An Aseema Alumnus Gives Back

Nargis Dutt was one of India’s most famous actresses and a charity supporter. She was best known for the 1957 film Mother India, where she portrayed a mother striving to remain principled in the face of poverty and mistreatment. The film was a reply to a 1920s book with the same title, written in the U.S., which blatantly peddled anti-Indian stereotypes.
