Chapters provide illuminating insights into various aspects of the social, cultural, economic and political realities of contemporary globalised India. Structured thematically and drawing on a broad range of academic disciplines, the book deals with critical issues including:

-   Film, television and TV soaps

-   Folk theatre, Mahabharata-Ramayana ,myths, performance, ideology and religious nationalism

-   Music, dance and fashion

-   Comics, cartoons, photographs, posters and advertising

-   Cyberculture and the software industry

-   Indian feminisms

-   Sports and tourism

-   Food culture

Offering comprehensive coverage of the emerging discipline of popular culture in India, this book is essential reading for courses on Indian popular culture and a useful resource for more general courses in the field of cultural studies, media studies, history, literary studies and communication studies.
