Jilingoni 2: Distortion of Bihu at fashion show


This is the second episode of my video blog, Jilingoni. Jilingoni is a series of video blogs, where I will discuss a series of issues ranging from politics, society, economics and other pertinent issues that affect us on a daily basis. Today's blog is a critique of the distortion of Bihu dance during a fashion show in Guwahati recently. The concept of fusion should be to synthesize different elements into a harmonious entity, not distorting a beautiful dance form so close to a people's hearts and their idea of identity. Happy viewing!

Jilingoni 1: Assam Sahitya Sabha and Vandalism

Do you support the act of vandalism by Paramananda Rajbongshi and other office bearers of Axom Sahitya Sabha in defacing English-language hoardings and billboards on the roads of Guwahati? I do not.

Starting today, I am starting a video blog called Jilingoni, and have picked up this issue as the topic for the first episode. Happy viewing!
