He also gave back the cash reward of Rs1 lakh – that was part of the MSS award – with an extra Rs10,000.
Ravikiran's act follows last week's Madras High Court (HC) order that restrained the music academy from presenting the prestigious MSS' 'Sangita Kalanidhi' award instituted by The Hindu to Carnatic musician T M Krishna. Ravikiran had seven months ago returned the music academy's 'Sangita Kalanidhi' title when the institute announced T M Krishna as the designate for the award this year.
Krishna's nomination had met with fervent opposition from many stalwarts and young musicians owing to his earlier acts of boycotting the December season, withdrawal from the Chennai December music concerts in various sabhas across the city and also due to his controversial writings and talks relating to Carnatic music.
