Sunil Kothari: Dance Scholar, Wandering Gypsy, who was Animated by Faith in the Arts and Humanity
In a world which seeks to put us in silos, vying for space and vilifying for survival, Sunil Kothari was a bridge-builder between people across nations, generations and genres of art, writes dancer-activist Mallika Sarabhai.

I honestly cannot think of a time when Sunil was not part of our household and Darpana. As a child, I remember his long conversations with Amma [Mrinalini Sarabhai], often with a photographer in tow, sitting usually at her feet, leaning on her knees. As I grew into teen age, he used to irritate me, this small man, with his strange voice, who never stopped laughing and talking. His voice rang in my ears long after I left the room, escaping his questions about when I was going to take dance seriously.

Chandralekha experimented not only with form but also with content to create a unique dance idiom
Last Sunday, Chandralekha would have been 92. A sense of inadequacy grips me as I sit down to write this. As I struggle to find words, memories of the legendary dancer pour into my mind. I had the privilege of spending some time with Chandralekha in the years before her death. Since then, whenever I’ve heard or read about people who have been moved or inspired by her, I have known exactly what they mean.
