Sanskritization Or Appropriation : Caste and Gender in “Indian” Music and Dance
Savari adivasi bahujan and dalit women conversing http://www.dalitweb.org Sanskritization or Appropriation : Caste and Gender in “Indian” Music and Dance Sreebitha P. V Two recent articles in The Hindu address the question of caste and gender in Indian Music and Dance. The first article titled ‘Sanskritization and Culture’, highlights the fact that many artists from the field of dance and music have rejected and embraced Sanskritization at different points in history. The second article, ‘No caste, no creed and no gender’ is an excerpt from the book A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story by the acclaimed vocalist T. M. Krishna. This gives us a glimpse of the caste, gender and religious bias in the world of Karnatik music. However, what struck me was that the figure of MS Subbulakshmi has been mentioned by both writers. Both talk of her as a woman who originally hailed from a Devadasi community and later acquired a respectable position in the world of Indian classical music either through the process of Sanskritization or by getting married to a Brahmin. Krishna does not give any direct reference to Sanskritization but says that she became a Mira from a Dasi in her husband’s house. According to him her actual positioning and social transformation is a product of the work of men in society, especially those constructing the modern Karnatik story. M. N. Srinivas defined Sanskritization as a process by which “a “low” Hindu caste, or tribal or other group, changes its customs, ritual, ideology, and way of life in the direction of a high, and frequently, “twice-born” caste” (Social Change.
