About the Book

Pathfinders is an invaluable collection that traces the evolution of different art forms in India. Featuring in-depth and visually rich narratives on both the history and the history makers of Indian art forms since 1950, the set contains six dedicated volumes on Music, Visual Arts, Dance, Literature, Theatre and Cinema. Each volume contains an 'introductory piece' describing the evolution of the particular art form, and an 'end piece' which discusses its contemporary relevance. There are exclusive interviews with legends from their fields interspersed with biographies of exponents of a particular art form. The narrative is rich with facts and interesting anecdotes, while a rare collection of photographs add grandiose to the entire set.

The volumes in the set include:

  • Volume I: Music
  • Volume II: Visual Arts
  • Volume III: Dance
  • Volume IV: Literature
  • Volume V: Theatre
  • Volume VI: Cinema
