Response to three main points: 1. That there exist a divide between the two communities (the players and the rasikas as one community, the majority of which are Brahmins and those who make the instrument, the majority of which are dalits as the other community. And also the absence of respect for the makers of the instrument but that which is given to the players.
2. The conflict that the instrument which is considered divine , is made of skin of a cow, which is also considered a divine one. And how this conflict us handled by the players and rasikas
3. That the instrument is made with handling of it with hands and legs yet the final product is considered devine and kept and worshiped next to deities at home.
