Rezensionen
“With great care, Lakshmi Subramanian draws out Gandhi’s belief in music as a serious, committed, moral and spiritual activity, and his loathing of it being appropriated for parochial manoeuvres. <i>Singing Gandhi’s India</i> is a powerful narrative that investigates this separation. Through this wonderfully crafted work, Subramanian implores us to ask one question of ourselves: <i>why are we truly moved by music?</i>” - <b>T.M. Krishna</b> <br> <br>“As historian, Lakshmi Subramanian has always been curious about the peculiar – researching odd-ball stories, where previously unrelated facts come together to create a whole.” - <b>Jane Borges, Mid-Day</b>
