the
hostel mess, we headed to our college.
We were the fnal year engineering stu-
dents at one of the most prestigious institutes of
the nation.We went to our classroom to fnd Liya,
our best friend waiting for us. Since the classes
during the afernoon session was suspended for
some reason, the three of us planned to visit Liyas
home afer the morning class. Her home was
situated in a rural village. When Liyas popular
yellow truck roared to life with the three of us in
it, it was twelve noon. She started driving so fast
that I felt I lef my stomach somewhere behind .
What is wrong with this idiot girl and her mor-

bid speed? I thought. As an answer to my silent
thought,she further accelerated the engine. And
then it happened... the vehicle was moving in
some unanticipated ways. I remember something
hitting my head and slowly closing my eyes.
When I opened them , I found myself lying
on a bed inside a white cubicle,Where am I?,I
thought. Te fan right above the bed was rotat-
ing with high speed. Speed... the speed of Liyas
truck... then I could remember its wild move-
ments. Suddenly many questions fooded into my
mind. Where am I,? What about Liya and Jess?
What happended to us?,I needed answeres. Ten
a lady dressed in white evidently a nurse, entered
the room. I shouted my questions at her. Her
eyes were kind when she answered me. You had
a road accident.Jessica is fne... she is waiing
outside, and Liya...,the nurse paused for a mo-
ment to stroke my head and then continued,She
is no more. Tat was more than my mind could
take.Her words plunged into my heart like sharp
spears and the pain was unbearable. I tore of my
glucose supply and hurried to the door. Jess was
attempting to control her sobs. When she saw me
she again bursted into tears.I couldnt fnd a way
to calm her down for I was in no state of mental
stability. While a bed was rolling towards our
way... it stopped in front of us and someone lifed
a blanket from the bed. I saw her... Liya was sleep-
ing now and forever. I stood there like a stone...
without a word to speak, without a drop to shed.
Please let the concerned people know
,said the nurse. Te only close relative known for
Liya was her father. She was immensly intimate to
him, and unraveling such a catastrophe to him was
worrying.But we lie in difculty here, in this old
building to meet her father who works as the chief
in this Police Station. We waited.. and waited. But
no one came. Afer a long time which equalled
so many hours ,the uniformed man we earlier
met entered the room. We had an information
about the chief.He encountered a road accident
this noon nearby the AB Junction. It was a yellow
truck. And he passed away,he said,impassively.
Jess repeated the words noon, AB junction and
yellow truck as if she had suddenly awaken from
a sleep. I collapsed to the chair in agony, making
sense of the images in front of me.
Her father died in the same accident . Tat
was a cruel blow. A moment of overconfdence... a
moment of carelessness.. the overspeed destroyed
everything, shattered a family. Is God so merciless
at times? Couldnt he have prevented this? Some
questions have no answers.

ar is the last situation where you would
expect to fnd humour. When negotiations
collapse, disagreements arise over geographical
borders or sensitive issues are aggravated, then
we fnd the masterminds reeling with joy as they
gear up for the time of their lives, its time for war!
Hurray folks, gather around, grab your armours,
load your weapons, lets demolish all that comes
our way! Now thats some serious entertainment
business. Finding it difcult to sink in? Perhaps you
should grab a copy Catch-22.
Bodies blown to smithereens, debris strewn all
over the places, hopes and lives shattered- thats
what our idea of war is. Syria, South Sudan, Af-
ghanistan- they are all fuming with unrest at pres-
ent. Reports of havoc unleashed in these regions
reach us every now and then. You never miss those
chances of relishing the feeting pleasure of em-
pathizing with the unfortunate beings of the
war struck nations. Tere are millions out there
battling it out, fghting till their last breath for
their cause.
Our own country may be destroyed beyond
repair! So what? Its all for the ideal!
Hundreds of innocent people may lose their
lives! Maybe, but didnt they all give it up for
the ideal? Well meet them in heaven! Te ideal,
thats what matters the most.
So whats the actual ideal that you are fghting
for? Well, eh Its the ideal, dont you dare
question it!
War is nothing but a lot of senseless chaos and
thats what you fnd described with gruesome
clarity in Joseph Hellers much acclaimed satiri-
cal novel, Catch-22. Tis unique book follows a
disjointed narrative which is savagely funny. Even
the title Catch-22 has become a by-word used to
describe a paradoxical situation from which it
is impossible to escape owing to the constraints
defned by the situation itself. Te story is set in
an aircraf base in Italy during the Second World
War. Te protagonist of the novel is Captain John
Yossarian who loathes everything about war and
believes that everyone around him is secretly plot-
ting to kill him. He tries in vain to return home
but the bureaucrats prevent him from doing so
with their shrewdly crafed catch. Once you have
fown the prescribed number of missions, you may
return home. But every time Yossarian is about
to reach that number, the number of missions
get raised. He tries to put on a pretext of being
insane but even then the catch doesnt enable him

