South Asia has too many colorful nations and they owned different culture from the very beginning. Folk music is like a treasure of South Asian culture. According to history, South Asian people established themselves here as a nation (Arya) before five thousand years from today and started to live with native people. So a perfect mixture of two ancient nations and their culture produced a new South Asia. This paper explores the massive changes that happened to South Asian folk music which creates several ways to correspond to their root and how they are different from each other. After many natural disasters and political changes, South Asian people faced many socio-economic conditions but there was the only way to share their feelings. They articulated their sorrows, happiness, wishes, prayers, and love with music, celebrated social and religious festivals all the way through music. As a result, bunches of folk music are being created with different lyric and tune in every corner of South Asia.

  • Bihu Festival: Dance of the Goddesses
    Vol-7 Issue-3 2021 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 BIHU FESTIVAL: DANCE OF THE GODDESSES SUWANEE GOSWAMI* & ERIC SORENG**, Ph. D. *Research Scholar Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi **Associate Professor Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi Abstract The amorous dance of the Goddesses—Kolimoti, Seuti and Malati—has given birth to the Bihu festival in Assam which has instinctively ingrained the joy of dance and music in every Assamese woman and man in every form of festivities in and beyond Bohag Bihu. The mythic origin of Bohag Bihu shows diversion from the blood sacrifice to the Goddesses to the repetition of and participation in the dance of the Goddesses. In the archaic spirituality of Assam, women dance repeating the mythic acts of the Goddesses and men partake in the joy as nature blooms and humankind prosper in the amorous state of the Goddesses. The paper presents interpretation of one of the myths of the origin of the Bihu festival. “Man is obliged to return to the actions of his Ancestor, either to confront or else repeat them; in short, never to forget them, whatever way he may choose to perform this regressus ad originem” (Eliade, 1959). Humankind has evolved as a race from the primitive to the modern state of being with numerous breakthroughs and developments in various spheres of activity since the twilight of civilization. However, even in this age of technology and materialism, the modern mentality continues to display traces of mythic traits, in spite of the mutations in religious and cultural history. To reinstate the words of Jung: “…every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche” (Jacobi, 1953, p.

Lt. Hemanga Biswas, Folk Art Scholar and Social activist The use of folk art in communicating social message is there across different media platforms. Folk art, in its different forms, sometimes, works as alternatives to the discourses of mainstream-media and society. As an art of the grassroots, it has its own place among the voices that shoot-up from the margin and periphery. Dhulia is one of such traditional art forms in Assam that has a special significance as it uses satires in different forms to resist the dominant social norms. This art form, not only challenges the tyrannical values with the help of satirical verses critiquing the dominant social structure, but also, it puts up an energetic display of different acrobatic skills which are performed by both young and old performers in a theatrical fashion. The reason why, such an art form has a greater connect with the audience belonging to all the sections of the society of all ages. Besides, the uses of local ABSTRACT dialects in their performances help in keeping such an art form alive as an alternative to the language and art of the elite and the mainstream.
