Synopsis
Why do Hindi films so often sing praises of Khuda, Maula, or Haji Ali, but rarely invoke Ram, Shiv, or Krishna in the same breath? Why does Bollywood, an industry rooted in a land of rich Sanatan heritage, increasingly lean into Islamic imagery while marginalizing Hindu symbolism? Is it mere coincidence, artistic choice, or part of a deeper cultural drift?
"Bollywood's Silent Shift" is a bold, well-researched, and thought-provoking exploration of the undercurrents shaping India's most powerful soft-power tool - its film industry. With a keen eye and unapologetic voice, the author examines the subtle yet persistent patterns in song lyrics, storylines, and visual representations that seem to sideline the majority's faith in the name of secularism or poetic liberty.
From iconic songs filled with Urdu verses to the glorification of specific religious motifs, this book delves into:
The historical dominance of Urdu poetry in Bollywood lyrics.
The cultural influence of Muslim lyricists and directors in shaping narratives.
The erasure or dilution of Hindu icons, rituals, and spiritual songs.
The emotional impact on Sanatan followers and the growing public concern over representation.Not a rant, but a call for balance, authenticity, and respect, this non-fiction narrative bridges cultural critique with media analysis, urging Bollywood to reflect the diverse, spiritual, and pluralistic soul of Bharat more honestly
