The fine arts scene in Arunachal Pradesh may still be in its initial stages but that doesn’t mean that it lacks potential
The fine arts scene in Arunachal Pradesh, including capital Itanagar, is still in an embryonic stage. For a State as culturally rich, the disregard and lack of a well-pronounced arts scene is quite jarring. Amidst this stands out a small group of individuals, youths mostly, who are rekindling the forgotten allure of the arts. The Chimchoo Art Gallery, the State’s first art gallery that opened in 2018 hosted its second exhibition to rave reviews and deservingly so. ‘The Awakening’, held in the first week of July, this year, saw huge participation by people from all walks of life. The artists whose artworks were exhibited are Yumlam Tana, Joon Dulom, Gyamar Nanam, Kampi Riba, Bano Tatak, Matu Mara, Yongrang Poddum, Hibu Tamo, Ajay Bhattacharya, Punyo Chobin, Jene Hai and Mamang Dai.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
