Must take Indian music to the world: PM Modi
The Hindu
"Every person in the world has the right to know, understand and learn Indian music and benefit from it.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged people to take Indian music to the world and called for bringing in technology in this sector by setting up startups based on music.
Speaking at an online event marking the launch of the Pandit Jasraj Cultural Foundation on the 92nd birth anniversary of the Indian classical vocalist, Mr. Modi said technology has entered the world of music in a big way globally.
"My request to the cultural foundation is that it should focus on two things specifically. We hear about globalisation but its definitions and talk surrounding it is centred around the economy. In today's times of globalisation, it is our responsibility that Indian music makes its mark and has an influence globally," he said.
