Talk:Gita Sarabhai

nice work
Beware neutrality - there are some peacock phrases. For instance "major world tour" ... can you do a minor world tour? Why not "World tour". I have boldly made some changes. Hope you think they are OK as I'm trying to fix this for DYK. Victuallers (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Victuallers, thanks for your comments and edits. They are good enough, keeping in mind the purpose of DYK. I think the statements that you mentioned in the comments are actually lost in translation since the page creator has mainly used French language page as reference. As they're comparatively new to Wiki editing, it may have gone amiss. Nonetheless, for the last citation check out the Sonatas and Interludes page for Cage's inspiration from Indian philosophy. Hope that'll sort that out. DesiBoy101 (talk) 18:47, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm finding different versions of the Cage quote such as “You’re crazy. What do you want to go to the Juilliard for?” So he put her in touch with John Cage. He said, “If you’ll teach me about Indian music, I’ll teach you about Western music.” So that’s how that came about." ref for this. I suggest that you cut out the quote marks and record the essence of the exchange which was that it was a barter. You say this exchange is important and we should not misrepresent it as literal quotes unless they are I think. I think this deal with Cage would make a better hook as Cage is a well known icon.

 * I was able to find and quote a specific source for this story, directly from Cage. He may have told the story at various times, but one solid version is enough to go on with. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 15:33, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
