dear friends
its exciting and heartening to see the interest in making/showing films on 
communalism. for those who wish to use existing films against 
communalism/jingoism in schools, etc, below is a list of films i made over 
the years, many of which are unfortunately still relevant. colleagues 
should forgive the listing of awards which is done not to impress u all but 
because we need to use every trick in the book to get these works out into 
the mainstream. all films are available in vhs format with hindi or english 
narration (please specify). regards, anand
