I am not a brahmin and not a follower of dravidian leaders.
all i said is as you mentioned people should be free to follow what ever they want. the arts is always by simple people and they nurture it. but when people started making money they make it more complicated and take it far from common man.
please look if ordinary artist from villages can eneter music academy or so many academies.
music is for people to listen but is it possible for any musiican to give it to publis you need real support only then a company can sponsor. putting inn simple words take cricket its not easy who ever plays can become a ciricketere too much money is there and game is no more too much money in music industry and no music
