- What Is The Controversy Over TM Krishna's Sangita Kalanidhi Award Controversy | N18V | News18
The latest burst of indignation came when the Madras Music Academy decided to confer Krishna with their prestigious Sangita Kalanidhi award for 2024. A few Carnatic musicians decided to pull out of the academy's annual December conference in protest.

All terrorist attacks over the world is by a particular community, will the DMK go about saying this community is dengue, malaria etc., and should be eradicated?
And who is this community? Really, genocide is killing 40,000 children. Muslims in Palestine is being killed by Christians. Please count on your finger tips the number of Brahmins killed by Periyaar. Upper caste Brahmin privilege..
👌👌👏👏
Bjp and RSS is already doing that.
The right wing ecosystem in our country, in recent times , has crossed all limits by their venomous speech and actions.
Remember haridwar dharm sabha or
Maha panchayat in haryana
Where members of right wing organisations openly called for killing and arson.
What do you think media is doing now a days?
Same.
Vilification of one particular community.
And it is being rapped by SC , penalised by NBDSA and other self regulating organisations of print media and broadcasting media.
What is happening in Tamil nadu is totally wrong
I totally take this as an offence.
Because these political parties whether DMK ,or BJP are making damage to our social fabric and multicultural society for petty gains.
The world war was started by Christians, but you never said all Christians were like that. In Mahabharatam, Krishna killed many people in war, but no one is saying people who follow Krishna are killers. If a few bad people from Muslim countries did that, then you would say the whole religion is bad. Consider the Palestine War, which has resulted in the deaths of approximately 30,000 Muslims, 10,000 of whom are children. Despite the fact that you do not criticise the attackers' religion, the truth remains the same.
Reasons why people are afraid of Islam
1. Islam prohibits gambling and betting.
2. Islam prohibits alcohol and drugs.
3. Islam prohibits sex and porn.
4. Islam prohibits caste (the main reason why so-called higher-caste people like Brahmins hate Islam).
And these are the world's leading industries, right? This is why they spread hate against Islam.
@@mohamedimthiyas151those christians did not start a war for their god or religion.
Those who follow krishna read bhagavad gita. And no where in gita will you see "fight the infidels".
What is happening in israel-palestin conflict has been going on for long time in middle east which has alot to do with issues within abrahamic religions.
Now the reason why there is so much hatred towards your religions is because followers like you who keep using deceptive methods to spread your religion!
They have expressed what exactly every single Tamil Brahmin has experienced all these decades living in Tamilnadu.
🤣🤣
If they are hated for particular reason and abused for longer, how they are in top positions in all the areas even though they are n 3% populations?. how is that possible?. How they are rich?. how they are having more lobby to influence the union and state govts?. Have a deep thinking. I hope you are not sanghi too..
Who said all the Brahmins are rich majority of poor people are from Brahmin community. Weird thinking by you.
@@FreddieMurphy746 Take the list of Cabinet ministers in union govt, take constitutional bodies secretories. check who are all in top positions. These are decision making positions of some. They can let the others to do the rituals and ceremonies in home and temples, that can be commercialized for everyone to make money. And Meaning of Sanghi - Giving muttu to who are all preventing progressive thoughts and wants to follow all the old foolish systems (Varana systems) by blind.
@@FreddieMurphy746 I am asking about 3%. why you are diverting to another topic as like Sanghis do in TV debates which is not the discussion point.
I am a 'low' caste Hindu(whatever that means in the present day society) a Doctor practicing for the past 40 years ( and an AGNOSTIC TO BOOT) who nevertheless loves listening to ALL types of music - Classical Carnatic, Hindustani, Western, Hindu, Christian, Islamic devotional songs and some songs without knowing which language they are in!
I don't know even the basic grammar of any music but that has not hindered me from being fa good Rasika! I have never thought of any musician in terms of his religion, caste etc.
Having said that we cannot deny the fact that Bhakti (Faith) systems have nurtured ALL MUSIC FORMS
throughout the world.
If Mr. T.M.Krishna is so woke leftist ( WHICH I AM IN SOCIAL ISSUES - not when it concerns CLASSICAL MUSIC) and considers singing paeons on Rama and in the same breath says he will feel the same when he sings about a BROOM OR PERIYAR then why doesn't he devote a whole concert in praise of a Broom, Palm tree and Periyar fittingly arranged by the MUSIC ACADEMY⁉️
Suffice to say-
A K.J.YESUDAS is
❤ K.J.Yesudas🙏
and
A T.M.Krishna is - well-
T.M.Krishna!
