Remember a time when All India Radio and shows like Rangoli<\/em> and Surabhi<\/em> on Doordarshan were the only way we could listen to music? Remember when television sets were rare and we trooped over to a relative or neighbour’s house to watch Mahabharat on Sunday mornings?<\/p>\n

We’re getting nostalgic even thinking about a time in our lives when we received all our news, entertainment and information from our television sets. Even in black and white, these screens were the prized possessions of most homes.<\/p>\n

Before there was Netflix and even before we had cable TV, we had shows on Doordarshan that taught us a bit about the world. For a lot of us who were growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, shows on Doordarshan were our windows to the world. We learnt about the country, about the world and ourselves.<\/p>\n

But few things brought us closer to our neighbouring states and taught us what it means to be Indian like the iconic song\u00a0Mile Sur Mera Tumhara<\/em>.
