Why does Maharashtra and WB...

produce so many talented singers more than any other state in India? Any particular reason?

I think most of II2 girls are from WB/MH and so were girls in II1 and FG.

Aur hum dilli wale to maar-peet/ladai jhadge ke alawa kuchh kartein hi nahin hai.... j/k, hamare pass sonu nigam hai. 😊

Yes dear..
You r right...here everybody are behind fashion/mba and bla bla....Indian classical music is loosing its charm from Delhi..Parents are more concerned with their kids getting admitted to DCE or MDI rather than inspiring them to go to a music college...
Anyway its frustrating...............................

Its a case of genetic inheritance I think . But the fact that really sucks is that though I am a Bengali I cannot sing THAT well. 😭 😭

I am a dilli-walah but I can't do ladai-jhadga etc. BTW, I think why MH/WB produce more singers/artists is bec'se parents there encourage their children to learn arts like dancing/singing/paiting/music etc apart from studies.....

Heyy same here😆

Actually promoting music & arts in family needs a breakaway from feudal thinking & acceptance of music as a form of worshipping God, Delhi & around is dominated by materialistic thinking & samantwadi soch(feudal thinking...). Also there is family & genetic influence in music e.g. I was drawn into music because I had opportunity to see musical instruments at home.

Being a Maharashtrian myself, I can safely say we prefer education over anyhting else, and if it is to be music then it has to be classical based, nothing else.For us Saraswati in any form is worship. Hence go for the best.Be it in music, poetry, painting, any finer arts for that matter. Maybe same is the case with Bengali brothers and sisters. 😆

Yes it seems that way. Bengalis are definitely the artsy type. One thing
that you may not know is that Bengalis are really into the poetry as well.
So song lyrics are huge there. On the one hand, they love music but I
have not seen the depth and breadth of singers and music directors from
Bengal as compared to the Golden Era and even before that. Maybe with
the emergence of Pritam, Shantanu Moitra and others, there will be some
new MD's. But I don't know if Indians as a whole would like Bengali
influenced music - -not as peppy or loud as today's music. But Parineeta
was appreciated so who knows.

But I think that each region brings something different to the table. I
think that Punjabis are probably more fun and certainly have better
weddings. They also have a rich tradition of singing and have produced
some amazing singers. They also have the whole bhangra things.

Gujratis are also very good dancers and excellents artisans.

While this may be a sterotype, most South Indians in my experience are
very disciplined in school and work and arts.

Don't even think that Bengali music will not be appreciated. One of the best music is Rabindra sangeet. And as far as films are concerned ,how about Hemantda's music. very very sweet and melodious. I think his music had the best Bengali touch in Indian films, and we all love his songs. Bengali literature in one of the best,so Bengal rocks.

Gujaratis especially vanias like me are too lazy to care about music, we are all about money. 😉
