Every cultural breakthrough by women must be celebrated. On March 8, we pay tribute to ghatam player Vidushi Sukkanya Ramgopal and her disciple Sumana Chandrashekar along with mridangam player Lakshmi Pillai, and morching player Bhagyalakshmi M Krishna.
The following is a conversation between C S Lakshmi and Sukkanya Ramgopal, excerpted from The Singer and the Song, published by Kali for Women in 2000.
This is a part of the series of posts, leading up to the International Women’s Day, that the Indian Cultural Forum is dedicating to women asserting change in cultural, economic, and socio-political spaces.
The interview has been excerpted from Singer and the Song written by CS Lakshmi, published by Kali for Women, 2000. Republished here with permission from the author.
