How do different cultures consume popular media?
In India: By far the most popular forms of media are Bollywood/other Indian movies and the music associated with them. CDs or DVDs of these are usually a fair bit cheaper than foreign music or movies (as well as cassettes, though those are obviously on their way out). A ton of pirating goes on, of both Indian media and foreign media, often for absurdly low prices from a small hole-in-the-wall shop somewhere. Torrents are very popular and so is Youtube. On campuses, file-sharing programs run on the LAN allowed easy access to a lot of media by all the students.
