 How can you possibly have a clear conscience and say that condom distribution for HIV campaigns is a mundane issue? I'm sure its not as entertaining or moving as spiritual themes, but its a serious and grave matter. In fact, Tamil Nadu has one of the highest HIV/AIDS risks in India. In fact the Natya Shastra says that an important element to dance is that it pertains to our present time and culture.

Of course another side to it would be that Bharatanatyam is inaccessible by the masses anyway, so it would be pointless to dance about an issue that hardly affects people who do attend dance performances.
