Indian Idol star Amit bridges tribal, non-tribal divide
From Raju Das Assam Tribune
SHILLONG, Sept 3 – Whether ‘Indian Idol 3’ contestant Amit Paul wins or not
is irrelevant now for he has certainly succeeded in bringing the tribal and
non-tribal communities in a small but significant way, in this hills State.
Thousands today marched, chanted and danced when the Shillong lad landed here
for a day’s performance at Mawlai Madan Heh and JN Sports Complex. The State
Capital was totally thrown out of gear in a passionate outburst in support of
the city boy.
This is perhaps the second time in the State’s history that such a huge crowd
from all communities gathered for a city hero. The first time it was for
Captain Clifford Nongrum - the Kargil War martyr. At that time thousands
gathered at the city streets during Captain Nongrum’s funeral procession.
Today, thousands of people in
a
similar emotional outburst came down to the streets and thronged the venue
where Amit performed. The schools had thin attendance, the office were open
but with little or no attendance.
In one of the city suburb, Mawlai, an unprecedented number of Amit’s fan
gathered and waited for hours for their idol at the field and at building
tops. Once he reached the venue there was frenzy with teenagers and adults
alike wallowing in mud, dancing and singing songs. The venue was packed with a
30 thousand capacity crowd.
Amit for the crowd donned a traditional Khasi outfit and danced with a troupe
and performed songs, including Khasi numbers. Later he proceeded for JN Sports
Complex. The venue witnessed not less than 50 thousand crowd.
Some of Amit’s teenage fans were heard saying: “U Amit u bhabriew bha (Amit
is so handsome)”. So much so that the teenage girls broke the barricade and
made a mockery of the security arrangements. Two children were lost and found
in the confusion.
Seeing today’s response from both tribals and non-tribals coming together,
Amit had certainly justified his being named the State brand ambassador for:
“communal peace, harmony and excellence”.
