According to Mame Khan, Maand is not just a form of folk music but something way beyond that. It can be considered to be the spirit and essence of the land and the people of Rajasthan; an ode to the way of desert life including landscape, culture, hardships and everything. Even the different regions of Rajasthan have their own style of Maand. Furthermore, he elucidates the nuanced technicalities of the folk music and its deviations from the classical oeuvre. Besides, he also emphasizes the socio-historical implication of the music and how the sense of community reigns instead of religious divisions!
