One faction wants to “take Carnatic music to the masses”, while the other wants to maintain its “hegemony”.  On Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest, Manisha says the PMLA Act is “scary”. “You cannot get bail in PMLA till the court is satisfied that there is prima facie no case.” This and a lot more.
