SUMMARY:Storytellers and Nomads
DESCRIPTION:India is home to a dazzling array of storytelling traditions. From the kalamkari narrative paintings of Andhra Pradesh to the Baul singers of West Bengal\, to the kathputli string puppets of Rajasthan\, every corner of the country is home to rich oral traditions that spark the imagination and provide a container for people to tell and retell their own stories. \nAmongst these storytelling traditions is kathak\, classical dance of North India. The kathakas of ancient India were nomadic bards who traveled from village to village telling stories through dance\, music and expression. These stories drew on mythology\, history and the everyday lived experiences of people. Traditional kathak performances included direct exchange and conversation between the dancer\, musicians\, and spectators. As kathakas engaged their audiences\, they formed a living connection with the history and narratives of a people. \nIn Storytellers and Nomads\, kathak artist Rina Mehta brings this tradition to life with a retelling of Sita’s kidnapping from the great Indian epic\, the Ramayana. Mehta’s rendition of Sita invites audience members to consider why so many people return to her story over and over again\, searching for and finding new meaning.

SUMMARY:Dear Readers: India Currents Needs You!
DESCRIPTION:Dear Reader\, \nI’m Vandana Kumar\, publisher of India Currents. I know you get a lot of emails asking for your year-end contribution. There are so many worthy organizations that could use your help. But I wanted to take this opportunity to share why we’re different\, and why we need your support now more than ever. \nWe were founded in 1987 with the mission of filling the void of news about our community. Through the years\, India Currents has chronicled the growth of the Indian American community\, its triumphs\, its tragedies\, its luminaries\, and those left behind. \nWe do this every day through stories like our currently-running series on aging\, which focuses on the challenges most Indian Americans face: how to successfully care for our parents\, with little to no culturally appropriate support. \nThis is reporting you won’t find anywhere else (certainly not in the national news!) It is nuanced reporting: our writers face those very challenges themselves\, and deeply understand their complexities. \nAs a nonprofit\, we depend on the support of readers like you to keep this critical work going. That’s why I’m excited to share that we have an incredible opportunity to increase the impact of your donation through NewsMatch\, a call-to-action to support nonprofit news organizations around the country. From now through the end of the year\, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift\, all up to $1\,000 per individual.  \nFor a small\, independent organization like ours\, the NewsMatch fundraising drive will help us deliver the kind of in-depth journalism you’ve come to expect\, every day. It’s the kind of reporting that can make a real difference in our community. And it’s worthy of your support. \nWhat do you say? Will you invest in community-driven journalism? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYes\, I support India Currents!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews for people\, not for profit. Support our reader-funded newsroom. Give now. \nWith gratitude\,\nVandana Kumar \nP.S. Please help us spread the word! Do you have friends and colleagues who share your commitment to supporting journalism like ours? Forward this email to them (and thank you in advance!).

SUMMARY:Why I Moved My Mother To India
DESCRIPTION:Dear Reader\, \nCaring for a parent can be challenging when their health begins to deteriorate. It’s harder still if you cannot find help. Jaya Padmanabhan recounts her difficult decision to take her mother from her home in the Bay Area to an assisted living facility in India. \nLast week our community came out in force to throw their support behind everything from music (Spardha Learning) and the gift of sight (Sankara Eye Foundation)  to entrepreneurship (TiE) and new ideas (Indiaspora). \nThanksgiving’s coming up! Next week brings family fun and festivities back in focus\, and of course FOOD! \nWhat will your Thanksgiving table look like?  Share your stories and pictures with India Currents! \nIf you like the variety of stories that reflect who we are in the diaspora – show your support! \nFrom now through the end of the year\, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift\, all up to $1\,000 per individual.  \nA little goes a long way in our reader-funded newsroom. \nThank you & best wishes\nMeera Kymal\, Contributing Editor & the India Currents Team \n\n\n\nI Support India Currents!

SUMMARY:Jwala - The Immortal Flame
DESCRIPTION:Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose will restage Jwala- the Immortal Flame with new work on environmental justice and the fires devastating Northern California. The performance will employ the conventions of classical South Indian dance\, Bharatanatyam\, to explore global warming\, environmental justice and the Northern California fires. Trials and tribulations of survivors will also be part of the narrative. Fire is both a symbol of love\, sex and ecstasy as well as an image of knowledge\, creative inspiration and enlightenment; fire conjures up the suffering of unanticipated disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; the funeral pyre also suggests death\, liberation and purification. \nContact-abdanceco@gmail.com for more details
