This article explores the interaction between a kingdom on the Himalayan frontier and colonial rule. Drawing on recent anthropological research regarding the local expression of political sovereignty through 'government by deity' (devta ka raj), it aims to reinterpret the actions taken by Bashahr's ruling class in relation to their colonial superiors. As British interests in modernisation and forestry challenged the rulers' power base, the latter devised alternative methods in order to retain their authority. The increasing contestation of power in the latter half of the nineteenth century gradually polarised the kingdom's ruling strata between those advocating accommodation to British rule and those bent on retaining their independence. The culmination of this process saw a transformed kingship in early twentieth-century Bashahr.

It may at first seem perfectly selfevident that a porn filmmaker would want to borrow from the conventions of reality TV. Cinematic pornography has, as Linda Williams suggests, concerned itself with proving its own authenticity since its inception.1 And reality TV attempts to depict "the real world," right? In fact, generally speaking, it doesn't. A closer look at reality TV reveals its patently "false settings [and] contrived situations," and we should not make the mistake of assuming that its audience is not happily aware of this.2 Although the genre has arguably been around at least since the 1973 televising of An American Family on PBS, MTV's The Real World is generally credited with having ushered in the era marked by its current incarnation. The genre has progressed quite a bit since and has become increasingly self-conscious, a fact that is not lost on its fans. As Jeffrey Sconce puts it, the "'reality' in reality TV is merely one of many fluid plot conventions and not an inviolable foundation."
