    Thank you for the education on the lineage. Contemporary folks and current generation audience / rasikas know Akram Khan - good to see the grandeur behind that incredible talent. Thanks Ashish. RIP Pawarji.

    Pranam to the memory of Guru Pratap Pawar, a true titan of dance. Khokarji’s words carry a comforting familiarity that feels like a shared, quiet understanding between old friends. There is no drooling sentiment here—just a clean, sharp truth that respects the finality of a great life fully lived."
