This book narrates the history of video technology in India as it made its entry in the 1980s, along with its production and reception practices. Each chapter examines forms that arose with the arrival of video. Specifically, it looks at the widespread explosion of the marriage video, the little-known history of the video film, the intensity associated with the video news magazine, and the explosive imagination attached to the religious video. It focuses on the analog period, showing it as an important inflection point for current debates over new and digital media. Video Culture in India draws on oral histories, discarded tapes, and forgotten archives to unravel the history of analog video in India alongside a broad narrative of the cultural history of the country from the 1980s to the early 1990s.
