Abstract

‘Reality television’ is the product of twentieth-century technology culture that incorporates a wide range of media activities including talent shows, documentary series and celebrity shows. One of the frequently discussed issues in the current scholarship is the representation of multiculturalism in western ‘reality shows’, particularly of South Asian families and their lives. The current issue remains as a genuine attempt to capture, analyse and theorize a number of highly important categories of ‘reality television’ in South Asian scholarship.
