Prime Time Soap Operas on Indian Television

By: Shoma Munshi

This book examines the phenomenon of prime time soap operas on Indian television. An anthropological insight into social issues and practices of contemporary India through the television, this volume analyzes the production of soaps within India’s cultural fabric. It deconstructs themes and issues surrounding the "everyday" and the "middle class" through the fiction of the "popular". In its second edition, this still remains the only book to examine prime time soap operas on Indian television. Without in any way changing the central arguments of the first edition, it adds an essential introductory chapter tracking the tectonic shifts in the Indian "mediascape" over the past decade – including how the explosion of regional language channels and an era of multiple screens have changed soap viewing forever. Meticulously researched and persuasively argued, the book traces how prime time soaps in India still grab the maximum eyeballs and remain the biggest earners for TV channels. The book will be of interest to students of anthropology and sociology, media and cultural studies, visual culture studies, gender and family studies, and also Asian studies in general. It is also an important resource for media producers, both in content production and television channels, as well as for the general reader.

Remote Control

Indian Television in the New Millennium

By: Shoma Munshi

What do the TV shows we’re watching tell us about ourselves? Television is the single most powerful and dynamic agent of change in India today. It is also the country’s most popular and accessible form of entertainment. Remote Control examines three kinds of programming—24x7 news, soap operas and reality shows—that have changed Indian television forever, and analyzes how these three genres, while drawing on different sources, are hybridized, indigenized and manage to ultimately project a distinctively Indian identity. Shoma Munshi’s book shows us how everyday reality in India in the twenty-first century shapes television; and how television, in turn, shapes us.

The Final Travels of U.G. Krishnamurti

By: Louis Brawley

The way he lived, his living quarters and his mode of expression were one continuous movement, a three dimensional, living book of teaching.’ Louis Brawley met U.G. Krishnamurti or UG in 2002 and spent the following five years travelling with him in the USA, India and Europe. He soon became the foil to UG’s bizarre interactions with his friends and audience and, as UG’s health deteriorated, his informal caregiver. No More Questions chronicles Louis’s life with this remarkable ‘non-teacher’. As much a story of Louis’s own struggles and shortcomings as that of sage and devoted follower, the book describes how his ideas about life, love and enlightenment were tossed around and demolished by UG. Out of this churning a layered portrait emerges of the man who gave up everything for truth but delighted in ridiculous fabrications; one who mocked do-gooders but was deeply kind, who decried the supernatural, yet strange coincidences happened around him.
