Kashmir in Historic Film Footage Today’s historian depends not only on the archaeological specimens or textual documents for writing history, but a wide range of other unconventional materials that were not given much attention earlier. Some of these include photography, print and visual culture, and oral histories, among others. Cinema or film footage is another powerful source for knowing the details of our past, albeit of last one century or so. Kashmir has been recorded extensively on film since the Arrival of the film camera in India. What we have chosen here is mostly documentary footage and not fictionalised accounts of the past. We have avoided videos or films that go into the political crisis of Kashmir. |
