While promoting culture is good, I hope the focus is equally on the artists' comfort and logistics. 10,000 people is a massive number. The arrangements must be top-notch so the performance itself isn't hampered. The world will be watching!

Amazing! Assam's cultural wealth is incredible. From Bihu to Jhumoir and now Bagurumba. Each region of India has such unique traditions. This is real "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat". Can't wait to see the pictures and videos!

Respectfully, I hope this isn't just a one-day spectacle for political optics. The real promotion of folk arts requires sustained support—funding for artist livelihoods, inclusion in school curricula, and year-round cultural festivals. Let's hope this event leads to that.

My grandmother was from Assam and used to hum Bodo songs. This news brings back so many memories. Jai Bodo culture! Jai Assam! The entire North-East is a treasure trove of heritage. So proud today.
