The thesis, of course, deals mainly with the economic aspect of the industry but this is the first time that a degree of this nature has been conferred upon a successful candidate and a lady student at that.
The lead given by the University c-f Madras should prove a pointer to the other Universities in the country.
By the way Miss Radha's interest in our film industry is not merely academical. She is an active member of the South Indian Film Chamber cf Commerce and works on its Executive Committee.
Bravo, Radha Bai! You deserve the thanks of the Indian film industry.
THE IRAQ DEPUTATION
In the furtherance of "filmindia's" agitation against the shabby deal given to the Indian films in Iraq, a deputation of the Indian Film Industry waited on 22nd November 1940 on Mr. O. K. Caroe, Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, at Delhi.
The deputation which was led by Sir Homi Mody ccnsisted of Sir Rahimtoola Chinoy, President of the Motion Picture Society of India, Mr. K. S. Hirlekar. founder of the Society, Mr. Baburao Pai, representative of the Indian Mction Picture Producers' Association and Mr. Chhotubhai Desai, representative of the Indian Motion Picture Distributors' Association.
The deputation submitted to the Foreign Secretary that when Indian films were being introduced in Iraq they did not get the chance of being censored, even in spite of petitions and representations made by the representatives of the Indian film industry to the Iraqi authorities concerned and even the courtesy of a reply was denied to an Indian, a neighbour and a citizen of a country which fought for the freedom of Iraq during the last world war.
The deputation further observed that the Indian films which have got a very limited market both in and outside the country and which are already being exhibited in South Africa, British East Africa, Malaya, Mauritius, Fiji Islands and British Guiana do not get a fair chance and treatment in Iraq not for want of quality but because of the indications that they are likely to be more popular and hit the foreign competitors, mainly American.
Moreover, if Iraq is shut to the Indian films, other countries also, such as Palestine, Syria, Trans-Jordan and Turkey are lost to the Indian pictures. This means a great loss to the struggling Indian film industry.
The Foreign Secretary gave a patient and sympathetic hearing to the deputation and promised to do hit best in the matter.
