This study examines the hegemonic articulations of the national and the global, and the constitution of “new” forms of patriotism in select music videos in India. The music videos mobilized aspects of nationalism, globalization, and consumerism in generating ideas around patriotism. The article makes an argument for pursuing the visual as one site where the relationships between national and global in the articulation of patriotism can be tracked. Through a critical visual analysis, these issues are examined in greater detail.
