Barkha has taken the name of Annamalai for criticising TM Krishna's stance but before that DMK's Kanimozhi & Stalin have issued statements supporting TM Krishna and trying to get political mileage. So why cannot Annamalai speak against him supporting a hate ideology.
Sastriya Sangeetha is very sacred orthodox to Hindus. We can't accept as a Hindu. He is called Periyar by DMK project him as a icon. It's a bullshit. He is a common man like u & me. He is only E.Ve Ramaswamy never project a villen as Hero that's absurd. Anybody insulting any community is obsolutely crime. If we say all Muslims r terrorist how will it be accepted by islamist. Never target Hindus & as well as Brahmin. We r the minority community keeping silent & minding our culture & heritage.
It is absolute nonsensical to request condemnation from Annamalai for all the issues. Let us admit very openly that Carnatic music is for a set of people belonging to certain castes. Therefore, this is not a critical and livelihood issue that must be condemned. E V Ramasami Naciker must also be condemned, since he had prejudice, animosity and hatred towards two caste i.e. Iyer and Iyengar.
I am a Panjabi who graduated to Karnataka music after listening to Hindustani classical music for years. When I heard TM Krishna sing 'Krishna Nee Begane' i could not hold back my tears because I thought he sang from the depth of his heart. Now that I know better about him, I wonder how he could pretend so realistically. He just made a show of it, for effect, while seeing Krishna 'on the broom' in his heart. This man has great skill . I would liken him to a 'bhrashta yogi. He has fallen prey to what is fashionable,...wokeism and all that goes with it.
It was the bhakthi in your pure heart that realised the God in the music. It just happened to be TM Krishna's rendition, that's about it. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder is so true.
U r saying u r Punjabi who learnt Carnatic music, I don't believe that, because u don't even know the basic tenet of Carnatic music , which is Bhakthi, true devotion to our Hindu deities, and u r saying tears rolled down from yr eyes on hearing TM Krishna's music...Goose bumps...Even that lunatic, Christian Missionary supporter is against this , because he doesn't believe in Hinduism and he is for substituting the words of Rama with the word Jesus, as also he is a supporter of EV Ramasamy Naicker who garlanded the portrait of Lord Ram with Chappal Mala. And here, in the social media u r telling cock n bull stories. In Tamilnadu, majority of both Carnatic Musicians and common people r against this Perhaps u can do one thing. Start a movement for reforming of AbrahaMic religions!
That was a good hint Dushyant made at Barkha when he referred to the journalists who were at the forefront of making vicious attacks on the current PM Modi, in 2000s & 2010s and who have changed their stance now. Barkha was one of them & she had a sly smile☺️. There is one other who is still seen on a TV News Channel but he has not changed much.
@@daa577 Where did you hear that ? Are Hindus not human beings, or have you equated Hindus to the devas, only they probably do not have human emotions like jealousy. But that is a moot point, this is not about jealousy, this is about integrity and principle, and that is what people like Dushyanthji and other musicians are voicing their displeasure, if you are even going to the extreme hitlerism that these people have no right to be upset or voice their displeasure, then, I dont know what to tell you, hope you know what happened during Hitler's times..
I am OBC from UP and learning saraswathi veena. I promptly skip TMK's krithis to someone like Ranjani-Gayatri on youtube due to his views. I go to Carnatic music to connect to music, heritage and the deity. If you don't have bhakti towards our Hindu deities, it is not Carnatic music.
If they say M S Subbhalakshmi born a non Brahmin was forced to accept Brahminism to further her carnatic musical career, then it is an admission by them that to be a Brahmin one does not have to be born a Brahmin but can become one. Yet, the popular narrative is casteism is birth based.
Kudos to Ranjani and Gayatri for taking a courageous stand. It is not sufficient for artists like them, and others such as Vishakha Hari, Ravikiran, the Trichur brothers, and Dushyanth Sridhar, to boycott the Academy; like-minded Carnatic music Rasikas should avoid patronizing it. The Academy president, Narasimhan Murali, said, "According to me, they are disappointed that they have not been awarded; that is at the root of all this." These statements only indicate the arrogance of a rich, senile man. Ranjani and Gayatri have been quite vocal about their disagreement with T. M. Krishna's attitudes and behaviors for a long time. Their opinion was not formed recently after the award was announced. In fact, the two sisters have every qualification that makes them more suitable for the Sangita Kalanidhi Award than T. M. Krishna. Krishna most likely got this award (and others) because of The Hindu Group's nexus between T. M. Krishna, N. Ram, and N. Murali. In fact, how is the award decided? Does the Academy have any democratic process for it? What qualification does N. Murali have (besides being rich) to make him eligible to head the Academy?
Why everyone is afraid of BrAhmins, while they neither criticize nor complain about any one nor fight for their rights? Probably because they are bound by dharma based on truth and universal values unlike all those who criticize!
This TM Krishna guy is from a privileged background who happens to be a Brahmin........... He is an exception among the fraternity and thinks like liberal. Same is not the case of Majority of Brahmins in TN. Criticism of TM Krishna is not general criticism of Brahmins and TM Krishna's view is not the general community view of all Brahmins. Kindly understand the difference between the two.
You dont whinin about anything or anyone else, is because you are comfortably laid on the top of the pyramid. It is only the people the bottom who is smelling all your shits thats why there is more noise in the bottom.
His views are right. The celestial singer, Dr. K. J Yesudas of Christian origin had the privilege of training under the Stalwart Chembai Bhagvatar. He never associated himself with Madras Music Academy and brought classical music into masses.
What 'privilege'? It's this privilege and elitism that TMK is fighting. It was the greatness of Chembai that he took KJY under his wings. He had taken adivasis also as his students. Yesudas has told the stories of discrimination he faced in the early years. They accepted him when he grew too big for them to discriminate. Also he is a money spinner for the sabhas.
@@rajeevkottayil did Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar discriminate? If not, what makes you think anyone else would? It is never good to generalize. Name and shame if someone is practising something wrong.
@@rajeevkottayil Brother go and listen to how Illayaraja learned carnatic music in his own words. Would strongly suggest to come out of the cocoon woven and you're in .
