A presentation on Hindustani Music by Urmila Bhirdikar, Associate Professor of Sociology, Shiv Nadar University who is a trained, non-professional Khayal singer
In this presentation Urmila Bhirdikar will revisit the archive of north Indian music in colonial India with an argument that highlights issues in caste, gender and sexuality.
