10,000 artists performing together? That's mind-blowing! The scale and planning must be incredible. Hope the live broadcast has good production quality so we can all experience the magic from home.

While celebrating culture is important, I hope the substantial funds for honorariums and laser shows are justified. Could some of this budget be directed towards more pressing needs in the state, like infrastructure or healthcare? Just a thought.

As someone from the Bodo community, it fills my heart with pride to see our traditional Bagurumba dance get this recognition. It's more than a dance; it's our story. Bahagi dwng khalamnai! (Thank you very much).

Unity in diversity in action! After Bihu and Jhumoir, now Bagurumba. Assam is showing India how to celebrate every culture with equal respect. The Delhi showcase is a brilliant idea for national integration.

The logistical effort to coordinate so many performers is astounding. The certificates of proficiency are a nice touch—it gives formal recognition to skills that are often passed down informally. Great for preserving heritage.
