There are books which are relatively easy to classify this
is one such book. Telling the story of how television has evolved over the
years, from Nehruvian India to the satellite T V age, may seem like a
commonplace thing to do, considering the part that television has come to play
in our lives, but it has rarely been attempted in any comprehensive fashion. As
the author outlines in the prologue, there have been studies that focused on the
pre-liberalization years, as also the initial years of the satellite television
age. But it is the story of the last decade or so, when 24-hour news channels
appeared to radically transform television and its impact on society and
politics, which has not been chronicled significantly.
This book attempts to fill that gap. But to explain
why and how television has come to be an important cog in the wheel of Indian democracy
and a vital ingredient in our social life, it goes back in time to narrate how
the Indian state maintained a stranglehold over television till the early 90s
and the manner in which satellite television made its entry into India in an
illegal roundabout way It talks of how Indian capitalists ushered international
agencies in the satellite revolution, later shedding their difference to
reverse the power equations, a journey that saw the launch of nearly 300
channels in less than a decade. It deals with the Indian state and how its transformation
can be traced through the changing nature of its broadcast law, a phenomenon
that has been the state slowly let go of control, albeit reluctantly There is
an assessment of the role that advertising has played in the growth of
television, seen in the backdrop of the rapid strides taken by Indian
capitalism in the post-liberalisation era.
