Live stream event from Varanasi
Hosted by Diptarup G.:
There is a distinctly established system of Indian classical music that has been extant for centuries and is kept alive across the country in traditional schools of music called gharanas. However, following the rise of rock music in the mid-20 th century in the US and UK and given the inclination of rock musicians towards eastern cultures, there was an influx of western influences in the Indian mind that led to the beginnings of rock music in Indian cities. Until recently, rock had been a very underground and under-rated musical form not quite understood or appreciated by the common masses. In recent years though, Indian rock music is slowly reaching out to make a mark on the global stage. This talk is a walkthrough of the general trajectory of rock music in India. If you love listening to music and want to explore the rock music scene in India, this is the ideal tour for you!

I’m Dr Diptarup Ghosh Dastidar, a research fellow at Banaras Hindu University, India. My PhD thesis deals with comics studies and spatiality, but my interests span farther wide into popular culture, gender studies, and Indology. I have taught at various universities in India and am currently teaching literature and language to school kids in Uttar Pradesh. Living in the historic city of Varanasi (aka Benares), I have been driven into learning and talking about ancient Indian scriptures, mythology, and philosophy. I am very passionate about socialising and I love lecturing! I’m also a musician and vocalist in the alt-rock band – The Spring Leaves – while I’m not teaching, or reading! I hope that I’ll be able to add some value to your experience with World Virtual Tours. Cheers!
