Joy of Bhangra - Gioia della Bhangra - भँगड़े का आनंद

बोलोनिया, इटलीः साँस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम के अंत में थे भारत के पँजाबी भँगड़ा नाचने वाले. तेज़ धमाकेदार संगीत, नाचनेवालों की सीटियाँ और ओहे ओहे करने का अंदाज़, उनकी रंग बिरंगी पौशाकें और उनका आंनदपूर्ण बेबाक नाचना. देखनेवालों में भी उत्साह की लहर दौड़ गयी. बैठे बैठे भी लोगों के पाँव थिरक रहे थे और होठों पर मुस्कान थी. बोलोनिया के पास है रेज्जियो एमिलिया जहाँ पँजाब से आये बहुत लोग हैं जो गाय भैंसों के पालन वाले फार्मों पर काम करते हैं. अपने वतन से दूर, उनके लिए भी संगीत और नृत्य ही माध्यम है जो अपनी संस्कृति से नाता जोड़े रखते हैं और साथ ही प्रवासियों होने के बेनामीपन से हट कर अपनी पहचान बनाने का माध्यम भी हैं.

Bologna, Italy: The bhangra dancers from Punjab were at the end of the cultural programme. Their loud pulsating music, their whistling and clapping, their colourful dresses and their joyful dancing without inhibitions, there was a wave of enthusiasm among the spectators. Even sitting people's feet were moving rhythmically and they were smiling. Not far from Bologna is Reggio Emilia, famous for its parmesan cheese, where lot of emigrants from Punjab have made home and they work at cow-buffalo rearing farms. Far away from home, for them music and dance are a medium to maintain links with their own culture and at the same time, this gives them an opportunity to come out with their own separate identity among the multitude of faceless emigrants.

Bologna, Italia: I danzatori di Bhangra dal Pungiab in India erano alla fine del programma culturale. La loro forte musica, i loro fischi e applausi, i loro vestiti colorati e la loro danza piena di gioia e senza inibizioni, si è sparsa un'onda di gioia tra gli spettatori. Anche seduti i piedi hanno iniziato a muoversi e tutti sorridevano. Non lontanto da Bologna, c'è Reggio Emilia dove molti emigrati del Pungiab si sono stabiliti e lavorano nelle fattorie dove hanno mucche e buffali. Lontani da casa, per loro musica e danza sono i mezzi per mantenere i legami con la propria cultura. Allo stesso momento, la musica e la danza li danno la possibilità di uscire dall'anonimato di essere un emigrato e definire la propria identità.
