Book Synopsis Singing a Hindu Nation by : Anna Schultz
Book excerpt: Singing a Hindu Nation is a study of rāgsgtrīya kīrtan, a western Indian performance medium that combines song, Hindu philosophical discourse, and nationalist storytelling. Author Anna Schultz demonstrates how, through this particular form of musical performance, the political becomes devotional, and explores why it motivates people to action and violence.
