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.

The prime objective of this initiative is to highlight the beautiful and colourful aspects of Pakistani society which are often overshadowed by the present environment of violent extremism prevailing in this part of the world. As the name of the magazine, Pas-e-Parda suggests, it is aimed at showing a Pakistan that we normally do not see in the media. It will tell the stories of courage and optimism of Pakistanis who have suffered enormously in the fight against extremism which has been corroding their society for decades. It will reflect the rich culture and diversity of Pakistani society and stories will reflect the resilience of Pakistanis. The release of the first edition of this magazine is indebted to a number of contributors from various parts of the world who are linked culturally and socially to Pakistan. Foremost among those individuals are: - Sarah Ferozedean - Saira Niazi - Sahar Amin - Rehman Anwer On behalf of Faith Matters, we express our sincere gratitude to all of the above contributors. Faith Matters Pakistan © Copyright Faith Matters Pakistan 2012 Stargazing in Lahore – Connecting Beyond A day before I flew out to Lahore I went to Argos and bought three large boxes of Duracell batteries for my cheap second-hand Olympus camera.