@@rajeevkottayil if one shouldn't generalize, then TMK should be rightly called out for doing the same. And I never said anything is a privilege. If you are good enough, you get the opportunity, else you don't.
Yes he is empty vessel 😂. Dushyant actually confirms that Carnatic music is not the music of people and it's music of small set of people which is based on caste
Shri. Dushyanth Sridhar nailed it point by point at every stage of the discussion. The pinnacle was his reference to the media in 2010 and today and the host herself couldn't help laughing !
Will a musician who is a follower of Hitler, praises him and supports his ideology be given a Grammy Award even though he maybe the best musician. Ramasamy Naicker was a hate preacher who has even insulted the Tamil language. He was not just against the unwholesome practices in Hinduism but also hated it wholesale. He was a separatist and Nehru called him a madman who should be locked away in a lunatic asylum. The blessed Carnatic music is not just music but is based on Hindu values & culture. One of the iconic & leading exponents of it was Tyagaraja who was a Rama bhaktha. There were many others like him. To extol a man who supports EVR, who threw slippers on Rama & other Hindu idols & insulted certain communties is to disrespect this genre of music. Carnatic & other classical & devotional music are holistic & include values. It is not just music but expression of devotion or bhakthi to the Divine in the form of deities. Anyone who openly or is proved to be flouting this should not be honoured by a prestigious Academy, even if the person maybe technically skilled. Though I empathise with Chinmoy personally I cannot go along with her stand taken on this matter unless those whom she accuses have been proven guilty. If they are proven guilty, then the Music Academy should denounce them. Her support for this Krishna guy is just quid pro quo & not based on objective assessment of principles. He supported her then & she owes him now.
Dusyanth did not mention the DMK Minister who pulled at Jayalalitha's saree pallu in the TN State Assembly which fell off and Jayalalitha was seen crying in her seat later. These are the exponents of women's rights, equality & honour.
@@FreddieMurphy746 but he mentioned about DMK's hypocrisy in working for women but there not being a single woman CM & heading key Ministries. What I mentioned about Jayalitha is something additional, connected to DMK's hypocrisy about women.
Thank you Barkha for the show. Now I know what this controversy is. Loved Dushyanth’s arguments. He’s so articulate and so clear headed. God Bless Young man.
Barkha I dare you do an programme on dmk cadres by constituency and check caste in that constituency. You will realise dmk or any party gives ticket to cadres only on religion / caste. What values they have to talk about any religion or sect. Dare to ask this.
@@FreddieMurphy746 Though EVR was Telugu by birth born in Tamil Nadu, lived in Karnataka & spoke Kannada but became a political ideologist (not a politician himself) in Tamil Nadu. Ironically, he had insulted the Tamil language calling it "katrumirandi mozhi" meaning a wild, barbarian language and yet has become a hero of some tamils.
@@FreddieMurphy746Noe tell your family to vote for Annamalai. I am a Brahmin Telugu guy, only Annamalai can help bring up ancient Tamil traditions lost due to barbarian of DMK politicians
Periyar uplifted women who were suppressed by forward class people, introduced reservation policy (which was the model for Mandal commission) which uplifted backward classes full domination in Tamilnadu government colleges and every walk of life and eventually created the equal playing fields. Periyar Is the father of Tamilnadu social justice
These people who heap insults on PERIYAR is simply because he opposed caste supperiority ie., some are upper and others lower. He said everybody is equal. He fought for SOCIALJUSTICE and EQUALITY. Moreover PERIYAR insists people should think, analyse which is good and which is wrong. That is the song Thiru. T. M. Krishna sang about PERIYAR "சிந்திக்க சொன்னவர் பெரியார் "👍👍👍👌👌👌
A question arises through this discussion that - why all of a sudden the Sabha has found in T M Krishna to give an award to him; while the same person has been accusing the Sabha of being Brahmin centric ? What is the "Sabha" made up of ? Sri. Dushyanth thanks for being what you are. We are with you. I am an ardent follower of you and Vidushi. Vishakha Hari. Hari OM 🙏🙏🙏🙏
If TMK really wants to take carnatic music to the masses, he should use his influence with the current ruling govt in TN and advocate teaching CM in govt schools.. Will he be able to do that ? The moment he does that he will be brutally attacked by the DMK that he is trying to impose brahminism and sanskrit in TN.. How does singing in mosques and churches help ? Are people ( read non brahmins ) really waiting in queue to learn CM and they are being prevented ? If someone really wants to make a revolution they will do so without much noise and be persistent in their effort. He is just using the DMK time and tested toolkit.. and coming especially ahead of the elections has all the signatures of their agenda
Deplorable Views By TM KRISHNA ON KASAB HANGING: The first concerns capital punishment. The laws of our land are, purportedly, founded on certain moral guiding principles. But I fail to see any moral justification for capital punishment. Not very long ago, when we fought and earned the right to govern ourselves as a nation, we did so by wielding a very powerful weapon - ahimsa or non-violence - one that defeated the enemy not militarily but morally. Isn't it anachronistic then that today we seek to punish criminals in the most violent way possible: by taking their lives? The judge who condemned Kasab to the gallows proclaimed that he was inhuman and undeserving of any mercy. But is it just being merciful to spare someone the death sentence? Isn't it also the morally right thing to do? Agreed that any punishment must be proportional to the gravity of the crime but if we are serious about preserving our identity as a nation founded on the principle of non-violence, shouldn't we at least debate the morality of capital punishment? By TM KRISHNA ON KASAB HANGING Mr TM Krishna hope you are made to serve in BSF for 5 years. Would see whether you speak the same rubbish after that experience.
Learn to answer questions with utmost clarity, pointedness and politeness as Dushyanth ji does here! It's such a pleasure to listen to him. Such an inspiration you are for all Sanatanis, Dushyanth ji.
I'm from Malaysia. I hope none of the Carnatic schools and organisations in Malaysia and Singapore will ever call TM Krishna to perform in our countries.
it is highly politicized as the announcement of the award has come before election time. He has criticized eminent musicians and founders of the system. TMK is a divisive person. Musicians have been bearing all the false filth from TMK for far too long.
