His popularity in Europe and America as an Oriental male dancer in the first half of the 20th century, and his worldwide recognition as the Ambassador of Indian culture, are brought into a historiographical perspective within the cultural and social reforms of early twentieth century India. By exploring his artistic journey beyond India in the period between the two world wars, and his experience of dance making, presentational technique and representation of India through various phases of his life, a path is forged to understanding the emergence of modernity in Indian dance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUrmimala Sarkar Munsi is Associate Professor in the School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.
