What parallel universe is he living in where all he see's on the streets of Delhi are men, men, and more men?

Biddu, just like his "music" needs to go into permanent hibernation.

 

[Khan_patriot]

yes.. recent time things are becoming worst ...

Yeah mate, I mean a national effort needs to be launched to counter this menace....

 

[neehar]

Third rate NRI's worthless view on India.

The disgusting attitude of SOME south Asian men towards women is not a recent phenomenon, and neither is rape. It is obvious that crimes against women must be curtailed one way or another, but it certainly isn't an epedemic as some people make it out to be. The one good thing that has come out of all of this, is increased awareness, which leads to more cases being reported, and laws getting stricter across the country. Plain and simple.

Biddu just see's what he wants to see. There are too many old NRI relics like him everywhere.

the media has also started giving special attention to the issue, I think the reporting of incidents is higher not the actual incidetns

Hating and understanding questions are two different things. I think you fail to understand my point here. If i were a SLn abroad i will try to improve the situation of my country than bad mouthing. That is why is said these people are wrong.

If you like indians abroad bad mouthing india, that is not my problem you can continue like that.

I find the men here uncivilised, says Biddu - The Times of India

I find the men here uncivilised, says Biddu
Grammy-winning musician Biddu expressed shock over the state of women, and the apathy shown by men in the country, during his recent trip to Delhi

The Indian-born London-based music composer-writer-singer, Biddu, prefers staying at his quiet abode in Goa whenever he comes to India. His trips to India are frequent, but short. When we met him on his recent visit to Delhi, he said the city has changed a lot, but not for the better. "I'm very disappointed with this trip. I've been here many times, but this trip has been a jolt. The traffic has become worse and there's pollution all over," Biddu said.

Indian abroad are ashamed of being associated with India
The singer-composer said he was upset and disappointed with the government's insensitivity towards the rape cases in the country, and that people abroad will soon start addressing India as the land of rapists. "I'm not saying that rapes don't happen elsewhere in the world, but it's the level of brutality, the growing number of cases against women and the casual remarks by those in power that makes it even worse. There are Indians abroad who are now ashamed of being associated with India. I landed here and I read this news about a woman in an organisation that supposedly works for women, trying to blame the late medical student (Nirbhaya) for what happened to her. So, this trip hasn't been the most pleasant one," Biddu said. When he was in Spain recently, a gentleman asked him, during a dinner conversation, 'What's wrong with India?' and he didn't have an answer to that. "Earlier, the image of India was associated with yoga, meditation and peace. That has suddenly been shattered. People are now saying that India is not a country of Gandhian philosophies anymore, it's a place where men are running rampant, ill-treating their women. And it's really sad to hear that about the country you love," he said.

Men in India need a kick up their a**
Biddu also came down heavily on Delhi men and their attitude towards women. "I've been driving around a lot in the city, and all I see are men, men, and more men on the roads. I rarely see women. It almost feels like I'm in a theocratic state, where women are not allowed to step out. I find the men here, dare I say, uncivilised, going about their normal life, not once realising the kind of ambience they've created for women. It worries me... where is India going? Men in Delhi need a kick up their a**, because the way things are going, we are heading towards a precipitous cliff, and once we reach there, things will come crashing down," Biddu said.

When Bangalore became Bengaluru, I was like, how unsexy is that?
But not all is negative here, said the pioneer of Indi-pop. He found Delhi's audience intelligent. "The number of art shows and literature gatherings that happen in the city is quite impressive. Delhi is the capital of art and literature, while Bombay (I like to call it that, not what the city is called now) is the capital of music," Biddu said. And why is that? "Bombay, Bangalore, Calcutta - these are international names. When I heard they made Bangalore Bengaluru, I was like, how unsexy a name is that? And Kolkata, really? It's unpronounceable. People around the world know Bombay as the commercial capital of India, and Bangalore as the IT hub. And now they (the government) have changed the names. It's very silly," he said.

Indian music artistes don't get their due
Having collaborated with several international artistes and music companies across the world, Biddu said he deliberately stayed away from the desi music scene. "Everywhere else in the world, you get royalty for the music you create. For every record that is sold, every time a song is played on radio or TV, the composer is paid a fee. In India, you get a fixed amount once, and that's it. Even if the number is a massive hit, you won't get your due. Whereas in England, or the US, you can make money for the rest of your life with one hit album. Indian music is dominated by Bollywood and they don't want to change how things are currently working. Because then, they will have to shell out more money," he explained.

YoYo Honey Singh's songs are different
Biddu, whose Made In India album was a runaway success in the 90s, sounded impressed with the number of EDM concerts that are happening in the country. "A lot of international concerts are happening in the country. Considering the ever-dominant Bollywood music, it's refreshing to see the Indian audience warm up to other genres," he smiled. Has he been following Bollywood music? "I don't listen to Hindi songs. But recently, my friend asked me to listen to some songs by Yo Yo Honey Singh. It went something like Saani," he said. It's Sunny Sunny, we told him. "Yes, that song. It was catchy and different; a breath of fresh air in all the cacophony that's being belted out these days. Not like the usual attempts by Bollywood composers where the focus is more on drums. I don't know how long he can go on with his style of music, but he has definitely created a niche for himself. The beats and sounds are different. He may not be the most tuneful guys around, but his heart is in the right place. I also heard the songs of Aashiqui 2, they are melodious," Biddu said.

Awards don't matter
The singer-composer, whose song Kung Fu Fighting won the Grammy for the best-selling single in 1974, said awards don't matter to him. "We are just entertaining ourselves. We are not creating the cure for AIDS or any other fatal disease. Awards are just tokens of appreciation, and they are welcome. But nothing beyond that," he stressed.
