Music and Musicians in Late Mughal India - Histories of the Ephemeral, 1748–1858

"Based on a vast, virtually unstudied archive in Indian languages and Persian, this book reawakens the lost voices of celebrated Indian musicians, men and women, who endured the momentous transition from Mughal to British rule. It will appeal to readers interested in Indian music, global music history, South Asian history, empire and colonialism"--
