“Ancient Heritage

Of

India”---Documentary

With about 800 dialects and 15 officially recognized languages, several religions including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and Judaism, various styles of art, architecture, literature, music & dance and several lifestyles from the urban and rural to the tribal, India is a melting Pot of Cultural Diversity.

In Indian culture, the body is invested with various meanings. This is reflected in its rich sculptural traditions where a language of poses as well hand and leg positions developed to convey specific messages. Decorating the body is yet another way of conveying meaning.

Throughout Indian history, the kinds of costumes and Accessories worn can be seen to fulfill two criteria: Simplicity and Opulence. In either instance the choice of clothing is dependent on the person’s status, wealth and religious orientation.

Costume played a dominant role in beautifying human body in all ages. Next to language it was probably the best item to recognize a group of people belonging to a specific race or living in a particular society.

Geography, climate and racial factors have naturally had a great influence on the history of India, and consequently on the costumes worn by its people. Temples, monuments, forts and palaces of India are still vibrantly alive and evidence of our ancient culture.

"Forbidden Land"---Documentary

The Himalayas are not only the highest range in the world but are also the object of fascination for millions of people. The inaccessible mountain ranges presented a challenge to marauders, mountaineers and mystic monks in the past. But during the present times when scientific, technical and military skills have developed beyond imagination, the Himalayas have acquired greater importance for us from the viewpoint of security, strategy, integration and knowledge.

In an area, which is covered with snow for more than eight months of the year, whereper square kilometer population, is only oneand the terrain is extremely rocky and difficult what kind of economy one can expect or visualize.

 What kind of people lives in this area? What are their languages, religions, costumes and rituals? How do they cloth and adorn themselves? What kind of houses do they live in?

"Passage To Infinity"-Documentary

The foremost problem of our WORLD is Migration of villagers from rural areas to urban cities in search of livelihood, reason is very simple… lack of social developments, due to this, not only social structures, social environment and culture of the villages have been suffered but also they have now getting success in disturbing the equilibrium of social environment of urban societies by way of labourers, begging or any other way. 

Mobility and migration can be important mechanisms for social resilience, changes in social resilience and what they mean for individual well being and Environmental sustainability cannot, therefore, simply be inferred from: -

• The presence or absence of migrants in any area or community.
• The degree of labour mobility
• Or, an increase or decrease in total population over time

Now, the foremost challenge in front of us is how to preserve their ancient cultural heritage, social infrastructure and social environment, without disturbing their authentic values.

I would like to present a visual therapy and set an example & awareness, to would be migrants that nothing is impossible if you wish to do, through my film entitled “ PASSAGE TO INFINITY…………………..

            "Tribes Of India"-Docu Series

Tribal Societies are traditionally satisfied people with little aspirations of material possessions. They initialise their resources from the forests and nature without disturbing their delicate balance.

The region of Leh – Ladakh and its people were neglected in the past due to the inaccessible terrain and inhospitable climate. Except for some references in the travel accounts, perhaps no systematic and comprehensive work on the region or the inhabitants is available. But this segregation was though not desirable for long. Hence steps have been taken to integrate and develop the region.

Baltik tribes, the descendants of Celtic community, dominate this village originally from Scandinavian. These Tribal fled to the present Russia. Kazakhstan and Ukraine During a flood in the Ocean. Some of them reached this region later and called Balistan. It is said that these tribal were followers of Buddha religion till the 16^th century.

   Final print by March’11         Docu-- Drama 5 X 30’

The most fascinating period of Indian history the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the country was ruled by an extraordinarily talented dynasty of emperors. The ‘Great Moguls’, as they were known to European travelers, were masters of almost limitless power and incomparable wealth.

The Great Moghul’s – the way of life of India’s most flamboyant rulers- their sublime palaces, including the Taj Mahal; their passions for art, science and religion; and their sophisticated system of administration that stabilized the greater part of India and was later adopted by the British.

From Research desk: - “ Timur had been in the country less than six month and left behind him a carnage unprecedented in Indian’s history. Famine was the inevitable results of the destruction caused by his troops; plague followed equally certainly from the corpses they left behind them. I t was said that in Delhi nothing moved, not even a bird, for two months.
