Ceci a été-l'origine de ces changements que nous avons apportés au contenu et à l'apparence de India Perspectives. L'environnement qui nous entoure évolue rapide- ment et nous pensons que le magazine devait s'adapter à l’époque et rester en phase avec ce que vous souhaitez. C'est dans cet es- Nprit que nous sommes revenus à la publication mensuelle, mais avec un look contem- porain et avec un contenu plus representatif que jamais de notre société dynamique, pluraliste et vibrante. Pour nous aider à réaliser notre vision du magazine nous nous sommes associés à Média Transasia, une maison d'édition bien connue qui a plus de 26 titres à son actif dans le monde entier. L'entreprise nous apportera sa vaste expérience et nous aidera à vous apporter India Perspectives dans son nouvel avatar amélioré. La parution sera peut être plus mince, maintenant que c'est un mensuel, mais en aucun cas allons-nous compromettre la qualité. Aussi, nous mettons un accent particulier sur les traductions, afin que où que vous soyez dans le monde et quelle que soit celle de nos 18 langues dans laquelle vous le lisez, ce sera comme s'il avait été écrit spécialement pour vous. Actuellement, la Coupe du monde ICC se joue dans le sous-continent - la dernière fois qu’elle se déroula ici fut en 1996-et la fièvre de cricket est à son point culminant. Dans cette parution, nous analysons pourquoi notre nation est folle de cricket et pourquoi Sachin Tendulkar est un dieu pour de nombreux indiens. Egalement, notre Ministre des Affaires étrangères Nirupama Rao écrit sur la vision qu’à Tagore de l'Inde et de la Chine. Cette année, lors du Sommet de Davos, notre pays a fait fortement ressentir sa présence avec la campagne “ L'Inde y-compris” et nous vous apportons un instantané de l'événement, avec son mélange unique de style et de substance. Pour vous aider à mieux comprendre le comment de l’Inde, nous avons lancé une série qui vous permettra de découvrir les partenariats de développement, dont le pre- mier décrit la formation offerte en vertu du Programme Indien de Coopération Tech- nique et Economique. Pour rendre le magazine encore plus convivial et pertinent nous avons inclus des dossiers spéciaux sur la culture, le voyage et les arts, ainsi que des critiques de films, de livres et bien plus encore. Nous nous réjouissons de vos commentaires sur notre nouvelle initiative, alors écrivez-nous à [email protected].

  • SRUTI August 2011 Sruti South Indian Classical Music and Dance Monthly
    l SRUTI August 2011 Sruti south indian classical music and dance monthly Issue 2 16 November 1983 It's with a sense of gratification at the warm reception given to the inaugural issue of SRUTI that we have prepared our second offering. The lead group of articles this time focusses on what has come to be called Tamil Isai. The principal article (p.4), researched and written by Anandhi Ramachandran, provides a retrospective analysis of the genesis and the controversial initial years of the Tamil Isai Movement, while a companion piece (p.8) by her offers a balance sheet of sorts on Tamil Isai Sangam, the institution set up to implement the movement's goals. The hymns composed by Tamil saints, known as Tevaram, form an important part of the musical heritage of the Tamils and a report on the interview conducted by Muthumeenakshi with an official of the Dharmapuram Adheenam Mutt throws considerable light on the hoary tradition of hymn- singing (p. 12). Rounding out the group is a Sruti Report (p. 11) on what prominent musicians have to say on Tamil compositions and what our chief has to say on whether the proponents of Tamil Isai and their opponents have served the listening public. The latter's analysis is presented in the first edition of an opinion column on music, which we call Bull's Eye. (p. 15); it will be a more or less regular feature. A companion column on dance is also envisaged. Giants have trodden the Carnatic earth, offering music sublime. We have plans to publish special articles about them from time to time.

  • Nov. 06, 1998 MUSIC the Great Master O
    http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1522/15220650.htm India's National Magazine From the publishers of THE HINDU Vol. 15 :: No. 22 :: Oct. 24 - Nov. 06, 1998 MUSIC The great Master of theory and practice relives Carnatic music in the twentieth century. He is the Pitamaha of Carnatic music. Nine decades of living by, because of and for music has earned Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer this respectful and affectionate accolade. Slightly bent and looking frail - but not in speech or convictions - Semmangudi, the uncompromising traditionalist, remains the ultimate authority in the theory and practice of Carnatic music. In his 90 years, Semmangudi has seen Carnatic music emerge from temples onto sabha stages and to the farthest shores. He has also seen the music, or rather its practice, metamorphose - from being the preserve of professional families to being a shared cultural experience of common people. For Semmangudi, the journey began in 1908. His cousin Narayanaswamy Iyer nurtured Semmangudi's talent initially and then it was taken up by Sakharama Rao and Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer. Semmangudi developed a style of his own in which the nasality, which bothered him in his youth, became a distinguished hallmark. S. THANTHONI Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, the Pitamaha of Carnatic music, at 90. Although a traditionalist, he introduced many novelties in the works of composers ranging from Swati Tirunal to Ambujam Krishna. He also popularised rare ragas such as Bhavapriya, Salaghabhairavi and Narayanagowla. Semmangudi's technical competence and analytical proficiency make him a natural teacher. His patience and personalised attention has produced many an excellent musician and instructor.

She came to be widely known as MLV. Her initials can be said to depict three outstanding features of her music: Melody, Laya and Vidwat. The combination of these in her music, in which melody enveloped the other two, won her the admiration of the cognoscenti but also appealed to the lay listener. 4 Sruti E - Issue 2 Life and Achievements The child Vasanthakumari wanted to become a doctor. She was always perhaps regretful about what might have been. “Doctors save lives,” she was fond of saying wistfully, voicing her admiration for the medical profession. Vasanthakumari’s parents—she was born as an only child on 3 July 1928 in Madras—were both musicians. Father Koothanur Ayyasami Iyer was well-versed in Carnatic music and had a keen interest in Hindustani classical music as well. Mother Lalithangi belonged to a family traditionally devoted to the fine arts. She had learnt music from Coimbatore Thayi and Flute Subba Rao, and padam-s and javali-s in particular from Veena Dhanammal. She was an active concert artist. She and her husband were both justly praised for their efforts to propagate the devarnama-s of Purandaradasa in the South (See Sruti 14).
