    The Impact of Copyright Infringement on Regional Cinema: A Case Study of Assamese Filmmakers
    (NLUJAA, 2026) Akib Tahjibur Rahman
    This cultural plurality and linguistic diversity are the points of difference between India and many other nations. The existence of various film industries, producing movies in accordance with their own culture and society, is a testament to the cultural diversity of the country. Industries like the Hindi film industry, commonly known as Bollywood, and more recently the South India film industries as well, have a huge audience and are commercially dominant. Most of these regional industries are thriving not just in India but all over the world, mostly because of the existence of a global audience for it, with the Indian diaspora scattered across the globe. But a case can be made that public discourse, state policy, international trade negotiations and academic legal inquiry have historically favoured these industries as they generate a lot of revenue, and in turn taxes.
