Abstract

This article traces the genealogy of the chief Hindustani musicians to the Mughal emperors from Akbar (r.1556-1605) down to Bahadur Shah Zafar (r. 1837-58), for the first time from contemporaneous written sources. It includes a great deal of information about the written sources available for Hindustani music history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The original paper was published in a very limited print-only run in India. I have therefore uploaded a substantially revised version here for "open peer review".
