She further stated that she was disappointed that instead of guiding kids to treat music as ibadat/prayer, they were being asked to compete/ask for votes, learn to look glamourous in the “name of Guru Shishya Parampara we are using their age and spoiling their innocence !!”
What disappoints me and saddens me is that rather than guiding these kids to treat music as Ibaadat/Prayer we are teaching them to compete /ask for votes/ learn to look glamorous … in the name of Guru Shishya Parampara we are using their age and spoiling their innocence !!