I love listening to Ranjani Gayatri sisters' concerts (unfortunately only online).My profession and place of residence makes it almost impossible for me to attend their concerts in person.
My respect to them for the rational and dignified way they have expressed their view on this vexatious issue.🙏🎉🎉🙏
You still believe you're a "low caste" Hindu? And you're a doctor. What's the purpose of education sir? May I know?
❤❤❤ sir.. in Sanathan Dharma, Jaati n Varna are different! Jaati is never by birth but by actions n behaviour! You are a Dr dedicated to service- All Vaidyas were by definition brahmins
TM krishna is behind fame and award, event hough he is a talented singer.
Very well spoken by the sisters. They are the biggest crowd pullers in the entire festival. That's why MA is disturbed by their withdrawal. TMK's concerts aren't even full house these days.

A person abusing SriRama glorifying a person insulting SriRama, devotees of hindu gods, must be kept away boycotted from all great devout musicians & traditional music lovers.
Raga sisters are one of the very few sensible and knowledge people.
They respect customs and sentiments of sanathana dharma.
Full support to raga sisters
You can also term them castist, carnatic music is not a property of a particular caste, how does TM Krishna who is trying to proove this against the carnatic fraternity.
Raga sisters are telling their true opinion. They have every right to voice their wish. Neither the ruling party nor the MA has sole authority to decide the awardee. It is better to reconsider as it is totally politically motivated.

Payback is a b¡@ tch, is it not?
So can't atheists/people from other religions enjoy carnatic music?
@@Butwhy23 i know its a rhetorical question. But they cant - they have to take names of hindu gods and that constitutes blasphemy as far as both groups are concerned
Superb. Well said mam.
A bold thing by Ranjani and Gayathri. Music Academy deserves to be censured for their response to them. T M Krishna, if he believes that Music Academy is representative of the Brahmin dominance and influence in Carnatic music, should decline the Sangeetha Kalanidhi award.
I stopped listening to T M Krishna when he wrote a disrespectful article long back on MS Subbalakshmi. I can't recall if it was in Hindu or TOI but that day i lost all respect for him even if he is a good singer.
I have read that article …I request u to again with no bias n with open mind ..
That article is actually true. It is a fact that MS Amma was born into a devadasi amma and a Tamil Brahmin father who never acknowledged her as his daughter. This is the complete truth. Also it's because Sadashivam married her and gave her a respected belonging to a Tamil Brahmin family, that she completely immersed herself in dedication to her husband and her music. Imagine if she hadn't met Sadashivam. He even forbade MS Amma to meet her family after her marriage. This is the truth. She also knew the Brahmin stronghold over Carnatic music.
Times are changing. Music belongs to everyone. It's divine and cannot belong to any religion, caste and creed. TMK is a highly talented and gifted musician who wants to reach out music to everyone. Nothing wrong with that.
Carnatic music is bigger than all of you put together. Remember that. Coming from a brahmin myself.
Protest MA by not doing any Concert as it is Politically run by ruling party
Super. Very well said by the sisters with clarity in thought. Conveyed your views politely in as many words that are required. We are with you.
Instead of banning the Madras Music Academy, pressurize the government to make Murali, who is the cause of this problem, resign from his post. We support all your music artists.💪🙌🤝
What is everyone from the DMK saying, that brahmins do not have a right to be outraged, or the right to protest against someone asking for their genocide ? is that the stand of CNN-News18 ? Then you are not a journalist or a reporter, you are just the a-hole of the DMK party. Learn to be neutral and not take sides first before you question someone's right to protest. If Music academy has a right to pick whoever they want, every human being has the right to not participate, to protest, to be outraged by someone who is vilifying them unjustly, but not just that, who is calling for their death.,..
I think the journalist did her job of asking questions and letting Vid Ranjani and Gayathri answer them. I don't see why you are upset with the channel.
@chandrashekharkalyanaraman5224 really, what did she mean by "serious allegations " what the duo was saying were not allegations, there is ample documentation of everything they are saying. So clearly she's not neutral. And wants to spin her own narrative.
