This paper examines the ninth season of the reality television franchise India’s Got Talent (IGT), focusing on its thematic shift towards "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-Reliant India) and the construction of a unified national identity through diversity. By analyzing the selection of winners, the judging panel's discourse, and the editing techniques employed during the broadcast, this study argues that Season 9 moved beyond mere entertainment to function as a soft-power vehicle for nationalist sentiment. The paper explores how the show balanced traditional variety formats with modern digital consumption habits, ultimately presenting a curated vision of Indian talent that prioritizes social uplift narratives over pure skill-based competition.

India’s Got Talent Season 9 succeeded not merely by displaying skill, but by constructing a narrative of aspirational Indianness. By crowning Divyansh and Manuraj, the show validated a version of Indian identity that is syncretic, self-made, and rooted in tradition yet modern in presentation. The season stands as a case study in how global reality formats are localized to reflect domestic socio-political currents, proving that in Indian television, talent is rarely judged in a vacuum—it is judged through the lens of struggle, unity, and national pride.
