Mudicondan Venkatarama Iyer ...wow what a gem of a musician . He is amazing out of the world , but totally forgotten . His music is ethereal , dripping with bhavam .

:D Being popular is relative, subjective etc etc. SK awardee does not mean he or she is great and the artists who have not been awarded an SK is less great. Politics and other reasons perhaps have eluded the MA from awarding certain artists.

Also the named artists above are pure classical artists who have a niche audience or music lovers. They perhaps have not been crowd pullers.

Guys like TMK are popular for wrong reasons :D

these discussions are futile :o :o
