New on our Blog Desperately seeking Shah Rukh – India’s lonely young women « Have you ever heard about Shah Rukh Khan? If you are based in the Indian subcontinent or the Gulf countries, to name just a few, the question may have been the silliest you have heard so far this year. Obviously, you know him. But many of us may still raise our eyebrows at the question. No, never heard of him. To cut a long story short, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most, if not the most, successful living legend of Bollywood cinema, with a career spanning three decades. In a country where cinema has always performed a very distinctive social role in shaping expectations and values while providing a unique escape from dire realities to many, Shah Rukh’s figure is unique in India. » Read more To the blog overview Save the Date: Next Guest Lecture on 10 May We are happy to invite you all to our very first distinguished guest lecture this year, which will be given by Sally Matthews from Rhodes University, South Africa.