to escape. Tis is how Doc Daneeka describes the
Catch: Orr would be crazy to fy more missions
and sane if he didnt, but if he was sane he had to
fy them. If he few them he was crazy and didnt
have to; but if he didnt want to he was sane and
had to. In short, whatever the situation is, there is
no way out. Even Yossarian is struck by the inge-
nuity of Catch-22.
Te novel is flled with a copious amount of mad-
ness; madness resplendent with hilarity, madness
which complements the repulsive reality, madness
which makes you recoil with horror and the sheer
madness of war. Trough the mayhem created by
the ensemble of absurd characters, Heller makes
the reader refect at the emptiness of their pursuits
and towards the end, it even takes the tragic route
with Yossarians disillusionment with life. Tis
realization resonates within long afer you have
fnished the book.
Man was matter. Drop him out a window, and
hell fall. Set fre to him and hell burn. Bury him
and hell rot, like other kinds of garbage. Te spirit
gone, man is garbage.
Though shrouded with lies, life has two moments of truth
One during the frst breath; the second on the last
Te race in between mutilates the sense
Of all that is pure - Honour, duty, mercy, love and hope
Millions of random choices, cumulatively design the path
I follow, haze obscuring my future, mocking my senses.
In retrospect, Years smeared with greed, anger and lust
Seems so naive, when they could have smelled of love and laughter
I sought to escape the repugnance of the world
Trough bribing deities, thousands of them
Oblivious to the fact that the world is devoid of divinity,
Which was either always absent or forsake us upon the loss of hope.
Ten it dawned upon me, that divinity is not omnipotence
But the ability and the will to reshape the world, rebuild it
Out of chaos so that its colours are never washed up, its songs,
Never out of tune, landscapes reclaimed by nature and hearts, never frail
A quest which the world deems impossible,
Tis essentially being my swan song,
All regrets gnawing on my conscience
I shout out I am a man, frail yet determined and I will be immortal
Swan Song

Interviewed by:
Prabhu B,Ramees Tattarath
39
I sit here in silence,
darkness crawled over
screams faint down
My hope is gone
Dreams of better days
Beam of light rays,
Years of stupid plays,
Cheers of late okays
All is gone.
It came into my life
When I was little.
Up-on a fzzy -vista blessed
I tried to focus; nothing ever
Solid came to view
I blinked, through the
Coloured here, and it appeared
You may call it hope.
Tat keeps all alive,
Teaches me to survive.
Became a candle in night,
and a weapon to fght.
But, everything gone.
Now, nothing is clear,
and no one to hear.
Am full of fears
and eyes are flled with tears.
And....
(A knock at the door)
HOPE

Are you afraid of the dark?
A query,self answered.
Every time my lids emrace,
I embrace the fery of my tears.
For I am blinded by the gaze of the devils
Who tore apart my vibrant canopy,
Where I wove my dreamy yarn.
As the dagger slashed my soul,
my lungs craved for more.
Wounded and bleeding,
I lapsed into the noon,
Tat doomed the rest of my wake.
Tat very noon,
Destined to change,
My world and did it too.
From the tropic where it was to go,
Went caterwauling to the arctic.
Te band on my fnger,
Te ticket to lifetime of hot, strong love
Tis would be triggered
By the walk down aisle a week later,
Went fying mercilessly down the lane
As I was ripped of the veil
And the masculine brute smeared me to the ground.
Pain sheared through me
And my ears dumb from own screams.
Gathered what was remaining,
Of my lifeless remains,
I turned home,
Whose doors were slammed on my face,
For a sin I committed not.
A parched fower, I stepped out into the dusk
Knowing not where to turn,
Who to blame and how to move on..
Te clif on my right,
Looked appealing than it did ever,
Te valley down tempted me
With his stretching arms
And I whole heartedly took his embrace
Once and forever..
The Last Embrace

