Notes
One 1972 story is credited to ‘Packashe.' Peter Hampton [qv] recalled a Parkash as having worked in the United Kingdom for Movietone, but there are no surviving credits.

Career

Mohan Parkash was brother to Ved Parkash [qv], operating as a stringer in India for Movietone in 1947 at the time of Indian independence, when his brother was working for Paramount. It is presumably Mohan who is the Parkash credited for ‘TONGA VISIT TO INDIA’ in British Movietone News No.2209A of October 1971, and a series of other Indian stories for that newsreel, ending with ‘REPUBLIC DAY PARADE’ in No.2488 of February 1977.
