It was the best and the worst of times. We had a robust, self made, independent media and entertainment industry to reflect the largest democracy in the developing world. We also had the Emergency muzzling free media and bad 80s cinema. Murphy babies were peddling irons. Maharajahs were showing us how to fly with class. Amul girls were telling us the news that mattered while wise women like Lalitaji knew what's what. And if you need added incentive, there is even a NSFW reference for every decade.

Remembering It Differently with Ramya and Rachel

Big screens, epic plays, and scandals everywhere you look! Imagine being in the balcony seat when Mughal-e-Azam was playing for the first time. Imagine going to a gig headlined by The Combustibles or The Mustangs. Imagine being jailed as a journalist but also buying the first filmi gossip magazine. Or discovering why Thakur from Sholay has no arms! On this episode of Remembering it differently with me, Ramya & me, Rachel, we’re spilling the tea on Indian media, entertainment and what it meant to go viral in the 1970s.