REDEMPTION
Up from a past, rooted in pain
In a present not too distinct,
I live with smiling lips,
Musing an auroral future.
You may kill me by blunt words,
Or may poke me with intent gases
But all I want to let you know
- Still I live-
Dawn to dusk with a lot of happenings
Tunder and storms forcing its way in,
Clouds wandering aimlessly above me,
Hopimg for a clear and peaceful midnight.
STILL I LIVE
Books dont make me crasy,
Gos life has already made me so.
Exhausted am I, but you must know
-Still I live-
Dimness have encroached upon me
Paralysing my lively soul and body
But the truth is, without darkness
I would have never seen te stars!!
A realization- there are souls trusting me
Leaving me with no time to spare
Hands of Almighty casting shadow over me
-I must live-
I am a guilty refugee
Now in the noble hands of strength
I search for myself, my identity
Hated are those nights - the loneliness
A baby besides me, crying
My eyes are dry
But the inside, throbbing in tears
I walk, away.....
Tey tell me, India is the target
(I know India, but
Never were Indians my enemies)
I bake bread for them
Tey flled the packets with some white powder
Tey call it gold
(My mother had a golden ear ring!
And I know the colour of gold).
Tey give me guns, teach me how to fre them
Tey show me the feel of hot blood.
I managed to escape
Afer the bloody massacre
Moments of relief, at last!
Now I am a regugee
With a guilty conscience
And in the noble hands of strength.

2013 marked the 50th anniversary of one of the
most iconic yet forgotten moment that shaped the
20th century. 28th August,2013 marked 50 years
to the date at which Martin Luther King Jr deliv-
ered his stupendous I Have a Dream speech in
which he called for an end to racism in the Unit-
ed States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights
supporters from the steps of Lincoln Memorial
during the march in Washington, the speech was
a defning moment of the American Civil Rights
movement.
19th and 20th Century America was marked by
tragic and gruesome stories of slavery and racism.
Even afer the passing of the Emancipation Proc-
lamation Act of 1868,issued by the then American
President Abraham Lincoln which proclaimed
the freedom of slaves, blacks in America had to
endure a miserable time characterised by shameful
acts of racism and segregation. Te passing of the
act never really guaranteed the blacks the unalien-
able rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
as mentioned in the United States Declaration of
Independence. Blacks continued to exist in a state
of poverty, continued to be disrespected and above
all they continued to be at the receiving end of
numerous derisory and insulting attacks from the
whites. Public facilities and government services
such as education were divided into separate
white and colored domains. Characteristical-
ly, those for colored were underfunded and of
inferior quality. Laws were passed that made voter
registration more restrictive, essentially forcing
black voters of the voting rolls. Te number of
African-American voters dropped dramatically,
and they no longer were able to elect representa-
tives. Tere were increased economic oppression
of blacks, denial of economic opportunities, and
widespread employment discrimination coupled
with individual, police, paramilitary, organiza-
tional, and mob racial violence against blacks.
It is in this context that the African-American
Civil Rights Movement broke out whose sole aim
was to end racial segregation and discrimination
against black americans and enforce constitutional
voting rights to them. Martin Luther King Jr was
one of the most prominent leaders of this move-
ment. Inspired by Gandhian principles of non
violence and civil disobedience King inspired the
black community to fght against the injustices im-
posed on them by the whites. His speech delivered
from the steps of Lincoln Memorial during the
march on Washington is widely regarded as the
moment that shaped the American Civil Rights
movement. In a staggering reference to the period
post the Emancipation Proclamation Luther King
said 100 years later the Negro still is not free.
One hundred years later the life of the Negro
is still badly crippled by the manacles of segre-
gation and the chains of discrimination. One
THE
DREAM
SPEECH

