A provocative account of the development of modern national culture
in India using classical music as a case study. Janaki Bakhle
demonstrates how the emergence of an "Indian" cultural tradition
reflected colonial and exclusionary practices, particularly the
exclusion of Muslims by the Brahmanic elite, which occurred despite
the fact that Muslims were the major practiti oners of the Indian
music that was installed as a "Hindu" national tradition. This book
lays bare how a nation's imaginings--from politics to
culture--reflect rather than transform societal divisions.
