~  The future of the society can be changed by educating youth about their rights, Fraser Scott and Sheena Chauhan shared their thoughts and journey as the youth rights advocates ~What does the phrase ‘Human Rights’ actually mean? In today’s world of disorder and intolerance, is it possible for the young generation to be the advocates of true rights? How should the youth, who are the future leaders, groom themselves so that they can turn the idealistic dream of universal peace into a reality? Fraser Scott and Sheena Chauhan, representing the organisation ‘Youth for Human Rights International’ tried to answer these delicate issues at the School of Media & Communication (SMC) masterclass at Whistling Woods International (WWI).

Fraser Scott, a writer and art director, who has worked with renowned bands such as Coldplay, Backstreet Boys etc. and Sheena Chauhan, actress, who has worked with national award winning directors and now works as the Ambassador for Human Rights for South Asia conducted an in-depth session starting from the initiation of the concept of Human Rights to how it has evolved in the course of time. An informative AV, depicting the enigmatic story of Human Rights Movements was also screened in this regard.

While interacting with the students, Fraser said, “Though the scenario is brighter in comparison with last two decades, still there is a constant need of education regarding the rights and much more can be achieved in this sector.” As Sheena has placed it correctly, institutions such as WWI are actually ‘home’ of the future leaders. The students, if guided properly in the right direction, can be the true advocates for tolerance and peace. Youth For Human Rights International is working extensively to educate people about their rights. In order to stop the violation of Human Rights, first everyone has to have a clear idea about what their rights are.

The session also included small AVs on critical issues such as different types of discriminations, biases, human trafficking, slavery and freedom of public assembly. While discussing with the students, both Fraser and Sheena clearly specified that all these issues are really pressing in nature and everyone should be well aquainted with their rights regarding all these. But at the same time, they should not misuse their rights and thus get involved with disastrous results. Sheena had put stress on the use of filmmaking as a powerful medium to educate people and thus change the society. She had cited the examples of recent Bollywood films such as PK, Secret Superstar in this regard.

The students were presented with books specifying the rights of the youth in today’s world. The session was concluded with a beautiful music video, depicting the journey of Youth For Human Rights International.

5th Veda session with Deepak Mazumdar at WHISTLING WOODS’ CULTURAL WORKSHOP

"STARS TRAINED IN CLASSICAL DANCE, LIKE VYJAYANTHIMALA, WAHEEDA REHMAN, HEMA MALINI AISHWARYA RAI, BROUGHT DIGNITY TO ACTING ON SCREEN FOR THE LONGEST TIME”, SAID GURU SHRI DEEPAK MAZUMDAR AT WHISTLING WOODS’ CULTURAL WORKSHOP



“Most dance forms originated in India, and through the centuries till date, Indian dance forms have been a wonderful medium to express human emotions such as joy and sorrow in various formats”, expressed Deepak Mazumdar, classical Indian dancer, choreographer, teacher and guru at the 5th Veda cultural hub of Whistling Woods International (WWI) to the students of cinema and creative arts. Deepak, who has innumerable celebrity disciples such as Hema Malini, Nita Mukesh Ambani to name a few, enthralled, enlightened and captivated the students through his in-depth session.


When asked about his opinion on contemporary dance forms by young dancers like Terence Lewis and Remo D'Souza, Deepak said, “Indian Classical dance, which hails from the original Natya Shastra also known as 5th Veda, has some rules and follow a typical format. Compared to the contemporary form of dancing, which allows the performers to set their own rules, which he respects, classical dance form may seem a little rigid like the other four Vedas itself. But the inherent fluidity of Indian Classical Dance overshadows everything. The principles of classical dance forms never change and stay intact forever.”

Sharing the history of 5th Veda written by sage Bharata Muni, Guru Deepak Mazumdar asserted on the spiritual importance of Indian Classical dance forms and how it allows the performer to connect to the divine himself. He even explained about each hasta mudra and bhava i.e. hand movements and facial expressions. While he demonstrated the mudras and bhava for the students in the auditorium, they instantly started to learn, while understanding the meaning of the same.

“Indian Classical dance forms help one to connect to the divine grace, internally and externally, to help one excel in any kind of performances as an actor, director or artist of any kind”, Deepak further added. The students were surprised to know that there are 33 transitory emotions in the expression of any play and if someone follows Natya Shashtra properly, he/she will be able to express these. Guruji also demonstrated nine basic emotions through his mesmerizing performance on stage.

While reminiscing, Subhash Ghai mentioned about his encounter with Pt. Birju Maharaj and said that it is Panditji’s influence that has made him respect and realise the importance of Indian Classical dance and he has always tried to portray that through his films.


Deepak Mazumdar appreciated WWI for its unique initiative through 5th Veda, which not only connects the students with various creative art forms from its original initiation to the evolution till date. He demonstrated his classic 15 minutes dance piece depicting a scene of 'Sita Haran' showing fast changing facial expressions and mudras, which thrilled, elevated, as well as enlightened the students to a different level and strengthened their respect for Indian Classical dance even more.