hundred years later the Negro lives on a lonely
island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
material prosperity. One hundred years later
the Negro is still languished in the concerns of
American society and fnds himself in exile in
his own land.He further goes on to say Tis
sweltering summer of the Negros legitimate
discontent will not pass until there is an invigo-
rating autumn of freedom and equality. Nine-
teen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
And those who hope that the Negro needed to
blow of steam and will now be content will
have a rude awakening if the nation returns
to business as usual. And there will be nei-
ther rest nor tranquillity in America until the
Negro is granted his citizenship rights..Tese
were words that inspired an entire community,
words that awakened an entire nation. Never
before did the black community get so much
optimism and belief. Luther King instilled
bulks of confdence in the black community,
dared them to challenge the odds and made
them believe that one day they could be sitting
hand in hand next to a white.
When Martin Luther King explained his dream
in his iconic speech,it sent waves across the
world. It made an entire nation to sit up and
listen. It rejuvenated the black community, it
inspired them to fght for their lives to attain their
rights. More than anything else it made them to
dream, it made them to visualize a world where
they shall be on par with everyone else, a world
where their voice will matter as much as any-
one elses. When he said even though we face
the difculties of today and tomorrow, I still
have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in
the American dream. I have a dream that one
day this nation will rise up and live out the true
meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day even the state of
Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of
injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of freedom
and justice. I have a dream that my four little
children will one day live in a nation where they
will not be judged by the colour of their skin
but by the content of their character. I have a
dream that one day every valley shall be exalted,
and every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made plain, and the
crooked places will be made straight., it was not
merely a great choice of words, but a revolution
within itself.
50 years later, these words have hardly been
forgotten. 50 years later, these words still ring in
the minds of every American Citizen.50 years
later these words still inspire people across the
world. Quite blatant then that 50 years later the
dream that he talked about has become a reality.
Teres a monumental diference between the
United States of the 19th and 20th century and
the United States of the 21st Century.50 years ago
a person in the black community couldnt even
dream of getting into school. Today one among
them is the President of the United States.50
years ago a black man couldnt elect the repre-
sentative of his choice. Today many among them
stand for elections.50 years ago blacks were
doomed to be unwanted and useless. Today
they occupy top positions in the United States
Legislature.50 years ago they were harassed and
discriminated. Today they walk hand in hand
with the whites.50 years ago life was a burden
for the blacks. Today life is a blessing for them,
today they are living their dreams.
Of course, the colossal changes were not due
to single person. Neither was it due to the
captivating speech delivered by him. But every
revolution needs a spark. No one would ever
argue that the speech Martin Luther King de-
livered on the 28th August,1963 at the Lincoln
memorial was a glittering spark to a revolution
that transformed a nation for the good.

1. Starting from Gandhijis Self sufficient
village Economic system India has wit-
nessed the introduction of several types of
theories on socio economic development.
Sir, what is your vision of sustaionable
development? (which is the key feature of
the development strategy from the fourth
five year plan).
Personally I dont believe in the Gandhian
concept of development. Infact, he tried to intro-
duce a conept which says No to mechanisation
and technology. What I suggest is the adoption of
a pro environmental strategy of industrilaisation
in which the harmony is maintained with nature.
Tere exists several kinds of economic imbalance.
I can suggest you a book written by J.C Kumarap-
pa Te economy of violence which details such
aspects. Now what prevails here is the economy
dominated by violance.
2. Sir, please have an indepth explanation
on such an economy which is dominated by
violence. How can we approach the issue?
What solutions do you suggest?
It is nothing but the peoples violent activ-
ities against nature and society that has created
such a situation. Teir aim is to attain proft. Tis
has to be replaced with better formulations of
environmental protection. We are least bothered
about the intensive pollution over here. Industries
target limitless proft, through the exploitation of
natural resources, in a highly unscientifc way. In-
stead we require a proper utilisation of resources.
Developmental activities should be ensured with
the participation and support of local people. In
other words, development should start at the grass
root level.
3. Sir, what is your response to the existing
deficits in environmental governence? And
how far can the proposed westernghats
ecology Authority (WGEA) make changes?
(Laughs)When theres no environmental
goverance at all,how can we discuss about the def-
cits.?!
Te WGEA suggests specifc strategies
to improve the situations. I again emphasise the
involvement of local people in environmental gov-
ernance. But it depends on how they implement
it. You know the ecological and economical im-
portance of western ghats. It is a kind of ecolog-
IN

