Coventry student welcomes Sikh sacred music recognition

The 10-year campaign to get the devotional music recognised was led by Harjinder Lallie, the co-director of Birmingham-based Gurmat Sangeet Academy.

He said it had been a “long and tedious journey from where we started to where we’ve got to today”.

His efforts have also been recognised by the chief Sikh authority in the Punjab, The Akal Takt, which said it was a “proud achievement for the entire Sikh community”.

For the 130 students at the academy, and around the world, it is a step towards getting a formal value out of their passion from learning the sacred music.

So far, five Indian string instruments – dilruba, taus, esraj, sarangi and saranda – can be studied.
