War And Peace - A Dance Ballet By Rajeshwari Sainath: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR WAR AND PEACE -...

Women may well cause all the soap opera friction, but Rajeshwari says that at least they never started wars. Asmita Resource Centre is presenting a Bharatanatyam Ballet, War and Peace, at Ravindra Bharati on 1st September, 2006 at 6:30 PM.

Through this ballet Rajeshwari, with the help of her disciples, try to show the world and its history books that most of wars fought, were not due to women. She cites as few examples, Mahabharata on Draupadi, Rama-Ravana battle in Ramayana on Sita, Battle of Chittor on Rani Padmini, etc.

Rajeshwari says that women always wanted peace rather than any war. It is the men in their vigour to exhibit their prowess and inability to compromise, who cause war.

Her ballet, alongwith a troupe of her twelve disciple dancers, has been choreographed by Rajeshwari herself and has already been performed at various countries. She received a number of accolades for this.
