Personally speaking, I am a huge fan of Indian Classical ragas, but the presentation is a put off.
Indian Classical music has for long been under control of Egoistic, arrogant musicians, who fail to inspire the youth of today. The patterns of interaction and methods of delivery of music are no longer appreciated.
The whole routine of a live classical music event, the touching of feet, the subservience expected from audiences, and mixing the music with religion is a big put off.
If something is made extra complicated, only for a few, the masses will never go for it. The bible was written in English, as few could read Latin. Same holds true here.
The key to success in all forms of art and life is - reinvention and adaptation. Classical Music needs to reinvent and repackage itself to stay alive.