Normaly anual awards r annonced only in.july,,few.months before dec.season! This year announced so early before election. Clouded with mystery nd.maafide intentions? Sad that politics getting mixed with musi
It was a pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks Barkha & Dushyanth. Music Academy is run by TTK family. TMK's grandfather was a Congressman. Music Academy sits on TTK road! TMK has not performed in Music Academy since 2015. So why did Music Academy give him an award???
An outstanding analysis by vid Dushyant In Karnataka during the 11th century AD Sri Basavanna discarded Brahminism (though he was a Brahmin by birth) and started his new Shaiva Movement. They are called Shivasharanas. we the Brahmin Community Musicians and dancers have been using their vachanas in Performances. Their compositions in Kannada are highly spiritual . we never discriminate between Shivasharanas and the Haridasas. And.... Pandit Fiaz Khan and few other Hindustani Musicians are treated with immense respect in Par with Brahmin artists. . They also sing Haridasas and Basavannas compositions in most of their concerts. It is evident that where Pure Music rules the world, there has never been casteism or caste based groupism. Music is Universal and so I strongly stand with vid Dushyanth Beta
Barkha. Thanks for this interview. I as Marathi person not familiar with the Karnatic music and that part bof performing arts. I now understand the whole issue clearly.
Carnatic music and bakthi are twins and one cannot be separated from the other. T.M.Krishna looks like widening the area by changing the nomenclature as Dravidian Carnatic Music. In addition to singing in praise of Lord Rama, Krishna and a host of other deities of Hindu religion, musicians will start singing in praise of Allah, Lord Christ, periyar, kalaignar and other leading personalities. T.M. Krishna should start a music college to train musicians in the way in which he expects others to sing. Opening the Sabhas by meeting the demands of T.M. Krishna and othders, Sabhas will have a sound financial health as years pass by.
Good performance by Dushyanth Sridhar in spite of Bharkha trying her level best to make it a BJP Vs DMK match. Her anti-hindu sentiments are very evident though. Typical of Bharkha.
My goodness! Never heard a person with such clarity of thoughts at such a young age! I am now a fan of Dushyant Sridhar… going to following and learn more about him and may be will hear him next when he is around. Coming from East, this discussion was an eye opener for me to Carnatic music!
29:29 Mr Dush - MGR had 3 wives too. V N Janaki was his third wife and MGR was her second husband. He married her when his second wife was still alive. Fortunately for MGR, sec wife died of illness and everyone thinks Janaki is his only wife.
what an outstanding articulation by Dushyant. Even to a seasoned journalist like Bharka trying to pin him done, he handled the questions with such ease, poise and dignity. Bharkha was trying to probe atleast one area where she could trap him to say something different, awkward etc..but her expression gave away the results of her attempt
Any intelligent person can compare T M Krishna with another brahmin Kamala Hasan and their leaning towards the dravidian philosophy. Both have become supporters because of certain other compulsions Obviously. Kamal has fallen for a Rajya Sabha and what is it in T M K's case is a crore rupee question..
He is a man of great talent but no self discipline. It’s like a man having a bag full of gold but no penny to spare. I am reminded of C.Rajagopalachari’s comment to Adi Sankara’s Bhaja Govindam. “Adi Shankaracharya wrote a number of Vedantic works for imparting knowledge of the Self and the Universal Spirit. He also composed a number of hymns to foster Bhakti in the hearts of men. One of these hymns is the famous Bhaja Govindam. The way of devotion, is not different from the way of knowledge or Jnana. When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind, it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes Bhakti. Knowledge, when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti. If it does not get transformed into Bhakti, such knowledge is useless tinsel. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge and devotion are different from each other, is ignorance. If Sri Adi Shankara himself who drank the ocean of Jnana as easily as one sip’s water from the palm of one’s hand, sang in his later years, hymns to develop devotion, it is enough to show that Jnana and Bhakti are one and the same. Sri Shankara has packed into the Bhaja GovindaM song: the substance of all vedanta, and set the oneness of Jnana and Bhakti to melodious music.” If TM Krishna claims or his couturiers claim that he is an epitome of knowledge in music , it’s totally wrong .
The Madras Music Academy may as well offer T M Krishna a garland of chappals as the award......that's all the award is now worth! Shame on them and shame on Krishna for all the abuse he has needlessly and unjustly heaped upon his own kind! He truly has lost his marbles!! If other musicians who are slated to perform have any shame they too would boycott the entire proceedings. To share a stage and thereby endorse the Music Academy's decision would be like spitting into the hands of the ones who are offering you food. Musicians, especially those from the south of India, owe their entire life's earnings to the bhakti-laden compositions of the Trinity and other great composers who have provided the ´food' for their performances.
Very impressed by the clear headed articulation of a Hari Katha performer and classical musician to silence the interviewer who, like many leftists, the considers political philosophy important on issues such as performing arts.
An Artist became an ACTIVIST. He is an Atheist to Hinduism but sings in church & mosques for self popularity. He is underrated humanbeing & third rated artist who sings praising Dravidian leader periyar who is Against to Bramin & Ģod believers . Why should TMK praise him and hurt his own community?
Excellent interview. I’ve become very grateful to Dutt because she underlines the need for ordinary people like me - and often silent on many issues - to awaken to the tsunami of bias against Sanatana Dharma. Thanks ❤
Let T M krishna start his own music consortium and show his capacity. Let them not interfere in the music sangham established by music greats. Also, Periyar is preached to hatred among people and is not relevant to any point of time. Bark earlier spread hatred against Sanatan Dharma. Sanatanis are very patient and given rich contributions to all in the society. Spread knowledge to everyone.
