The Thesis Is Good Regarding What Happened In Last Twenty Years But Totally Inadequate & Distorts As Well As Omits Contributions Of Many Others Like Prof. S.ramanathan (who Preceded Every One Else), Kalyanakrishna Bhagavathar,k.v.n, Palghat Raghu( Who Performed At The Hollywood Bowl At Invitation Of Harrison, One Of The Beatles Etc) & Others May Be Mostly Because Of Ignorance On The Part Of The Thesis Author. The Period I Am Talking About Is The Coverage Of That Period Is A Partisan White Washed "weslyan View" Of What Actually Happened. Vkv To Jayaram
