The musicians of Gwalior are disappointed over the negligent attitude towards music maestro Tansen.
The secretary of music institute Ragayan Pandit Ram Baboo Katre said that musicians of not only Gwalior but also of the country are unhappy over this negligence. There was a time when Central ministers, Governors, guests of Chief Minister and eminent musicians were invited to this Samaroh. But for the last 20 years the standard of the Samaroh has been deteriorating and as a result no Tansen Alankaran is organised now.
Even after knowing that election would be held this year and the Code of Conduct would be enforced, the Ministry did not take any decision on the Tansen Alankaran. The place of Samaroh and the names of the guest and musicians to be honoured alankaran should have been decided six months ago. The Ragayan has written a letter to the Chief Minister asking him to take the matter seriously. The president of Ragayan Mahant Ram Sewak Das Pandit Ram Baboo Katre, Sri Ram Umedkar, Anant Mahajani, Sharad Bakshi, Vasant Afle, Pandu Telang, Murari lal Pathak etc demanded that the glory of Samaroh must be restored.
