Research into the history of cinema in India, and in particular into early cinema, demonstrates a cruel lack of sources, archives and film preservation. How, then, is one to document a history so little discussed, that of movie theatres, in an area so large? This article, which is not at all exhaustive, seeks to identify, diachronically, the major issues around film distribution and exhibition in India. From cinema's beginnings until the present day, an underlying issue remains: conquering rural areas and their audiences. To this contrast between urban and rural areas there is added, in cities, that of the distinction between different categories of movie theatre. These analyses, varying in form, nevertheless demonstrate permanent structural problems, from a shortage of movie theatres to strong regional disparities. The growth of multiplexes and their small-scale avatars, the miniplex and valueplex, appears to be opening up new possibilities in rural markets.

ABSTRACTThe author examines how the population of colonial India reacted to enumeration practices developed by the British for fiscal and demographic purposes. Three types of reactions predominated during this period: rumblings, resistance—either spontaneous (primarily among the Santhal tribes) or politically organized, sparked by the nationalist movement of the 1920s and 1930s—and violent revolts, especially among the tribal Bhil in western India. It is interesting to relate such reactions, which often intermingled, to the building of a modern colonial state.
