Art history as it is largely practiced in Asia as well as in the West is a western invention. In India, works of art-sculptures, monuments, paintings-were first viewed under colonial rule as archaeological antiquities, later as architectural relics, and by the mid-20th century as works of art within an elaborate art-historical classification. Tied to these views were narratives in which the works figured, respectively, as sources from which to recover India's history, markers of a lost, antique civilization, and symbols of a nation's unique aesthetic, reflecting the progression from colonialism to nationalism. The nationalist canon continues to dominate the image of Indian art in India and abroad, and yet its uncritical acceptance of the discipline's western orthodoxies remains unquestioned, the original motives and means of creation unexplored. The book examines the role of art and art history from both an insider and outsider point of view, always revealing how the demands of nationalism have shaped the concept and meaning of art in India. The author shows how western custodianship of Indian "antiquities" structured a historical interpretation of art; how indigenous Bengali scholarship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries attempted to bring Indian art into the nationalist sphere; how the importance of art as a representation of national culture crystallized in the period after Independence; and how cultural and religious clashes in modern India have resulted in conflicting "histories" and interpretations of Indian art. In particular, the author uses the depiction of Hindu goddesses to elicit conflicting scenarios of condemnation and celebration, both of which have at their core the threat and lure of the female form, which has been constructed and narrativized in art history. Monuments, Objects, Histories is a critical survey of the practices of archaeology, art history, and museums in nineteenth- and twentieth-century India. The essays gathered here look at the processes of the production of lost pasts in modern India: pasts that come to be imagined around a growing corpus of monuments, archaeological relics, and art objects. They map the scholarly and institutional authority that emerged around such structures and artifacts, making of them not only the chosen objects of art and archaeology but also the prime signifiers of the nation's civilization and antiquity. The close imbrication of the "colonial" and the "national" in the making of India's archaeological and art historical pasts and their combined legacy for the postcolonial present form one of the key themes of the book. Monuments, Objects, Histories offers both an insider's and an outsider's perspective on the growth of these scholarly fields and their institutional apparatus, analyzing the ways they have constituted and recast their objects of study. The book moves from a period that saw the consolidation of western expertise and custodianship of India's "antiquities," to the projection over the twentieth century of varying regional, nativist, and national claims around the country's architectural and artistic inheritance, into a current period that has pitched these objects and fields within a highly contentious politics of nationhood. Monuments, Objects, Histories traces the framing of an official national canon of Indian art through these different periods, showing how the workings of disciplines and institutions have been tied to the pervasive authority of the nation. At the same time, it addresses the radical reconfiguration in recent times of the meaning and scope of the "national," leading to the kinds of exclusions and chauvinisms that lie at the root of the current endangerment of these disciplines and the monuments and art objects they encompass.

This Book Is An Attempt At A Rational Reconstruction Of The Fundamental Principles Of Indian Musicology And Tries To Indicate How The Basic Aesthetic Appeal Of The Ragas Could Be Best Interpreted. Challenging The Idea That Indian Music Is A Closed Orthodox Set Of So-Called Rigid Rules And Principles, It Treats Indian Music As Rooted In Man S Spiritual Vision. Music Unfolds This Vision Spontaneously Through Proportionate Note-Sequences And It Is The Unending Pilgrimage Of Man, Which Opens Richer And Greater Horizons Where Man Can Find His Home To Be A Hernmitage Of Abiding Peace And Blissful Joy. Throughout The Book There Runs A Single Thread, Namely, The Transcendental Dimension Of The Spiritual Vision In Aesthetic Enjoyment, As Reflected In The Musical Creativity Of India, From The Ancient Period. The Criticism Of The So-Called Gharana System Together With A Criticism Of The Traditional Tala System And Other Allied Issues Regarding The Concepts Of Raga And Rasa Will Be Helpful To The Scholars And Researches In This Field. The Distinctive Feature Of This Book Is The Treatment Of The Revolutionary Experiments Of Rabindranath Tagore On Indian Music And Its Musicology. This Section Will Stimulate Specialists And General Readers Alike. This Book Is A Must For Western Readers.
