Hats off to Vijayalakshmi for her passion and her principles. After reading this article I am keen on listening to her music. I have been listening to Hindustani, Carnatic and Western classic music for the past 40 years. Thank you Shobhaji and rediff for introducing me to a classical singer. May her tribe increase. Another such classical singer is Jayshree Patnekar who was featured in Mumbai Mirror and who was prevented from singing by her husband. She has taken to singing after his demise. There are any number of Aurangzeb's in our country just as there are any number of Tansens.

For her undying passion for singing and not buckling to societal pressures or her own physical limitations...Hats off to such inspirational figures. It would be a refreshing change if rediff publishes such articles rather than the artificial negativity created in DU etc.
