Indiaâs independence came at the cost of millions of lives and deep psychological scars. As attempts were made to urgently stitch together the states and princely provinces that would eventually comprise the Republic of India, the Constituent Assembly also debated the symbolsâthe national flag, motto, emblem, anthem.

Thodur Madabusi Krishna is a vocalist in the Karnatik tradition. He was awarded the Sangita Kalanidhi, one of the most prestigious honours in Karnatik music, conferred annually by the Madras Music Academy. He is also a prominent public intellectual, writing and speaking on issues of structural inequality and culture. Krishna is the driving force behind the Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha and the Svanubhava initiative. He has been part of inspiring collaborations, such as Chennai Poromboke Paadal, performances with the Jogappas, who are traditional transgender musicians, the Karnatik Kattaikuttu that brought together art forms from two ends of the social spectrum, and an enduring poetic partnership with Tamil writer Perumal Murugan. He is also involved in The Edict Project, an attempt to reimagine Ashoka’s edicts in musical form, in collaboration with Ashoka University.
Krishna is the award-winning author of
A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story, Reshaping Art and Sebastian and Sons: A Brief History of Mrdangam Makers. In 2016, he received the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award in recognition of ‘his forceful commitment as artist and advocate to art’s power to heal India’s deep social divisions’.
