The tabla player is saddened by the dilapidated condition of classical music in India as it is not promoted the way it is done outside India where there are good institutions for learning music. He believes that the rich heritage will dwindle in the dark if not taken care of now. The younger generation is still not drawn to it due to lack of good institutions for learning classical music.
