"Using classical music as a case study, the author offers a provocative account of how the emergence of an "Indian" cultural tradition reflected exclusionary colonial practices." --Bookshelf, "Two Men and Music stands out in describing a specifically Indian modernity and the place of indigenous musical traditions in it. Joining insightful historical research to dexterous cultural theory, Bakhle reminds us that modernity, like music itself, needs ever to be thought of in the plural.She offers an Indian case-in-point of the broader lesson that "classical" musics the world over have taken shape from the refracting of earlier traditions through multiple modernities."--Gary Tomlinson, author of Metaphysical Song: An Essay on Opera, "A brilliantly researched book that adds a new dimension to the inventionof tradition. Two Men and Music is required reading not only for historians ofSouth Asian modernity, but for all interested in the sociology of the politicsof identity."--Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of A Critique of PostcolonialReason, "Janaki Bakhle makes a major, pioneering contribution to the history of Indian classical music. Classical music in India is generally viewed as an expression of successful cultural resistance to colonialism. Bakhle demonstrates in this telling critique that, to the contrary, the world ofclassical music advanced the exclusionary tendencies of the colonialist and nationalist projects. There is simply no history quite like this."--Gyan Prakash, author of Another Reason, "Janaki Bakhle makes a major, pioneering contribution to the history ofIndian classical music.

Synopsis
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.
