So does Sangeet Natak Akademi, as well as all the state Akademi-s. They are
holding onto a large, hardly used bank of folk music recordings from across
India, all of which would benefit immensely from being aired out in CR
stations, which are probably the only stations interested in folk music anyway.
And yet, when I last requested permission, I was sent off with a pompous "Oh
no, they are ours!"

Indeed, going back in history a long way, we see that the Indian
subcontinent has never had a great desire to preserve records. Perhaps
a PI litigation?
