The Indian film industry reached overall revenues of $ 1.86 billion ( 93 billion ) in 2011 . This is projected to rise to $ 3 billion ( 200 billion ) in 2016 . In 2015 , India had a total box office gross of , the fourth largest in the world outside North America .

Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened . The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country 's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe .

neg: Racebending __ NOTOC __  Racebending is a neologism used to describe a process where a character 's perceived race or ethnicity is changed in a narrative by an adapter as it is created in a new media form . The term was coined by one of the founders of the website Racebending.com , which was created to protest the casting of white actors in the 2010 film The Last Airbender , where the originating TV series Avatar : The Last Airbender featured characters of East Asian appearance . The term `` racebending '' was derived from Avatar characters ' ability to manipulate or `` bend '' the classical elements of water , earth , fire , and air . Assistant Professor Kristen J. Warner wrote that the term has `` many definitions and contexts '' , such as being the industrial practice of color-blind casting or writing fan fiction , the latter being `` when writers change the race and cultural specificity of central characters or pull a secondary character of color from the margins , transforming her into the central protagonist . ''   In 2010 , Racebending.com and the Media Action Network for Asian Americans ( MANAA ) urged boycotts of The Last Airbender as well as Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time due to their practices of racebending . Prince of Persia was criticized for casting white actors for the principal cast instead of actors of Iranian or Middle Eastern descent .   Fan activism over The Last Airbender led to the term becoming prevalent and becoming the name of the activist movement . Activists used the term interchangeably with `` whitewashing '' to describe white actors being cast as non-white characters in adaptations of media . Pastes Abbey White said in 2016 that the term was subsequently adopted to apply to actors of color being cast in traditionally white roles . White said , `` In the last several years , racebending has become a practice used more and more to help networks diversify their ensembles and capture a bigger audience . Not only has it resulted in more racial visibility on the small screen , but in a far more unexpected way , racebending can generate deeper and more significant depictions of characters . ''

neg: Treason Act 1800 The Treason Act 1800 ( 39 & 40 Geo .3 c. 93 ) was an Act of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain . It assimilated the procedure on trials for treason and misprision of treason to the procedure on trials for murder in certain cases . It was passed as a result of an attempt on the life of George III by James Hadfield earlier that year . The Criminal Lunatics Act 1800 was passed at the same time .   The Act provided that in all cases of high treason which consisted of compassing or imagining the death of the King , or of misprision of that species of high treason , where the overt act ( or acts ) of that species of high treason alleged in the indictment for that offence was the assassination or killing of the King , or a direct attempt against his life , or a direct attempt against his person whereby his life might be endangered or his person might suffer bodily harm , the accused could be , and was to be , indicted , arraigned , tried and attainted , in same manner , and under the same procedure ( `` course and order of trial '' ) and on the same evidence , as if he was charged with murder .   It further provided that nothing in the Treason Act 1695 or the Treason Act 1708 was to extend to any indictment for high treason consisting of compassing or imagining the death of the King , or for misprision of such treason , which alleged any of the overt acts specified above .   It further provided that nothing contained in the Act was to be construed to affect the penalty for treason fixed by law .   The provisions of the Act were amended and extended to all cases of treason and misprision of treason by section 1 of the Treason Act 1945 ; subject to a saving for the 1695 and 1708 Acts ( s. 2 ( 2 ) ) and five separate repeals of words ( s. 2 ( 1 ) ) .

