legendary musicians of Hindustani and Carnatik together on
a platform and IMA has got success with leading artistes performed
in previous Jalsas.
She said the IMA is also doing its best to provide medical
aid with the help of noted doctors and famous hospitals in
the country to provide timely medical aid to the needy and
helpless musicians who have no money. But at the same time
she said that only can avail medi aid who have a professional
track record of at least 10 years.

a platform to the young talents of Indian music lovers and

inspire the younger generation to take up Indian Music as
a profession and also to take pride in carrying forward the

interest in the innovation and move with pace of time.

Music is getting enormous and large following in the foreign
countries but he will like to see the traditional music to
be a part and parcel of Indian people.
He said the IMA is doing a yemon job in promoting and opening
avenues for the upcoming and unknown artistes.

mantra to produce an instant musician. In fact, great artistes
come to the fore after long practice and devotion, and with
the help of guru who makes his disciple a noted personality.
A born music lover Pandit Sharma said that he is not allergic
to the new trend in modern music but he said that this western-influenced
music lasts temporary. It can never match the height and feel
of classical music, so Indian music will be always a soothing
balm for the people.
Asked if Indian music has any impact on the masses, he said
yes it has as it is not like pop, rap or re-mix that excites
people, in fact it enters your heart and transports to the
people to a new world of peace and pleasure. He also said
that this music can't be borrowed or purchased. This is invented
and practiced constantly, he added.
He said that IMA is the brainchild of Durga Jasraj and Vikram
Shankar, directors of Art and Artistes, an entertainment firm,
which has dedicated itself to the resoration and welfare of
the Indian Music and Culture.
