I had earlier written about Bezwada Wilson , recipient of this year’s Magsaysay award. Another Indian was also a recipient , the popular classical music singer T M Krishna.
The South Indian classical music, also called the Karnatik music, is bound strongly by traditional customs and rules and is dominated by Brahmins. T M Krishna has questioned and broke many of the traditions. He got the award specifically for promoting social and cultural inclusiveness.
