This was to draw contrast with Dandapani Desikar, who, according to Madurai GS Mani, was denied chances in the Academy (or any other Madras Sabha) was denied chances because of his caste. He was also disrespected in AIR and was treated more like a light music artiste despite the classicism in his music according to Sanjay Subhramanyam.
I suspect this is clearly a mischief mongering in the lines of TMK !!!
That Dandapani Desikar was not given his due by the CM establishment during his time is indisputable. That it was because of his caste is moot. The best we can do now is make up for it which the present day artistes are doing in numbers. I do not see any mischief mongering.

Apart from Desikar, Sirkazhi Govindarajan was also not given his due by the establishment.
