Google stands always in the forefront especially Google India in acknowledging the greatness and achievements of the people. How many people from India are aware of the Maestros like Alla Rakha? A great job done by Google.

Most citizens are interested only in their family affairs or entertainment on TV, movies. They are least interested in claasical music or dance. That is why the classical artists have always depended on patronage of kings in the past and now need government support.

And the government support is also inadequate. Most of the famous artists and musicians are languishing in poverty. In such a dreary scenario ,i feel Googles's efforts are really commendable.
