Brinda Karat could be introduced like this but should never be.
Since her equally talented sister Radhika Roy and brother-in-law Dr Prannoy Roy run NDTV (New Delhi Television), Brinda's Leftist orientation is intriguing for many.
Brinda Karat tries to answer that question while talking to Senior Editor Sheela Bhatt about events that shaped her life and dragged her to the Left from Right.
Brinda learnt directly from the maestro in the traditional gurukulam system and, within a short span of three years, she had mastered over 300 compositions of Tyagaraja, besides various other musical forms like Tevaram-s and Tirupugazh-s.
Brinda started modulating her voice to make it sharper when she sang subtle, fast phrases in higher regions which imparted a laser beam precision and intensity to the phrases, and deeper, when she sang in the lower octaves or sustained notes with karvai-s.
Brinda believed that singing loudly in the higher octaves prevented clarity in the lower octaves, and moreover, was ruinous to the vocal cords in the long run.
