“…Ever since the Slavic principalities under the Kazan Khanate were invaded by Russians in 1552, Tatar identity has been constructed through linguistic and cultural "orientation towards or away from Russian language and culture" (Wertheim, 2005). Being the largest non-Russian nationality, the otherness of Tatar identity also influenced the historiography in the form of Islam because Tatarstan, populated by the descendants of indigenous Bulgars, has been known as the "cradle of Russian Islam" (March, 2010;Kocak, 2017). Local diversities like Mishari and Nogai are incorporated in a larger Tatar identity, which is also di erent from that of Muslims in places beyond Tatarstan such as Bashkortostan and Dagestan in terms of Islamic culture and tradition (Wertheim, 2005;March, 2010).…”

Tatars in Russia and Mappilas in India, two imagined communities of dif- ferent socio-cultural, ethno-national and geo-political identities, have more contrasts than commonalities. Their similarity lies in the constructed otherness of Tatars and Mappilas regarding the origin, spread, and survival of these two communities. Orientalist historiography, literary imageries, and ideological intrusions have constructed a common ‘other’ whose stereotyped media images and biased narratives are now part of everyday discursive practice. Rejecting these age-old intellectual narratives and media images, a new wave of intelligentsia among the Tatar and Mappila communities brings counter-narratives on the history, tradition, and everyday life of these communities. Media, especially cinema, have become a major tool for reinterpreting Tatar and Mappila identity and culture and challenging the distorted images of these subaltern communities.
