| Abstract: | This paper deconstructs the representations of state-of-the-art colour television sets in India through close textual analysis of print advertisements that appeared in leading national news magazines such as India Today from 1991 to 2001. It argues that the advertisements are indicative of the innovative strategies - such as the home theatre - that are being used by leading manufacturers in the Indian electronics industry to promote television as a technology capable of bringing the outside world inside the home.
