I am a westerner who has studied Indian music and culture for 45 years. Sorry, I have come to the conclusion that westerners can become excellent musicians, but , just due to the fact that they have not been born and bred in the tradition, can NEVER fully comprehend the music. This would apply to most I ndians or any other peoples not coming from the traditional training. Appreciation,yes. Good performance, yes. Mastery, no.

Pranam Panditji. In terms of retaining the essence of Indian classical music I feel one way is to somehow subsidise it at the school level - especially for the private school system and tie the teaching staff and pedagogy to a well known local music gurukul/ society or Mahavidyalaya. The state government should provide subsidy for instruments and teaching staff. If we can have yoga and art them why not shashtriya sangeet in school ? Making it mandatory for 6-7 years will probably revive interest.

Why not call him Pandit Ken Zuckerman?
