TM Krishna has shaken up the world of Carnatic music and his work has sparked important conversations about privilege, inclusivity and future of arts. He has been democratizing the classical space by making it accessible to a wide range of people, including audience and performers. He has also faced many backlashes and boycotts from conservatives for this, the recent controversy being the Sangita Kalanidi nomination.

In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna explores his journey as a musician, writer, and activist, his bold anti-caste stance, and his efforts to democratize the classical arts by taking them beyond elite spaces—performing in fishing villages, churches, and even beaches.
