Sr. AnupriyaArt and Cultural expressions in India have brought about a convergence not among its peoples, but also with the Divine.
Art and Culture involve the arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, that create a sense of beauty in every human being.
Music and dance in India are among the oldest forms of classical arts with traditions of their own. The uniqueness of Indian classical dances is that they are all devotional in content, using dance effectively as a medium of communication to express moods and emotions. Likewise Indian art too is known to reflect human devotion and life itself. India's great cultures - influenced by beliefs, faith, practices, customs, art, intelligence, language, food habits, economy, etc., - though diverse in nature, unites people and yet helps people retain their identity.
However, in recent times, with media bringing home the diverse cultures of the world, much of Indian art forms as well as its culture seem to have been influenced. The fear of many Indians is that this exposure will eventually destroy our culture.

ReplyDeleteA good article which is very simple and palatable written by a fitting person who is in it.I personally feel that any art which fails to adopt itself according to the times will slowly die.so the Challenge for people like us who are in the field is to keep the virginity of the art in tact and go for the adoptation which will enhance and beutify the Art than to distroy it.
