Tradition And Dance Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Tradition and dance
Sunday,18th August 2019

If you happen to be in the tribal belt
the real fragrance of culture shall be felt
the rose shall be smelt
it is a real and original cult

the tradition is never influenced by an outside invasion
it has its own link and liaison
and there is a reason too
the tribal people are innocent persons

their rituals are very simple
and they have struggled against the civilized people
with upholding the culture and usages
since the advent of an ages

there is rhythm at each step
and goes on non-stop
for the whole night
in the dead silence of the night

they have special dialects
and language acts as an intermediary
wherever it is felt necessary
they are the real custodian of the old tradition of the country
