About the Book
Muslim Culture in Indian Cinema by Jasbir Jain is a compelling exploration of how Indian cinema has depicted Muslim identity, culture, and historical presence over more than six decades. This thought-provoking volume uses film as a lens to examine the evolution of political dynamics, public spaces, and individual anxieties that shape Muslim lives in the subcontinent.
The book delves into classical and modern cinematic portrayals—from timeless films like Mughal-e-Azam and Shatranj ke Khiladi to Saeed Mirza’s deeply personal Ammi. It discusses complex personal relationships and broader socio-cultural themes such as music, language, poetry, and the impact of partition. Cultural elements like qawwalis, Sufi philosophy, Muslim personal law, divided families, and the role of courtesans are analyzed through a cinematic perspective, offering a layered understanding of Muslim representation in popular culture.
Anisur Rahman contributes a nuanced analysis of cultural intricacies, while the collection as a whole brings together essays that challenge, inform, and expand the discourse. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars of film, cultural studies, history, and South Asian identity, offering both depth and accessibility for experts and new readers alike.
