The video beautifully captures the vibrant and diverse culture of India. Since being shared, the clip has been viewed more than 31,000 times, with nearly 2,200 users liking it. “Even I want to learn and try these moves. Wow India has different religions and cultures,” said a user, while another commented, “Wonderful culture and the cute girl laughing stole my heart.”
This tradition of Sajolang people was also showcased by Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju. During his visit to Arunachal Pradesh in September this year, Rijiju, who is a Lok Sabha Member from the state, had met the local people in Khazalang village, and even danced with them. He was in the village to monitor the Vivekanda Kendra Vidalaya projects.
