Part Of The Themes In Politics Series, This Reader Examines The Emergence Of The Indian Public Sphere And Its Interplay With Politics, Society, And Culture. The Volume Surveys A Wide Range Of Communication Media Contributing To This Development-Oral, Print, Radio, Television, Cinema, And The Internet-Through An Analysis Of The Transition From The Colonial To The Postcolonial Period. The Essays Show That Mediation Is A Social Process That Extends Beyond The Media And Must Be Understood As A Component Of Historical Dynamics. They Explore A Wide Range Of Historical And Political Mediations-From The Use Of The Drum And Buffalo Horn As Instruments Of Peasant Insurgency Against The British, And Early Hindi Pulp Fiction, To Socio-Political Implications Of Advertising, Hindu Tele-Epics, Saas-Bahu Serials, And The Internet. Identifying The Continuities And Changes In Media From An Interdisciplinary Perspective, The Essays Are Organized Into Four Themes-The Formation Of A Colonial Public Sphere; The Emergence Of A National Popular Domain; Transformations In National Developmentalism; And Emergent Orders Such As Consumerism And Digital Culture. A Comprehensive Introduction Provides An Understanding Of Indian Media Through The Analytical Framework Of The Public Sphere. Contributors C.A. Bayly Rajeev Dhavan Peter G. Friedlander K.
