| Synopsis: | Mishra acknowledges the proliferation of independent TV stations and visual media in India, but also asserts that cinema remains at the centre of national unity in the realm of mass culture. This unity is displayed in Bombay cinema (as opposed to regional, locally defined and multi-language cinema), because it transcends class and language by emphasizing the myths and traditions of the Indian social order, specifically in its epic genre. How this functions for the Asian diaspora is also examined. The chapter on the diaspora is available in the TABB folders. | |
