Screening the Idea and the Reality
by Meenakshi Bharat, Routledge. 2024
Ever since the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Mumbai-based Hindi cinema has been returning compulsively to the idea of Pakistan, sometimes as the desirable other, sometimes as the horrifying antagonist. Hindi Cinema and Pakistan traces the genesis and development of this theme in Hindi cinema in the 1950s, showcasing its relevance as a tool that both reflects and shapes how India sees its neighbour, the India–Pakistan relationship, and itself.
The book is a serious, multi-platform, multi-pronged exploration of the appearances, invocations, representations and treatment of Pakistan and Pakistanis in Hindi cinema. It follows Hindi cinema’s efforts to come to terms with the ‘idea’ and ‘reality’ of Pakistan. Through in-depth analyses of the enmity and rivalry between the two subcontinental nations in Partition films, thrillers, epic war films and sports films, to screen depictions of the shared cultural past and similarities in films on cross-border love or in films that show a reaching out through humour, this book investigates the visualization of Pakistan and contextualizes these representations within the broader frameworks of India’s political, socio-cultural and popular discourse.
The extensive reach of the in-depth textual analyses of Hindi cinema will make this volume interesting and valuable both to the lay reader and to researchers and academics of cultural studies, media and film studies, and the study of socio-psychological violence in media and culture. Routledge, 2024.

Transnation and Feminine Fluidity: New Horizon in the Fiction of Chandani Lokugé Sharon Rundle, in Claiming Space for Australian Women’s Writing Chapter, Eds Sanjukta Dasgupta & Devaleena Das. Pages 323-336
“The politics and problematics of women’s writing universally has been the unfortunate paradox not about what to write or what has been written but whether to write at all. The creative journey of Australian women writers has not been any different. The introduction investigates the very significant trajectory of the origin, growth, publication and anthologizing of Australian women’s writing that includes white, aboriginal and immigrant women’s writing with focus on identity politics and cultural politics while foregrounding gender and sexuality politics and race relations. This essay therefore can offer itself as the required exploratory preface scanning the literary landscape by identifying the existence not only of Australian women’s writing but also enlists some extremely important comprehensive volumes of such writing as well as available literary criticism.”

Lunching with Kiran Nagarkar Indian Novelist, playwright and screenwriter
By Susanne Gervay, on 8/7/2012
“Kiran Nagarkar was both loved and hated in homeland, India – one of the most significant writers of postcolonial India. One of India’s finest bilingual authors, writing in both English and Marathi, decries fundamentalism and calls religion a mental disturbance. His novels are epic – Cuckold, Ravan and Eddie, God’s Little Soldier, and just released The Extras:- the slums, the chawls, the abuses and the interwoven plots were all there in the guts and all of the city of Bombay. Kiran’s ‘In Search of Essar’ is one of the stories in Fear Factor: Terror Incognito edited by Meenakshi Bharat and Sharon Rundle (published Picador India and Australia) – an anthology where 10 Indian and 10 Australian authors wrote about the impact of terrorism from a personal perspective in narrative fiction. Included are stories by Salman Rushdie, David Malouf, Thomas Keneally and my own story Days of Thailand. [This collection is followed by a] new cross-cultural Indian-Australian anthology Alien Shores edited by Meenakshi Bharat and Sharon Rundle (published Brass Monkey)
The warm and intimate lunch with Kiran Nagarkar at the University of Western Sydney with translators, writers – Dr Sharon Rundle, Professor Ivor Indyk, Dr Roanna Gonzales – was a very special experience in sharing Kiran’s courage of his convictions.”

Reviews
Only Connect – Review by Kerryn Goldsworthy in the Sydney Morning Herald
EDITED BY SHARON RUNDLE AND MEENAKSHI BHARAT, BRASS MONKEY BOOKS
‘‘Only connect’’ is a phrase coined by E.M. Forster, whose A Passage to India remains the best novel about Anglo-Indian relations. So it’s a fitting title in a number of ways for an anthology of ‘‘short fiction about technology and us from Australia and the Indian Subcontinent’’. ‘‘Technology and us’’ is an intriguing shorthand way of describing the interventions of 21st-century technology into ordinary people’s lives. Focusing mainly on computers and cyberspace, the stories describe the central place that email, smartphones and social media hold in most people’s communicative lives. But other forms of technology also feature: dodgy hired vehicles, airport security screens, much-loved spice grinders. Highlights include the beautiful and moving story Digital Air-borne Chariots by Bem Le Hunte, Meenakshi Bharat’s very funny B Wid U Soon, and Sunil Badami’s touching, bittersweet semi-fantasy story, Leftovers.
