Being an Institution of National Importance, every Indian art form deserves a space in Kalakshetra. However, ideals of chastity, class, and caste have prevented the inclusion of growing art forms.
Hari Padman, a senior dancer teacher at Kalakshetra Foundation's Rukmini Devi College of Fine Arts, was arrested by the Adyar All Women Police Station on April 3 on various sexual harassment charges.
Justice M Dhandapani said he already has in mind the name of a suitable person to be part of the Kalaksherta ICC but nevertheless asked the parties also to suggest names.
