Dear Sangeeta, the people who are capable of appreciating Natya are rare at the end of Kali Yuga because the absolute majority (90%?) of the apparently human beings in our age are in human body for the first time, so how can you expect someone who was just a cat before to come and relish a Bharatanatyam recital without eating,drinking,talking and walking around during the best of performances?
The reason that it is it hard to convince even 1% Of Indians that it would be worth inviting a Classical performer is very simple: over the past 30 years we have seen the explosive growth in the number of "classical" dancers most of whom have never had any talent for Natya but had the financial resources, the political connections, the PR and self-promotional skills.
Thanks to such pseudo-dancers, 99% Indians now believe that classical dance is boring rubbish.
