Audience data shows there are now more fans outside South Korea than at home. Like hip hop, there’s no reason why K-Pop can’t have a similarly inclusive trajectory while staying true to its core.

Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Wow. Very nice piece. I haven’t heard of Coimbatore Thayi before. What a great story…thank you very much for bringing her story and her music to light. It is wonderful that her music was recorded a century back and is still available in some archive. We should be thankful to everyone who’s had a role to play in preserving this and other such recordings over so many decades.
The embedded Javali and Arutpa links seem to link back to the Maa Janaki file. I hope the links can be corrected?
Vikram Sampat is doing a commendable job in collecting/ cataloging our old music. What a pity that a few years still deeper into the past, and everything will suddenly fall quiet and get engulfed in the dark, because there was no gramophone then! Life thrived even then with all its beautiful beauties, color and melodies, but we will never know what Tansen or Haridas sounded like! All of the nineteenth century to the entire seventeenth, sixteenth centuries…. So, so many good singers must have lived all through those ages whom we will never hear sing. Sigh!
But why Savarkar?! When Vikram Sampat is so immersed in music which transcends all human segregation, all religious boundaries, how come he is fascinated by a man who embodied exactly the opposite values, of narrow emphases, of pigeonholing of humans? Well, may be his book of Savarkar will not be merely idolatry.
