"mr gopinath is a real artist and i am sure there are not many who could rightfully take their stand by his side either in india or abroad. he brought to my mind glimpses of the great past when dancing was one of the most treasured arts in india and not as today, a mere device of whetting up the jaded appetite of the idle rich. his presence in our midst was a great lesson and now that dancing is again coming into vogue amongst us, his style should give us a correct lead, for in want of it, we are yet groping in the dark."
