MJoTA Friday Night Movies. MJoTA 2012 v6n1 p0511
Today is Friday, and so I have posted movies on MJoTA Friday Night Movie.
The
first movie is a delightful story from India about a man in a happy
marriage whose wife dies in London, and he does everything he can to
keep his adult children connected to India and the family, click here.
I
love India and the peoples of India. My great-grandparents, lawyer
Charles Heathfield Dodgson and his wife
Caroline Tooth Dodgson (heiress to Australian beer fortune) moved to
Dharmsala to be spiritual and act rich, because they were. India was the
birthplace of Uncle Rex and my grandfather Hubert, the young soldier in
the picture on this page. And India widowed Caroline, who moved her
sons and fortune to England, to Mayfield, and watched her fortune slowly
vanish in World War 1 (both sons survived unwounded), the Depression
and World War II.
My youngest brother is the namesake of our
great-grandfather. Charles hopped on a boat to India in 1979, when he
was 19, hopped off in Madras and spent the next year traveling around
India (he even managed to get himself into Afghanistan when the Russians
were at war) and has devoted his life to communications in Asia.
Our mother, Dr Patience Uprichard Dodgson, click here,
never went to India, but endured a lifetime of curries and Indian music
because of an abiding Dodgson love of all things Indian.
When I visited
Australia in 2010, after an absence of 21 years, the first thing
Charles did was take me to a Devali festival and to an Indian concert.
And in New Jersey, I mostly shop in an Indian supermarket, because it
makes me feel at home. And they sell real tea. And I don't drink
anything except water and tea. Story of my mother, click here.
So
because I always loved India, I love Africa. India loves Africa too.
India makes a lot of the medicines for Africa. For a page of articles
about India in Africa, click here.
