The Triangle in North Carolina also has had a great share of local artists and talents that have performed on different topics. I have seen a classical dance show in the dance style of Kuchipudi that has taught me about the life of Annamacharya, a 15th century saint who composed many songs to praise Lord Venkateshwara of Tirumala. In another show, I was able to travel through time and get a view of Krishna advising Arjuna.
I attended another dance show where the poem Meghadootam by Kalidasa was performed in the Triangle and the stage was transformed to the flora and fauna of India where the banished exile sends his wife who lives in the Himalayas a description on a cloud messenger of the sights that he encounters.
A stunning piece for the artistic creativity and mastery of the choreographers and artists, is a dance piece I had watched where the dancer transforms to the young child God Muruga. This artistic imagination of the choreographers showed through where the dancer becomes the young child seeing his parents as not “Mother” or not “Father” but “Ardhanareeshwara” and the confusion felt by the child was a piece that has relevance to the time period we live in as well.
To add to all the splendid shows mentioned above, I was highly impressed from a dance piece from a group from Karnataka, India who are visually blind, who changed the way I thought of dancers in general and who can dance and perform. I felt fortunate that the Hindu Bhavan in Morrisville, NC had invited the artists to perform.
Tying back to the concepts the origin story of dance/drama/theater from the Natya Shastra and its purpose in society, by watching these shows, I felt a transformational experience. The aim of the Indian classical arts is to provide the teachings of Dharma through entertainment. As the classical arts are intertwined with the philosophies and teachings of various texts, as an adult dance student, it is hard to separate the concepts of entertainment and the spiritual desire for transcendence.
The feeling of transcendence comes into play when watching various shows. Various texts say that we are all one, we are divine, and that the divine is one by different names and forms.
Watching an artistic performance within the Indian arts can be a mode for achieving the feeling of transcendence from our physical form and associations of superficial divisions, so to see the fabulous creativity of the divine within all of us and amongst us.
This article is part of a series about the journey and unique insights of an adult dance student learning classical Indian dance. An introduction to the experiences and a perspective of taking classical Indian dance as both an American and an Indian, and how this shapes her personal journey.

The nonprofit IndiaSpora has worked to organize this informative collection of essays. Veteran journalist Tarun Basu is the editor of this anthology where he edits essays written by varied folks, including Aziz Haniffa, Shashi Tharoor, Ajay Ghosh, and Laxmi Parthasarathy.
The book has 16 essays written by influential and renowned Indians and Indian Americans. The essays cover everything from politics of the past few decades to Kamala Harris and the Biden administration, entrepreneurship and building businesses to technology, medicine to hospitality, science, academia and arts and entertainment, philanthropy to social and political activism. The role of women is also emphasized while writers from varied sectors talk about their own paths to success and offer their perspectives on the community’s progress through the decades.
Influential organizations such as AAPI (American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin) and AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association) are also covered in detail. Their humble beginning, just like many Indian immigrants, has grown into two highly respected and influential organizations in America.
In the world of film and Television, an essay talks about how Indian American actors have evolved “from stereotypes to household names.” The pathbreaking works of M Night Shyamalan to Mindy Kaling, among others, are explored.
This book is part of the larger narrative of the Indian American experience and the community’s continuing progress into helping write and evolve America’s history, its forward stroll further into the 21st Century.
Shashi Tharoor is among the essayists writing broadly about the India Diaspora with a brief, historical backdrop.
Journalist Aziz Haniffa, one of the most well-known names in the South Asian communities via the newspaper India Abroad, wrote the prologue and intro.
Tarun Basu, the anthology’s editor, wrote the chapter “From Struggling Immigrants to Political Influencers: How a Community Came of Age.”
He writes about, “A fascinating and inspiring story of how an immigrant population from a developing country, with low education levels, became the most educated, highest-earning ethnic community in the world’s most advanced nation in almost a single generation.”
MR Rangaswami, Founder of Indiaspora, who is an entrepreneur, investor, and community builder, wrote the chapter, “An Accidental Capitalist: How Indian-Americans Made Their Mark in Silicon Valley.”
All the essays are instructive, concise and catalog the continuing story of Indian Americans and their lives and progress in the United States. Most Indian Americans will recognize similarities in their own family’s stories, whichever fields or endeavors they have pursued.
