An insightful article

rare and insightful study of a musician
One approach in literary criticism is to explore the relationship between a writer’s life and their work, and Mr. Krishna applies this brilliantly to music.
There is no doubt about M.S. Subbulakshmi’s remarkable personality, but the article delves / जानकारी देना into whether she was able to fully express it through her music.

It is a widely acknowledged fact in the public sphere that she was under the influence of her husband, who played a significant role in determining the composition of her concerts.
The Madras High Court verdict
The Madras High Court ने क्या कहा ?
The Madras High Court did not address whether Mr. Krishna insulted M.S. Subbulakshmi in its verdict. It raised no objections to the conferment of the ‘Sangita Kalanidhi’ award by the Music Academy on Mr. Krishna.
Instead, the High Court focused on the Sangita Kalanidhi M.S. Subbulakshmi Award, which is presented byThe Hindu to the recipient of the Sangita Kalanidhi award and includes a prize of ₹1 lakh
M.S. Subbulakshmi क्या चाहती थी ?
In her will, M.S. Subbulakshmi has stated that she did not want any award to be given in her name.
Based on this, the judgment ruled that to respect her wishes, a cash prize could be awarded without using her name.
tamil media, which confused
The award presented by The Hindu is titled the ‘Sangita Kalanidhi M.S. Subbulakshmi Award.’
However, the Tamil media, which confused the ‘Sangita Kalanidhi’ award given by the Music Academy with the ‘Sangita Kalanidhi M.S. Subbulakshmi Award’ presented by The Hindu to the awardee, misreported the verdict.
The media mistakenly understood that the Sangita Kalanidhi award is given in M.S. Subbulakshmi’s name.
Tamil newspapers, television channels, and social media have wrongly reported that there is a ban on conferring the Sangita Kalanidhi Award in her name.
There have also been reports claiming that the High Court has stayed the conferment of the Sangita Kalanidhi award on Mr. Krishna.
कुछ प्रश्न जो यहाँ जजमेंट से उठ रहे हैं ?
When the High Court took up the case, it was reported with the same confusion
Some English media outlets also misunderstood the situation. The judgment was not clearly understood due to a lack of basic knowledge about the background of the award. This raises questions about the credibility of the news published by the media.
The verdict stated that The Hindu should not use the name of M.S. Subbulakshmi. This raises a few questions.
In previous years, the winners of the Sangita Kalanidhi Award were presented with the award in M.S.’s name. What will happen to those instances? The High Court did not provide a judgment on that matter, possibly choosing not to interfere in such past decisions.
name of the award must be changed or it will need to be presented under a different name
In the future, when The Hindu awards the ₹1 lakh prize to the recipient of the Sangita Kalanidhi Award, M.S. Subbulakshmi’s name cannot be used. This means that either the name of the award must be changed or it will need to be presented under a different name.
केवल हिन्दू ही उनके नाम से पुरुस्कार नहीं दे रहा ?
Another question arises. Awards are given in the name of M.S. Subbulakshmi not only by The Hindu but also by other organisations.
For example, the ‘Eyal Isai Nataka Manram’ of the Government of Tamil Nadu presents the ‘M.S. Subbulakshmi Award’ every year.
Singer S. Janaki received the award for 2016 and Vani Jayaram won it in 2020.
A wish fulfilled
कोर्ट ने कहा अवार्ड और पैसा तो मिलेगा ही
As in the verdict, Mr. Krishna is not affected. He can still receive the Sangita Kalanidhi award. And the cash prize offered by The Hindu can also be awarded.
However, M.S. Subbulakshmi’s name can no longer be used for any award. In her will, M.S. Subbulakshmi stated: “After my death, no trust or memorial should be erected / निर्माण in my name. No funds should be raised or given in my name.”
क्या किया जाना चाहिए ?
If M.S. Subbulakshmi’s wish is to be respected, her name should be removed from all awards and recognitions, in line with this judgment.
In the context of conferring the Sangita Kalanidhi on Mr. Krishna this year, and the subsequent court battle, it can be said that her wish has been fulfilled. Mr. Krishna, who celebrated MS through his article, has now honoured her wish.
Until now, it was not publicly known that she had written such a thing in her will
The information in the will, written over 25 years ago, has now come to light, reinforcing a dimension of her personality wherein she refrains from placing herself at the forefront. T.M. Krishna has paved the way for this. Both deserve to be celebrated.
