This Puja, women dhakis at pandals in Hong Kong, Nigeria
Sunday, 22 October 2023 A group of women drummers from West Bengal, known as dhakis, have been making their mark on the world stage, performing at various Durga Puja celebrations globally. They have already performed in countries like Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, Sri Lanka, and are now heading to Hong Kong and Nigeria. These women drummers, who belong to the 'Motilal Dhaki Dot Com' troupe, not only enjoy the thrill of traveling but also use the earnings to support their families.
Since Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, over 10,000 people have been arrested for protesting. Following their release, many opposition figures have difficulty finding work.
