In the development of any nation, culture plays an effective role. India, in particular is a diverse nation consisting of various ethnic groups and cultural pluralism. We can see that India’s language and literature, dance, music, architect, religion, belief system, cuisine, clothing and traditional customs varies every 100 odd kilometres. We see a confluence of several cultures within the country, which gets its influence from the period of Indus valley civilization. Indian art and culture play a significant role in the life of students. Introducing the vast ocean of art and culture in student’s life will build a sense of responsibility and confidence in them, which in turn will help in contributing to the overall development of an effective society.
There is art in nature, in animals, in people, in thoughts, in actions, in communication; and to make an effective use of it one must be introduce to self-introspection. A student does not have to become an artist to appreciate art and culture but deep down one must be taught to appreciate their own culture and pay respect to various arts either be it visual arts, performing arts, literary arts. There is a tendency in today’s youth being captivated to Bollywood dancing, hip-pop, jazz, belly dancing etc. and ignoring their own soil. By this, I do not dogmatize that we should not respect other’s culture but I meant that one must value the things, which they have rather than looking the best in others. It is like when someone has self-respect only then he/she will be able to respect others in society.
Dancing per se helps students to evaluate their own mental and physical changes. It will keep students fit and will make them more aware about their surroundings. Its like paying close attention to a small plant in an earthen pot as it grows, observing the stems grow and leaves sprout out, it gives a sense of belonging and happiness without any noise. This type of observations will help students in concentrating on their studies and would not require additional meditation class.
When we talk of culture, it covers religions, beliefs, faith, customs, values, ethics etc. When a student is aware of their culture, they will be able to relate to others culture and thus will be able to appreciate it. With proper mutual understanding, students can appreciate arts through the medium of writing, holding events, performing, photography etc. A scientist while coming up with an invention needs to be creative with his thoughts which also requires them to move out the establish thought boundaries. Every student must indulge in the practice of arts and culture, as it prepares them to face the world, be creative in their endeavours and helps them to achieve their goal. Students who are in turmoil should indulge themselves in co-curricular activities of their interest, which will help them to reinvent themselves.
