personally i would not bother with it, nor do i bother with any of his poems set to music, i think they are backward looking, but i dont think other people should feel intimidated about performing them.
an experienced performer can often assess an audience, and if the performer gave a good rendition,, i would applaud the performance. whether indian people would take offence it is hard for me to say.
