This is a sad day not only for music lovers but also for all Indians who believe in freedom of thought and expression. TMK is not the first to start the trend.

Not many in the North may know that his ‘Harivarasanam’ in praise of Ayyappa is played every night in Sabarimala Temple when it closes for the day.
