Nehru, président de l'Inde nouvellement indépendante, confie en 1950 à Le Corbusier la création de la ville de Chandigarh, nouvelle capitale du Penjab. Entre 1951 et 1965, Le Corbusier construisit plusieurs bâtiments à Chandigarh et à Ahmedabad, la capitale du textile indien. A Ahmedabad, il teste et perfectionne dans les villas Sarabhai et Shodhan, ainsi qu dans Palais de l'Association des Filateurs, des éléments architecturaux qu'il utilisera à Chandigargh. Il conçoit et réalise avec son équipe, entre 1950 et 1965, le plan urbain, les espaces publics et les divers bâtiments administratifs du Capitole de Chandigarh : le Palais de Justice, le Secrétariat et le Palais de l'Assemblée, la Haute Cour. Le film retrace l'histoire de cette aventure à travers une riche documentation : des écrits de Le Corbusier, des extraits de ses courriers envoyés sa famille à ses clients et collaborateurs indiens et français, des entretiens actuels avec ces derniers et avec des historiens et critiques d'architecture. Une première partie du film parle d'Ahmedabad et de Chandigarh ; la deuxième partie se concentre uniquement sur la construction du Capitole. A l'écran : les bâtiments majeurs construits par Le Corbusier en Inde : archives photographiques et filmiques, vues actuelles, détails ; dessins de Le Corbusier.

In 2002, after an altercation between Muslim vendors and Hindu travelers at a railway station in the Indian state of Gujarat, fifty-nine Hindu pilgrims were burned to death. The ruling nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party blamed Gujarat's entire Muslim minority for the tragedy and incited fellow Hindus to exact revenge. The resulting violence left more than one thousand people dead--most of them Muslims--and tens of thousands more displaced from their homes. Parvis Ghassem-Fachandi witnessed the bloodshed up close. In Pogrom in Gujarat, he provides a riveting ethnographic account of collective violence in which the doctrine of ahimsa--or nonviolence--and the closely associated practices of vegetarianism became implicated by legitimating what they formally disavow. Ghassem-Fachandi looks at how newspapers, movies, and other media helped to fuel the pogrom. He shows how the vegetarian sensibilities of Hindus and the language of sacrifice were manipulated to provoke disgust against Muslims and mobilize the aspiring middle classes across caste and class differences in the name of Hindu nationalism. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of Gujarat's culture and politics and the close ties he shared with some of the pogrom's sympathizers, Ghassem-Fachandi offers a strikingly original interpretation of the different ways in which Hindu proponents of ahimsa became complicit in the very violence they claimed to renounce.
