Short film about saffronization at IAAC film festFilm

The short film 'In Whose Name?' by Nandini Sikand is screening Nov. 7 at the IAAC film festival in Manhattan. Shashwati Talukdar, the film's editor, writes:

It explores the hijacking of "Indian Culture" by the right wing, something very disturbing to those of us who grew up loving the very things that took on a very sinister meaning down the road. Sometimes I wonder if I hadn't learnt classical music and dance, this co-optation would have been as disturbing as it is.

Buy tickets for 'In Whose Name?' here and for the full film festival here.