@@kannaninsevagan3415 most of these anchors just know how to hold the mic. They have no knowledge of history and rarely do any useful research.
TMK sounds like another Prakaj Raj in carnatic classical music sea.
Legendary personalities must speak out and it is time to come out .good job legendary sisters, Ranjani and Gayatri
President of MAcad is N Murali, who is brother of N Ram, of Hindu News Paper, and we all knew their background and the news paper hits rock bottom over the past 3 / 4 decades..
Good Stand Taken by Ranjani and Gayathri👍🤝👏👏👏👏👏. Music Academy should be ashamed of choosing to honour a person who has chosen to Hero Worship a disgraceful person (EVR)
TM Krishna has actually boycotted the concerts at Madras Music Academy for nearly 10 years and now jumps in as he is getting the award 😮.
TMK can continue singing glories of whosoever it wants but please respect the Aasthikas as well. (can we glorify Ravana who misbehaved with Sitama, can we glorify EVR who called her names, next TMK may glorify Babar who razed temples and others who are anti Santana dharma)
Instead of Sangita kalanidhi award, I propose we give a better fitting 2 awards instead
1. Sangita Karunanidhi
2. Sangita Udayanidhi.
Well said by these two brave artists.
One can not be arrogant.
Let him talk about the fake social justice practiced nowadays suppressing one particular community simply because they are about 3% of population in the state. Insignificant for these politicians. Because he is from a reputed familiy, he had/has everything but not the case with everyone. Struggling to get a hold
Its important that all classes of people learn carnatic music or any form of music. Brahmins have never discriminated any musician just because he's not a Brahmin. Most of the Alwars who have sung the Divya prabhandams are not from the Brahmin community and their pashurams are recited regularly at the temples. I appreciate your stand in this matter, Smt Ranjini and Smt Gayathri.
I appreciate the conviction of Ranjani and Gayatri and their bold decision to stand against an iconic(doubtful) Institution’s controversial decision. If we rasikas respect our culture and have self respect, should boycott the Music Academy. What great about MA. It is just one among so many Sabhas. The bubble should be burst.
Our support is with. RAGA.
Respect their courage
Thank you sisters for taking a principled stand for Sanathana Dharma. Proud of you.
Go Ranjani ji Gayatri ji!!
Kudos and I appreciate these two sisters to step forward by simply exposing music academy...the loss is only to the academy which earned its pride, merit and the glorious Rasikas in all these years
Support to these 2 great women who started this fight against injustice in awarding a perverted person who all the time was degrading and vilifying great persons of carnatic music over the years, and seen standing with urban naxals and at the same time was reaping his livelihood on the same, however he may be in his genius
Simple solution. Boycott Music Academy visits. I will never visit Music Academy ever from now.
Stop patronage, they will realise they are making mistakes.
🤣🤣
They wont. Money is ultimate. If you are in their position will you boycott for longer. Last one minute of their interview shows about their interest on Money and Fame. Now just they did for political attention. Who knows if they get more money in tomorrow TM Krishna show they may participate.
I have been your rasika for long But now I respect 🙏 your views Super 👌 I as an individual have been boycotting TM krishnan for boycotti
Music academy functions 😊
I
No sane person should step into music academy even if they regret
@@balakrishnan66 🤣
Right stand by Ranjini Gayathri madam. Jaihind
There is a plan to destroy the annual event and hence they have decided to award TMK. This protest is good but someone genuine should replace Mr.Murali.
Agree
Supporting EVRamasamy is disdainful.
Well done Raga sisters!!!
More power to you! You are our warriors!
We will follow your music wherever you go!!!
Jai Shree Ram
Full support to Ranjini ji and Gayathri ji
Bold words by these sisters. Kudos to you mam.
Since times immemorial, Brahmins are condemned especially in South India.
Especially in TN
All over India today and west also.
time immemorial?😅
All are not same.
What few brahmins started i.e. casteism and untouchability brought shame but that will not be emulated anymore.
All have right to live with dignity and respect.
All have right to live a life full of aspirations and fulfill their desires without violating other's rights.
All have right to ensure all round development of themselves.
No brahmins , no shudra , only human beings.
We condemn giving award to krishna.
