On Jan. 28, 2022, the India Center at UCF in collaboration with the Indian Student Association (ISA) hosted a Republic Day celebration. Republic Day in India is a national holiday celebrating the day the Indian Constitution came into effect on Jan. 26, 1950. The event featured a poetry reading by Vidhu Aggarwal, Ph.D., of Rollins College and live music by India Center Affiliate Faculty member Pandit Nandkishor Muley.<\/p>\n

Pandit Muley and Ben Tiptonford began the event by playing a short raga, a melodic improvisation showcasing their talent. Aggarwal followed with readings from her poetry books, The Trouble with Humpadori<\/em> and Daughter Isotope<\/em>, and illustrated how India\u2019s culture influences her writing. A short Q&A session drew the event to a close.\u00a0 Students, faculty and staff continued to discuss music and poetry while eating, meeting new people, and celebrating together.<\/p>\n
