In Reshaping Art, T. M.\n Krishna examines what art is and how we can harness its power to make\n ourselves and our communities open and sensitive. Well known for his attempts\n to break Karnatik music out of its high-caste confines, the author takes us\n through a journey of understanding what art means to different groups of\n people and the ways in which we all create and enjoy it. He then asks\n important questions about how art is made, performed and disseminated, and\n addresses crucial issues of caste, class and gender within society while\n exploring the contours of democracy, culture and learning.
