"SOME SUGAM SANGEET??how derogatory@ coloured."
My reply:
"This was the term used by many in those days. Read more about Sugam Sangeet below:
Light music is popularly known as 'SUGAM SANGEET' ' name given by senior officer of All India Radio ' Thakur Jaydevsinhji. Sugam Sangeet is a blend of two words ' Sugam ' Simply, easy to understand and, Sangeet ' means a music which is easy to understand. Here, 'Understand' stands for easy to enjoy. You need to understand to enjoy, but here, this "Understanding" should be very simple. Sangeet means Music. That means, this music is "easy to understand and enjoy". This definition is for 'Music'. Here, music is in the centre and as words (of Lyric) accompany music ' their togetherness should also be "SUGAM' ' easy."
Your Comments:
"What is wrong with classical music or folk music?"
My reply:
Everything is right with our classical music. Why break records of film music? Is that justified?
Our problem has been that the person in authority tries to impose his personal likes/dislikes on the rest of us. In a matured democracy, this is not done.

I know what sugam sangeet is.๐
I just asked you to define it, because my next statement asked you if film music was not sugam sangeet or light music๐ as per definition of sugam sangeet๐You never replied to that.
I agree that if such a thing happened it was in bad taste.breaking records is just not done๐

I like this statement of yours.
WE are a matured democracy, or should i say let us assume. but, what happens all around us in our daily lives, the politicians, goondas, the babus , lower ranking, higher ranking people around us, does it in any way reflect a democracy or a matured democracy?
since 1947, it has been a dynastic, autocratic, despotic [in different forms] of a so called government. The ministers in such a situation do what the powers to be want them to. I am not justifying what that person did.
I have met enough media personalities and journalists to know how the whole thing works.
I will take everything with a major pinch of salt.
It was nice interacting with you.
Life is full of greys and every story has a few sides to it.
Thank you for the interviews you posted.
