Dear Ram, To state that Dappakuttu only fasinates one section of the society is being absolute RACIST, you have started the same old caste based arguements stating that carnatic music is the best and the most divine, to be more precise let me tell you that Dappakuttu for Tamils is like what Bhangra is for Punjabis and like Vinayakam said dappakuttu has so much potential if used the right way it can be our entry to the world music scene like how Punjabi Mc or Rish Rich used bhangra with hiphop beats to reach the worldwide audience, Finally i want to request to the moderator not to encourage these sort of RACIST REMARKS IN THIS FORUM.........
