Some external links also were used like conversations and personal interviews with some experts in the area. The survey for the collection of primary data in the study is done online with the help of Google Forms. As per the topic of the study, a number of stakeholders related to modern music in the study area were considered. The survey schedule was prepared in Google Forms (a facility to create and operate online surveys) which was online between 30th September 2018 to 31st October 2018. The stakeholders like lyricists, composers, musicians, technicians, producers, promoters, singers and listeners were recruited via e-mails, WhatsApp with prior confirmation over mobile messages or phone calls.
