A small correction

Selvam, who could no longer do the work close to his heart after he lost his right hand in an accident in 1995.

He still repairs mrudangams. It is amazing to watch him work using his legs and one hand.

Nice article but one unwanted remark - ' Dalit Christian '
Why we keep harping on the religion/caste etc etc for every damn thing. He being a Christian is known from his name !!
