We have all witnessed the grandeur of Republic Day Parade and celebrations recently…a display of technology and development along with music, performing arts, and design, all in harmonious self-controlled movement. All this goes to build the character of a nation. Not only is a nation known through its art and culture, it is also built into a character through the cultural environment in which its people are brought up. ART AND CULTURE ARE GREAT EDUCATING AND CIVILISING FORCES. They groom us to be wholistic human beings with sensibilities and sensitivity. It is hence also a very important part of education.
