Ahmedabad
- 1983 ----- color ----- 26 min ----- dvd
- A series of historical vignettes links today's squatters with immigrants in the past who clustered into Ahmedabad's ethnic and linguistic neighborhoods to work in the city's markets and handicrafts industries. Hindu rulers are replaced by Muslim rulers, who--in turn--are replaced by British rulers. Ahmedabad becomes a major administrative and industrial center with a new middle class of clerks, civil servants and entrepreneurs who generate their own artistic and consumer cultures. Laborers continue to migrate into Ahmedabad's ever-more-crowded slums. In independent India the struggle for fair wages continues.
- Topics: (Cities and Towns, History: Asian, South Asian Studies)
