P Chidambaram writes on the findings of the National Family Health Survey-5 and why they matter: “The big, breaking, bad news is that a little more than one-half of India’s population did not complete 10 years of school education — 59 per cent of women and 49. 8 per cent of men. This means that, after 75 years of Independence, one-half of the population cannot be engaged in jobs and businesses of the 21st century that require higher education, advanced technology and superior skills.”

The history of Hindustani music is replete with instances of experimentation that have shaped its course. It has evolved due to the creative impulse of numerous path-breakers. Santoor maestro Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, a recipient of several awards including the Padma Vibhushan, was one such path-breaker who encountered challenges in his efforts at establishing the santoor as an instrument for solo recitals at a time when the sitar and the sarod reigned supreme.