TMK should not be just shunned by musicians. He shouid be banned to sing in India as well as outside in foreign countries in any sabha or organizations. He shouid be prevented from practicing music or teaching music.
He is being funded by foreign entities to destabilize India and Hinduism, so asking for banning his performance in foreign countries, particularly in US, where George Soros' only life goal is to destroy other religions, at the moment the main target being Hindus/Hinduism, that is not going to happen unfortunately..
why stop there? Put him in house arrest too😅
@@Butwhy23 aah. That's very tempting !!! 😁😁
@@kannaninsevagan3415 for you?

A frank and open statement always gets bad remarks .
for that matter people can not remain liars all the time.truth .will have its impact one-day when there
Will be oneness of views . Hats off to Ranjani and Gayatri
Kudos to my two sisters for their views on social media--TMK ,time you redeem your errors hurting certain communities.
Very crispy reply that Music Remain and not the Venue which is a temporary phenomenon that erupt misdeed and Let's not carried away by politicising to dilute the stands..
I would ask these sisters to say something about what their ancestors had written in Manusmriti as well...
Don't be hypocrite..
Appreciate the stand taken by the highly talented music artists who are standing up for the SANATANIS
The tone and tenor of Mr Murali's letter indicate a veiled threat to the renowned musicians Ranjani and Gayathri for their decision to withdraw from the proceedings of the award function of Madras Music Academy. I want to ask one thing to Mr Murali....Is Madras Music Academy owned by him, just because he is holding the post of president of the academy? What is the criteria for choosing the recepient of the Sangeeta Kalanidhi Award? If music is the only criterion, are they choosing exponents of other types of music, like Western Classical, Arabic, etc.,? If they are awarding only to Carnatic Musicians, what is the guideline they follow? Will they choose a Brahmin, Hindu Basher like the one they have chosen this time, who is for substituting the words Rama with Jesus in the Kruthis of Thyagaraja, thereby destroying the basic tenet of Karnataka Sangeetam, which is Bhakthi?Are they approving that? Really Shameful and Disgusting to have such persons who don't give any value to our culture ? It's high time they are replaced by some other eminent persons who value the highly respected traditions instead of the persons from the left-oriented Hindu Ram family
You need not be sad be happy that you know the true colours of person managing the academy niw who should get out and give to people who have values
More respect for legendary sisters for fight back evil ideology and corrupt music academy.
More power to the RaGa sisters for calling the bluff. There are two questions, for which there are no convincing answers so far - (1) Why did the academy decided to announce the president for this year's conference so early - The timing of this announcement is very suspicious, esp when you see politicians of a certain hue are rushing to defend the award (2) All these years the awardee has looked the other way and I dont think has even performed in the academy citing B-patriarchy, elitism and what not - what has changed now?
Very well spoken...need to stand up for bhramins. We completely support these great sisters
TM KRISHNA us CRYPTO who does not subscribe to devotion to HINDU SANATANI SYSTEM. Appreciate the SUSTERS foylr their courageous/logical stand.
Dear musical sisters. Your points are valid i support you
I think Music academy, with N.Ram , from Hindu newspaper at the helm, with their strong atheist leanings, wants music academy to get off the Carnatic music domain...and hence playing with this kind of mischief
He is not Ram. His name is Ramuddin.
Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, a prominent social reformer and the founder of the Dravidar Kazhagam in South India, was known for his radical views on caste, religion, and gender equality. However, there is no historical evidence to support the claim that Periyar ever called for genocide. Instead, his activism was primarily focused on social reform, particularly the eradication of caste discrimination, the empowerment of women, and the advocacy for rationalism and self-respect.
Periyar's critiques were often directed at institutional and societal structures that perpetuated inequality, and his methods included speeches, writings, and non-violent protests. While his views and methods were controversial and sometimes provocative, attributing a call for genocide to him is not accurate based on historical records and his body of work.
It's important when discussing historical figures to rely on verified historical data and scholarly research to understand their contributions and viewpoints accurately. Misinterpretations or misinformation can lead to misunderstandings about their legacy. If there are specific instances or statements you're referring to, it might be helpful to look at those in their historical and societal context for a better understanding.
