The year 2024 began on a culturally significant note for India. The Indian band Shakti made the country proud at the Grammy Awards 2023 with its first cultural win. Zakir Hussain won three Grammys in one night. He presently proudly holds five Grammy awards in his accolades. But what is it about India that everyone expects?
