[...]it was television replicating the history of Indian cinema which too had its beginnings-pan-Indian in reach and impact-in mythologicals inaugurated by Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harishchandra. The TV screen normalised North Indian mise en scene-architectural details, colour schemes, interior decoration, domestic settings, utensils, exteriors denuded of all signs of contemporaneity and locality, etc-in which the puranic narratives unfolded, etching them in the viewers' minds. Regulatory authorities like Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and systems like conditional access system and their conditionalities and deadlines for digitalisation of television connectivity across the country have further facilitated the big global players to swallow the smaller local players.
