| Prime Time Soap Operas on Indian Television |
|
This is the first book to examine prime time soap operas on Indian television. It examines five prime time soaps, and argues that this particular genre of popular culture provides important resources for insights into contemporary social issues and practices.
Meticulously researched and persuasively argued, the book tracks how prime time soaps in India have made the small screen a big medium in reaching out to people. It 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.

Focusing on the complex constructions of family, tradition, 'Indian-ness' and gender, the book also analyzes narrative structures of soaps in the context of their fractured and never-ending time frames and plot outlines.
