The World Before Her: women learning to kill or wear a bikini in India
Extracts from award-winning
film-maker Nisha Pahuja’s new feature-length documentary, The World
Before Her. Pahuja’s film examines the contradictory realities between a
Hindu nationalist training camp
where girls are trained to kill in self-defence and the bikini-clad
women of the Miss India pageant. Tradition and modernity are on
collision course.
