Guys... if people (parents or children) want it they'll learn it... Y force somethng on uninterested parties? If anybody wants to do a Ph.D in the 'glorious' indian history, they are free to do so anyways... so is anybody (not just south indian brahmin) who wants to learn bharat natyam or veena! If people don't do it, they probably have other priorities... U and I can't decide what those priorities shd be, simple as that!
