  Many Indians were upset with Matrubhoomi: Jha
Manish Jha was seated with half-a-dozen first-time filmmakers at a press conference during the Toronto International Film Festival.

  A world without women
Tulip Joshi as Kaalki in Manish Jha's Matrubhoomi.
Jha's first feature film is filled not only with the shrill outrage of a young man who is shocked by the systematic decimation of girls in our feudal, son-worshipping society but also has the commitment to convey this outrage through a film that subverts conventional sensibilities.
Though Jha makes the victims of patriarchy - the oppressed woman and a lower caste servant - natural allies in their struggle to survive, it is not only the upper castes who believe it is their prerogative to treat women as worse than chattel.

Human rights groups say that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks made it much easier for law enforcement agencies around the world to apprehend those suspected of being terrorists, and led to the labeling of the Muslim community as being prone to violence.
Jha won international acclaim for his first film which he made at age 23, titled Mathrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women.
The 2003 movie touched upon the high rates of female infanticide in India, narrating the story of a village where there are no women left to marry, and one has to be bought and shared by several brothers.

Twenty four-year-old scriptwriter and director Manish Jha's film "Matrubhoomi--- A Nation Without Women" is one such film which speaks of a village were there are no women and when after several years a woman does come to that village, she is exploited by every man in his own unique way.
But even though Manish Jha's film does not have the big stars who are supposed to pull the crowds, his film has a soul and his actors are no less stars in their own right.
But the film's strongest point is its technical team from director Manish Jha himself, who won the best director award at the Cannes film festival last year for his short documentry to cinematographer Veenugopal who has won four national awards for his excellent camera work.

Jha first came to Wai in 1995 to shoot Bandish, his first commercial venture, returning later to shoot Mrityudand.
Though Jha insists that Gangaajal was not inspired by the 1983 Bhagalpur blindings (31 undertrials in a Bihar jail were blinded when policemen poured acid into their eyes; the acid was dubbed gangajal), he says it is a hard-hitting film.
Now Manish Jha, 24, is trying his hand at something new-a commercial Hindi film, but one with a concept that is as far removed from its tradition of running around trees as it can be.

 "Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women" By Manish Jha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Writer-director Manish Jha (whose A Very Very Silent Film, won the best short film award at Cannes in 2002), extrapolates from our current reality to imagine an Indian village where, due to routine killing of female newborns, women have entirely been wiped out.
Matrubhoomi uses relentless brutality to shock, but at a certain point, the shock turns to numbness, as Jha hammers away with endlessly repeated close-ups of Kalki's battered face with yet another man untying his pyjamas in the background.
It works perhaps even better if, while watching it, one doesn't feel awkward about having forgotten that this male malevolence is the offspring of a womanless world, "the instability which can creep into society due to the absence of women-be it physical, emotional and psychological".

In his debut feature Manish Jha presents a harrowing fairy tale of the future of rural India where, due to the prevalence of female infanticide, women are now almost eradicated.
Satirical in the extreme, this film highlights the abuse of women by men; of course, an issue not limited to India, and how ultimately this violence destroys the men who perpetrate it.

Manish Jha’s A Nation Without Women is one of the most startling debut features to emerge from India in recent memory.

Using the rawest elements of storytelling, Jha goes beyond the disturbing images of violence and defilement of women as shown in Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Bandit Queen’ or Digvijay Singh's ‘Maya’, both of which are about the hapless state of rural women in India.
But it is also a fact that director Manish Jha has taken the liberty of creating an boorish man’s world, where woman is used just as a sex object.
Manish’s protagonist Kalki, though a female, also speaks about ‘ignorance in humanity’ and finally ‘creation’ through destruction.

 USATODAY.com - ESPN wants to ring you up with highlights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
But Manish Jha, ESPN Mobile senior vice president, says ESPN phones will be the first to alert users that, say, their favorite team scored — yes, the ring tone can be set to SportsCenter's da-da-da, da-da-da — and then show a video highlight of the play within minutes and even as the game goes on.
Jha suggests that phone users will want more video because, like more computer users getting broadband access, a national infrastructure is being developed that will deliver broadband video to phones that will make 2-inch screens more watchable.
ESPN, says Dave Linsalata, an analyst at the research firm IDC, is the first "really big" brand name to create its own cellphones — although he says there's been a Barbie phone — and might have an edge over rivals by being able to quickly speed highlights from its TV games.
