    National Tribal Dance Festival 2022: A gallimaufry of sound and colour

    One of the more epic scenes in the ahistorical drama and action-fantasy film RRR– a movie that has changed the grammar of cinema and the perception of Indian movies across the world – sees Komuram Bheem (the “Shepherd” of the Gond tribe) mocked by a snooty Britisher.
    From the northeast, there was Nagaland’s Maku Himsi dance, a terrifying battlefield spectacle performed with swords and spears, making sounds that can be heard from miles away.
    Foreign troupes performing at the National Tribal Dance Festival 2022 And, of course, a special mention for the Maldives team that appears to have imbibed the local culture from all the Bollywood Instagrammers as they brought the house down with an impromptu performance of Beedi from Omkara.
    The event also had prize monies for the winning teams.
    We have organized the National Tribal Dance Festival with the aim to preserve its cultural values and showcase its beauty on stage to everyone.”
    In its own unique way, the festival reminded us that our idea of deracinated modernity would be harmful if it eradicated our close ties to nature and our century-old traditions.
