Displays of Culture

This weekend, I went with some residents to the Indian Students Association/Indian American Association dance performance. The students showcased many different dances from India, some traditional and many modern. The theme of the show was integrating the American and the Indian cultures together. There were two hosts of the show, an “Americanized� girl from India and another Indian girl in traditional Indian clothes and an Indian accent. They slowly influenced each other throughout the show and by the end they had completely switched roles. I knew many students there from past organizations and such, who I knew were from India but I never knew their talents and how richly they celebrated their culture. The dancing was phenomenal. The Indian student population is very rich at Ohio State, as it is at many American colleges. It’s an easy thing to miss on an everyday basis, but it is much too beautiful not to be a cherished part of the University.
