@af3saana: Kathak was not created as entertainment, it was born in the temples of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). Its very name comes from “Katha”, meaning “story,” and “Kathakar”, the storyteller those who danced to narrate the divine tales of Lord Krishna, Shiva, and Devi through rhythm, mudras, and devotion. Over centuries, as invaders entered India, many temple traditions were banned or repurposed under royal courts. The sacred art of Kathak once performed barefoot before deities was transformed to suit courtly tastes, stripped of its divine intention, and placed before kings instead of God. This isn’t cultural evolution it’s distortion. Kathak is Hindu/Sanatani only. Its gestures come from Hindu scriptures, its stories from the Bhagavata Purana, and its purpose is bhakti, devotion. Anyone in the world can dance Kathak, but it will forever remain Hindu. To erase that truth is to erase the very spirit that created it. When we call it “just Indian” or remove its dharmic roots, we are abandoning the very ancestors and storytellers who kept this art alive through centuries of suppression en enabling the disrespect this sacred Hindu dance went through. Kathak is not Islamic. In Islam music and dance are forbidden along with imitating non believers. This is a Hindu dance only and a way of worship. This is not hatred against Muslims, this is persevering our beautiful Hindu dance which went through centuries of misuse and disrespect. #sanatanadharma #hinduism #hindu #kathak #dance
