Bu...I didn't really want to engage in a debate. But you being you, I wanted to put together a few responses. I dont intend to prolong this further. <br /><br />/ Mr Rajesh Garga has supported the award committee/<br /><br />/I do not know of any standards to determine if he is worthy of the award or not. The Board of Trustees have chosen him for the award and I congratulate him for the honor and wish him the very best to take his effort in bringing Carnatic music to the larger world./<br /><br />So Ram starts off by misquoting me. 😃 My steak is not with the award, nor is it with if the awardee is worthy of it. I only mentioned what I felt are issues that needs to be addressed and issues that a group proclaims does not exist.<br /><br />/Honestly I am at a loss to understand the meaning of the word inclusiveness. /<br /><br />You seem to have not understood the meaning of the word. In that aspect you have stated the truth. Yes, any performance would be for a selected audience, but how to grow that audience and what do you do to grow that audience is the basis of inclusiveness.<br /><br />/Music is haram to certain religious people and when it is prohibited by their holy book /<br />Is that true for all forms of art? And this is from a country where Sufi music is an art form by itself? Tsk!<br /><br />/For the other major religious group, hope you should be aware of Kalaikavery of Trichy and other similar organizations. /<br />When such interest exists how come they are missing in mainstream? What has been done to assimilate those with interest?<br /><br />/Most of the churches have their own band which conducts musical festivals to impress people to propagate their religion, and all the players are from their own religion, but let us not talk about inclusiveness there, because it will be against our secular and intellectual credentials )))/<br />That is religious propagation. Not art. And I fail to understand how the intelligent Ram refuses to see the distinction. Am I asking for christian priests in a temple? This is art. And this mentality that this art form is ‘Hindu Art’ is the problem.<br /><br />/If someone has to question, they need to question this institutions that have been set up to teach the art to masses and not the performers or the Sabas and their office bearers./<br />When there is no Governmental support, there has to be private initiatives and that is missing and that is what I have pointed out. I did mention state patronage in Kerala. You have to do outreach programs, take it beyond where it is already appreciated.<br /><br />/Free the temples from the clutches of govt and make temples to support such events /<br />What can be done in temples can be done outside of it. You can ask for freeing of temple from Govt clutches. But that is a different topic.<br /><br />/Could anybody prevent them from doing it?/<br />Anybody could have done anything. When I ask you what have you done, if you are responding what did they do, I have nothing to say. You could as well ask, என்ன கைய புடிச்சி இழுத்தியா?<br /><br />/I don’t think most of the people are not in a positon to appreciate painting, does it mean that painting is managed and manipulated by Brahmins? /<br /><br />I dont appreciate paintings, but that is not controlled by one single group. There are outreach events that happen, appreciation classes are available, they take effort to introduce the art to general public. There is effort to bring it to people who dont appreciate it as they have not been exposed to it. Our own PAK has written a book introducing the art in Tamil and that is a good starting point.<br /><br />/Simple, they have a liking and they were able to get guidance from proper masters, that’s all./<br />Simple, that is what is missing as an initiative and that is what TMK is trying. His methods may be wrong as per you, then you do it the right way and show.<br /><br />/Blaming all the ills and mistakes of the society for Brahmins is a very comfortable way of escapism/<br /><br />😃<br /><br />/Let me sum up sir, even in this issue most of us cannot look eye to eye and can I say that the award is not inclusive?/<br />Why would an award be inclusive. Oh sorry, I forgot you dont know the meaning of the word.இலவசக்கொத்தனார்https://www.blogger.com/profile/03118144128803029623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642268937347545034.post-43551144170194672282016-07-31T19:58:01.434+05:302016-07-31T19:58:01.434+05:30Bravo, my boy.
