You'll be SHOCKED to know how this BAUL VILLAGE Works *MINDBLOWN* ft Banglanatak & Ashish
Manage episode 395903221 series 2636878
This "The Billion Dreams" episode will blow your mind away!
In a world where social interactions are increasingly confined to digital realms, Mr. Bhattacharya is silently doing something in the realm of art and traditional music that is going to change the way the world views community and music.
Today on the 17th episode of #TBD we are excited for you to meet a visionary architect of cultural preservation, Mr. Amitava Bhattacharya, the force behind a remarkable initiative shaping a global narrative, Bannabagram – Baul Ashram. Nestled in the serene embrace of East Burdwan District, Bannabagram stands as a testament to the fusion of creativity and nature, fostering an environment where artistic expression thrives through communities. A distinguished graduate from IIT Kharagpur and a Chevening Scholar on Leadership and Excellence from the London School of Economics, Mr. Bhattacharya's journey transcends conventional boundaries. A proud recipient of the ‘Times Now Amazing Indian’ Award in 2013 and the ‘TiEGER’ Award in 2014, and with a career spanning 33 years, he founded Banglanatak.com, a social enterprise dedicated to inclusive and sustainable development through culture-based approaches.
Banglanatak.com pioneers the philosophy of "Making Changes Using Culture as a Tool," working tirelessly for the rights of women, children, and indigenous communities. This unique organization has propelled 270 musicians across Rajasthan, Bihar, and Jharkhand to participate in the preservation of community culture. Engaged in performing arts and handicrafts, Banglanatak.com breathes life into traditional art forms, making them relevant to contemporary times.
Remarkably, nearly 1500 women from Bannabagram earn their livelihood through the art of 'Katha Stitch,' with 150-200 women actively involved in this enriching craft within the village. Mr. Bhattacharya's vision echoes the sentiments of Ashish Vidyarthi's father, Sri. Govind Vidyarthi, who dedicated his life to preserving performing arts. Much like Ashish's father, Mr. Bhattacharya ensures the sustainability of artists, providing a source of livelihood while safeguarding our cultural heritage.
Hats off to Mr. Bhattacharya for orchestrating the beautiful concept of Baul, breathing life into India's art forms. If you yearn for soulful Baul music, Bannabagram is the place to be.
We are blown away by how this village operates and how the community thrives, would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments below.
