Good discussion in going on the Virasat Issue.

from Rajneesh Agnihotri
Hi Arvind,
I am not surprised but really shocked that being a uttarakhandi, you have critically used such words for the living legend of the uttarakhand.
If we talk about album, I really think it needs real guts to write such a big social issue on the behalf of local people. have you ever done something that has brought the revolution in our society?
You are pointing only about his political song (which is one of the most successful albums ever done in local dialect and people love it like anything). How can you forgot about his other so many compositions which is related to every feeling of uttarakhand whether it is “UTTARAKHAND ANDOLAN”, their women, kids and their people and culture. As an uttarakhandi singer the contribution he has made till yet…, Mr. Arvind what have you contributed yet towards uttarakhand and uttarakhandi people.
Do you have guts to write against your CM or your government for any issue? as you said – ‘Narendra Singh Negi started as a folk singer, but with time got entangled into politics due to his personal attacks as in nauchami narayan .’
For your kind information the song he has sung that was for the AAM JANTA of uttarakahnd and not for his personal entertainment and that is why the album was biggest high ever.
I am not agreeing with your prior view. Please find the attached links of videos which I am sending you. I hope you like it.

My Dear Brothers
What Mr. Negi did was right. Singing on popular subjects is very much part of our Uttarakhand Ballad Tradition. Following the tradition is the duty of an Artist.
It is politicians who are totally different species. Can anybody say that politics is not a popular subject in Uttarkhand.
