This document discusses strategies for creating an online Tamil Christian music video targeted at the Indian diaspora. It notes that the Indian diaspora is the second largest in the world and that films are important for conveying a sense of Indianness. The rationale discussed includes the gap in Christian music videos, connecting through the internet, and featuring the singer Jeswin Samuel who has an international reach. Issues of identity, values, and socio-religious issues for the target audiences are also examined based on research interviews and literature.

“…people of Indian origin…in different
countries, share similarity of experiences
while watching Indian movies,
…construction of a global “public
culture” and an “imagined community.””
‘…cinema is…the contested site where
meanings are negotiated, traditions
made and remade, identities affirmed or
rejected’
(D Bhoopaty, quoted in IngridTherwath, “‘Shining Indians’:
Diaspora and Exemplarity in Bollywood,” in South Asia
Multidisciplinary AcademicJournal 4 (2010), 2)

Identity & Cultural Issues
26. Notes of
Interviews
(Jan 2014)
Indian youth in England, UK Indian youth inTamil Nadu,
India
British youth in England, UK
Values/attitudes towards:
Marriage Lifelong, serious
commitment, must love and
support each other, divorce
causes many problems,
against cohabitation and same
sex marriage
Mostly arranged marriages,
divorcees despised; love
marriages, cohabitation and
divorce increasing in cities
Marriage not necessary,
cohabition and divorce
common
Family Parents love and teach
children, children obey
parents, husband and wife
equal say, broken families
destroy children’s lives and
future
Parents provide for children’s
needs and pass down values,
children must obey parents,
family as first priority,
husbands have final say
Seen as less important, many
broken/ dysfunctional families,
children do not always respect
or obey parents, friends
replace family support and
may lead to gang membership
Sex/
sexuality
Sex before marriage and
homosexuality are wrong,
dating relationships usually get
out of hand, should only
commit to relationship when
seriously considering marriage
Looking at or talking to
opposite sex and dating not
allowed, homosexuality
unacceptable but now more
open in cities due to influence
from western media
Pre-marital sex (by 16yo) and
dating very common,
homosexuality not accepted by
younger teens but becoming
more accepted by older youth
27. Notes of
Interviews
(Jan 2014)
Indian youth in England, UK Indian youth inTamil Nadu,
India
British youth in England, UK
Values/attitudes towards:
Money Must be educated and work
hard to earn money,
necessary for survival but too
much will lead to greed or
abuse
Must study hard and get a
degree, full financial
dependence on parents till
after graduation, view towards
money also dependent upon
parents’ values
Equated with power and status
(having the same things that
others have is important),
being wealthy means
successful
Religious
beliefs
Strong Christian faith, attend
church regularly from young
(brought by parents), pray and
read the Bible independently
Highly spiritual, choice of
religion decided by parents,
hold on to belief for life even if
it ‘does not make sense’
Irrelevant and waste of time,
so many religions cannot all be
true so all must be false
Work and
leisure
Complete homework first
then play, but should have
small breaks when working,
too much free time is not good
Complete homework first
then play
Play more important than
studies, high dropout rate,
some youth work in order to
have money to spend on drinks
and hangout with friends
28. Importance of Family
“Hindi film consumption in the diaspora speaks to
first generation Indians desperately trying to sustain
a value system and inculcate the same in their
children that sets them apart from mainstream
society in countries like the US and UK. These
differences…are generally about tradition,
continuity, family…”
(Aswin Punathambekar, “Bollywood in the Indian-American
Diaspora,” in InternationalJournal of Cultural Studies 8 No. 2, 158)
Values of Indian diaspora
30. Importance of Family
Patriarchy

Indians at home thanks to…his retention of
core traditional and often patriarchal values.”
(Therwath, 10)

37. What about Indian films?
“Films that…aim to appear more “realistic”…do not
fare well at the box-office…filmmakers are not
overly concerned with realism.”
(Ganti, 29 & 141)
e.g. My Name is Khan
• No spectacular song-and-dance scenes except in
authentic settings (wedding, church)
• Songs played as incidental music
• Scenes where actors sing instead of mime
Disappointing ranking in India but “highest grossing
Bollywood film overseas at the time” (Wikipedia)

• Story of female suicide bomber
• “Ends in a bomb-embraced death”
”…flopped at the Indian box office” but “broke
box-office records” in the UK
(Shohini Chaudhuri, ContemporaryWorld Cinema, 172)
