Bhopalites enjoyed the spontaneous performance of Sindhi dance here on Wednesday at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum. The performance was held under the Gamak series of performances. A lecture was also held under the series.
The event began with the lecture on Art and Culture' by Ashok Manwani and was followed with the performance by Satya Tejwani.
Ashok Manwani said that our culture is quite rich and rich in folk traditions. Due to the partition of the country, some folk arts may not be more popular now, but the time can be felt in it. Folk dance is making its development journey with the existence of an important heritage community in the form of 'Chhej'.
It is a performing art that became very popular with Bhagat. While Bhagat is a folk saga like Pandwani of Chhattisgarh and Yaksha Anthem of Karnataka, it is an art matching the Garba dance of Gujarat. The difference is that the speed is more in the cover. The arts have been an important medium for human fun.
He further said that following the Indian Sanatan tradition, the community had to renounce the motherland when conditions were created after the country's independence.
This community, which has been re-established with its humility, efficiency and diligence after becoming financially zero, has made a significant contribution to the development of the nation. Shri Manwani also threw light on many other aspects of society.
Manwani is associated with Rangkarma, he has acted in about thirty plays and has written seven plays - Chakki Chalu Hai, Rakta Dosha, Dum Maro Dum. He has received awards for the play 'RaktDosh' from the Ministry of Human Resource Development and about twenty awards from other institutions.
Later, Satish Tejwani gave a wonderful performance on Sindhi folk songs, leaving the audience mesmerised.
