Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere? To what extent to do you agree with this view?

There are some people who often consider that investing in

However

sector
has a major role in showcasing a nation’s tradition, culture and uniqueness of the native people or community. Visual arts and literary arts depict the talents of our poets, writers, linguists and painters. Theatrical performance by musicians, drama actors, dancers and filmmakers is recognised globally and is recommended for most respectable awards.
For instance
, in India the musician A. R. Rahman

won an Oscar award, for his work in the movie named “Slumdog millionaire”. Since the Oscar award is the most prestigious award, it was the proudest moment for every Indian when it was conferred on an Indian. I would say the
government
should take steps to discover the young talents and bring them to the limelight.
Secondly
, investing in the arts
sector
could really help in improving the revenue of tourism. The art galleries, paintings and literary work exhibitions attract many tourists thereby making the country a hotspot for global tourism.
For example
, Kurukshetra in India is a famous tourist attraction.
This
became popular among foreign tourists because of the legendary description about the war that took place there many decades ago in a famous literary epic “Mahabharath”.
Thus
, these literary and visual arts contribute majorly in tourism revenue. To summarise, I appreciate that the
government
focuses on essential public sectors for the people’s welfare. But I would say that the
government
should allocate enough funds for the arts
sector
as well to prevent it from perishing.
