Between 1902 (the year the first gramophone recording was made in India), and 1952 (the year the Indian governmentbanned women public performers from singing on the national radio unless they met certain conditions of 'respectability'),feminine public performers fell from social and political favour. By studying non-fictional sources that deal with cis andtrans women from traditional performing communities, I wish to understand how public discourse shaped and mirroredchanging notions of gender, performance, and identity during this significant and under-researched period in Indianhistory.

从1902年（第一张留声机唱片在印度录制的那一年）到1952年（印度政府禁止女性公共表演者在国家广播电台唱歌，除非她们满足某些“受人尊敬”的条件），女性公共表演者在社会和政治上受到了青睐。通过研究非虚构的来源，处理从传统的表演社区的顺式和反式妇女，我希望了解公众话语如何塑造和mirroredchanging性别，性能和身份的概念，在这个重要的和研究不足的时期在印度历史。
