The Sound of Silence: A Musician's Tragic Fall The news from Delhi is a stark reminder that even in a city where music is a vital part of the cultural fabric, its most ardent devotees are not always safe.
Chongtham Vikram Singh, a gifted Manipuri guitarist who spent two decades turning music into his language, was beaten to death outside his home on Sunday night by eight people allegedly intoxicated and creating a disturbance.
Singh's story is one of promise and dedication. He honed his craft in Manipur before moving to Delhi nearly 20 years ago to pursue his passion for music.
