I am interested in hearing about your experience as a westerner immersing yourself into South Indian music and culture. Apparently Jon Higgins had transformed himself into a 'pukka' bhagavathar, betel leaves and all!

it is high time we as indians shed the shackles of colonial complex of being very eager to know about what the westerners think about us or our culture. no westerner seems to bother about what indians think about them or their culture.
