Music or Nuisance?

-Dr. Abdul Ruff

Music stands for universal peace and lasting friendship. Music is good for ear and soul. But when music is allowed to be a street nuisance for whatever reasons, it becomes a societal nuisance and nation's another evil. Religious street fascists and political fanatics kill music. In India misuse of music for personal, religious, private or political end has reached a destructive juncture already, while the state agencies, duty-bound to protect people form negative effects of noise pollution perpetrated, like terrorism, by the anti-social elements, just enjoy the illegal noise d pollution taking place in every street of the society, causing serious health hazards to many who are not drunkards. The Indian regimes both at the centre in New Delhi and in provinces must wake up and try to do more on containing music nuisance and consequent noise pollution. Musicians must take note of the emerging negative impact of music on civilizing societies.  Save music from those who mishandle it. (Dr. Abdul Ruff)
