Dancers Revive , by Ruth Gruenewald Over a lunch of yogurt, fruit salad and baked beans, yester- day, lndrani and her troupe of dancers graciously entertained four Grinnell students, with con~ vcrsation ranging from the British occupation of Indra to the educational systems in America and India and to the bewildering v iety of languages and dialects being spoken in these countries herself speaksl l l lndrani five different languages and has perfect command of English.

Ramchalldran, paid tribute saying, “In- drani’s dance is beautiful because she Clings to tradition. Her devo— tion evokes the atmosphere of the temple where the art was born and grew.” The importance of tradition was brought home to us by a story that lndrani told. Some time ago, Arthur Godfrey was in India and wanted to make a film of her dancing before a famous tomb, lndrani refused request, although he though hc was a visitor of the state, because it would show an utter lack of respect to.presentl an artistic performance in front l The government of India has tative to many othei countries, including Ceylon China Egypt tincntal countries.
