About the Event

Entertainment helps shape our understanding of the world. Indian film, television and now web series are rife with courtroom and police dramas that influence our perception of these institutions.

Through the event, we will explore the representation of crime and punishment in Indian mainstream entertainment, how it affects our understanding of justice, and what impact it may have on modern democracy-building in India.