WHY doesn't he sing a devotional song on Periyar or a Broom ON STAGE in the music Academy ⁉️ I am a 'low' caste doctor (AN AGNOSTIC) who is practicing for the past 40 years and love ALL forms of music- CARNATIC, HINDUSTANI, WESTERN and some in languages which I can't even identify .I have downloaded Christian and Islamic songs based on Carnatic music and enjoy hearing them.I thought music was the one art form that transcends ALL barriers till T.M.Krishna popped up and cast aspersions on the beleaguered Brahmin community! There is no denying the fact that caste does cast a long shadow on almost of all walks of life in India thanks to diehard rightists ( who I think are slowly undergoing a change in mindset to evolve with the times) and the WOKE Leftists do their mite to muddy up a sensitive social issue! while the Machiavellian D.M.K. party who has Periyar as their icon and who want to crush Sanatana Dharma like a mosquito whose leader goes on record to say that he doesn't need Hindu votes to come to power but shrewdly arranges an ALL Murugan devotees World Meet ( Lord Murugan being branded cunningly a 'Tamilian' God who was cast out by the SANSKRIT speaking North Indian GODS ( his parents Siva & Parvati)! Long story short - K.J.Yesudas - T.M.Krishna Cheese and Chalk
27:21 - if brahminism was only a representation for caste discrimination then why Brahmins were singled out and attacked. Also instead of Brahmin why not name of any other community was not taken
Dushyant is talking to a journalist who is full of hate for Hindus. She doesn't understand the feelings of people who get humiliated. Anyway, Dushyant you articulated beautifully.
TM Krishna recently had a concert overseas where he sang about humans clearing human waste… Had he sung it in front of politicians and administrators in countries where humans still carry out these tasks, it will probably get the officials to act on it! Why he sang it on stage in a country where this is not happening is beyond one’s comprehension. His actions are confused and wrongheaded.
I strongly disagree with Barkha Dutt's comments/assumption that Brahminism = Casteism. This is a narrative propagated by the Dravidian parties in TN since Brahmins are in the minority, docile and are of no electoral value. In fact, casteism is prevalent and practiced by "others" and hardly by brahmins.
The main point here, that few have pointed out, is that the SK award is being given at this time when normally it is around the Sept timeframe? Why? Obviously elections and it is clear that the DMK has forced its hand on the Music Academy. If the MA is now a politically motivated organization rather than concentrate on music, more musicians should boycott it.
15:05 who stopped tm krishna, why could he not develop non brahmin artists...... he is powerful enough to create a platform for them. A true artist appreciates art and not the caste..... and even the audience does not care about caste of the singer but how happy he is listening to that singer
One point Dushyant has missed while highlighting TMK actions is that if TMK wants to do politics let him be a politician or on a different platform not as a Carnatic singer or in a music sabha.
Ms Barkha A very illuminating interview with Shri Dushyant. Interview dwelled extensively on EVRamasamy Naicker. While EVR unleashed his acrimony towards Brahmins and only Brahmins he kept his silence on other communities. Today the other communitites hold that hegemony (EVR and his ilk talked (talk) about over the lowest of the communities . None of these holders of this hegemony is confronted by even the elected government let alone the society. A case in point is mixing human faeces in a drinking water over head tank and that water tank served the downtrodden. The government remains silent even to this day and the higher castes rejoice in this happening !
I appreciate the well-explained position and rationale behind his decision. Carnatic music is larger than a single individual with an ego. TMK's political positions has holes and I say this as someone who likes his singing.
As a recent time viewer of this channel and also a person from Chennai all I felt is, there should have been one more person/expert from the other side of the table to share their views. Shocked but really happy to see this topic being discussed by such a senior journalist who is not from Chennai.
This withdrawal is not forcefully pushing someone out of the way. It is simply moving out of the way when he is coming! There is big difference. When I say I don’t want anything with Barkha and her coterie why should she get hurt?
Despite numerous provocations Dushyanth Sridhar handled this interview with high class maturity, logic and aplomb. So much so that even Barkha had to admire him at the end
Respected ,dignified who carries certain values in life that person thinks 100 times before sharing the stage to anybody and everybody unless other shameless people that is my understanding..
You forgot the real purpose of music in this and your preconceived thoughts overtake the power of music. For the welfare of the society let us be together and use music for healing the society and mankind.@@pushpalathathyrappa6710
This woman will never get into any debates of shia muslims vs sunni muslims or catholics vs protestants. But she keeps waiting for a chance to jump on Hindus and Hinduism. And she does it again and again so shamelessly.
TM Krishna’s comment on the great MS Subbulakshmi are indeed very unfair and unfounded. Did he really find a hint of sadness in her voice or yearning to be associated with Brahmins ? If that were even remotely true why would the great lady proudly use her maiden antecedents and call herself Madurai Shanmukhavadivu Subbulakshmi. Her mother Shanmukhavadivu was herself a legendary Veena maestro in the Devadasi tradition; her maternal grandmother was also an established violinist. Subbulakshmi didn’t need to yearn to be associated with the Brahmin community; she was born to an Iyer father and she was married to a highly reputed Iyer, which made her quite closely associated with Brahmins. Subbulakshmi was considered a Tamil icon, role model and a style guru of sorts especially in the Tamil Brahmin community. So any yearning was entirely the other way around. And as for sadness in her voice, I’ve never detected it except of course in sad songs. Otherwise hers was a powerful deep resonant timbre. Versatile to suit Bhakti devotional music as also the most fast paced rhythmic ragas. TM Krishna is himself a good singer. Whatever made him utter such irreverential stuff.
With due respects to duShyant srIdhar swAmi - some of the points he makes, like no divides within the society, are not true. There will always be a (atleast) dotted line separation between a practising, orthodox brahmin and the rest of the society. By a prwctising brahmin, i mean one who believes in the vedas, who has had upanayanam at the appropriate age, one whoe performs trikAla sandhyAvandanams, avoids any food from outside, does pancha mahA yagya everyday.. it is not good for such a brahmin (or the society) if he dines in a free-for-all party. Non-practising brahmins - for whomr brahmin tag is actually a burden because tradtion expects them to live a certain way and society sees them as a "privileged upper class brat".. TMK is a classic example.of the second kind. It just makes his life a lot easier and simpler if he shreds the string that holds him to his varNa, and join hands with anyone that peddles any easy philosophy. In sanAtana dharma, there is no formal processs to fall out of the system. Processes exist only to become part of the system. We call it samskArams
"Cute" framing- Annamalai vs TM Krishna- sorry, that is not true; I know the leftist thinking behind the same. It is TM Krishna vs other equally accomplished artists , let it play out , do not rope Annamalai here for ulterior motives. Is there no integrity in journalism?
