Kumar Sanu : Caste, Catharsis and Enigma of Melody – Yogesh Maitreya

Description

This book is uniquely a fresh narrative and moves beyond redundant frameworks to understand popular culture. It begins from the interiority of experiences which stand far from the eyes of cultural elites and brahminical lens. Then it swiftly takes us to the time shared by all us, across castes and class, shaped by the voice of legendary Kumar Sanu. It introduces us to the culture of melody that captivated hearts across castes and yet, how we failed to understand the time in which music manifests the alienation from social realities.
