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

Although

it is sometimes thought that taxpayers' money ought to be spent on major issues of the country rather than artistic activities as it is a waste of precious resources. In my opinion, I believe that the

government

must support rising artists to bring more finance to the country and for a better future for growing

children

.

Arts

, without a doubt, improve the functioning of the brain as some studies have shown that

children

who study

arts

of any kind develop both left and right hemispheres of the brain which are mostly used in critical thinking and better decision making. To illustrate, school-going

children

must have any

arts

subject in their curriculum so that they can do much better in the future.

Moreover

, intelligent students will tackle bigger societal issues,

therefore

, the

government

must spend on the

arts

. Another point to consider is that Indian art is well-known globally. Our country is one of the bigger players in the global market in terms of hand-made

arts

and crafts which creates a positive inflow of money into India.

For instance

, the current

government

is promoting Indian cultural handicrafts, clothes and other artists by giving them subsidies and tax benefits.

Furthermore

, the Bollywood industry in India does a great amount of business as

this

kind of art is quite famous worldwide.

Hence

,

arts

create a huge financial impact on the Indian economy.

Finally

, the majority of the population have businesses around artistic activities and these are the only source of income for these families which is providing basic needs like food, shelter and basic education for their

children

.

Additionally

, poverty is reducing at a faster rate

due to

the above reasons so it's obvious that spend more and more to help these people. In conclusion, despite people having different opinions. In my view, I thought that the

government

must focus on small-scale artists by giving them subsidies and tax rebates, which, in the end, helps our economy.
