New Brainwave of NaMo's Culture Minister: Grading writers and artistes across India

Ranking system: O (Outstanding), P (Promising), W (Waiting)

IN A bizarre step that it says will prevent a clique from dominating the official cultural space, the Culture Ministry has decided to rate artistes and writers across the country on the basis of which they will be sent to various events.
As a pilot project, the ministry has already graded 185 artistes into three categories — O (Outstanding), P (Promising), W (Waiting) — for representing India in festivals abroad. This grading was recently done by a high-powered committee comprising the ministry’s bureaucrats and selected artistes....

Another Bharatanatyam exponent Dimple Kaur, who was ranked W, disagreed. “I don’t know how they operate. It’s disappointing that we were given W. They should be more transparent, structured and organised so that artistes know on what basis they are given these gradings,” she said.
Officials responded by saying that if “someone has any complaint with the grade, he or she can go in for an appeal.” But few, including Kaur, know about this procedure.

Do you know that a Russian professor has translated few TAMIL TRIBUNE articles to Russian and posted it at a website? Do you know that someone in US government is accessing Tamil Tribune regularly? Do you know that some people in China read Tamil Tribune occasionally? Do you know that a briefing paper to the Sri Lankan president included excerpt from a TT article in 2008?
