Why is the government using taxpayers money supposed to look after the sons and grandsons ? And how many generations is the government supposed to look after ? Why can't the sons and grandsons play music with the times using the traditional instruments if they want to follow the arts? And if they are not good enough, shouldn't they be looking at doing something else ?
Absolutely, The next generations should fend for themselves, not being dependent on Titles awarded to their Parents/Grand Parents. This idea of "Family of Bharat Ratna awardee" should be well off stems from a misconception that,
In India, if A Person becomes an Elected Member (Even Corporator level), their next 5 generations don't need to work for livelihood. We Got independence from British but Power of Freedom was Redistributed between
1.
Political Class, 2.Their Chamchas, 3.Their Ultra rich Business Houses, 4.Their Favorite Media Houses, 5.Babus and 6.Judiciary. Common Man including the Working Class Never got freedom, its just a Regime Change for us. We need to follow all rules, pay all taxes including customs, Expect nothing in return.
Unless the family in Consideration doesn't belong to those 6 groups, please don't expect anything from Govt and fend for yourself.
BTW, the heirs of Bismillah khan were involved in Controversy by not Supporting or opposing the candidature of PM Modiji from Banaras.
So they had a option of being in group #2 above, and get all amenities, which they declined but the obvious fallout was expected and they shouldn't cry foul now & hope/wait for regime change which suits their belief system; Whom they'll support and that political class supports them back. Had they agreed and charged a Lakh per performance at a Mega Rally by CM/PM, their financial condition would've improved drastically, not to mention the recognition. They bet on wrong horse probably.
Bismillah Khan Family Refuses
Otherwise live & work like common man, pay all taxes in time and expect nothing in return from Govt.
This is the painful truth for rest of us who don't belong to these 6 groups.
