This document discusses how rasa theory from classical Indian dramaturgy can be found in modern TV news broadcasts. It provides background on rasa theory and identifies the nine rasas - emotions or sentiments - described in the ancient text Natyashastra: shringara, hasya, karuna, raudra, veera, bhayanaka, vibhaysa, adbhuta, and shanta. It then analyzes how different news programs aim to evoke these rasas in viewers, such as portraying karuna (pathos) during coverage of terrorist attacks or raudra (anger) during protests. The document concludes that watching the news can provide audiences with a variety of rasa experiences just as classical art