Kudos to RaGa for their brave stand
I feel that Carnatic music should be offered to all, a lot of Thamizh songs should be sung or created in Carnatic music, all communities should be encouraged to learn and practice, all castes that work for the artists that work in the background should be recognised - that is what TMK is speaking about. Without getting aroused by bits and pieces of what he says, do listen to his long interviews and pick up his books and read. I am an ardent fan of Carnatic music and I don’t belong to the Brahmin community - it is usually been taught and practiced for generations only in their household and I am not against the same - it should be more democratic so it is celebrated by one and all
Neither expertise,,nor pretending.. only integrity should be honoured and Mr. TMK is not in my list of honourables.
@music-amysticitself232
“Neither expertise,,nor [...] my list of honourables.”
===================
It is not surprising that an honourable person is missing from the list of ‘honourables’ when the list is made by a non-honourable person.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheist one becomes honourable not by personal greatness but first of all by having respect for the greater heritage which has blessed us with a unique knowledge and has given us recognition. TMK is good in creating blunders that's it.
Lots of clarity in the interview of Ranjini & Gayatri, this is only one Sabha where they are not singing,so we rasikas will go anywhere to hear them sing,God Bless
well said Ra Ga Madam, we are with you.
We as music lovers never liked the way TM spoke of a community .Afte the Magsaysay award he has started abuse of Hindu Gods,he wouldn't dare to say about Muslims.Why sing our music when he can convert to another religion of his choice.
Courage. Thank you for speaking up and staying firm.
Kudos for standing up
Support you both Ma'ams.
Proud of you both for highlighting
Super. We are behind you and greatly appreciate your views and decisions.
Well explained by sisters.we stand by them
everybody has right for opinions.
within the frsme work of constitution. nobody can be denied an award for having an opinion within the frame work of constitution.
Music Academy, Chennai has fallen into the hands of leftist activists who have no public support and Dravidian politics. The famous Music Academy has lost its credibility by awarding a person who is less known for music and more for controversy. Periyar ideology is hatred and violence against Brahman community which is followed by corrupt DMK and supported by the fellow who got awarded. The Carnatic music will do well without the patronage of the Music Academy but the same Music Academy will lose its reputation, credibility and relevance in future. There are many Sabhas in Chennai and other cities which can host the Carnatic musicians. The anti Hindu news paper itself has lost credibility since it is controlled by N Ram and his stooges which is damaging the Music Academy, Chennai. Well done Ranjani and Gayatri for your bold opinion. Boycott the Academy which is bereft of Music now.
Well said 👌
Any right thinking musicians will withdraw from the Music Academy. These sisters' courage to stand up against the mighty music academy is to be appreciated.
Thanks for speaking out. Brave sisters
I support the madams..
Tmk has gone too much
All power to the sisters
Concerns are Very well explained by both of you Madam
Ranjani and Gayathri so blessed to give such grand music to the universe!you both are so intelligent and articulate and such clear opinions on this relevant topic and I fully agree with you that thebashing Brahmin community Is receiving from non-Brahmins all the time.thanks for standing up for the community at last and enough is enough! The DMK government is always creating issues wherever Brahmins excel he has to eliminate the community that seems to be the Logan of DMK supporters!yet we Brahmins prevail!we thrive in this animosity and hatred of this community for the past 70 years enough is enough!brahmin community adorn the Poonam as a sword and go to battle against forces that are trying to destroy your communities faith!❤
Well said sisters
I support. I am not Brahmin but I hate targeting any minorities. Put the past aside please just think what todays youth in that community may feel? if I put myself in their shoes these comments are very hurting. Knowledge in others is not to be feared, join hands with learned one and grow, share your knowledge then we all will have great future ahead of us.
Super 👌
MusicAcadrmy concerts of Dec 2024 - Jan 2025 should be be a total boycott by not just musicians but also by music lovers who believe in sanctity of the kritis of carnatic music. We should all join hands to see that the music Academy concerts become a TOTAL WASHOUT. and that this so called "elite" group who are now at the helm of affairs become laughing stocks and are made to eat humble pie. This anti brahmin/ anti god/ anti sanatan Dharm rant should be stopped at all costs. Jai Shree Ram! Jai BJP, JAI HIND!
Mr. N. Murali, who is the president of the Music Academy is a brother of N.Ram ex editor-in-chief of of the anti-hindu newspaper ' the Hindu '. N. Ram is a Cristian and anti-hindu and affiliated to the anti-hindu DMK. So it is no wonder the Music Academy has awarded this man who praises EVRamasamy.