neg: The Night Letter The Night Letter is a 1978 book by Paul Spike , with a double-layered structure : an anti-Nazi spy thriller on the background of the early part of the Second World War , and an exposure of cynical and machiavellian maneuverings in the American corridors of power .   The book belongs to the subgenre of secret history -- i.e. with a plot in which real historical figures play a substantial part , doing things which are the author 's invention but which supposedly ( for reasons given in the plot ) remained secret and did not come to the knowledge of the public .   In the book , a British doctor meets in 1936 with President Franklin D. Roosevelt , who is unaware that the doctor is a Nazi sympathizer . The visitor manages to secretly photograph the President in a compromising position with his secretary , Missy LeHand ( whom historians widely assume to have been indeed Roosevelt 's mistress ) .   By 1940 , senior Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich possesses the picture and intends to use the photo for blackmail and prevent Roosevelt from running for a third term -- in the hope that whoever gets elected instead would be more likely to keep the US out of the Second World War .   The President must recover the photo before the Democratic Party Convention which is about to nominate him . What makes the situation more difficult is that Roosevelt also needs to bypass the FBI -- for apprehension that should the photo fall into the hands of J. Edgar Hoover , the FBI Director might use it for his own brand of blackmail . Instead , Roosevelt employs former FBI Agent Jackson , who had left the Bureau under a cloud and incurred Hoover 's personal enmity , and who is completely loyal to the President .   The bulk of the book follows Jackson 's chase after the photo , starting from Paris at the very eve of its fall to the Wehrmacht and concluding with a cataclysmic confrontation at a secret Michigan base of the `` Silver Shirts '' -- a murderous , power-mad American Fascist militia ( which truly existed , though not necessarily doing all that the book describes it as doing ) . The chase ends with a mixed result -- the Nazi agents have been killed or captured , but the negative did fall into the hands of the FBI who caught the scent of what was going on .   The book ends on a cynical note : Hoover meets the President at the White House , claims to have destroyed the negatives ( which is manifestly untrue ) and proceeds to imperiously demand the sacking of Jackson -- obviously he is under the impression that he now holds Roosevelt 's fate in his hand . Upon being shown this , the President presents a photo of his own , showing Hoover in a compromising position with a handsome young FBI agent . Roosevelt and Hoover would henceforth be tied to each other , `` like convicts in chain gang '' , each able to destroy the other but only at the cost of his own destruction .

neg: Burmese Days Burmese Days is a novel by British writer George Orwell . It was first published in the UK in 1934 . It is a tale from the waning days of British colonialism , when Burma was ruled from Delhi as a part of British India -- `` a portrait of the dark side of the British Raj . '' At its centre is John Flory , `` the lone and lacking individual trapped within a bigger system that is undermining the better side of human nature . '' Orwell 's first novel , it describes `` corruption and imperial bigotry '' in a society where , `` after all , natives were natives -- interesting , no doubt , but finally ... an inferior people '' .   Because of concerns that the novel might be potentially libellous , that Katha was described too realistically , and that some of the characters might be based on real people , it was first published `` further afield '' , in the United States . A British edition , with altered names , appeared a year later . When it was published in the 1930s , Orwell 's harsh portrayal of colonial society was felt by `` some old Burma hands '' to have `` rather let the side down '' . In a letter from 1946 , Orwell said `` I dare say it 's unfair in some ways and inaccurate in some details , but much of it is simply reporting what I have seen '' .

neg: James Chadwin James Armstrong Chadwin QC ( 7 June 1930 -- 16 January 2006 ) was a prominent British barrister , whose cases included defending Peter Sutcliffe , the `` Yorkshire Ripper '' .   Chadwin was born in Glasgow and educated at the High School of Glasgow , Glasgow University ( where he read modern languages and met the woman he was to marry ) and Jesus College , Oxford . Whilst at Oxford , he was active as an actor and director in university theatre and also joined the Oxford University Air Squadron . He then spent six years in the Royal Air Force as an education officer at RAF Sandwich , his eyesight not being good enough to enable him to be a pilot .   He was then called to the bar by Gray 's Inn in 1958 and joined chambers in Newcastle upon Tyne where his contemporaries included Peter Taylor , later Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales . Chadwin practised mainly in the field of criminal law and became a Queen 's Counsel in 1976 . He also became a Recorder in the same year , presiding over some trials at the Old Bailey . He was later appointed a Bencher of Gray 's Inn and , in 1988 , Leader of the Northern Circuit .   Chadwin represented Peter Sutcliffe in 1981 . Sutcliffe had admitted killing 13 women and attempting to kill seven others . Four psychiatrists reported on Sutcliffe and diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia , and Sir Michael Havers QC , the Attorney-General , was prepared to accept a plea of guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility . However , the trial judge , Mr Justice Boreham , refused to accept this plea and so Sutcliffe was tried for murder . Chadwin 's attempts to secure a manslaughter verdict failed , although the jury returned a majority verdict of 10:2 reflecting doubts that two jurors had .   Apart from Sutcliffe , his clients included Anthony Arkwright , who committed four murders in an apparent attempt to emulate Sutcliffe . He also represented Donna Anthony , who was convicted of killing her two children . The prosecution relied on evidence from Professor Sir Roy Meadow , whose evidence was later discredited . Chadwin appeared unsuccessfully for Donna Anthony on her first appeal , but illness prevented him representing her on her second , successful , appeal . Amongst his civil cases , Miller v. Jackson was a Court of Appeal decision on whether a cricket club was liable in nuisance and negligence to neighbouring residents when sixes were hit by players into their garden . Chadwin represented the neighbours and obtained an award of damages , although the injunction that had been granted at trial against the cricket club was overturned on appeal .   Chadwin , who was married with four children , died in 2006 . His obituary in The Times described him in this way :