Many kudos to Dushyanth Sridhar-for his knowledge, wisdom, mastery of Harikatha & Carnatic classical music, roots in & respect for Hinduism/Hindutva/Sanatana Dharma, for clarity of views, rational thinking, and broader perspective of things and courage of conviction.
19:34 barkha ji asking real journalistic question, his murmur in reply sums it all, the controversy! He can't decide who should be getting the award, when he doesn't hi ka the office to decide. It's like asking CJI should appoint the ECI WHEN he can't only modi and his minister can decide who will be the next chief of election commission
Dr. K. J Yesudas sings Carnactic Music with Bhakti. I sense divinity in his majestic voice.
so you oppose TM Krishna?
He never abused any religion or caste. He is worthy of respect by his own talent and conduct.
Celestial music
No sabarimalai season without Yesudas bhajans. TMK is crap.
TMK requires some counselling
Barkha has taken the name of Annamalai for criticising TM Krishna's stance but before that DMK's Kanimozhi & Stalin have issued statements supporting TM Krishna and trying to get political mileage. So why cannot Annamalai speak against him supporting a hate ideology.
Sastriya Sangeetha is very sacred orthodox to Hindus. We can't accept as a Hindu. He is called Periyar by DMK project him as a icon. It's a bullshit. He is a common man like u & me. He is only E.Ve Ramaswamy never project a villen as Hero that's absurd. Anybody insulting any community is obsolutely crime. If we say all Muslims r terrorist how will it be accepted by islamist. Never target Hindus & as well as Brahmin. We r the minority community keeping silent & minding our culture & heritage.

And every right-thinking person must join in this movement!🙏
TM Krishna is a good actor too, in real life. Maybe the Krishna he was referring to in the song is himself🤭. Otherwise, he's a hypocrite.
It was the bhakthi in your pure heart that realised the God in the music. It just happened to be TM Krishna's rendition, that's about it.

@daa577 In what way does jealousy come in here? There is something called principles and decorum. In fact it is hypocrisy on TN Krishna's part.
@@daa577 Where did you hear that ? Are Hindus not human beings, or have you equated Hindus to the devas, only they probably do not have human emotions like jealousy. But that is a moot point, this is not about jealousy, this is about integrity and principle, and that is what people like Dushyanthji and other musicians are voicing their displeasure, if you are even going to the extreme hitlerism that these people have no right to be upset or voice their displeasure, then, I dont know what to tell you, hope you know what happened during Hitler's times..

F your lindu gods. Enjoy music 🎵🎶
Fantastic because you can sense the treachery in music and not the devotion. Only a true practitioner of music will understand this subtlety. 👍

If they say M S Subbhalakshmi born a non Brahmin was forced to accept Brahminism to further her carnatic musical career, then it is an admission by them that to be a Brahmin one does not have to be born a Brahmin but can become one. Yet, the popular narrative is casteism is birth based.
Good one!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Talking about women's respect, DMK humiliated physically & removed JJayalalitha's saree in public! That's some great way to respect women.

Kudos to Ranjani and Gayatri for taking a courageous stand. It is not sufficient for artists like them, and others such as Vishakha Hari, Ravikiran, the Trichur brothers, and Dushyanth Sridhar, to boycott the Academy; like-minded Carnatic music Rasikas should avoid patronizing it. The Academy president, Narasimhan Murali, said, "According to me, they are disappointed that they have not been awarded; that is at the root of all this." These statements only indicate the arrogance of a rich, senile man. Ranjani and Gayatri have been quite vocal about their disagreement with T. M. Krishna's attitudes and behaviors for a long time. Their opinion was not formed recently after the award was announced. In fact, the two sisters have every qualification that makes them more suitable for the Sangita Kalanidhi Award than T. M. Krishna. Krishna most likely got this award (and others) because of The Hindu Group's nexus between T. M. Krishna, N. Ram, and N. Murali. In fact, how is the award decided? Does the Academy have any democratic process for it? What qualification does N. Murali have (besides being rich) to make him eligible to head the Academy?
Why everyone is afraid of BrAhmins, while they neither criticize nor complain about any one nor fight for their rights? Probably because they are bound by dharma based on truth and universal values unlike all those who criticize!
Brahmins are the leaders of hindu society. That's why they hate us.
It's because of inferiority complex.
This TM Krishna guy is from a privileged background who happens to be a Brahmin........... He is an exception among the fraternity and thinks like liberal. Same is not the case of Majority of Brahmins in TN. Criticism of TM Krishna is not general criticism of Brahmins and TM Krishna's view is not the general community view of all Brahmins. Kindly understand the difference between the two.

You dont whinin about anything or anyone else, is because you are comfortably laid on the top of the pyramid. It is only the people the bottom who is smelling all your shits thats why there is more noise in the bottom.
His views are right. The celestial singer, Dr. K. J Yesudas of Christian origin had the privilege of training under the Stalwart Chembai Bhagvatar. He never associated himself with Madras Music Academy and brought classical music into masses.
What 'privilege'? It's this privilege and elitism that TMK is fighting. It was the greatness of Chembai that he took KJY under his wings. He had taken adivasis also as his students. Yesudas has told the stories of discrimination he faced in the early years. They accepted him when he grew too big for them to discriminate. Also he is a money spinner for the sabhas.
@@rajeevkottayil did Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar discriminate? If not, what makes you think anyone else would? It is never good to generalize. Name and shame if someone is practising something wrong.

He won't stand a chance to open his stinking mouth in front of TMK.
You need to listen to TMK to understand his POV and belief system.
Yes he is empty vessel 😂. Dushyant actually confirms that Carnatic music is not the music of people and it's music of small set of people which is based on caste
Shri. Dushyanth Sridhar nailed it point by point at every stage of the discussion.
The pinnacle was his reference to the media in 2010 and today and the host herself couldn't help laughing !
Dushyanth Shridhar you are amazing...brilliant argument and facts! Very unbiased and logical thoughts that make brilliant sense.
