  • The Scratch® Music of the Ganges December 29 2020-January 7 2021

    THE SCRATCH® MUSIC OF THE GANGES DECEMBER 29 2020-JANUARY 7 2021 You are invited to join Tony and Annie Hastings and our guest lecturer Manvinder Rattan on a unique voyage - a musical journey on the holiest river in India and its tributaries, the Hooghly and Bhagirathi rivers. THE BOAT RV Bengal Ganga is a classic river boat in the grand style, family owned and managed. Although it was only built in 1979, its teak, mahogany, brass and rattan fittings give it an elegant, old-fashioned sense of style, which is complemented by its friendly and attentive crew. The cabins are all twin-bedded, and have en-suite facilities. All cabins are air-conditioned. A typical cabin En-suite bathroom The saloon The upper deck THE MUSIC We are very lucky to have with us Manvinder Rattan, a distinguished conductor and choral trainer who has family roots in the Punjab, but is based in the UK. He was our guest conductor on the Scratch® Rendezvous with Rajasthan in 2015. He will be giving us, through a series of short lectures and interactive vocal workshops, a gentle introduction to Indian music, which will then be illustrated at various points in the voyage by local performers who will be invited on board. I’ll let him speak for himself: From the courtly elegance of Mogul ragas, to the sensuous tones of the Carnatic tradition, via the impassioned ecstasy of Sufi Qawwal, to the earthy tones of Bengali folk music, India's music reflects its almost immeasurable diversity. On this trip, I will endeavour to be a bridge between our western culture and its musical heritage and that of some of India's.

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.
