Constructing Regionalism: Discourses of Spirituality and Cultural Poverty in the Popular Music of Uttarakhand, North India

Each of these discourses may be understood to support cultural regionalism not merely as an end in itself, but as part of a larger articulation of capitalist modernity wherein local elites, state institutions, private media, and 'folklore' studies all stand to gain from the construction of regional difference. This study is a modest effort to trace the growth of cultural regionalism across the historical depth and geographic breadth of the popular music industry, with an eye on the socio-cultural repercussions that such a process necessarily entails.
