Responses to Stop over: Amsterdam India and the World: The Performing Arts - Sunil Kothari * Jan 4, 2009 Dear Sunil bhai, Your Amsterdam conference coverage in narthaki.com, especially the details of Joep Bor's presentation of the five Devadasi dancers touring Europe in 1838-1839 were indeed amazing. I have been attending these IMS and ITC-SRA conferences held at the NCPA regularly, so I could instantly co-relate to the background you have given about the conference. This year also I shall be attending both; the Indian Musicological Society session on 9th Jan and the ITC-SRA seminar on 10th and 11th Jan at the NCPA, Mumbai. And I look forward to seeing Prof Joep Bor. It was nice to see sitar maestro Pandit Arvind Parikh in Western outfit for a change. You look your vibrant self in the photos.
