Early Radio Artists: A Pictorial: Part I
by
Aftab Datta
The Indian Listener was started in December 1935, which became Akashvani in January, 1958 in India. Besides the program, the magazine had essays on music, biographies and photos of artists, reports about musical conferences etc.
Until recently the only way to read the old issues was to visit the archives. Luckily, a lot of old issues were scanned and put on the internet. I downloaded a lot of the issues and was happy to read the articles and see old photos.
My joy knew no bounds when Vinay Pande mentioned that Aftab had painstakingly captured hundreds of photos from those issues. I immediately got in touch with him and suggested that a book should be published on this material. Very generously he sent me all the photos.
In this first part, we present about 700 images with names from A to L. Part 2 will have the rest.
Paperback 6 by 9, Black and White, 191 pages, Royalty-free, sold at printing cost.

Early Hindi Film Photo Gallery III (K-L)
N Ramaswamy
Professor Surjit Singh
Until recently, the only way to access old newspapers and magazines was to visit their offices, go through many hurdles and answer dozens of questions to actually see the old collections. Mercifully, most had been converted to microfilm for the convenience of the researchers.
Thanks to the advent of the internet and the latest digital technology, quite a few newspapers and magazines have been digitized and are available without visiting the dusty old archives. However, most of the digital collections are available only after paying hefty fees.
There are some silver lines among the clouds. Many big companies like Google and Microsoft have undertaken a massive effort to digitize every available print material and put it on the internet for free. Many world libraries, associations, museums, special collections are doing the same. A huge repository of such items in the Internet Archive.
In the first two books we presented photo galleries of filmi people from A-J. This third book covers K-L.
We had a lot of fun working on them, to capture them and making them suitable for print, organizing them. We hope that you will also enjoy this peek into the early history of the talkies.
