(The Quint had interviewed TM Krishna right after his Magsaysay win in 2016. The video has been republished from the archives in the light of the recent controversy over the singer’s concert in Delhi being cancelled.)

Rasikas love him. Carnatic music afficionados hate him. The media loves/hates him. Meet TM Krishna, the Magsaysay awardee who refuses to be stereotyped. Singer, writer, activist, contrarian.
