Singing a Hindu Nation: Marathi Devotional Performance and Nationalism
Schultz, Anna (Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology, Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA)
Singing a Hindu Nation is a study of rags>riya kirtan, a western Indian performance medium that combines song, Hindu philosophical discourse, and nationalist storytelling. Author Anna Schultz demonstrates how, through this particular form of musical performance, the political becomes devotional, and explores why it motivates people to action and violence.
