THE GENUINE GUARDIANS OF THE TRADITIONAL THEATRES ARE ANNAVIYARS.
THEIR LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO THE PERFORMING ART KOOTHTHU, AND THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITIES ARE THE ONLY RESOURCES BASE WHICH MAKE KOOTHTHU STILL IN PRACTICE AS A VIBRANT ART OF THE COMMUNITIES.
BUT SELF ESTABLISHED AGENTS AS INSTITUTIONS AND AS INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARS ESTABLISH THEM AS GUARDIANS OF THE ART AND RECEIVING FUNDS BY MANUFACTURING THAT THE PRACTICING ART AS AN EXTINCT ONE AND THEY ARE THE PEOPLE ENGAGED IN REVIVING,PRESERVING, MODERNIZING, MODIFYING ETC...
IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THEM AS AUTHORITIES OF THE ART THEY ENGAGED IN A MISSION OF CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF THE ART AND ITS ARTISTS BY MENTIONING ART AS CRUDE AND THE ARTISTS AS UNEDUCATED.
IN ORDER TO AESTHETICALLY SENSITIZE THE ART THE THE SELF ESTABLISHED "EDUCATED" AUTHORITIES TOOK AWAY THE ART FROM THE "UNEDUCATED" AND MODERNIZED AND MODIFIED AND BRANDED IT AS THE GENUINE VERSION WITH COPY RIGHTS!
THE LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL FUNDERS KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY OR PURPOSELY CHOSE THE AGENTS INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFORMING FOR GENERATIONS.
POLITICS OF THIS KIND OF SELECTIONS HAS AGENDAS WHICH UNDERMINE THE SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF LOCAL SOCIETIES.
THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL SOON.
