I love him for his music, for his courageous soul and unending spirit to stand against the powerful, in unmasking certain power centers and traditionalists. More power to him.
Very balanced and to the point reporting. TMK, like all visionaries, will sail into the wind for a while. Change is good and oftentimes leads to creativity and growth. Those who claim that Carnatic music is sacred and therefore should stay the way it is are doing a disservice.
This had to happen. Old school must pave way for newer thoughts. Carnatic music notes have been used for composing songs in South Indian movies depicting Jesus, Allah, prayers in the Church and Masjids since the history of films. What Krishna is trying to convey is lets make this form of music more acceptable and spread the richness of the same. Notes remaining the same, its only the lyrics which change according to the users. Finally, God is one - form and formats may differ. More power to Krishna and his ilk..we need change..thats the only constant.
I don't understand carnatic music but enjoy its melody and people like TN Krishna makes it more accessible to other cultures. I believe he is stepping up another step to make carnatic music more glorious for common man and for country and clutches out music form from dominant castes .🎉
It takes a lot of courage and conviction to take on the entrenched powers of his own caste and class from within. You become lonely, isolated and at times feel helpless in his circumstances. He fully deserves the support of all the progressive people of the country.
So me saying anything bad about dalit is castism but dalit speaking bad about brahmin is anti caste and when the complete art form is made and recorded by brahmims than why shouldnt they be more in population of team
Many people think he is a revolutionary which is BS. He is a publicity seeker. Let me give you a list of non hindu carnatic musicians let alone non brahmin. 1. Angamali Jose dilruba player from Kerala. 2. Our famous Jesudoss. 3. John Higgins, Higgins Bagavatar. An american 4., Sheikh Chinnamoulana Sahib from Andhra a muslim there are now a husband wife muslim duo from Tamilnadu who are performing nadaswaram artists. There are many famous non brahmin singers like Dandapsni Desikar, seerkazhi Govindarajan, Madurai somu, Brinda and Mukta and many others. Many may not know that Chembai Vaidyanada Bagavatar had two disciples the famous Jaya and Vijaya brothers who are from a lowcaste malayaali community.
He got into a controversy because of his irreverence, for speaking ill of Sangita Kalanidhi M.S.Subhalakshmi. RaGa sisters had the spine to take on Music Academy, that chose to favour its own blood.
We know how the saints in Maharashtra came up. They’re from all castes but spoke spiritualism/religion. This’s the liberal society that existed long long ago.
Of we must support this brave soul that attempting to swim against centuries of oppression and marginalization. It's also the height of arrogant for those idiotic ladies to compare carnatic music to the theory of relativity. Appreciation of classical music can have different hues and one of this is just pure love.
In old days music was preserved by Devdasis & Bhavanis & Naikinis & in kothas in northern India. There was no single Brahmin lady or male singer. Lata Mangeshkar, M. S. Subbulaxmi, Mogubai Kurdikar, 56 Chhurri are examples.
TMK is one and only reformist from music.He is extra ordinary in his views and are influenced by many underprivileged in society. My whole hearted support to TMK❤
its the same playbook : Anti brahmin ,upper caste ,gatekeeping . Liberal vs right wing . Madam Let classical arts be classical .encourage people to make new arts or something of their own .No gatekeeping no barrier as one creates it from scratch . This dude is a grifter and publicity seeker .
Remember the choice of your word as conservative is wrong.there are no conservative classical singers. Krishna is a handle of DMK.they hate brahmins and so does he.they are atheists and so is he.he sings on thyagaraja and periyaar who wore a chappal maala on Lord Rama.does he approve chappal maala on Lord Rama.if he has guts let him come out openly and tell this.DMk hates sanatana and so does he. Madras music academy is agent of anti brahmin and Hate brahmin theory.And tmk was obvious non deserving choice.a hypocrite and pseudo reformer where there is nothing to reform.
He deseeved this treatment years ago. Glad that he can not get easy from now onwards by brahmin bashing! My thanks to the honourable high court for the judgement!
He can fight his caste battles he should fight this battle.. But praising Allah with Carnatic Music which are meant for praising hindu gods ,standing against CAA Against the very dalits he fighting for suffering in Bangladesh Inclusiveity with ISLAM 🤣 He is nothing but a POLITICIAN descised as Singer .😊
Violin, a church music instrument, should be removed from carnatic music altogether! Why should it sing the praises of Rama & Krishna and confuse the desis? What was muthuswamy dikshidar thinking when he adapted it for carnatic? Did he not know how music will eventually devolve to caste and political tunes soon? 😂
Disguised. The language you are speaking isn't made for you then, since there are christian hyms written in it. Is sanskrit made for dalits? The language they were and are killed for speaking? Regressive idiots. Language is supposed to be used for communication.
I love him for his music, for his courageous soul and unending spirit to stand against the powerful, in unmasking certain power centers and traditionalists.
More power to him.
TM Krishna himself comes from a very privileged family.
@1008apocalypse1008 If so, it makes him all the more great.
@@yce-voice He made it so far because of his background. He is a grandson of Congress politician and industrialist ttk (prestige).
Though I dont understand karnatak music I admire his efforts of democratization inclusivity and liberal attitude.

If music is for the liberation of the mind and peace, why connect it to religion and conservative ideas? More power to TM Krishna.
Why connect Sufi music to Sufi Islam? 😅

It’s very very difficult and even impossible to reform human society all over the world, but we have to for ever continue to oppose!
As always Pooja it's knowledgeable and insightful these episodes gives a peek into understanding caste/identity politics in the Southern part
It takes a lot of courage and conviction to take on the entrenched powers of his own caste and class from within. You become lonely, isolated and at times feel helpless in his circumstances. He fully deserves the support of all the progressive people of the country.
T M Krishna is great for his views and propagation of inclusive agenda in music
So me saying anything bad about dalit is castism but dalit speaking bad about brahmin is anti caste and when the complete art form is made and recorded by brahmims than why shouldnt they be more in population of team
Should make a movie featuring Carnatic music and see how well it does.

How the hell did they fast track this case...and how did they pass an interim order with "constitution" as a basis for this case.

Kindly don't compare saints with anyone! They dont degrade anyone to make self better!
Never knew about him but will follow him now.

Absolutely disagree.
And yet, how many "non-upper-caste" students does Krishna have or perform?!!
I don’t agree that Bhakti not a read element of Carnatic music
Got to know first time that degrading someone, who is next to God for thousands is a way for find out challenge in art!

What is ‘classical’? Did the form not evolve over time? What does not grow is bound to stagnate
Tremendous tranceformas a progressive❤
TMK is one and only reformist from music.He is extra ordinary in his views and are influenced by many underprivileged in society. My whole hearted support to TMK❤
Caste an undying reality

Brahmins stick to their community laws.

I feel he is fake
He is unfit for any award leave alone music academy. Music is divine people are trying to make business out of it. Very Sad
Film music director getting money is not business nor singer's charging fees is not business. It's funny
He deseeved this treatment years ago. Glad that he can not get easy from now onwards by brahmin bashing! My thanks to the honourable high court for the judgement!
What say upper caste? What has it got to do with anyone's caste?! Ill-researched video.
He can fight his caste battles he should fight this battle..
But praising Allah with Carnatic Music which are meant for praising hindu gods ,standing against CAA
Against the very dalits he fighting for suffering in Bangladesh
Inclusiveity with ISLAM 🤣
He is nothing but a POLITICIAN descised as Singer .😊
