The question again, is why? Why is it
that so many colleges prefer to have a
lesser known, if not completely unknown
international band headline their fest than
book a very good Indian band to headline
their festival? Are Indian bands not up to
the mark to headline these events? Or are
the international bands somehow better,
just because they're well, from overseas? Or
is it xenophilia?