neg: Caledon Bay crisis The Caledon Bay crisis refers to a series of killings at Caledon Bay in the Northern Territory of Australia during 1932 -- 34 . These events are widely seen as a turning point in relations between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians .   In 1932 , five Japanese trepang fishers were killed by Aboriginals in the Caledon Bay area of northeast Arnhem Land . In another incident on Woodah Island , two white men named Fagan and Traynor were killed . A policeman investigating the deaths , Constable Albert McColl , was subsequently also killed by Yolngu people . McColl had handcuffed a Yolngu woman as part of a plan to catch Dhakiyarr ( also known as Takiar , Tuckiar and Takiara ) but was killed by a spear through the heart while being led by the woman to where she had told him Dhakiyarr was camping .   The killings triggered panic in Darwin , capital of the Northern Territory , generating fears that Aborigines -- the majority of the population in the Territory at the time -- might stage an uprising . A punitive expedition was proposed by police to `` teach the blacks a lesson '' . ( In 1928 , during a previous punitive expedition in the Northern Territory , police had killed up to 110 Aboriginal men , women and children ; an event known as the Coniston massacre . )   Many feared another such slaughter , and a party from the Church Missionary Society travelled to Arnhem Land and persuaded Dhakiyarr and three other men , who were sons of a Yolngu elder , Wonggu , to return to Darwin with them for trial . In Darwin , to the horror of the missionaries , Dhakiyarr was sentenced to death by hanging , and the three other men were sentenced to twenty years hard labour . On appeal to the High Court of Australia , Dhakiyarr 's sentence was quashed , and he was released from jail , but disappeared . Rumours suggested he had been killed by police .   The resulting crisis threatened to bring about even more bloodshed . To defuse the situation , a young anthropologist , Donald Thomson , offered to investigate the causes of the conflict . He travelled to Arnhem Land , on a mission that many said would be suicidal , and got to know and understand the people who lived there . After a seven months ' investigation , he persuaded the Federal Government to free the three men convicted of the killings and returned with them to their own country , living for over a year with their people , documenting their culture .   He formed a strong bond with the Yolngu people , and in 1941 he persuaded the Army to establish a special reconnaissance force of Yolngu men known as the Northern Territory Special Reconnaissance Unit , including Wonggu and his sons , to help repel Japanese raids on the northern coastline of Australia .   The historian Henry Reynolds has suggested that the Caledon Bay crisis `` was a decisive moment in the history of Aboriginal-European relations . The High Court condemned frontier justice , the punitive expedition did not ride into Yolngu country and there had been an unprecedented outburst of public sentiment demanding a new deal for Indigenous Australians .

The Belize Barrier Reef includes a number of small islands , called cays , and collectively known as the Pelican Cays .   The Gulf of Honduras is marked by complex dynamics of coastal and open waters , and ocean currents , which have produced a very diverse and unique ecosystem with a wide variety of coastal marine waters , including coastline estuaries , barrier beaches , lagoons , intertidal salt marshes , mangrove forests , seagrass beds , keys and barrier reefs .   The gulf receives the runoff from the watersheds of 12 rivers with an estimated discharge of 1232 m ³ s − 1 . These rivers include the Moho , Sarstún , Río Dulce , Motagua , and Ulúa . Increased volumes of sediments drained in the Gulf of Honduras pose a threat to its marine ecosystem .   Many American anglers visit the Gulf of Honduras to catch the marlin that abound there . Tourists are often taken on boat trips to the Pelican Cays , notably Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye .   In 1961 Hurricane Hattie swept across the Gulf of Honduras , destroying buildings in Belize .   The infamous pirate Blackbeard spent the winter of 1717-1718 harassing shipping boats sailing to and from the port of Vera Cruz , Mexico and traversing the Bay of Honduras . In April 1718 , at Turneffe Atoll , Blackbeard captured the logwood cutting sloop Adventure and forced its captain , David Herriot , to join him . Blackbeard then made Israel Hands captain of the Adventure and began sailing for North Carolina .

