## Resource

Bollywood has long been seen as the heartbeat of Indian entertainment, but is it actually eroding the very culture it claims to represent? In this eye-opening episode of The Changemakers, journalist and author Swati Goel Sharma exposes the deep-rooted biases, cultural distortions, and ideological agendas shaping Bollywood today. From whitewashing history to glorifying anti-heroes and mocking indigenous traditions, we uncover how Bollywood influences public perception and impacts India's socio-political landscape. Are we witnessing a cultural takeover disguised as entertainment? Join us as we deconstruct the narratives, challenge the status quo, and explore how cinema can truly reflect Bharat’s civilizational ethos rather than undermine it.
