Dancing Around India: Chapter 10 – Kathak

It was an effort to rediscover history and reclaim the lost culture. The movements to revive Kathak had arisen from both the Hindu and Muslim Gharanas or Schools, mostly by the community called Katha-Misra. However, the sub-traditions of Kathak based in Jaipur and Lucknow have gained the most scholarship.