TM Krishna and his followers should learn what is humanity and what they is totally wrong to a community who don’t follow any violent way to protect them selves as some others do
Completely agree with R&G. Good decision. This is the way arrogance is shown its place. The interviewer seems to lack knowledge and depth of classical culture of Bharath.
Perfect madam
Hats of to you both
Madam,
Both of you have lucidly explained the issue but these facts.
Is this an award for the best Brahmin or best Carnatic musician ladies?
😅
I support d sentiments of Ranjini n Gyatri .
mam, you both did the right thing. proud of you both for standing up for the Brahmin community. nobody can generalize and call this community an evil community. thanks 💯
Incidentally, hasn't the circulation of the "hindu" dropped drastically in recent Years. There was a time that I used to get the delhi edition of the Hindu. Now, it's years since I've stopped that thanks to the kind of editorial board that exists. For me, now, it's only Times of India and Hindustan Times.!!!!
There is a lot of bickering and fighting within the Hindu publications family.. they no longer command the respect they did earlier.. they are so blatantly leftist..
Yes indeed, the Hindu's circulation has come down drastically.
Really TMK doesn't deserve this recognition in view of his attitude towards Music, Musicians and Rasikas also. It is unethical to MMA to select him for the Recognition who has Boycotted MMA for the last decade. Are there not Self Respected persons in MMA
Brahmins are just one or two percentage in the society.What harm they have done to others?Brahmins work hard in music with pure bhakthi when compared to others .
Can someone list TMKs contribution to spreading carnatic music ? He has been at it for couple of decades now ? Any student of his that is from the community he has been trying so hard to "uplift" ? Does he compose , created new ragas and written songs since he is against hinduism ? What about the people that play the instruments in his concerts ? Do any aetheist commies feature in there ?
Giving award to periyariat fellow is shame fr indian traditional values and culture nd true divine karanatik musical art.
What's ur problem??😂 I hope you are educated enough!! Periyar was absolutely not against Brahmins !! He was in the motive to abolish the discrimination among PPL in spite of what religion nor the caste?! The UNTOUCHABILITY 💯...NO GOD HAS TAUGHT TO TREAT PPL BASED ON RELIGION NOR CASTES !! That's what periyar wanted !! That's humanity
Carnatic Music is to everyone not particularly for this or that community!! These musicians singing in foreign countries and what their religion was !!? Are they hindu?? Even foreigners who were Christian listen right !! That doesn't mean they shouldn't hear this music as if carnatic Music belongs only to us ?!ol😂!! Same goes in India !!
@@Username.........4796 exactly!!! singing before foreigners and white skinned people is extremely prestigious. Even accepting a foreigner student is progressive. But inside the country untouchability exists if you are a Hindu low caste Carnatic musician. If he/ she is from other religion then well you can imagine. Everyone sites the example of KJ Yesudas and Neyyattinkara Vasudevan who are not even from TN. No-one is against Brahmin community. They themselves assume so. If they are open minded then prove it by accepting underprivileged singers as shishyas from all communities. Why showing off in front of media by boycotting and blaming someone who had the guts to openly acknowledge what is happening in the all so graceful music industry.
Carnatic music comes from devas courtesans. Do some research
Very well said ,supporting you ❤😊
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?
Such a low defence by Mr.Murali...unbecoming of his stature...so disrespectful.of.the art and artisans he claims.to represent
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.
Why should they defend their action??it is their choice just the way TMK chose to glorify periyar.
RaGa, I salute thee for taking a categorical and principled stand against the hypocrite and also the MMA which is polluted by leftists. I sincely wish the entire community of Carnatic Music artists join the protest and boycott the conference.
More support to you both
You have made a right move. Highly appreciated. 😊
Unbelievable bravery take a bow only matter of time before stalin family will be politically irrelevant
We all support the boycott of traditional musical art legends emotion.
Reporters need to focus on the issue rather than pose hypothetical questions. RAGA have withdrawn from the festival mainly because TMK will preside over the conference. They do not agree with his or the Academy's views and do not want to be a part of the event. That’s it. There is no further sensational story here.
Support and Respect 🙏🙏
