Response is sharper than before because of a cumulative effect

Was Rukmini Devi a rebel? In her lifetime, she was many things and perhaps a rebel the most. As her 106th birth anniversary arrives on the invisible February 29, Athai (as she was widely known to her students and friends) had many 'avatars' - Theosophist, animal welfare activist, dancer and politician (Rajya Sabha nominee twice and candidate for President of India). Known best for her founding the magnificent Bharatanatyam institution Kalakshetra in Chennai, dance history records her many achievements.
Like Sri Aurobindo's Mahashakti, she shattered many obstacles and paved new pathways for generations of men and women to access classical dance and music. I perused old photos of her riding at the pyramids, walking the corn fields of the USA wearing saris, pants and hats with élan, conversing with European men and women with confidence and ease. This was in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, when a new India was being birthed and an entire generation was filled with the ambivalence of hope and uncertainty.
Accused today of 'sanitizing' Bharatanatyam by removing the overt eroticism in the traditional repertoire, Rukmini Devi recognized the potential of classical dance to be the symbol of India's cultural and spiritual regeneration. Schools, weaving centres, organic farming, painting, music and dance were all complementary activities in her master plan for the development of an artiste.
Marrying a foreigner many years older to her was the source of societal outrage but she did not wilt…. Anita R Ratnam, Chennai, India March 1, 2010
