Urban Naxals: The Making of Buddha in a Traffic Jam

Exposing radical extremism through a filmmaker's journey.

If you're someone intrigued by the interplay between cinema and socio-political movements, Vivek Agnihotri's "Urban Naxals" offers an eye-opening narrative.

Description

Film-maker Vivek Agnihotri writes about his journey in making the film Buddha in a Traffic Jam and discusses the alleged nexus between a nationwide Maoist movement and supporters in urban centers such as academia and media. Naxalites are described as waging war on India with plans to overthrow the state. Urban Naxals are said to amplify their message, recruit, and wage a propaganda war through social and traditional media. The book recounts Agnihotri's own journey in college toward becoming an Urban Naxal, outlines the movement's alleged modus operandi, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Buddha in a Traffic Jam, the controversy surrounding its screening, and an exposé of the movement's influence in urban India.