Will a musician who is a follower of Hitler, praises him and supports his ideology be given a Grammy Award even though he maybe the best musician. Ramasamy Naicker was a hate preacher who has even insulted the Tamil language. He was not just against the unwholesome practices in Hinduism but also hated it wholesale. He was a separatist and Nehru called him a madman who should be locked away in a lunatic asylum. The blessed Carnatic music is not just music but is based on Hindu values & culture. One of the iconic & leading exponents of it was Tyagaraja who was a Rama bhaktha. There were many others like him. To extol a man who supports EVR, who threw slippers on Rama & other Hindu idols & insulted certain communties is to disrespect this genre of music. Carnatic & other classical & devotional music are holistic & include values. It is not just music but expression of devotion or bhakthi to the Divine in the form of deities. Anyone who openly or is proved to be flouting this should not be honoured by a prestigious Academy, even if the person maybe technically skilled.
Though I empathise with Chinmoy personally I cannot go along with her stand taken on this matter unless those whom she accuses have been proven guilty. If they are proven guilty, then the Music Academy should denounce them. Her support for this Krishna guy is just quid pro quo & not based on objective assessment of principles. He supported her then & she owes him now.

Periyar uplifted women who were suppressed by forward class people, introduced reservation policy (which was the model for Mandal commission) which uplifted backward classes full domination in Tamilnadu government colleges and every walk of life and eventually created the equal playing fields. Periyar Is the father of Tamilnadu social justice
These people who heap insults on PERIYAR is simply because he opposed caste supperiority ie., some are upper and others lower. He said everybody is equal. He fought for SOCIALJUSTICE and EQUALITY. Moreover PERIYAR insists people should think, analyse which is good and which is wrong. That is the song Thiru. T. M. Krishna sang about PERIYAR "சிந்திக்க சொன்னவர் பெரியார் "👍👍👍👌👌👌
A question arises through this discussion that - why all of a sudden the Sabha has found in T M Krishna to give an award to him; while the same person has been accusing the Sabha of being Brahmin centric ? What is the "Sabha" made up of ? Sri. Dushyanth thanks for being what you are. We are with you. I am an ardent follower of you and Vidushi. Vishakha Hari. Hari OM 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Must be some kind of a political pressure on them …
If TMK really wants to take carnatic music to the masses, he should use his influence with the current ruling govt in TN and advocate teaching CM in govt schools.. Will he be able to do that ? The moment he does that he will be brutally attacked by the DMK that he is trying to impose brahminism and sanskrit in TN.. How does singing in mosques and churches help ? Are people ( read non brahmins ) really waiting in queue to learn CM and they are being prevented ? If someone really wants to make a revolution they will do so without much noise and be persistent in their effort. He is just using the DMK time and tested toolkit.. and coming especially ahead of the elections has all the signatures of their agenda
Deplorable Views By TM KRISHNA ON KASAB HANGING:
The first concerns capital punishment. The laws of our land are, purportedly, founded on certain moral guiding principles. But I fail to see any moral justification for capital punishment. Not very long ago, when we fought and earned the right to govern ourselves as a nation, we did so by wielding a very powerful weapon - ahimsa or non-violence - one that defeated the enemy not militarily but morally. Isn't it anachronistic then that today we seek to punish criminals in the most violent way possible: by taking their lives? The judge who condemned Kasab to the gallows proclaimed that he was inhuman and undeserving of any mercy. But is it just being merciful to spare someone the death sentence? Isn't it also the morally right thing to do? Agreed that any punishment must be proportional to the gravity of the crime but if we are serious about preserving our identity as a nation founded on the principle of non-violence, shouldn't we at least debate the morality of capital punishment?
By TM KRISHNA ON KASAB HANGING
Mr TM Krishna hope you are made to serve in BSF for 5 years. Would see whether you speak the same rubbish after that experience.
Learn to answer questions with utmost clarity, pointedness and politeness as Dushyanth ji does here! It's such a pleasure to listen to him. Such an inspiration you are for all Sanatanis, Dushyanth ji.
I'm from Malaysia. I hope none of the Carnatic schools and organisations in Malaysia and Singapore will ever call TM Krishna to perform in our countries.
Yes we should oppose him
Great respect to Shri Dhanush! What an articulate way!
TM KRISHNA IS RUBLE ROUSER POLITICIAN , HE IS NOT CARNATIC SINGER HE HARANGUES. ON POLITICAL PLATFORMs.
it is highly politicized as the announcement of the award has come before election time. He has criticized eminent musicians and founders of the system. TMK is a divisive person. Musicians have been bearing all the false filth from TMK for far too long.
Normaly anual awards r annonced only in.july,,few.months before dec.season!
This year announced so early before election.
Clouded with mystery nd.maafide intentions?

What an articulation. Maa Saraswati is with him
An outstanding analysis by vid Dushyant
In Karnataka during the 11th century AD Sri Basavanna discarded Brahminism (though he was a Brahmin by birth) and started his new Shaiva Movement. They are called Shivasharanas. we the Brahmin Community Musicians and dancers have been using their vachanas in Performances. Their compositions in Kannada are highly spiritual . we never discriminate between Shivasharanas and the Haridasas.
And.... Pandit Fiaz Khan and few other Hindustani Musicians are treated with immense respect in Par with Brahmin artists. . They also sing Haridasas and Basavannas compositions in most of their concerts.
It is evident that where Pure Music rules the world, there has never been casteism or caste based groupism. Music is Universal and so I strongly stand with vid Dushyanth Beta
Lately, Barkha seems to play quite *safe* in many of her channel interviews. When is your interview with T M Krishna ? Yes, 4 years ago, you had one.
We have requested him for time. He has not consented to speak at this time. We always strive for 360 degree coverage. Thank you .
Oh, now you want to listen to a Hindu hater's point of view? Would you be so woke as to listen to an Islamophobe?
Barkha. Thanks for this interview. I as Marathi person not familiar with the Karnatic music and that part bof performing arts. I now understand the whole issue clearly.
Thanks to Dushyanth ji for articulating so well.
Carnatic music and bakthi are twins and one cannot be separated from the other. T.M.Krishna looks like widening the area by changing the nomenclature as Dravidian Carnatic Music. In addition to singing in praise of Lord Rama, Krishna and a host of other deities of Hindu religion, musicians will start singing in praise of Allah, Lord Christ, periyar, kalaignar and other leading personalities. T.M. Krishna should start a music college to train musicians in the way in which he expects others to sing. Opening the Sabhas by meeting the demands of T.M. Krishna and othders, Sabhas will have a sound financial health as years pass by.
