Krishna's Book Launch Scrapped

Chennai-based Kalakshetra, an autonomous body under the ministry of Culture, cancelled the book launch of Ramon Magsaysay Award winner T. M. Krishna.
Krishna, a reputed Carnatic music singer, was to release his latest book, Sebastian & Sons: A brief history of Mrdangam Makers, on February 2, 2020 at the Rukmini Arangam auditorium of Kalakshetra, named after its founder, freedom fighter and Bharatnatyam exponent Rukmini Arundale. The letter written by Revathi Ramachandran, the director of Kalakshetra, and addressed to Westland publishers — which has published the book — stated that a review of the book which appeared in a newspaper contained "certain statements relating to the book which touch controversial issues and certainly have a lot of political overtones. We were unaware of the controversies surrounding the subject matter of the book at the time of renting our auditorium for the book release.
Krishna took four years to research and write, traces the story of Parlandu, a Dalit Christian and a well known mrdangam-maker.
