Classical Indian instrumentalist couple Pt Abhishek Adhikari and Dr Murchana Adhikary Barthakur, who taught sitar and sarod to their students in Afghanistan, now live with concerns for their students after the takeover of the country by the Taliban and the deadly explosion at Kabul airport.

The couple had been associated with the Afghan government-run institute for instrumental music – the Afghan National Institute of Music – from 2012 to October 2019, then left the institute and returned to India.

Pt Abhishek told PTI from somewhere in northern India: “Our students are afraid to practice or listen to music because the Taliban are against music. Secretly, few of my students, living in the same neighborhood, have gathered at their homes to listen to Indian classical music kept with them. They did this after closing the door and windows and making sure no decibels came out. to their safety. visited the Kabul Institute twice a year from 2012 and from 2015 moved there until departure in 2019.

Afghan nationals are leaving. When they took over Kabul this time, the Taliban first said that they would do no harm to artists, to professionals, that they would not prevent women from practicing their profession. They would not take away personal freedom, he said.
