Book excerpt: This text examines the ramifications of the intertwined and overlapping histories of Britain and India on English music in the last fifty years of the colonial encounter, and traces the effects of the British Raj on the English musical imagination. Through a series of case studies, author Nalini Ghuman integrates music directly into the cultural history of the British Raj, revealing unexpected minglings of peoples, musics, and ideas that raise questions about 'Englishness', about the nature of Empire, and about the fixedness of identity.
