| Balwant praises Kashmir print media | | Kashmir Bhand groups felicitate Natrang | | EARLY TIMES REPORT

He was also felicitated in a function organized by the representatives of the Bhand Theatre groups.
Speaking on the occasion Balwant Thakur said that unfortunately people are not aware about the preservation of their rich past and their ignorance is taking the toll of culture.
It is the responsibility of everyone including the Government to promote their unique traditions which are their ultimate symbols of identity. An awakened society always works for the promotion of their own culture as their top priority and feel proud in their cultural past and rich belongings.
He further said that the day is not for if this ignorance continues like this, we may not be dubbed as rootless creatures and coming generations will always be blaming us for our misdoings.
He termed Bhands as the custodians of our culture and heritage and appealed all to promote, patronize and promote them by all means. Theatre is one of the most effective medium of mass motivation and community participation and it has all the potential to bring social revolutions.
