Music and dance of Rabha and Nyishi communities were the flavour of a stage tableau
The cultural traits of Assam’s Rabha and Arunachal Pradesh’s Nyishi communities added flavour to a stage tableau organised in London to celebrate the Republic Day.
Music, dance and costumes of the Rabhas and Nyishis were among the lesser-seen indigenous art forms covering the northeast and other parts of India.
The event was organised by the Sanskruti Centre in association with the Nehru Centre in London, the High Commission of India and the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan based in the city’s West Kensington.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
