Answer to Question 1


  • Worshipping God (goddesses) in feminine form is common in Hindu India.

  • (Examples may vary.) For example, Mirabai (1504  1550), the Rajasthani and poet/composer; many leading musicians in contemporary India are women; and women are accepted into most professions (even to becoming prime ministers).



Answer to Question 2


  • In South India the majority of classical musicians have been high-caste Brahmins.

  • Devadasis, a caste of women dedicated to service in temples . . . have been among the most celebrated in music and dance traditions.

  • Members of the barbers' caste are known for playing the double-reed nagasvaram and tavil drum associated with sacred events.

  • But Ilaiyaraja, from the lowest (untouchable) Harijan community is an acknowledged master, illustrating how genius . . . can transcend caste.