ically sensitive area and has got rich biodiversity.
In our report we suggest the allowable and to be
restricted activities in these zones by considering
its biological characteristics, attitude, inclination,
climate, chances of natural calamity, historical
importance and so on.
4. Sir, what is your opinion regarding the
influence of media and politicians on pub-
lic? Isnt it a challange to developmental
democracy?
Media is responsible in making the people
aware of the happenings around. And I think they
did the same with the western ghats protecion
reports too. Im happy that media could make
people aware of such issues. I wont comment on
the politics behind this issue since I have already
commented on it in many other media. I am not
a politican and I have no idea about the political
gains from such issues. Politicians may be having
various approches. I dont want to comment on it.
5.Sir whats your pesonal response to the
arising controversies and rumours re-
garding Gadgil Committee Report? Out of
which the most noticed was the Athirap-
pally project.
You are agencies, I understand .So you can
study the technical aspects of the same. Power
production and distribution can be brought under
study. I believe that you know about the alterna-
tives which can be suggested as far as the Athi-
rappilly project is concerned. Such issues arise
usually when the middlemen are bribed. Bribery
among contractors is a major problem.
Tere was a rumour spread that the farm-
ers shall loose their homes when the report gets
implemeted. Te only thing I have to say is that
read the report. Te people who eat the fruits of
development lead a luxurious life.
6. Government has not yet taken a com-
plete decision. Sir whats your response to
the findings of the submitted Kasturiran-
gan report.
I dont what to comment on this. As told earlier, I
had commented on this before.
7. Sir, could you please share your pesonal
experiences in Western Ghats when you
were working with the report?
Of course, I am a person who has been
attached to the Western Ghats since childhood.
I can tell you a story that happened during our
journey through the thick forests of the West-
ern Ghats, in connection with our report feld
study. Tere was an engineer in our team who
was a native of Rajastan. Obviously he was not
familiar with the creatures which inhabited the
forests. One day he had got a leech attached to
his upper arms while walking in the forest.He
didnt see it. And as you know the leech injects a
chemical which inhibits our sensitivity in the area
of bite. He went on with his survey. And during
tea time we sat together for some time. By seeing
the blood oozing out from his upper arms,this
person suddenly stood up and began to shout
hilariously!(Laughs) .Tankfully, a villager had
accompanied us. He fetched some herbal med-
icines and applied it on the engineers arms. He
was okay aferwards. Tis is an experience which i
remember always.
8. Finally sir, your message to the younger
generations.
My message to you is Empower the peo-
ple. You should be in love with the nature. Never
be selfsh.

L
o and Behold O! wise old sage
the molten manger due to mans own rage
cursed are we to grace this cage
to be born as such into the worlds bad page
Fiery arrows, knives, harpoons alike
and all the things we seem to dislike
thunder down the streets and set alight
the eden of many and more unlike
Repochement with such implications
creates recherche due to sophistications
Death and devilry are no longer hallucinations
fear and despair are new felicitations
Te country has warped through a transient rant
from peace and prosperity to a diabolical grant
Crumpled,have the pillars of faith
crippled,are the hallows of fate
Lives at large have failed to breach
Millions of souls have eloped beyond reach
Brethren have been lost a cliche to teach
and continues to be a stain you cant bleach
Corruption,extortion,asphyxiation
are mans talents with an addiction
to drugs and drinks an aggregation
of these point to our countrys dilapidation
Tears of fear and sorrow all distinct
falls by drop from the countrys instinct
Why my children do you harm me so
pronounces does she she without much ado
You have torn me now into bits apart
and demoted me from my loving heart
fattened have you my forests to chart
impured have you my waters from start
Injured lies my poor animal friends
dying for you for your latest trends
still you have failed to love and append
your serene thoughts and tries to pretend
With this stops our only motherland
pitiful of the plight that we have at hand
for soon we shall be reduced to mere sand
and no one but we shall blame our rant
Change our ways must we from now
to plant the parched lands so as to sow
and to beautify the places to go
soon shall we attain the fow
Te mother forgives all the prodigal sons
who come with folded hand that yield sans guns
and those innocent brethren whove sufered tons
picked from the furnace by Gods own tongs
A chance granted weve been by the Lord
and missing it will be more than we can aford
Te minimal suferings we will have to sufer
are nothing compared to the goods on ofer
So make a path a true one at that
waste not a second on a trivial chat
Te country needs and yearns for growth
and only you my friend can meet them both

