Biography from TheMovieDB

Dr Raj Pandit Sharma is an Indian based in the UK. He is Vice President of the Global Hindu Priest Association and is a senior Minister of the Hindu Faith (Hindu Priest). He was a member of the National Executive of the Hindu Council UK and author of the Caste Report. Dr Sharma also participates in discussions on Hinduism for the BBC as a panelist on the BBC1 Sunday morning programme, ‘The Big Questions.’ He has also presented BBC Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day'.  For six years, Dr Sharma had also been a Co-presenter of a popular TV programme 'Let us Talk Hinduism'. It was an interactive television show broadcast live at 8.30pm every Sunday from MATV studios viewable in Europe, UK and USA. It was viewed worldwide on the internet.  The programme was broadcast live for 20 years and was one of the most popular shows on the entire network. It addressed a variety of topics related to Sanatan Dharma (original Hindu Faith) and Hindu culture. The show also allowed viewers to phone in to pose any question about the Hindu Faith and receive authentic answers based on the perspective of its Vedic scriptures rather than just personal opinion.  Whereas there are many programmes broadcast internationally related to the Hindu Faith, 'Let us Talk Hinduism' is unique in this aspect that it supports live question & answer sessions for its global audience. Dr Sharma had offered his services to the programme for over four years on a complimentary basis since its inception in 2009.  Dr Sharma is an eloquent lecturer in the Hindu Faith and well-liked Pandit (Hindu Priest). He often addresses diverse audiences in the academic and non-academic world, being fluent in twelve languages.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
