The dramatic expansion of the media and communications sector since
the 1990s has brought South Asia on the global scene as a major
center for media production and consumption. This book is the first
overview of media expansion and its political ramifications in
South Asia during these years of economic reforms. From the
puzzling liberalization of media under military dictatorship in
Pakistan to the brutal killings of journalists in Sri Lanka, and
the growing influence of social media in riots and political
protests in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, the chapters analyse some
of the most important developments in the media fields of
contemporary South Asia. Attentive to colonial histories as well as
connections within and beyond South Asia in the age of
globalization, the chapters combine theoretically grounded studies
with original empirical research to unravel the dynamics of media
as politics. The chapters are organized around the three frames of
participation, control and friction. They bring to the fore the
double edged nature of publicity and containment inherent in media,
thereby advancing postcolonial perspectives on the massive media
transformation underway in South Asia and the global South more
broadly. For the first time bringing together the cultural,
regulatory and social aspects of media expansion in a single
perspective, this interdisciplinary book fills the need for
overview and analytical studies on South Asian media.