Indeed, it is a really great attempt by the ISRO to
have launched the Mars Orbiter Mission, fondly
called Mangalyaan. Be it 3000 BC, the age of
Maharshi Bharadwaja who wrote Yantra Sarvas-
va, a treatise on machines including anti-gravity
machines and spaceships or the present day, our
motherland has always been in the forefront of
science and technology and had spread the light of
knowledge to the rest of the world!
Launched by the PSLV-C25, in its twenty ffh
fight, on November 5, 2013 from Sriharikota, the
Mangalyaan had been rotating around the Earth
until it was given that fnal extra kick through
a sling shot mechanism as it began its 750 mil-
lion kilometre
journey to Mars.
Te Spacecraf traversed beyond the Sphere of
Infuence (SOI) of Earth extending about 9,25,000
km at around 1:14 hrs (IST) on Dec 4, 2013. Each
day, the Mangalyaan will cover over 2.5 million
km hurtling into space till it is slowed down to be
captured by Mars.
One of the main objectives of the frst Indian
mission to Mars is to develop the technologies
required for design, planning, management and
operations of an interplanetary mission.
Following are the major objectives of the mission:
A. Technological Objectives:
Design and realisation of a Mars orbiter
with a capability to survive and perform Earth
bound manoeuvres, cruise phase of 300 days,
Mars orbit insertion / capture, and on-orbit
phase around Mars.
Deep space communication, navigation,
mission planning and management.
Incorporate autonomous features to han-
dle contingency situations.
B. Scientifc Objectives:
Exploration of Mars surface features,
morphology, mineralogy and Martian atmo-
sphere by indigenous scientifc instruments.
About 250 scientists from ISRO monitored its
health. Te command for the spacecraf to leave
the Earths orbit and head into the Sun-centric
orbit was executed from the Mission Operations
Center in Bangalore.
Mangalyaan
Srinath T.R | EEE

Te success of the mission can be assessed only
when the spacecraf reaches the Martian orbit on
September 24, 2014. Once it reaches Mars, the
Mangalyaan will revolve around the Red Planet
for six months and announce Indias triumph.
However, the risks are many and no country till
date has succeeded in reaching Mars on its maiden
attempt. More than half of all missions to Mars
have ended in failure, including Chinas in 2011
and Japans in 1998.
Te Rs. 450-crore mission to Mars has made inter-
national headlines, at least in part for its cost-ef-
ciency.
But, in spite of lauding ISRO, some media report-
ed this as an out breaking debate. With people
questioning the necessity of the mission and the
amount of money spent for it, the common man
would really have wondered, Was this all neces-
sary?
Te best defence to these questions came from
the mouth of the ISRO chief himself. He said,
All these people keep mum when the Indian
population spent Rs. 10, 000 Crore, bursting
crackers for Diwali. Why do they start shouting
when we spend just Rs. 450 Crore for a devel-
opmental mission??
It cannot really be understood why people turn
a blind eye towards the priceless benefts of
the mission. Te mission gives us an oppor-
tunity to showcase our prowess, thus opening
the doors for business and helping in getting
multi-billion dollar contracts. Tis is a huge
economic development. If our country gets
big contracts, it will further help in research
and development of our space programme
giving the young generation employment and
opportunity to serve the nation and utilize
their knowledge. Also, it will help India propel
to the elite club of only few countries which
possess these capabilities. India is an emerging
Space power, thanks ISRO!!
Moreover, it will be a big boost for
those scientists who have worked day and
night in the pursuit of knowledge and this
fructifes their talent, hard work and dedica-
tion. Tis should be the kind of acknowledg-
ment that they should be given so that they
can keep on working hard. Te Indian youth
should be very much aware that if we contin-
ue to progress like this and give wings to the
commitment of our scientists, they will surely
make India a hub of scientifc projects and
there will be no brain drain, as they simply
leave India for better opportunities to settle
abroad.
Finally, it is a demonstration of Indias might,
power and captivating capabilities in space
research, all of which are worth much more
than just Rs 465 Crore which was spent for the
project.

