National Book Trust Select Stalwarts Of Hindustani Classical Music by Uma Vasudev
The book Consists of short but rare biographical portraits of 16 famous classical musicians of India who played not only a significant but a resurgent role in popularising Indian music. This began first with a newly curious, culture sensitive Indian listener then increasingly all across the world. The present profits are based on personal interviews taken by the author and most of these were published in The Illustrated Weekly of India, a Times of India Publications, in the late nineteen fifties.
