Green Cinema: Reading the Context in Select Indian Cinematic Texts
Abstract
Nature has everything for man's need but not for man's greed. This classic statement by the father of the nation sounds merely like a didactic one-liner instead of being realised as a universal thought in the present paranoia. The unquenchable thirst for material success has instigated humanity into destroying the natural green womb from where it has sprouted. The big-ticket Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar and Wall E have demonstrated the ecological concerns in an effective manner. Indian celluloid is devoid of such extravagance and romanticised imaginative depiction on a colossal scale. This chapter attempts to analyse the ambit of green Indian films. It covers the religious ethos and the modern scientific need for conserving the environment plus the intertwining of political and economic dynamics with the ecological narratives.
