About this title

Every day in the hills of Bhojppur, Pashuram, an old Gandharva, works in his field. He had been a Gaine, a travelling musician by caste. A man who wandered through towns with his Sarangi, spreading information through song. A journalist of the old days. With time, many Gandharvas have migrated and have found new ways to sustain themselves, whereas others still maintain loyalty to their caste, to the occupation, and to the music of their Sarangi.
