A tribute to Indian Culture and Heritage - Classical Dance forms : calendar ...Sreenivasan Ramakrishnan
Â
Indian Dance Forms - Excellence of Mind, Body and Soul.
Indian Classical Dance is a relatively new umbrella term for various codified art forms rooted in Natya, the sacred hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory can be traced back to the Natya Shastra of Bharat Muni (400 BC).
Sangeet Natak Akademi confers classical status to eight Indian Dance styles - Bharatanatyam (Tamilnadu), Kathak (Uttar Pradesh), Kathakali and Mohiniyattam (Kerala), Kuchipudi (Andhra Pradesh), Odissi (Odisha), Manipuri (Manipur), Sattriya (Assam). Apart from these, Pung Cholom (Manipur), Koodiyattam (Kerala), Chhau (central and eastern India) have been acknowledged by the UNESCO as forms of world human heritage. I also thought of including Dandiya and Bhangra as they are two of the most popular fold dances of India.
As I travel widely and capture the fascinating spaces, including performing arts, especially Dance, I always felt the urge to pay tribute to India classical dance forms.
This calendar will be an annual tribute to the rich culture and heritage of India, through the Indian Classical Dance forms.
This includes complete notes needed for the chapter Print Culture included in CBSE Class X Curriculum.
The notes are prepared by topper of CBSE who scored A1 in Social Science and a 10 CGPA.

Hindu Family Roles & Organization
No institution in India is more important than the family.
The hierarchical structure .
Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
