  • Dance-Off Or a Battle for the Future: Dance Reality Shows in India
    CHAPTER 14 DANCE-OFF, OR A BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE Dance Reality Shows in India PALLABI CHAKRAVORTY Hindu mythology tells us that a most reasonable method of settling an argument is a dance-off. The story involves two of the most powerful Hindu deities, Shiva and Kali (who are husband and wife). Once they clashed over territorial dominance of the Thillai forest in the southern part of India. Kali was the patron goddess of the forest and the temple within it. But Shiva, following his two devotees who wanted to worship him in the temple (in the form of his abstract representation called the Shiva lingam), came to dance in the forest. This basically meant that Shiva wanted to occupy the forest and oust Kali. Kali refused to leave and challenged Shiva to enter a dance competition with her on the condition that the loser would leave the forest. Lord Vishnu presided as the judge. Kali (the goddess of Shakti, or power, who is often shown naked in Hindu iconog­ raphy, standing on the chest of her consort Shiva, prostrated beneath her) danced fear­ lessly. She matched Shiva’s every move and every posture with ease and grace. Shiva, the cosmic dancer of the universe, danced his tandava nritya (the cyclic dance of cre­ ative destruction) with fierce intensity. They were unrelenting. They danced for days and nights, but no one won. Then Shiva performed a transgressive act. He cheated. He lifted one of his legs high above his head in what classical dance parlance calls ananda tandavam (the dance of bliss).

UN and CEDAW guidelines as well as Beijing 20 laid emphasis on portrayal on women in media and its linkages with gender empowerment. Content of teleserials became a question of primary concern. As a part of the doctoral study on ‘Gender issues in the Hindi language family based teleserials’, an analysis of the primary themes of the content of 182 teleserials on Youtube over the time frame 2008-2016 was conducted across four popular Hindi channels i.e. Starplus, Zee TV, Sony and Colors within the context of gender. A total of 182 family based teleserials were telecasted across the four identified channels between 2008-2016. Of them, 87 teleserials (47.80%) revolved around women and gender.
