History has shown us, time and again, how casual mockery, masked as "creativity," often leads to lasting consequences - for both individuals and communities. In the world of classical dance - Bharatanatyam in particular - we are witnessing a worrying trend: mocking our traditions, our Gods, our perspectives, and our very essence. This is not a new phenomenon. A slew of artistes, under the guise of being revolutionary, rebellious, or asserting creative freedom, personalize such approaches to gain quick fame and applause.

Very well said Ramaa. In fact it pained me so much to even watch the teaser on SM. I can imagine how you would've felt. As you rightly said it's always our sentiments that are being targeted. Not any other community.. why????

ReplyDeleteSorry I am unaware of such comedy happening in the field. An indisciplined Freedom is like wild fire. While I request all to discourage such happenings. like to quote "a disciplined candle light will illumine the space around, but a wildfire would destroy the space around"
