Who is at Fault for Regionalism in SRGMP

I think Z TV started it itself. The purpose of the show was to find best singer, then why they started counting/showing votes by region?

Did they make sure that in the end contestents are from different region to startwith?

We fell in their trap & we also starting talking that way. I think we should stop doing that way & focus on just good singer.

yes its zee, we all behaving like cults............ 😭

That's the fact, you said it so correctly. Thanks!!!

But somehow we need to make them understand how are they falling in the traps of other people so that they can understand the facts as they are the future of our country.

I knew what you meant. I wasn't reading it word by word & that's why I didn't point it out. We all should see what's the intention as that's what important.

I am reading the posts here for a while & have to say you are teenager buht your comments are like mature people. Kepp it up!!!

Abhi also has the title of "the biggest flirt!!"
Just a comment because you seem to be new to these forums. 😉

Let's not move in wrong direction. My whole point is people should not be able to move us in the direction they want, as I really don't like why we started commenting regionwise on SRGMP while we are looking for good singer.

We should have discussions like we should vote for this contestant as he did this right while singing or have this quality not because he belongs to this region. That's all I wanted to say.

this is a very good point raised....what else ...as any big budget movie is being released in bollywood...they try n attract some sort of debate or propoganda...just to gain cheap and free publicity...same is going on with the show...no big deal..all the kids...going mad for SMS>...they r playing with their mindsets and increasing their TRP....

After ARRs video on Vande Mataram, a survey asked schoolchildren who wrote Vande Mataram and they said AR Rehman...

I think that Zee started it with the listing of statistics by region and the
pushing candidates to askf or hometown votes.

But there is an underlying, perhaps permanent problem in India.
Independance was not so long ago and various states and culture resent
the feeling of being marginalized.

in the old days SRGM used to celebrate our divesity with regional and folk
soung rounds but now they have chosen to exploit it. This further
damage to an already divided India will be difficult to overcome.

I don't have time or the inclnation to get into a discussion on how India is
like Europe, blah, blah, blah... I save that speech for my white friends.
Most of you are aware of the history yet stil managed to get sucked into
this manipulation.

Vote for the best singer. Look at the judges - -did Kumar Sanu vote for
Abhijeet or Debo because he a Bengali? No. Did Alka favor a Gujrati over
a Bengali when she voted for Abhijeet over Paresh? No.

I am a Bengali and a very rpoud one at that. Jsut try insulting Bengal or
Kolkata. But I never favoted Joyeeta for example or even Raktima or Keka
per se. I only favor good singers. I think that people who cannot check
regionalism at the door should not participate in musical discussions.

I know we all bring certain prejudices to the table but in music that
should go away. It is an insult to Ma Saraswati who is not limited to
Bengal, Andhra, or the UP.

Thanks.

Let's open our eyes "Der Aayee Durust AAyee" & just vote for good singer not based on region.