neg: Development of Duke Nukem Forever The video game Duke Nukem Forever spent fifteen years in development , from 1996 to 2011 . It is a first-person shooter for PC , PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 , developed by 3D Realms , Triptych Games , Gearbox Software and Piranha Games . It is a sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D , as part of the long-running Duke Nukem video game series . Intended to be groundbreaking , Duke Nukem Forever has become infamous in the video games industry and was considered vaporware due to its severely protracted development schedule ; the game had been in development under 3D Realms since 1996 . Director George Broussard , one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game , first announced the title 's development in April 1997 , and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another from 1997 until its release in 2011 .   After repeatedly announcing and deferring release dates , 3D Realms announced in 2001 that it would be released simply `` when it 's done '' . In May 2009 , 3D Realms was downsized for financial reasons , resulting in the loss of the game 's development team . Statements by the company indicated that the project was due to `` go gold '' soon with pictures of final development . Take-Two Interactive , which owns the publishing rights to the game , filed a lawsuit in 2009 against 3D Realms over their `` failure to finish development '' . 3D Realms retorted that Take-Two 's legal interest in the game is limited to their publishing right . The case was settled with prejudice and details undisclosed in May 2010 . On September 3 , 2010 , 14 years after the start of the development , Duke Nukem Forever was officially reported by 2K Games to be in development at Gearbox Software , with an expected release date of 2011 . The official release date was then revealed to be May 3 , 2011 , in North America , with a worldwide release following on May 6 , 2011 . This was however delayed by a month to June 10 internationally with a North American release on June 14 . Duke Nukem Forever was finally released after 15 years of development on June 10 , 2011 , to mostly negative reviews .

neg: List of Desert Island Discs episodes (2001–10) The BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs invites castaways to choose eight pieces of music , a book ( in addition to the Bible - or a religious text appropriate to that person 's beliefs - and the Complete Works of Shakespeare ) and a luxury item that they would take to an imaginary desert island , where they will be marooned indefinitely . The rules state that the chosen luxury item must not be anything animate or indeed anything that enables the castaway to escape from the island , for instance a radio set , sailing yacht or aeroplane . The choices of book and luxury can sometimes give insight into the guest 's life , and the choices of guests between 2001 and 2010 are listed here .   Very rarely programmes will be repeated in place of new shows as a tribute to former guests who have recently died -- for example Radio 4 repeated Humphrey Lyttelton 's show , originally aired on 5 November 2006 , on 15 June 2008 . Desert Island Discs takes two short breaks , in spring and summer . BBC Radio 4 broadcasts new programmes for approximately 42 weeks each year on Sunday mornings , usually with a repeat transmission 5 days later . On Remembrance Sunday ( in November ) the programme is not broadcast but that week 's programme gets a single airing in the Friday repeat slot .

neg: The NeverEnding Story (film) The NeverEnding Story is a 1984 American epic fantasy film based on the novel of the same name by Michael Ende , about a boy who reads a magical book that tells a story of a young warrior whose task is to stop a dark storm called the Nothing from engulfing a fantasy world . The film was produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter Giessler and directed and co-written by Wolfgang Petersen ( his first English-language film ) and starred Noah Hathaway , Barret Oliver , Tami Stronach , Patricia Hayes , Sydney Bromley , Gerald McRaney , Moses Gunn , and Alan Oppenheimer as the voices of both Falkor and Gmork ( as well as other characters ) . At the time of its release , it was the most expensive film produced outside the United States or the Soviet Union . The film was the first in The NeverEnding Story film series and later followed by two sequels .   Ende felt that this adaptation 's content deviated so far from the spirit of his book that he requested that production either be halted or the film 's title be changed ; when the producers did neither , he sued them and subsequently lost the case . Ende called the film a `` gigantic melodrama of kitsch , commerce , plush and plastic '' -LSB- Ein `` gigantisches Melodram aus Kitsch , Kommerz , Plüsch und Plastik '' -RSB- . The film only adapts the first half of the book , and consequently does not convey the message of the title as it was portrayed in the novel . The second half of the book would subsequently be used as the rough basis for the second film , The Next Chapter . The third film , Escape from Fantasia , features a completely original plot .

