Okay Okay I am sorry. I just do not know how these manly or non manly became a part of our society. Krishnadevaraya was an accomplished poet and a veena player does that make him less manly. Samudragupta and his son Chandragupta Vikramaditya both were master of veena and classical dance form!! Rajendra Chola I read somewhere was a master of classical dance form and even the great Chattrapati Shivaji was himself a poet . This also I read somewhere. Does knowing to play Veena , writing poetry or mastering classical dance make them any less manly. No. I just don't get the idea of this what man and this is what woman can do.
