Message from the Instructor
My current work is on Indian horror films. But this is not how I started. My doctoral dissertation was on gender and sexuality in ancient India where I studied religious texts to analyze gender roles. My dissertation also looked at folk religion and black magic where women play a very strong role.
I have always been a pop-culture aficionado and a fan of horror cinema. I decided to use knowledge from my doctoral research to work on low budget horror flicks since folklore and folk practices play a major role in Indian horror films. Besides asking me anything related to the course if you have any questions about Bollywood and horror cinema feel free to ask me.
