Discussion Do you have any strong opinions about the factuality or implications of the material presented in this wiki article? If so, please contribute. One contributor here would like to start a thread of conversation about the possibility of the phrases/terms 'being on the dole' and/or a person or the weather 'being in the doldrums' having their origin somehow connected with the dholak. What do you think? Is there any such basis in historical evidence and/or rhetorical etymology? How would you say has Indian and/or British society inculcated these terms with subjective qualities, either negative or condescending in their implications toward Indian folkloric drummers (e.g. did the expression "to dole out" [money] have a related origin)? Has such terminology either in literature or widespread casual-usage (vernacular) conversation contributed to strong negative social stereotypes (especially in relation to folkloric musicians and dancers) that persist? Can you cite written evidence?
