"Nachi se banchi!" was Ram Dayal Munda's personal slogan: "Dance to survive!" The most distinguished and erudite Indian Adivasi, or aboriginal inhabitant, of modern times, a proud son of the indigenous Munda tribe that for centuries dominated large tracts of central India and put up fierce resistance to British rule, Ram Dayal Munda never forgot where he came from: tribal dance and music remained his first love, and no one who saw the way he and his tribal dance troupe took over Mumbai's World Social Forum in 2004 with their flutes and drums is likely to forget it.
