The future of Indian classical dance is bright - Governor
Mumbai: The new generation has a special passion for dance. The whole world is focused on India's cultural heritage of yoga, music and art. At such a time, if dance is promoted and researched, the future of all Indian classical dances will be very bright, said Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
The inaugural 2-day International Kathak Conference, jointly organized by Sri Sri Center for Advanced Research in Kathak, Sri Sri Vidyapeeth, Natwari Kathak Dance Academy at Cuttack and Indore in association with Sangeet Natak Academy, was inaugurated today in the presence of the Governor.
Madhya Pradesh Minister for Culture, Tourism and Spirituality Usha Thakur, Kathak Guru Mahamahopadhyay Dr. Puru Dadhich, Sri Sri Vidyapeeth President Rajita Kulkarni, Vice Chancellor Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh, Ratikant Mohapatra, Vidya Kolhatkar, Dr. Manjiri Dev as well as researchers in the Kathak field attended the conference.
Governor Koshyari said that Indian art and culture is the best. But during the two hundred years of foreign rule, our culture was overshadowed by the sublimation of Western culture. Today, the world's attention is on India's immense cultural heritage in the fields of music, drama, art, sports, culture and yoga. As research on these topics progresses, new gems will emerge. The Governor expressed the belief that the Kathak Conference under the guidance of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar would revive Kathak, Bharatanatyam and all other classical dance forms.
