statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, urged business
conglomerates
and central-state-municipal governments of India to patronize and promote music
festivals throughout the country. India had abundance of musical talent (with
tradition going back to Sama-Veda), and all it needed was to channelize it and
give it a direction, Zed, who is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership
Confederation, added. |
