Thanks for posting.
TMK is frank and emphatic.
I am in the process of reading his Book which may take some time.
I wish he attends this Forum and participates in our discussions on his views.
That will be Healthy for CM!

In his interview, among many other facts, at one point, Chi T.M.Krishna expressed ‘The sadness does not come from the fact that people have not supported me when I stuck my head out, but more from the fact that most are not willing to engage in direct discussions on these subjects. I know that some feel that many of the ideas I have put across are unnecessary or frivolous or even part of a PR strategy! I will not waste my time in trying to prove my integrity. In general, the classical music world lacks the courage and moral strength to face critical issues. We live in a self-absorbed world’.

That is the pity. Even legends, experts and knowledgeable persons keep mum behaving like illiterates running far away from their duties and responsibilities leave alone the ruthless politicians. amsharma

Well said Sarmaji!
The experience is yours too personally as you feel like a kindred spirit!
How can we change the attitudes?

TMK, I understand, calls this a group of people who are anonymous and he does not want to be part of an anonymous group.
He is forthright in whatever he says and he has a tremendous grasp of music. He replies when you write to him. Anyone can write a mail to him and get a reply.
