A Storm Of Songs: India And The Idea Of The Bhakti Movement

A widely-accepted explanation for India's national unity is a narrative called the bhakti movement—poet-saints singing bhakti from India's southern tip to the Himalayas between 600 and 1600. John Hawley shows that this narrative, with its political overtones, was created by the early-twentieth-century circle around Rabindranath Tagore in Bengal.
