Los Angeles a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomu
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles FIND THE TRUE COUNTRY: DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND THE SELF IN INDIA’S NATIONAL CULTURE A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by VIVEK VIRANI 2016 © Copyright by Vivek Virani 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Find the True Country: Devotional Music and the Self in India’s National Culture by Vivek Virani Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Daniel M. Neuman, Chair For centuries, the songs of devotional poet-saints have been an integral part of Indian religious life. Countless regional traditions of bhajans (devotional songs) have been able to maintain their existence by adapting to serve the contemporary social needs of their participants. This dissertation draws on fieldwork conducted over 2014-2015 with contemporary bhajan performers from many different genres and styles throughout India. It highlights a specific tradition in the Central Indian region of Malwa based on poetry by Kabir and other Sants (anti- establishment poet-saints) performed by lower-caste singers. This tradition was largely unheard- of half a century ago, but is now a major part of Malwa’s cultural life that has facilitated the creation of lower-caste spiritual networks and created a space for those networks to engage in discourse about social issues. Malwa’s bhajan singers have also become part of India’s popular ii religious and musical life as certain performers have attained celebrity status and been recognized at the national level as living bearers of the Sant tradition. This dissertation follows performers and songs from Malwa into new contexts and explores the processes by which performers and audiences in diverse styles and contexts use Sant bhajans to construct understandings of the self.

India Today We Want More
India Today: We want more 13/07/10 1:40 PM Print Close We want more July 9, 2010 It's tough packing in those extra things we like to do in our everyday schedule. And, with so many things vying for our limited attention span, it's even tougher! But there are people who stretch themselves and walk that extra mile to do just that. Needless to say, creative satisfaction marks their identity. "Time is just an excuse; we end up doing what we enjoy the most. And I enjoy everything I do," says 28-year-old Archana Prasad. A painter, poet, and a video artist, she is also the guiding force behind two community art projects in the city. Her latest, Jaaga (Space), is nearly a year old. What started with the need for a community space has resulted in the first-of-its-kind architecture-cum-art project in the city. It has been created as a space where people could meet, talk, exchange ideas and show each other's work. "We found unused space in the middle of the city, and Naresh Narasimhan, of architecture firm Venkataramanan Associates, was kind enough to give it to us for three months," says Prasad. When it opened eight months ago, visitors came in out of curiosity. Today, Jaaga is abuzz with people and events. Impressed with its concept and activities, Narasimhan extended the lease to six months, and then, to an infinite period. Prasad studied animation from NID after a bachelor's degree in painting and a master's in art history.
