Between 1943 and 1949, the Indian working-class were ridiculed on radio

The Applesamy and Naidoo show was an explicit and reprehensible demonstration of white perceptions of Indian culture.

The show wasn’t representative of the normal English spoken by the Indian people but rather the hawker, fisherman or market gardener, who did not have great command of the English language. Singh was followed by SR Naidoo, who was unpopular for his poor pronunciation of English words.However, being Western-educated; having no experience in, and not even a great love for Indian music; no Indian language facility; and no empathy for popular Indian music, there were few defenders of Lazarus.

Then came Ruthnam Pillay who had a long spell as announcer. In between, he did office work, running errands, taking messages, answering calls, dealing with the public, arranging programmes, working out schedules, and gathering records from dealers for the programme. Several orchestras such as the Balavinotha Orchestra, Lingam Orchestra, Ranjeni Orchestra, Saraswathi Shenaaz, Padma Entertainers, Golden Lily Orchestra, Karshi Orchestra, Dilkaash Showband, Star Orchestra and Neelavani Entertainers, also helped keep Indian music alive through the years.
