Sufi Singer Mudasir Ali says “Music is dying in Kashmir”

When he once sang LIVE at DD Kashir studio, Farooq Abdullah was so impressed by his singing that he got up on the stage and gifted him his wrist watch. While Imitating the voice of Nusrat fateh Ali Khan is his forte-a thing he says he is proud of the 26 year old hunk Mudasir Ali made every one proud in his hometown Srinagar when he made it to the top ten of the international musical reality show Sur Shetra. Life has been a struggle for Mudasir Ali from being an undisguised commoner on the streets of Srinagar to a television celebrity known throughout the length and breadth of India.
While talking to Jamsheed Rasool  of The Kashmir Scenario, Mudasir Ali feels that music in the state of Jammu and Kashmir  is dying a slow death and the government is oblivious to any plans of reviving it.

“Music is dying a slow death in Kashmir. Radio Kashmir and DD kashir are not serious about composing new songs. I was called to record only one song about a decade back and then forgotten, Mudasir Ali
