The necessary improvement lies in the observation that awareness of Indian classical music in our country is minimal. People often seek rapid mastery of art forms, not fully comprehending that mastering disciplines like dance, khayal, dhrupad singing, or any art form, can take decades, if not a lifetime. This profound understanding needs broader acceptance to truly appreciate the depth of art. If this perspective evolves, it would mark a significant stride in the right direction.
