Indian documentary films have served as ventriloquists for state reason, and then as tribunes defending the people. Increasingly, over the past three decades, they have grown to include a rich repertoire of ways of linking the personal and the political, unpacking and rethinking assumptions of majority and minority, of secular realism and its critiques, and of technique and exhibition. Shweta Kishore and Kunal Ray have assembled an expansive and deeply nuanced set of essays on these issues and more, from scholars, filmmakers, and curators, reflecting the state of the art on Indian documentary film. This book is a necessary addition to any library. --Arvind Rajagopal, Media Studies, NYU
