Imagine - Season 18 (2011)

Know what this is about? Be the first one to add a plot.

The arts series takes a road trip round the desert state of Rajasthan, meeting musicians whose existence is under threat from the new India. They meet Bhopa bards who recite four-night-long epics in front of huge hand-painted scrolls, saffron-clad, chillum-smoking sisters, cross-dressers and Gypsy dancers who literally bend over backwards to pick up rupees.

The history of the books since the scroll until the e-book and how the digital revolution is reshaping the traditional book, the publishing market, the authors and their readers.
