Cinema of India

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because I am Indian and a big fan of Indian cinema so I enjoy learning about the history of Indian cinema and the changes that have occurred. It matters because Indian cinema is a very important cultural aspect of India and showcases the changes in history thorugh movies like how outfits, songs, settings, and more vary as the years pass. My preliminary impression of it was that it was very detailed in history and clearly explained the various types and parts of Indian Cinema.

 * Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations?
 * A notable equity gap is the amount of films produced by Indian cinema from each language. In the Hindi language 495 films are produced where as in the Maithili or Santali langague only 2 films are produced per year. Basically there are popular langauges for movies and unpopular langauges. The article equally represents all groups identifying even the smallest marginalized populations.