CARVING THE MOUTH ON 4-10-11
DOLMENS AT PAYAS NAGAR
(MURUKANPARA)
Murukan para is a rock mountain surround-
ed by valleys and forest areas.
We sighted around 10 to 20 Dolmens though
archeologists have sighted around 600 to 700
Dolmens in higher and lower levels of Muru-
kanpara and nearby areas. Te Dolmens we
frst sighted were in clustered form having
two to four Dolmens in each cluster. While
approaching the top of the mountain we found
many isolated Dolmens. On our arrival we ob-
served mainly two diferent types of Dolmens.
Te frst type being the ones standing exactly
above the rock, and the other being ones that
were found beneath the ground.
DOLMENOID CISTS
Dolmenoid cists are the structures standing par-
tially below the ground. The structure consists of
a bed stone which is placed about 45cms below
the ground level. The porthole is made either
centrally or eccentrically. Most of the Dolmens
we found had only one porthole. But there are
exceptions.
During our study, we were able to inter-
view an anonymous social worker Lincy,who
seemed to be interested in conserving the relics
which were of cultural signifcance.From the in-
teraction we came to know that there are mainly
four types of Dolmens.
The classifcation based on the mode of con-
struction yields Dolmens & Dolmenoid cists
while that based on arrangements divides them
into Isolated Dolmens & Clustered Dolmens
Marayoor is a hilly area located in Idukki
district in the State of Kerala. Tere exists a
mysterious element among the valleys and
hills. Ancient relics dating back to at least
10000 bc are hidden among these valleys and
hills. But even with such great signifcance,
this place has received very less attention over
the years and many questions still remain
unanswered.
Te unanswered questions served as our
primary inspiration in researching this area.
A site such as this, dating back to the stone
age, could be seen in Russia, Spain, Ireland,
Portugal, Germany, France, etc.
A DOLMEN is a stone structure prominent in
sites similar to the ones found in Marayoor.
We have embarked on this journey to try and
establish a relationship between the existence
of these structures in Marayoor and the other
previously mentioned areas. Their resemblance
still remains a huge mystery.
105
METHOD OF ERECTION
DOLMENS
Dolmens are structures standing exactly above the rock. It consists of 3 to 4 upright stones supporting
a large, fat horizontal stone known as cap stone .It also has a bed stone to support the upright stones
laterally . Dolmens were usually covered with earth or smaller stones to form a barrow. In most of the Dol-
mens the covering had weathered away leaving only the stone skeleton of the burial mount. Another thing
we noticed was a porthole in one of the upright stones. The porthole varies in size.
UNWINDING THE HIDDEN TRUTH ON 05-10-11
CISTS
Cists are underground structures with two or
more chambers inside. The average width of
a cist is about 60 centimeters and the average
depth, about 3 meters.
A newspaper report dated
to October 22, 2000
revealed the existence
of cists in Kotakulam,
Marayoor. Three of
them were excavated in a
sugarcane plantation feld. The
structure of these cists resembled very
much to that of the forementioned Dolmens. A
Stupa was excavated from one of the cists which
closely resembles the shape of the number 7.
We can infer that this cist was probably a burial
ground of a Superior of a then existing society/
community
AT KOVILKADAVU
Kovilkadavu is a small township on the banks of the river Pambar
(Taliar) and situated near the Ten-
kasinadha temple. Kovilkadavu is also
a rocky area. As we approached one
of the rocky outcrops at the back yard
of Govt. Higher Secondary School, we
witnessed around 40 to 50 Dolmens in
spread out manner.
DOLMENS AT KOVILKADAVU
Most of the Dolmens we found here were arranged in a clustered manner
with signifcant variation in height. Tere were about 2 to 4 Dolmens in
each cluster. Structurally more advanced types were found over here. Te
barrow in the former case was replaced by a platform, constructed using
stone and mud, which functions as a
basement.
Tese form a rectangular shape in plan.
Te bonding pattern they adopted is
similar to the stretcher bond. Stones are
arranged so as to minimize continuous
vertical joints. Te gaps between stone
blocks are tightly packed with small
stone pieces and earth. Stones employed for this type of construction are
having maximum bedding area.
106
TRUTH OR MYTH?
It was really a big challenge to explore the hidden truth behind these stone structures.
Here comes the thought of Back To Basics..
It still remains a mystery as to how these stone structures were erected and why these unprecedented rock
cuts are concentrated in this particular area.
As per archeological inferences, Dolmens ; the burials belong to 10000BC.
According to the head of the tribe The Muniyara was built by Pandavas with the help of demons during their exile.
These are being treated as holy places. They are beleived to be chambers for preserving grains.These are the burials
ascribed to megalithic age dating back to 10000 BC.
Other related controversies
*Why couldnt these variations in height be a result of the availability of stones?
*Te rocks over here are formed in layers. Formations of natural cracks are clearly visible over this area.
Tese layers may be separated by pragmatic methods or naturally split up rocks may be used.
*But the dwarf Dolmens again creates a confusion. Te Dolmens at Alampetty with a height of around
40 to 60 centimeters cannot be considered as shelters as there were no port holes. Hence these Dolmens
in Alampetty were probably burial grounds.
*Regardless, the Dolmens at Murukanpara and Kovilkadavu resembles a shelter. Te steps inside and
the well ventilated interior space in the adequate proportion ensures a decent living condition.
*Even then, how can we say that all the Dolmens are burials, with the only evidence obtained from a few
Dolmens being an urn?
*Is it believable that they made such an efort to erect a massive stone structure as burials? If so, why not
shelters?
*A huge stone slab with an approximate height of a human being and a port hole acting as a provision
for light and air or serving as an entrance..Arent these sufcient for a shelter?
Te cists found by archeologists from Kottakkulam are evidences of a manifest culture of a community. Te design
of spaces within these cists with chambers; and a hole which may be used for ofering food resembles the idea of
an Egyptian pyramid. As Egyptians probably believed in life afer death , the hole may have been provided for the
spirit. While observing the construction of cists we could infer that these are the contributions of people who were
more advanced in life style and culture. Te use of well dressed stones and chisel mark ,point out the transition
from Stone age to Iron age.

