The historical impact of caste on instrumental music in Carnatic and Hindustani traditions reveals deep-seated social hierarchies that have significantly influenced the development, performance, and pedagogy of these musical forms. This study explores the historical impact of caste on instrumental music within the Carnatic and Hindustani traditions of India. The introduction establishes the significance of music as a cultural expression shaped by socio-political dynamics, particularly the caste system, which has stratified Indian society for centuries. This paper provides an overview of the caste system in India, highlighting its hierarchical structure and implications for various art forms, the distinct characteristics of Carnatic and Hindustani music traditions are examined, focusing on their origins, evolution, and stylistic differences. The historical context of caste and music in India reveals how caste has influenced the development of musical practices and the status of musicians over time. The relationship between caste and patronage in both traditions, illustrating how social hierarchies have affected access to resources and opportunities for musicians. Finally, we analyzes the impact of caste on the choice of instruments, showing that certain instruments are often associated with specific castes, thereby influencing their acceptance, training, and performance contexts. This research underscores the intricate interplay between caste and music, revealing how deeply ingrained social structures have shaped the artistic landscape of India.
