My grandmother voted today from the comfort of her home. This facility is a boon for the elderly. Huge thanks to @ECISVEEP which has done a fantastic job of reaching out to senior citizens of the country.

Dear Mr Murali,

We thank you for the courtesy of providing a response to our letter dated 20 March 2024.
We’d like to clarify that our letter to you was only a notification of our withdrawal without any request for your decisions or actions. We did not post the letter on social media, but merely informed our fans on the same subject. Now we realise, this didn't help you manage the optics and we are sorry about it.

Did we question your prerogative to award anyone? No
Did we exercise our prerogative to withdraw? Yes
Did we refuse to be implicit apologists for genocide mongers and filthy discourse? Yes

With your verbose answer to questions we never raised, you are trying to build a convenient narrative and cast aspersions on us. Your statements to the press in this regard are immoral and dishonest.

We were a bit surprised as to why your response reads like a release on behalf of the awardee, erasing the distinction between him and the Music Academy. But it became obvious when Mr. N. Ram, media hegemon, joined as an undeclared spokesperson, with his campaign branding us “bigoted, casteist coterie”.

We immensely respect this hallowed institution and it will be the happiest day for us and for millions of people to see star performers emerge from underprivileged communities and dominate this stage. We want to see the day when the TTK auditorium is filled up with a diverse inclusive crowd from all communities and religious minorities.

This transformation should begin at the top. Kindly start with the entrenched Executive Committee consisting of only brahmins and royalty you have been heading for 2 decades. Unlike serious hardwork and the long journey it takes for artists to excel, this transformation is achievable instantly with a simple resolution and a bunch of resignations.

Please consider leading by example, lest the world call it mere lip service and start branding you as a “bigoted, casteist coterie”.

Thanks & regards,
Ranjani & Gayatri

We believe in a value system that respects art and artists, vaggeyakaras, rasikas, institutions, our roots and culture. We will be in moral violation if we were to bury these values and join this year’s conference.

Its dangerous to overlook Mr TM Krishna’s glorification of a figure like EVR who 1. Openly proposed a genocide of ‘brahmins’
2. Repeatedly called/abused every woman of this community with vile profanity
3. Relentlessly worked to normalize filthy language in social discourse

UPSC study channels are run by covert communists who teach a lot of factual blunders & blatantly distort Indian History. These channels have viewership in millions.

RT this tweet if you want me to write a detailed thread exposing their factual blunders & fraudulent narratives!

Why do you need to be careful while reading translations of Indian epics & other literature from the likes of Sheldon Pollock, Arshhia Sattar, Devdutt Mythyologist, Audrey Trushke etc.

@hamsanandi ತುಂಬಾ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ. Maybe you can do few more threads or a full video on YouTube on Hindola and Abheri. There are so many melodious kannada film songs in these two ragas as well.

[Prashanth S Bharadwaj @PrashanthSB1989]

@vikramsampath @akshayjog2 @PenguinIndia @premanka @PreetiMarketINK Could you please plan a kannada translation of this excellent book.

@AdvaitaKala This is a very common tradition in Karnataka. The gau puja is done and the cow is the first to enter the house after which the owners enter the house.
