abstract = "As a {\textquoteleft}global{\textquoteright} Indian and a member of the {\textquoteleft}digital{\textquoteright} diaspora, I have experienced this profound transformation in global media flows first hand. Long gone are the days when I had to scour British media for news {\textquoteleft}from home{\textquoteright}. What I received was often superficial and tinged with a certain kind of superiority inherent in British coverage of what was then called the {\textquoteleft}Third World{\textquoteright}. I would visit London{\textquoteright}s mini-India in Southall to buy weekold newspapers and back issues of news magazines from India. Although London offered a range of entertainment, for someone who grew up with the vast canvas of Indian films, I had to settle for watching poor quality videos of my favourite films. This was late 1980s: pre-globalisation, pre-satellite television and pre-Internet. ",
