520			_aLong before remotes ruled our palms and algorithms curated our choices, there was Doordarshan—the singular, soulful voice of Indian television. In the days of black-and-white screens and fixed evening broadcasts, families across the country gathered around their TV sets not just for entertainment, but for a shared cultural ritual. From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., India paused. News bulletins shaped opinions, Sunday serials inspired conversations, and educational programmes lit sparks of learning in the most unexpected corners. Spanning over three transformative decades, this book is a time capsule of that bygone era. Sheila Chaman, whose career grew alongside the medium, takes us behind the scenes of Doordarshan’s rise—from modest beginnings to becoming a unifying force across the subcontinent. Through vivid recollections and untold anecdotes, she brings to life the people, programmes and pioneering spirit that made DD not just a channel, but a national memory. Whether you’re reminiscing about the charm of old jingles, the gravitas of news anchors, or the dance dramas that unfolded like poetry on screen, this is your journey home. For the older generation, it is a walk down memory lane. For the younger, it is a gentle invitation to rediscover their roots in a quieter, slower India, one frame at a time. https://ombooks.com/product/doordarshan-diaries-the-golden-era-of-television/
