Anthony, Indian Bollywood has become so commercialised and crass, that I will cite on example.The famous Indian singer, Lata mangeshkar (above 80 yrs now) was invited to garce an occasion, which she declined citing her health. Picqued, the sponsors had called up on one mediocre singer to imitate her and it seems she made remarks denigrating the famous singer. Many people were disgusted at this inappropriate display.When she was asked to react, Lata simply said, "India is a free country." This is what I call 'Grace'. Lata is the recipent of the highst civilian honour in India, Bharat Ratna (meaning Gem of India), awarded by the Government. It is said, that when she sang a song about the dead soldiers on the India-China war front , the then Prime Minister, Nehru was in tears. And she is famous for her prayer song , "Vaishnava Ganato", a fovourite of Mahatma Gandhi.The video I had posted in my fist message on this subject, from the Indian film, 'Anupama", you can see how dignified she seems in her singing, with matching charm of the actress of yester years, Sharmila Tagore..Vijaya Kumar Marla On Thursday, March 26, 2015 7:54 PM, Anthony Boynton via Marxism <marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. ***************************************************************** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlFCKZkeBrg _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/marlavk%40yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
