Even then people would not have let him live in peace, saying that ragas
are merely scientific treatment of folk music floating around, from which
he is lifting notes and getting 'inspired'..!! :-)
In spite of all the adversities like invasion by different cultures,
unpopularity among the masses, diversion into different styles, etc. etc.
the fact remains that for whatsoever reasons, classical music has survived
for thousand of years. The reasons for this can be speculated by all of us,
meanwhile one can confidently say that for the same reasons, ARRs music
will also prove to be eternal.

Subject: Re: Tunes recycled -An old chaps challenge
one is conscious inspiration, well thought out and planned. second
could be inspiration without even knowing the source ourselves.
for eg. that jeans song whose 1st line sounds like 'o mere sona re'.
i read in a post here, that when ARR was asked about it, he said its
a co-incidence. but the fact is that there is similarity in notes.
which for me means that when one's brain is the kinds that is pre-
occupied with musical notes most of our days and nights, one wouldnt
even realize the starting point of our creativity. neither is it
important for the listeners.
so when stylegamer and pankaj kakkar are talking about inspiration,
are u talking about consciously taking a tune, and coming up with
something new? sometimes its just a different treatment like ARR
does for his songs? (eg. swades and baba). bcos thats what your
examples seem to point to.
anyway, we know ARR doesnt need these tunes; i imagine, if he were
born 2 or 3 thousand years ago, he would be probably one of those
ppl who would be busy inventing ragas!
