This case is well illustrated when Soviet Union after having invaded Afghanistan in December 1979 and after occupying it for a decade was forced to withdraw its troops from Afghan soil by 15 February 1989 under the pretext of Geneva accords.

And this makes the situation extremely ticklish. Even an inadvertent omission of one or two names here and there will send wrong signals leading people to think that it might have been deliberate! Hence, in the dictionary segment we have avoided allotting individual entries to all composers both past and present, except six.

They are; the trinity for the very special and unmatched place they hold, Swati Thirunal for being the most popular multi-lingual composer, Purandaradasa for being the creator of Abhyasa Gana (Music lessons) and Gopalakrishna Bharati for being the trendsetter by introducing Tamizh compositions. Of course, other composers' names have been mentioned wherever it is relevant in that context.