Good performance by Dushyanth Sridhar in spite of Bharkha trying her level best to make it a BJP Vs DMK match. Her anti-hindu sentiments are very evident though. Typical of Bharkha.
My goodness! Never heard a person with such clarity of thoughts at such a young age! I am now a fan of Dushyant Sridhar… going to following and learn more about him and may be will hear him next when he is around. Coming from East, this discussion was an eye opener for me to Carnatic music!
Salute to Dushyant ji and Ranjini Gayatri for standing up and being heard
29:29 Mr Dush - MGR had 3 wives too. V N Janaki was his third wife and MGR was her second husband. He married her when his second wife was still alive. Fortunately for MGR, sec wife died of illness and everyone thinks Janaki is his only wife.
Barkha Dutta is known to be anti Hindu Speaking to her and trying to help her understand is really a waste of time
what an outstanding articulation by Dushyant. Even to a seasoned journalist like Bharka trying to pin him done, he handled the questions with such ease, poise and dignity. Bharkha was trying to probe atleast one area where she could trap him to say something different, awkward etc..but her expression gave away the results of her attempt
Any intelligent person can compare T M Krishna with another brahmin Kamala Hasan and their leaning towards the dravidian philosophy. Both have become supporters because of certain other compulsions Obviously. Kamal has fallen for a Rajya Sabha and what is it in T M K's case is a crore rupee question..
He is a man of great talent but no self discipline. It’s like a man having a bag full of gold but no penny to spare.
I am reminded of C.Rajagopalachari’s comment to Adi Sankara’s Bhaja Govindam.
“Adi Shankaracharya wrote a number of Vedantic works for imparting knowledge of
the Self and the Universal Spirit. He also composed a number of hymns to foster
Bhakti in the hearts of men. One of these hymns is the famous Bhaja Govindam.
The way of devotion, is not different from the way of knowledge or Jnana. When
intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind, it becomes wisdom. When
wisdom is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes Bhakti.
Knowledge, when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti. If it does not get transformed
into Bhakti, such knowledge is useless tinsel. To believe that Jnana and
Bhakti, knowledge and devotion are different from each other, is ignorance. If
Sri Adi Shankara himself who drank the ocean of Jnana as easily as one sip’s
water from the palm of one’s hand, sang in his later years, hymns to develop
devotion, it is enough to show that Jnana and Bhakti are one and the same. Sri
Shankara has packed into the Bhaja GovindaM song: the substance of all vedanta,
and set the oneness of Jnana and Bhakti to melodious music.”
If TM Krishna claims or his couturiers claim that he is an epitome of knowledge in music , it’s totally wrong .
Kindly search video, where TMK went to SHAHEEN BHAG, sang and supported people who r against CAA. 😂

The Madras Music Academy may as well offer T M Krishna a garland of chappals as the award......that's all the award is now worth! Shame on them and shame on Krishna for all the abuse he has needlessly and unjustly heaped upon his own kind! He truly has lost his marbles!! If other musicians who are slated to perform have any shame they too would boycott the entire proceedings. To share a stage and thereby endorse the Music Academy's decision would be like spitting into the hands of the ones who are offering you food. Musicians, especially those from the south of India, owe their entire life's earnings to the bhakti-laden compositions of the Trinity and other great composers who have provided the ´food' for their performances.
Very impressed by the clear headed articulation of a Hari Katha performer and classical musician to silence the interviewer who, like many leftists, the considers political philosophy important on issues such as performing arts.
An Artist became an ACTIVIST. He is an Atheist to Hinduism but sings in church & mosques for self popularity. He is underrated humanbeing & third rated artist who sings praising Dravidian leader periyar who is Against to Bramin & Ģod believers . Why should TMK praise him and hurt his own community?
Excellent interview. I’ve become very grateful to Dutt because she underlines the need for ordinary people like me - and often silent on many issues - to awaken to the tsunami of bias against Sanatana Dharma. Thanks ❤
Let T M krishna start his own music consortium and show his capacity. Let them not interfere in the music sangham established by music greats. Also, Periyar is preached to hatred among people and is not relevant to any point of time. Bark earlier spread hatred against Sanatan Dharma. Sanatanis are very patient and given rich contributions to all in the society. Spread knowledge to everyone.
WHY doesn't he sing a devotional song on Periyar or a Broom ON STAGE in the music Academy ⁉️
I am a 'low' caste doctor
(AN AGNOSTIC)
who is practicing for the past 40 years and love ALL forms of music- CARNATIC, HINDUSTANI, WESTERN and some in languages which I can't even identify .I have downloaded Christian and Islamic songs based on Carnatic music and enjoy hearing them.I thought music was the one art form that transcends ALL barriers till T.M.Krishna popped up and cast aspersions on the beleaguered Brahmin community!
There is no denying the fact that caste does cast a long shadow on almost of all walks of life in India thanks to diehard rightists ( who I think are slowly undergoing a change in mindset to evolve with the times) and the WOKE Leftists do their mite to muddy up a sensitive social issue!
while the Machiavellian D.M.K. party who has Periyar as their icon and who want to crush Sanatana Dharma like a mosquito whose leader goes on record to say that he doesn't need Hindu votes to come to power but shrewdly arranges an ALL Murugan devotees World Meet ( Lord Murugan being branded cunningly a 'Tamilian' God who was cast out by the SANSKRIT speaking North Indian GODS ( his parents Siva & Parvati)!
Long story short -

Super Interview Dhushanth Sridhar DRAVIDIANISM will not be tolerated in SANATAN DHARMA
They say exactly that! Just flip the names!
TM Krishna recently had a concert overseas where he sang about humans clearing human waste… Had he sung it in front of politicians and administrators in countries where humans still carry out these tasks, it will probably get the officials to act on it! Why he sang it on stage in a country where this is not happening is beyond one’s comprehension. His actions are confused and wrongheaded.
you are my Super Hero sir . Just love your passion & conviction. More power to you .
