What happens

Indian News Parade was a cinematic newsreel produced by the Indian government between September 1943 and April 1946. Originally a newsreel named Indian Movietone News from 1942 to 1943, it was produced in response to the Anglo-centric newsreels created by British and American companies. It suffered a poor critical reception, and production ceased shortly after the end of World War II. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
