I was looking for information on ...Dear Sushmajee:<br /><br />I was looking for information on Dr Rikhab Das Jain, who wrote a famous book on Hindi films in 1960 and found your blog!<br /><br />Let me introduce myself. I am from Panjab, have a PhD in Physics, retired, and crazy about Hindi films. I now live in San Diego, California.<br /><br />It was fascinating to read about your family's early history. I held my breath until I came to Dr Jain and his marriage to Pushpajee, your buaajee's daughter. Stuff of romance novels!<br /><br />Dr Jain's PhD thesis is on the subject "The Economic Aspects of the Film Industry in India". To my knowledge this is the second PhD thesis ever on Hindi films, the first one being by Mrs. Panna Shah published in 1950. I got it from a library and made a photocopy. I will be happy to send you a copy.<br /><br />I have a great favor to ask of you. I think this was a great thesis and deserves to be better known. I am thinking of editing it and reprinting it for the new generation. But I need permission to do so from Dr Jain's heirs. So please let me know the contact information, address, phone number etc. of the appropriate person.<br /><br />Also I have collected lots of material on Hindi films, songs, films, books, magazines etc. specially from the early days to1960. If you ever need any song, movie etc., please ask. I plan to write lots of books on Hindi films. I have already published one called "Edwina an Unsung Bollywood Dancer of the Golden Era". She used to be a background dancer who danced and acted in about 100 films and now 75 years old living in the UK. I would like to post you a copy. Please let me know your postal address.<br /><br />Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks.<br /><br />Surjit Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503993725255697433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771400170413692170.post-29653352300995955542012-08-24T14:11:38.017-04:002012-08-24T14:11:38.017-04:00very intresting......
