राग पहाड़ी' का देशकाल, कथा-संसार उन्नीसवीं सदी के मध्य से लेकर बीसवीं सदी से पहले का कुमाऊँ है। कहानी शुरू होती है लाल-काले कपड़े पहने ताल के चक्कर काटती छह रहस्यमय महिलाओं की छवि से जो किसी भयंकर दुर्भाग्य का पूर्वाभास कराती हैं। इन प्रेतात्माओं ने यह तय कर रखा है कि वह नैनीताल के पवित्र ताल को फिरंगी अंग्रेजों के प्रदूषण से मुक्त कराने की चेतावनी दे रही हैं। इसी नैनीताल में अनाथ तिलोत्तमा उप्रेती नामक बच्ची बड़ी हो रही है। जिसके चाचा को 1857 वाली आज़ादी की लड़ाई में एक बाग़ी के रूप में फाँसी पर लटका दिया गया था। कथानक तिलोत्तमा के परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों के साथ-साथ देशी-विदेशी पात्रों के इर्द-गिर्द भी घूमता है जिसमें अमेरिकी चित्रकार विलियम डैम्पस्टर भी शामिल है जो भारत की तलाश करने निकला है। तिलोत्तमा गवाह है उस बदलाव की जो कभी दबे पाँव तो कभी अचानक नाटकीय ढंग से अल्मोड़ा समेत दुर्गम क़स्बों, छावनियों और बस्तियों को बदल रहा है, यानी एक तरह से पूरे भारत को प्रभावित कर रहा है। परम्परा और आधुनिकता का टकराव और इससे प्रभावित कभी लाचार तो कभी कर्मठ पात्रों की जि़न्दगियों का चित्रण बहुत मर्मस्पर्शी ढंग से इस उपन्यास में किया गया है जिसका स्वरूप 'राग पहाड़ी' के स्वरों जैसा है। चित्रकारी के रंग और संगीत के स्वर एक अद्भुत संसार की रचना करते हैं जहाँ मिथक-पौराणिक, ऐतिहासिक-वास्तविक और काल्पनिक तथा फंतासी में अन्तर करना असम्भव हो जाता है। यह कहानी है शाश्वत प्रेम की, मिलन और विछोह की, अदम्य जिजीविषा की।

The Hindi film song has held millions spellbound for nearly eight decades. In this unputdownable ‘labour of love’, India’s leading film song historian, Raju Bharatan, delves deep into his treasure trove to tell us how singing is all about romancing, how composing is all about feelings, how the twain, stardom and songdom, do meet to make the vintage film number a part of the nation’s psyche. He reconstructs song happenings over the last sixty years or so to condense the emotion and passion going into legendary star hook-ups, showing us how with the pairing comes the vibe, with the vibe comes the tune, and with the tune unfolds cinema that is a ‘Madhuballad’ all the way. This volume also describes the creative inputs of music directors, lyricists and singers that go into the making of a Hindi film song. It is a compendium that no one can afford to miss! Raju Bharatan is popularly recognized as the last word on film music in India – as the only one physically there ‘on the scene’ through the decades. His knowledge of Hindustani cinesangeet is matched only by his grip on Indian cricket. He now packs fifty years of musical lore into a work sure to command a niche on your bookshelf.

Yesterday’s Melodies Todays Memories is a rare collection of profiles of all important music-makers of the Hindi Film Industry between 1931 and 1970. It not only gives a biographical background of each music artiste, but it goes further to interview many of the surviving giants and completes the task by listing some of the best songs with which that person is associated. Here are singers that include the whole gamut from KL Saigal to Asha Bhosle, lyricists that include Sahir and Gulzar, music composers from Naushad to RD Burman, artistes that were part-time singers and full time actors like Ashok Kumar, melody queens like Noor Jahan and Lata Mangeshkar, gentlemen lyricists like Prem Dhawan and gentlemen singers like Manna Dey, mischief-makers like Kishore Kumar and rebels without pause like OP Nayyar and Majrooh Sultanpuri. In fact, this book is a house in which all these great talents live happily, each in a separate room, given space for self-expression. The serious research that has gone into this book is evident as you move from one chapter to another, opening layers after layers presented non-seriously. Over 100 music makers are presented this way and many more in a huge single chapter.

The seven letters in Naushad’s name are like the seven notes of Hindustani classical music. After just a few years in films, Naushad (1919-2006) went to rule the Hindi cinema music world for around two decades, beginning with the landmark Rattan (1944). His oeuvre (from 1940 to 2005) consists of an unmatched list of jubilees, many of which are musical milestones such as Andaz (1949), Baiju Bawra (1952), Mother India (1957) and Mughal-e-Azam (1960). No individual stays supreme without putting in tremendous efforts to reach the pinnacle and to stay there as long as possible, as our maestro did. And no composer probably moved so cleverly, behind the scenes, than did Naushad to sustain his hold on the public imagination. Although we continue to marvel at the incredible variety of his mellifluous creations that have withstood the test of time, how little most of us know about Naushad the man. Renowned song historian Raju Bharatan fleshes out the real Naushad – his triumphs and tragedies – bringing into play more than 50 years of personal interaction with the tuneful titan. In the process, the author makes the book more sparking with a string of anecdotal gems. For instance: • How Naushad and his contemporaries despite their professed bonhomie, were fiercely competitive (both musically and monetarily) in their attempts to occupy the ‘top spot’. • How many days of rehearsal were needed for some of the Baiju Bawara masterpieces? • How the immortal compositions of Mughal-e-Azam were recorded in a studio no better than a tin shed. This volume also throws new light on the relations and interactions between Naushad and his singers (especially Suraiya, Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Shamshad Begum); his songwriters (mainly D.N Madhok, Shakeel Badayuni and Majrooh Sultanpuri); and his ‘unsung’ instrumentalists (some of whom were geniuses in their own right).

Winner of the James Tait Black Prize for Biography An autobiographical exploration of the role and meaning of music in our world by one of India's greatest living authors, himself a vocalist and performer. Amit Chaudhuri, novelist, critic, and essayist, is also a musician, trained in the Indian classical vocal tradition but equally fluent as a guitarist and singer in the American folk music style, who has recorded his experimental compositions extensively and performed around the world. A turning point in his life took place when, as a lonely teenager living in a high-rise in Bombay, far from his family’s native Calcutta, he began, contrary to all his prior inclinations, to study Indian classical music. Finding the Raga chronicles that transformation and how it has continued to affect and transform not only how Chaudhuri listens to and makes music but how he listens to and thinks about the world at large. Offering a highly personal introduction to Indian music, the book is also a meditation on the differences between Indian and Western music and art-making as well as the ways they converge in a modernism that Chaudhuri reframes not as a twentieth-century Western art movement but as a fundamental mode of aesthetic response, at once immemorial and extraterritorial. Finding the Raga combines memoir, practical and cultural criticism, and philosophical reflection with the same individuality and flair that Chaudhuri demonstrates throughout a uniquely wide-ranging, challenging, and enthralling body of work.
