		Nair is so involved in her craft and keen to capture the nuances of her subject that she has been told her investigation amounts to what could be called sociological or anthropological research.

	VG: Artist Biography: Nair, Mira
		Nair feels the film has relevance to contemporary life in the United States, where sex is "devoid" of a connection to spirituality, and in India, where the historical connection has been lost.
		Nair yielded the director’s seat in 2003 to produce a documentary directed by Dinaz Stafford that explores the ancient rice farming technique practiced by the Garos of Meghalaya.
		Mira Nair described her film as “the ultimate love song to Delhi.” Showing the city both in its traditional aspect and one susceptible to western influence runs parallel to the gathering of the families for the wedding.

	Delhi deluge of colour and movement in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding
		Nair's film is thus a skilful blend of the colour, movement and joie de vivre accompanying traditional Punjabi wedding celebrations and a serious drama that tackles topics traditionally proscribed on the Indian screen, including adultery and paedophilia.
		Nair's body of work, both fiction and non-fiction, has hitherto consistently addressed what could be loosely categorised as the plight of the underprivileged—individuals and groups disenfranchised in terms of class, gender, age, nationality and/or economic status.
		As Nair has observed, she has “always been drawn to stories of people who live on the margins of society; people who are on the edge, or outside, learning the language of being in between; dealing with the questions, 'What, and where is home'” (10)

	Director Mira Nair dusts off her favorite novel for a critique of class and race, English-style (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As Nair tells it, she was on a commercial airline when another passenger -- a native of India, as she is -- recognized her as the director of "Monsoon Wedding" and "Salaam Bombay!" "Salaam Bombay!" is about that city's street children, while "Monsoon Wedding" captures the environment at a well-to-do wedding.
		Nair, who was born and raised in India before coming to the United States to attend Harvard, says Thackeray's novel is as much about class and race differences as it is about a young woman's improbable journey through the hallowed homes of old England.
		Nair dramatized the story of a New York Muslim who went missing in the attacks and was suspected of being a terrorist -- until his remains were recovered in the rubble of the World Trade Center disaster and authorities realized that he had tried to rescue people from the buildings.