Cluster of Dolmens may be used by a single fam-
ily. Such clusters are concentrated in a particular
area. Tese may be remains of an unprecedented
settlement with their own culture and beliefs.
.Tis settlement is situated near river Pambar ,
which originates from Anamudi hills and fows
towards east.
Without a satisfactory explanation by the histori-
ans , controversies still exists. While these contro-
ROCK PAINTINGS AT ALAMPETTY
Marayoor and its surrounding areas do attract visitors to get involved deeply into the study of Dol-
mens.Tere are ancient rock paintings at Attala, Ezhuthuguha (the Cave of Writing), Kovilkadavu and
Manala.
Attala lies in the western part of Marayoor Township and harbors more than ninety painted motifs.It
is located at a height of 1500 meters above Mean Sea Level. Most of these paintings are abstract de-
signs and only a few carry animal and human fgures. Similarly the Ezhuthuguha paintings are inside a
sandalwood reserve forest at a height of 1000metres above Mean Sea Level. We foraged into the forest
abutting Alampetty with the help of a guide. Climbing the rocks in this place was arduous and we
sighted a row of Dolmens beside a solitary one. Tough rock paintings were well within our reach, we
sighted rock paintings at Jellimala. Te colours used were red ochre and caolin.
THE QUEST FOR TRUTH NEVER ENDS
Along with this quote, we can safely say that the thin line that exists between myth and reality is hard
to defne, and we have arrived at a two fold conclusion:
i.We have established an uncertain relation that the tall Dolmen structures were probably shelters and
that the short ones were likely used as burial grounds.
ii.To promote the research and development of this area as part of the Govt. Of Kerala Initiative.
versies persists, people at Marayoor still believe in
certain myths.
According to tribes these were structures built by
Te Pandavas with the help of demons during
their exile. Tey treated these as a holy place and
calls the structure as Muniyaras. Tey also be-
lieve that the cave near Tenkasinatha temple
served as a transition or connecting space between
Marayoor and Madurai.Others believed that these
were the shelters where Rama and Sita stayed
during their exile.
Te area is rich in medicinal plants. Te natives
say that they are free from diseases. One of them
said that the rock used for Dolmens are carved out
from the rocks using the juice of a medicinal plant.
