India has a rich cultural heritage. Artists across the spectrum, such as musicians, dancers, folk arts and martial arts, have flourished in our country since time immemorial. They have carried on learning, creating and teaching, motivated only by their artistry and family and community traditions. Cultural growth is key for the health of a growing nation. While our cities and towns grow, we need to preserve our cultural heritage and maintain the uniqueness that is India. Everybody needs a form of expression. Some love to dance while others to sing. Some love the instruments while others love colours. Then there are those who want to tune themselves to the Universal energy and learn martial arts or meditation. Whichever one you choose will be your unique way of expressing your thoughts, feelings and instincts. Traditional arts celebrate heritage and bring about discipline of mind and body, which ensure our ability to excel in every field and activity we choose.