neg: Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Foreign Language Film Every year since its inception , the Japanese Academy has recognized an outstanding foreign film . The year that any given film is nominated is not based on the film 's domestic release date but rather on the date it is released in Japan . As delays of over four months are not uncommon , many films are nominated in Japan the following year after their release to the Japanese market ( i.e. Million Dollar Baby won the American Academy Award for Best Picture for films made in 2004 , but the Japanese award , based on its localized release date , is for 2005 ) . In fact , not one of the five films nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Picture had been released in Japan by February 15 , 2008 , the date of the Japan Academy Prize Ceremony . Although the 2007 recipient of this award , Letters from Iwo Jima , a film almost entirely in Japanese , would not seem to meet the qualification of a `` Foreign Language Film '' , the actual Japanese title of the award , 最優秀外国作品賞 makes no mention of language . It would be more accurately translated as `` Best Foreign Production '' .   2017 - Sully  The Martian  Zootopia  Star Wars : The Force Awakens  The Revenant  2016 - American Sniper  Kingsman : The Secret Service  Mad Max : Fury Road  Spectre  Whiplash  2015 - Frozen  Interstellar  Jersey Boys  Fury  Godzilla  2014 - Les Misérables  3 Idiots  Captain Phillips  Django Unchained  Gravity  2013 - The Intouchables  Argo  The Dark Knight Rises  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo  Skyfall  2012 - The King 's Speech  Rise of the Planet of the Apes  Moneyball  The Social Network  Black Swan  2011 - Avatar  Inception  Toy Story 3  Invictus  The Hurt Locker  2010 - Gran Torino  Slumdog Millionaire  Changeling  The Wrestler  Red Cliff Part II  2009 - The Dark Knight  The Bucket List  No Country for Old Men  Lust , Caution  Red Cliff Part I  2008 - Letters from Iwo Jima  Dreamgirls  Babel  Hairspray  The Bourne Ultimatum  2007 - Flags of Our Fathers  Crash  Hotel Rwanda  Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest  The Da Vinci Code  2006 - Million Dollar Baby  Cinderella Man  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory  The Phantom of the Opera  Star Wars : Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith  2005 - The Last Samurai  The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King  Mystic River  Seabiscuit  Troy  2004 - The Pianist  Chicago  The Hours  The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers  Yeopgijeogin geunyeo  2003 - Monster 's Ball  Gangs of New York  Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets  I Am Sam  The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring  2002 - Billy Elliot  Artificial Intelligence : AI  Chocolat  Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone  Postmen in the Mountains  2001 - Dancer in the Dark  American Beauty  Gladiator  The Green Mile  Swiri  2000 - The Sixth Sense  Elizabeth  The Matrix  Shakespeare in Love  La Vita è bella  1999 - L.A.

neg: SeaWorld SeaWorld is a United States chain of marine mammal parks , oceanariums , animal theme parks , and rehabilitation centers owned by SeaWorld Entertainment ( one park will be owned and operated by Miral under a license ) . The parks feature killer whale , sea lion , and dolphin shows and zoological displays featuring various other marine animals . There are operations located within the United States in Orlando , Florida ; San Diego , California ; San Antonio , Texas ; later outside the United States such as Abu Dhabi , United Arab Emirates ; and previously Aurora , Ohio . On March 5 , 2007 , SeaWorld Orlando announced addition of the Aquatica water park to its adventure park family , which already includes SeaWorld and Discovery Cove .   SeaWorld parks also feature thrill rides , including roller coasters like Kraken and Manta at SeaWorld Orlando and Steel Eel and The Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio . Journey to Atlantis , a combination roller coaster and splashdown ride , can be found at all three parks . The parks were owned by Busch Entertainment Corp. , the family entertainment division of Anheuser-Busch , which is best known for brewing beer . In 2009 , Busch Entertainment was sold to the Blackstone Group and subsequently renamed SeaWorld Entertainment . In 2013 , Blackstone sold 37 % of SeaWorld Entertainment in an initial public offering , and sold its remaining 21 % holding to Zhonghong Zhuoye in 2017 .   The parks ' marine mammal collections have been the subject of public debate over the years . The 2013 documentary film Blackfish , produced after a SeaWorld Orlando trainer was killed by one of the park 's killer whales , increased the scrutiny and has led to decreases in attendance , profits , and the company 's share price . It is a major theme park competitor to Six Flags , Cedar Fair , Walt Disney Parks & Resorts , and Universal Parks & Resorts .   In 2016 , SeaWorld announced that they would end their in-park Orca breeding program , and eventually phase out their theatrical killer whale shows altogether starting in San Diego . It was announced later in the same year that SeaWorld would build their first park without killer whales and outside of the United States in Abu Dhabi , UAE .
