  Are the performing arts, both elaborate and simple forms, alive in India in modern times? Is it still a land of musicians and magicians, of singing actors and dancers, and of lives of gods and heroes as belonging to one's own social world? Can older traditions continue to develop into the future? This book seeks to answer these questions.
