Forgotten Artists of Early Cinema
and The Same Name Confusion
Book 2
by
Arunkumar Deshmukh

Tens of thousands of artists have contributed to Hindi cinema since 1931. Barring a few famous ones, other are long forgotten and are destined for obscurity. By sheer determination the author has obtained information on many such artists.
There are scores of others with similar names. Their biographies and filmographies are often mixed up even in well-known books and popular websites. By deep research the author has distinguished between a lot of such cases. This is his second book on these topics. Another new chapter about some unknown facts about Hindi cinema has also been added.

Paperback, 6 by 9 in, 173 pages. Rs 450 and $7.50 (International)

As usual, first few pages may be read here

RMIM Articles 4. Classical Music

Prof Surjit Singh

As I have mentioned before, classic RMIMers ran many series for many years, there content generated at least 6,000 pages.

I had thought of compiling a big book, but considering the sheer size of the work wrote a Minibus on the 25th anniversary.

Now I am coming back to compiling books on different series.

[I think it will take about 20 books of about 300 pages each to do the job properly.]

Paperback, US Letter, 148 pages.
