As a @guardian Supporter, I found this piece ignorant, distasteful and an ill-judged commission. Sad, given the paper's reporting on India has been otherwise thoughtful and not paywalled. @JaipurLitFest and book fairs attract millions who read in English and many other languages!























Congratulations Seyie and Mari for an amazing hair-raising performance at @TheNehruCentre in London. Music, culture and performing arts are bringing nations and people closer. This story began in the historic city of Kohima between Wales and Nagaland at the Hornbill Festival 2024 and has blossomed into an international journey across oceans and continents. Thank You @HCI_London, @UKinIndia @BritishCouncil @inBritish @UKinKolkata @Lindy_Cameron @albarrett09 @Andrew007Uk @dcfrombc @RuthyCocks @BCouncil_Wales . Well Done @VDoraiswami, @Neiphiu_Rio, @thejameru & @TafmaNagaland.






Please join singer-songwriter Ms. Seyievinuo Chuzho from Nagaland and Welsh musician Ms. Mari Mathias for a special cultural exchange music tour this June. @HCI_London @iccr_hq @MinOfCultureGoI @VDoraiswami @sujitjoyghosh @jsnaorem @thejameru @abumetha @TafmaNagaland
