Assam, India: Girls dancing Bihu assume a specific pose in which the upper part of the body is bent slightly forward and hands are kept on the back. Today's images have that pose. Tomorrow Assam will celebrate Bihu. Best wishes for Bihu to all my Assamese friends.

असम, भारतः बिहू नृत्य में युवतियों की एक विषेश मुद्रा होती है जिसमें शरीर का उपरी भाग आगे की ओर झुकता है और हाथ पीछे पीठ पर रखते हैं. आज की तस्वीरों में वही मुद्रा है. कल असम में बुहू का त्योहार मनाया जायेगा. मेरे सभी असमी मित्रों को बुहू की शुभकामनाएँ.

Assam, India: Le ragazze che ballano Bihu assumano una posa specifica nella quale la parte superiore del corpo è piegata leggermente in avanti mentre le mani sono sulla schiena. Le immagini di oggi hanno questa posa. Domani, si celebrerà la festa di Bihu in tutto l'Assam. I miei auguri di Bihu a tutti i miei amici assamesi.

Guwahati, Assam, India: There was a time when I wanted to know the precise meaning of each gesture and the significance of the dance. Now I want to feel what each gesture means to me, which emotions are touched by the dance.

गुवाहाटी, असम, भारतः एक समय था जब मैं जानना चाहता था कि नृत्य की किस मुद्रा का क्या अर्थ है और नृत्य क्या कहानी कह रहा है. अब मुझे अधिक महत्वपूर्ण लगता है यह जानना कि मेरे लिए किस मुद्रा का क्या अर्थ है और नृत्य से मुझे क्या महसूस होता है.

Guwahati, Assam, India: Una volta volevo sapere i significati precisi di ogni gesto e la trama della danza. Adesso invece mi interessa sapere che cosa mi dicono i gesti, e che cosa mi fa sentire la danza.

Street theatre - Teatro di strada - सड़क का नाटक

Rehearsal of street theatre, Nampula, Mozambique - Images by Sunil Deepak

Nampula, Mozambique: Governmental and non-governmental organisations often use street theatre for creating public awareness. It was the rehearsal for a street theatre. Its objective was to provide information about a health programme. However I felt that their message about women's rights was not appropriate. The play showed that because the wife did not take proper care of her husband when he was sick, when he was cured he had the right to get married to another woman. When I saw these old pictures, I remembered my discussions with the writer and actors of this group.

नमपूला, मोज़ाम्बीकः जनचेतना के लिए विभिन्न सरकारी व गैरसरकारी संस्थाएँ सड़क के नाटकों का आयोजन करती हैं. वैसे ही एक सड़क के नाटक की रिहर्सल हो रही थी जिसका उद्देश्य था स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी जानकारी देना. लेकिन मेरे विचार में उनकी कहानी में नारी अधिकारों के बारे में जो संदेश दिया गया, वह कुछ अटपटा सा था. नाटक का कहना था कि चूँकि पत्नी ने अपने बीमार पति की ठीक से देखभाल नहीं की, जब पति ठीक हो गया तो उसका पहली पत्नी को छोड़ कर दूसरा विवाह करना ठीक था. पुरानी तस्वीरों को देखा तो इस नाटक के लेखक और अभिनेताओं से हुई बहस याद आ गयी!

Nampula, Mozambico: Le organizzazioni governative e non, spesso organizzano teatro di strada per informare il pubblico. Ero alle prove di uno di questi teatri. Il suo obbiettivo era quello di dare informazioni su un programma sanitario. Ma pensavo che il suo messaggio riguardo i diritti delle donne non era appropriato. Dicevano che se la moglie non ha preso buona cura del suo marito quando lui era ammalato, quando lui guarisce è giusto che prende la seconda moglie. Mentre guardavo le vecchie foto, mi sono ricordato delle discussioni avute con lo scrittore e gli attori di questo gruppo.

Bologna, Italy: The white paint on her face made her seem like a Japanese geisha. She was painting red flowers on her body and somehow that reminded me of the woman in Klimt's painting "The Kiss".

बोलोनिया, इटलीः जापानी गीशा की तरह उसका चेहरा सफेद रंग से पुता था. वह अपनी बाँहों पर लाल रंग के फ़ूल चित्रित कर रही थी, उसे देख कर क्लिम्ट की प्रसिद्ध कलाकृति "चुम्बन" की नायिका की छवि मन में आ रही थी.

Bologna, Italia: Il colore bianco sulla sua faccia la faceva sembrare come una geisha giapponese. Stava dipingendo fiori rossi sul suo corpo e ciò mi fece pensare alla donna del quadro di Klimt, "Il bacio".

Free women - Donne libere - स्वतंत्र लड़कियाँ

Girl with Chihuahua by Elio Weschimps, Italy - Image by Sunil Deepak
Marla by Irving Dominick, USA - Image by Sunil Deepak
Dancing Girl, London, UK - Image by Sunil Deepak

There is pressure to conform in all societies. If you are a girl, the pressure is even more. Family and society put pressure on you to hide your natural self and to appear like the dominant role of women in your society. Today with education & economic liberty, it may have become a little easier for girls to be as they wish to be and resist the social pressure. Today's images are about art trying to express a similar feeling - "Girl with chihuahua" by Elio Weschimps from Italy, sculpture of his grand-daughter "Marla" by American folk artist Irving Dominick and a sculpture of a dancing girl from central London in UK.

इस दुनिया में जैसे हम हैं वैसा रहना, आसान नहीं. लड़की हो तो और भी मुश्किल. परिवार, समाज सब ज़ोर डालते हैं कि अपनी प्राकृतिक वृत्ति को छुपाओ और वैसा दिखो जैसी समाज में लड़कियों की प्रचलित छवि है. शायद आज शिक्षा व आर्थिक स्वतंत्रता के सहारे से लड़कियों के लिए जैसा रहना चाहती हैं वैसा बने रहना कुछ आसान हुआ है. आज की छवियों में जो कला है उसमें कुछ यही भावना खोजने की कोशिश है  - इटली से एलिओ वसचिम्प की "चिहुवावा वाली लड़की", अमरीका से जनकलाकार इर्विन्ग डोमिनिक की अपनी पोती "मारला" की मूर्ति तथा ब्रिटेन में केन्द्रीय लँडन से एक भवन पर नाचती युवती.

In tutte le società c'è la pressione a non sembrare diversi. E' peggio per le ragazze. La famiglia e la società, entrambe ti chiedono di nascondere quello che vuoi essere e di sembrare secondo i canoni sociali dominanti della tua società. Forse è oggi, grazie all'educazione e all'indipendenza economica, è un po' più facile per le donne a vivere secondo i propri desideri. Le immagini di oggi riguardano arte che esprime qualcosa di simile - "La ragazza con il chihuahua" di Elio Weschimps da Italia, la scultura della sua nipotina "Marla" del artista popolare americano Irving Dominick e la statua della ragazza che danza dalla parte centrale di Londra in Gran Bretagna.
