Treading sensitively, it brings out the ingrained casteism in the journey of mrdangam making till mrdangam playing. The book traces the history of not only mrdangam making but also the lives of the instrument makers which remains shrouded in oblivion. Krishna’s book Sebastian and Sons: A brief history of Mrdangam Makers was initially planned to be released at an event at the iconic Kalakshetra Foundation in Chennai. That Kalakshetra’s cancellation of singer TM Krishna’s book launch exemplified the deep-rooted caste system in our society, was the overriding viewpoint of noted personalities who gathered for the release of the book on mrdangam makers at another venue in Chennai on Sunday.
