Filmi Jagat: A Scrapbook

Filmi Jagat A Scrapbook: Shared Universe of Early Hindi Cinema is a unique pre-Independence scrapbook and an intimate work that combines the immediacy of a private diary and the reflective distance of a carefully curated photo album. The book is a reproduction of the scrapbook in its entirety, and a discussion of the key elements that were so central to the expansion of cultural experience at the time - access to the world in the form of print artifacts such as literature and newspapers and media phenomena such as film and photography.
