HSR DIRECTORATE OF CENSUS OPERATIONS . TAMIL NdDft\ FORE'\tVORD The Indian handicrafts are known the world over for their rich variety. grace, elegance and skilled craftsmanship. Nevertheless, a number of handicrafts because of their st:ff competition with fac­ tory made products, non-availahility of raw materials. cxhorbitant increase in the manufacturing cost. IRck of proper marketing facili­ ties for finished products or due to a variety of other reasons have either become extinct or have reached the n:0ribund staQ:e. After independence, however, a numher of schemes were introJucecl by different governll1ent agencies for their growth and de\'e1opment but still this sudden impetus have heiped only a few crafts to flou­ rish and thereby become ~~pinners of foreign exchange [,->, the coun­ try. Despite the unique position being enjoyed by the handicrafts. especially in the rea1m of national economy. the general awareness among the people in the country about our crafts and craftsmen had been deplorably PO('f. Nothing was practically known about the commodities pf0duced. techniques employed for the lT1alll;f'~!cture of different objects, raw materials used. their availability, methods adopted for the sale of finished proclucts etc. An attempt was there­ fore made in connection with the ] 961 Census to study about 150 crafts from different parts of the country with a view to provide basic informdtion on those crafts ')vhich were selected for the study. At the 1971 Census, the study on handicrafts was not taken up but t]lis was again revived in connection with the 1981 Census. There has been, however, some difference behveen the studies taken up in connection with the Censuses of 1961 and 1981. While the 1961 studies have covered both rural and urban crafts, the 1981 studies have focussed their attention only on traditional rural based crafts. That aparL the 1981 studie..:; besides touching upon those as­ pects which were covered under the 19(,1 series. have laid emphasis on matters that are vital for the revival of rural crafts and thereby for the rejuvenation of the economy of the region. particularly the villages. This i£ in consonance with the policy of the government to give due importance to the rural sector with focus on employment intensive strategy of development jn which next to agriculture, the small scale industries and handicrafts playa significant role. The formats required for undertaking the study were formu­ Jated by Dr. K. P. Ittaman under the able guidance of Dr. N.G. Nag. the then Deputy Registrar GeneraL Social Studies Division. Dr. Ittaman who succeeded Dr. Nag as Deputy Registrar General, So­ cial Studies Division co-ordinated the study undertaken in different States / t_; nion Territories by the Directorates of Census Operations. The reports received from the Directorates were examined by Shri M. K. J:lin.

New Delhi, V. S. VERMA the 1st June. ] 988. !?egisl.'l'ar General India PREFACE Crafts study is one of the inter-censaI projects of ]981 Census. til Tam.il Nadu. IV1usiC:.ll hstrul;'::_:nts hclVe b~:cn :;;clec::ted for this pro­ ject. Music ]s inter,-twined with Imrmmity. The mun from time immemorial lived with music in some form or other. As the music is varied in intonation and iteration, the instruments required for -:uch music are also several in kind. The making of such instru­ ments is a fine craft by itself. By studying the various types of musical instruments, one can understand the depth of development that the art attained. Tamil Nadu, which has all along been the domain of Carnatic music, developed its own types of musical instru­ ments. The making of musicai instruments depended mostly on the \-~lr)eties of music f;)r \vhich tf1c Rajahs, Maharajahs gave en­ couragement in their courts and later on the preferences that people had ;n general. 1\1m;ic is the only thing that can stand the test of time. Though as many as 12 musical instruments are manufactured, only some are studied for want of adequate information. The instru­ ments studied such as Veena, Nadaswaram, Mridangam, etc. are in use, from very ancient period and the people who involved in making them arc dcing so from generation to generation. This study not only gives an accOLmt of musical instruments but also and more imDortantly the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the craftsmen making rather creating these wonderful pieces which please YOll, me and everyone in the UEtVerse. This publication is the result of team work and collective responsibility. S l Shri N. Sukumar Nandagopal and T. S. Rajaram. Investigators and Shri Anser Ahmed, Asst.

Verma has in his fore­ ",',lord elaborately dealt with the objectives of the study of rural bas­ ed traditional crafts and also indicated as to how from Census to Census, these crafts are studied. I am deeply grateful to Shri V. S. Verma for his timely guidance and advice in bringing out this publi­ cation. (iii) (iv) 1 thank Dr. lttaman.

  • Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian
    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm. Tal literally means "clap".

    Index of Fieldwork in India 1986 Peter Cooke These recordings were made in 1986 during a visit funded by the Indian High Commission through the auspices of the then functioning Inter University Circuit for Indian Classical Music. The first part of the visit was spent visiting various teaching institutions in India and meeting with highly regarded classical musicians. When this tour finished I remained in India since I was interested in researching the use of the bagpipe in India: this included the Scottish Highland bagpipe which over two centuries was diffusing throughout India and which was played in many Indian army, police and school bands, but also in the indigenous bagpipe which had received rare mention in the scholarly press. After Delhi my visit took me to the foothills of the Himalayas (Almora district) and to Rajasthan where I had arranged to meet with Komal Kothari, the late director of the Rajasthani Folk Music Insitute. We first met at a camp at Dungargarh in the Rajasthan desert where he had assembled a small team of musicians in connection with the filming of a folk drama but then we returned to his home in Jodhpur where numerous musicians came to visit and we enjoyed long hours recording and discussing music together. This latter part included the recording of long epic tales played on the indigenous bagpipe by Bhopa musicians who sang and narrated as they played. The recordings were made on a stellavox stereo reel-to-reel machine with (usually) a crossed-pair of Sennheiser microphones. On return I discovered that a fault in the wiring of one of the microphones had resulted in the stereo recordings being 180 degrees out of phase.
