    Songs from the Other Side: Listening to Pakistani Voices in India

    SONGS FROM THE OTHER SIDE: LISTENING TO PAKISTANI VOICES IN INDIA John Shields Caldwell A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music (Musicology). Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Michael Figueroa Jayson Beaster-Jones David Garcia Mark Katz Pavitra Sundar © 2021 John Shields Caldwell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John Shields Caldwell: Songs from the Other Side: Listening to Pakistani Voices in India (Under the direction of Michael Figueroa) In this dissertation I investigate how Indian listeners have listened to Pakistani songs and singing voices in the period between the 1970s and the present. Since Indian film music dominates the South Asian cultural landscape, I argue that the movement of Pakistani songs into India is both a form of resistance and a mode of cultural diplomacy. Although the two nations share a common history and an official language, cultural flows between India and Pakistan have been impeded by decades of political enmity and restrictions on trade and travel, such that Pakistani music has generally not been able to find a foothold in the Indian songscape. I chart the few historical moments of exception when Pakistani songs and voices have found particular vectors of transmission by which they have reached Indian listeners. These moments include: the vinyl invasion of the 1970s, when the Indian market for recorded ghazal was dominated by Pakistani artists; two separate periods in the 1980s and 2000s when Pakistani female and male vocalists respectively sang playback in Indian films; the first decade of the new millennium when international Sufi music festivals brought Pakistani singers to India; and the 2010s, when Pakistani artists participated extensively in television music competition shows.

  • Panel's Title : Dancing Girls and Courtesans

    Panel’s title : Dancing Girls and Courtesans: Historicizing a Fixation in South Asia Coordinator (Affiliation, University...): Dr. Nida Sajid (Georg-August-University Goettingen) Language : Français / English : English Topics : Gender ; History ; Literature ; Politics ; Culture Panel presentation : Once considered valuable adjuncts to elite social communities all over India because of the performance traditions they cultivated and the customs of courtesy and religion they practised, tawaifs and devadasis (jointly called courtesans) have figured consistently, often prominently, in histories and private correspondence as well as in South Asian literary and popular cultural texts for more than 200 years. As women who occupied space and sometimes wielded influence in the Indian public sphere from the 17th to the 20th century, courtesans, it could be argued, contributed to the historical consolidation of modernity in India. And yet, throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they were subjected to a multi-pronged campaign to marginalize them, one that sought to classify them and their performances as ‘obscene' and so outside the norms of ‘respectable', modern society. But this attempt to suppress their music and dance traditions and exclude them from the public sphere, paradoxically, put tawaifs and devadasis at the forefront of debates and controversies among social reformers, colonial officials, and middle-class (male and female) nationalists, according them a centrality in colonial and nationalist political thought, legal and political policies, and the construction of modern gender imperatives for women and girls. The papers in our panel will examine the representation of specific courtesans in terms of their own historical contexts, discuss their contributions to the art, dance, and history of modern India, and theorize their continuing relevance to us in the 21st century.

Though these states were diverse in terms of their orientation and power base, yet they relied on the ‘broad conception of power sharing and a political economy that was geared to greater commercialization and to military contingencies’ (Subramanian, 2010: 21). The power was vested in the ownership of land and the emergence of dominant class in the form of rural and revenue intermediaries, including some commercial groups who invested in revenue farming. Historians have attested to the primacy of mercantile class in the emerging economy of eighteenth century. The new regional states exhibited close relations between the ‘merchants and the rulers. It paved way for an extended cash nexus, commercialisation and social mobility, and by extension a new sense of power management and governance (Subramanian, 2010: 3). The provincial capitals of these states exhibited the mobility and aspirations of new and old social groups who apart from being political game changers helped in shaping the cultural milieu of the region. The intermediary groups emerged as the kingmakers and their support or lack of it determined the future of the ruler and the political orientation of the state. A micro study of the provincial capitals will enable us to comprehend the vibrant economic activities and commercial exchanges that took place in these regions.
