Indian News Parade
''Indian News Parade'' was a cinematic newsreel produced by the Indian government between September 1943 and April 1946. Originally named ''Indian Movietone News'', it was produced in response to the Anglo-centric newsreels created by British and American companies. It suffered a poor critical reception, and production ceased shortly after the end of World War II.
==History==
After a trip to Hollywood in 1940, film producer Ambalal Patel pitched the idea of a weekly Indian newsreel to the British Government in India. ''Indian News Parade'' was subsequently established in September 1942 by Patel and Sir Edward Villiers, under the name ''Indian Movietone News''. In an attempt to make the newsreels more accessible to the local population, Villiers intended to focus the content primarily on civil matters, a departure from other newsreels of the day which were heavily Eurocentric.〔''"British Newsreels for Overseas Countries. India''", July 1942-September 1943, INF 1/569, accessed at The National Archives.〕 Some of the other newsreels circulated in India at the time were ''British Movietone News'', ''British Paramount News'', ''United News'' and ''Gaumont British News'', which all carried a distinct British or American bias, and although sometimes dubbed into local languages, were unpopular with the Indian population.〔Sargent, Paul, ''Indian News Parade: The First Indian Newsreel'', IWM Review, No. 12 (1999), 29-35.〕
Whilst subsidised by the government, ''Indian Movietone News'' was originally intended to be independently produced and distributed. Early newsreels were produced by ''Twentieth Century Fox India'', and were largely reissued versions of ''British Movietone'' newsreels dubbed into Indian languages. These were criticised by the Ministry of Information and Film India for their failure to address the country's social issue and the developing war in Europe, and were not widely circulated.〔''Indian Movietone News 9; INF 1/569; Film India'', February 1943, 19〕 In April 1943, the Indian government issued a directive under the Defence of India Act which required Indian cinemas to show ''Indian Movietone News'' (or other newsreels directly approved by the government) in an attempt to force it on an unwilling audience, a move which was heavily disapproved of. In order to better fulfil this directive, in 1943 ''Indian Movietone News'' was scrapped and replaced with the government-controlled ''Indian News Parade'', now produced and distributed by Information Films of India.
The new newsreel ran throughout the Second World War, but in post-war India, its popularity waned amid accusations of political bias and irrelevance to modern life. In March 1946, the IFI's production budget was cut,〔''Indian Information'', 1 April 1946, 372〕 and by the end of the month it was closed down. Indian News Parade was taken over by Ambalal Patel's Central Cine Corporation, but never escaped its reputation as a government propaganda tool, and production finally stopped in September 1946.
