		As we started unloading it my mother came running out of the house hooting with laughter, grabbed the panties and went 'whup, whup, whup' with them in the air and went back inside because she reckoned there was no point hiding it.
		Mother India defines an authentic idea of an older India, but if you look at films now, they often have NRIs (non-resident Indians) who fall in love overseas but have to come back to get married and rediscover their Indian-ness.
		And that's another reason why the 'Mother India' theme was very current in my mind because she was looking at the representation of women and nation coming through in popular imagery.

	Mother India by Gayatri Chatterjee (London: British Film Institute, 2002)
		Mother India is a film that I saw with my family in 1958 when I was a girl of 11 and I still remember the outer suburban cinema where we saw it.
		She adds that “Mehboob chose Nargis for the role of a traditional peasant woman, even though she excelled as a modern, independent-minded, sexually aware woman – the sexuality that Nargis brought to the screen was not blatant or aggressive but touched with innocence as well as passion and a simple directness”.
		Just about five years after India's independence the nationalist slogan that allegorised the nation as the mother/goddess was still a living memory, and the film works on these two levels, that is as both an individual drama and an epic struggle that has a nationalist mythico/historical resonance.

		Mayo had confessed that she had come to India merely to open out and examine the drains of India, there would perhaps be little to complain about her compilation.
		The outrage Mother India provoked amongst Indians, and even among some British and American readers, was all based on the assumption that her assessment was sincere -- if slanted.
		Though if you think about it, the myth of the mother who sacrifices everything for her sons and suffers silently is almost as pernicious as Mayo's "drain inspector's report" version of gender relations and sexuality in India in the 1920s.
