There are still many similarities between traditional dances of India & traditional Rromani dances. 
If anyone’s interested, I’ve linked videos. 
(Tumblr is deciding not to work & isn’t letting me insert links, so I had to copy & paste the links. Sorry!)

Indian Gang Rape Protests

New Delhi & Kolkata

December 27, 2012

Can’t help but feel like if this was an American protest it would have way more notes.

i’m tearing up.

I can count the times I’ve seen posts related to this on my dash on one hand.

If this was Britain or America I’m sure all the so called sj warriors would be shoving it down each other’s throats, and that makes me really upset.

These rape protesters in India might be our new favorite people. They’re reacting to widespread comments about skirts being the cause of rape, seriously.

Let’s get something straight, the only thing responsible for rape is a rapist, if you’re blaming a woman’s clothes for her rape you’re clueless.

I also love that the one sign I can read says “Don’t skirt the issue”.

The rape protesters in India in general are fast becoming my favorite people.

Wishing all those celebrate it, a Happy Diwali. The Festival of Lights celebrates the triumph of good over evil, of Light over Darkness and so may the year ahead be flooded with light for you.

Aw man, look at Chennai all lit the fuck up. ♥ Was a happy Diwali for mine, hope it was for yours.

In honor of India’s Independence Day - August 15th

Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The “Ashoka Chakra” in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change. -Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

1. Gorgeous.

2. I literally just now realized that Independence Day and Republic Day are two different things. We’re usually in India in January so I knew the latter was a thing, but apparently my husband dislikes Independence Day for long and convoluted reasons (that make perfect sense, but yes).

Still, happy Independence Day, India.
