It’s a dominated tradition in India that male artists were given the honor and addressed as Maestros, Pandits and Ustads,while women musicians were relegated to the status of ranis, the class of paid entertainers, not the artistes.  For some strange reason, in India, a distinct feminist voice never emerged in the contemporary music. Their creative energies have been used to meet the growing market demand of the so-called love songs and devotional music. We do not have a single female artiste who would have addressed women’s struggle against oppressive patriarchal practices like dowry, female foeticide and sexual violence. It is surprising, while the entire English publishing industry is dominated by women and there are distinct feminist voices in the contemporary literature of the Indian sub-continent, music industry has almost no presence of women as producers.
