Description

Explore the first social history of music in undivided Punjab from 1800 to 1947. Published by Oxford University Press, this book traces musical evolution from the Lahore court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh to the Patiala royal darbar. It provides new evidence regarding the importance of classical music and female performers in a region often categorized only by folk music. Readers will learn about a diverse range of musical figures, including mirasis (bards), kalawants (elite musicians), kanjris (subaltern female performers), and tawaifs (courtesans). The text also examines how the rise of an anglicized Punjabi middle class helped shape new musical publics during the colonial era. This work is an essential resource for those studying South Asian musicology and social history.