I strongly disagree with Barkha Dutt's comments/assumption that Brahminism = Casteism. This is a narrative propagated by the Dravidian parties in TN since Brahmins are in the minority, docile and are of no electoral value. In fact, casteism is prevalent and practiced by "others" and hardly by brahmins.
highly impressed by Dhushanth Sridhar
The main point here, that few have pointed out, is that the SK award is being given at this time when normally it is around the Sept timeframe? Why? Obviously elections and it is clear that the DMK has forced its hand on the Music Academy. If the MA is now a politically motivated organization rather than concentrate on music, more musicians should boycott it.
Excellent explanations with very methodical approach. Thank you for your clarifications.
15:05 who stopped tm krishna, why could he not develop non brahmin artists...... he is powerful enough to create a platform for them. A true artist appreciates art and not the caste..... and even the audience does not care about caste of the singer but how happy he is listening to that singer
Excellent conversation.
As usual Dhusyand argued very well.
Nice vidio.
One point Dushyant has missed while highlighting TMK actions is that if TMK wants to do politics let him be a politician or on a different platform not as a Carnatic singer or in a music sabha.
Does anyone recall the Awards Wapasi in 2014 ? The right of the spectrum is entitled to express their views just as the left!
thanks to the OVER TOLERANCE, OVER PATIENCE, of proud sanatana practising Hindus, even suvars take them for granted.
I think Burkha learnt a lot from this interview..
Ms Barkha
A very illuminating interview with Shri Dushyant.
Interview dwelled extensively on EVRamasamy Naicker. While EVR unleashed his acrimony towards Brahmins and only Brahmins he kept his silence on other communities.
Today the other communitites hold that hegemony (EVR and his ilk talked (talk) about over the lowest of the communities . None of these holders of this hegemony is confronted by even the elected government let alone the society. A case in point is mixing human faeces in a drinking water over head tank and that water tank served the downtrodden. The government remains silent even to this day and the higher castes rejoice in this happening !
Need to check funding of Music Academy.
I appreciate the well-explained position and rationale behind his decision. Carnatic music is larger than a single individual with an ego. TMK's political positions has holes and I say this as someone who likes his singing.
One of the best conversations very candid direct questions with lots of facts from Dushantji on this topic.
As a recent time viewer of this channel and also a person from Chennai all I felt is, there should have been one more person/expert from the other side of the table to share their views. Shocked but really happy to see this topic being discussed by such a senior journalist who is not from Chennai.
This withdrawal is not forcefully pushing someone out of the way. It is simply moving out of the way when he is coming! There is big difference. When I say I don’t want anything with Barkha and her coterie why should she get hurt?
Despite numerous provocations Dushyanth Sridhar handled this interview with high class maturity, logic and aplomb. So much so that even Barkha had to admire him at the end
What is music meant for? To heal people. Not to avoid people who have a different thought process or ideology.
Respected ,dignified who carries certain values in life that person thinks 100 times before sharing the stage to anybody and everybody unless other shameless people that is my understanding..
You forgot the real purpose of music in this and your preconceived thoughts overtake the power of music. For the welfare of the society let us be together and use music for healing the society and mankind.@@pushpalathathyrappa6710
Smart scholar, Smart answers !
This woman will never get into any debates of shia muslims vs sunni muslims or catholics vs protestants. But she keeps waiting for a chance to jump on Hindus and Hinduism. And she does it again and again so shamelessly.
DMK means 100 % HYPOCRISY 😅
TM Krishna’s comment on the great MS Subbulakshmi are indeed very unfair and unfounded. Did he really find a hint of sadness in her voice or yearning to be associated with Brahmins ? If that were even remotely true why would the great lady proudly use her maiden antecedents and call herself Madurai Shanmukhavadivu Subbulakshmi. Her mother Shanmukhavadivu was herself a legendary Veena maestro in the Devadasi tradition; her maternal grandmother was also an established violinist.
Subbulakshmi didn’t need to yearn to be associated with the Brahmin community; she was born to an Iyer father and she was married to a highly reputed Iyer, which made her quite closely associated with Brahmins. Subbulakshmi was considered a Tamil icon, role model and a style guru of sorts especially in the Tamil Brahmin community. So any yearning was entirely the other way around. And as for sadness in her voice, I’ve never detected it except of course in sad songs. Otherwise hers was a powerful deep resonant timbre. Versatile to suit Bhakti devotional music as also the most fast paced rhythmic ragas.
TM Krishna is himself a good singer. Whatever made him utter such irreverential stuff.
With due respects to duShyant srIdhar swAmi - some of the points he makes, like no divides within the society, are not true. There will always be a (atleast) dotted line separation between a practising, orthodox brahmin and the rest of the society. By a prwctising brahmin, i mean one who believes in the vedas, who has had upanayanam at the appropriate age, one whoe performs trikAla sandhyAvandanams, avoids any food from outside, does pancha mahA yagya everyday.. it is not good for such a brahmin (or the society) if he dines in a free-for-all party. Non-practising brahmins - for whomr brahmin tag is actually a burden because tradtion expects them to live a certain way and society sees them as a "privileged upper class brat".. TMK is a classic example.of the second kind. It just makes his life a lot easier and simpler if he shreds the string that holds him to his varNa, and join hands with anyone that peddles any easy philosophy. In sanAtana dharma, there is no formal processs to fall out of the system. Processes exist only to become part of the system. We call it samskArams
👌👏
"Cute" framing- Annamalai vs TM Krishna- sorry, that is not true; I know the leftist thinking behind the same. It is TM Krishna vs other equally accomplished artists , let it play out , do not rope Annamalai here for ulterior motives. Is there no integrity in journalism?
Many kudos to Dushyanth Sridhar-for his knowledge, wisdom, mastery of Harikatha & Carnatic classical music, roots in & respect for Hinduism/Hindutva/Sanatana Dharma, for clarity of views, rational thinking, and broader perspective of things and courage of conviction.
19:34 barkha ji asking real journalistic question, his murmur in reply sums it all, the controversy! He can't decide who should be getting the award, when he doesn't hi ka the office to decide. It's like asking CJI should appoint the ECI WHEN he can't only modi and his minister can decide who will be the next chief of election commission
