The New Era April 1929

1929

THE presentation of financial statements year after year by the Finance Member of the Government of India generally excites the interest of the politicians and the industrialists but rarely that of the agriculturist. [...] Such was the state of the Parsis at the time of the advent of the British. [...] They sang the Valli song in praise of the hill belonging to the hero for the purpose of securing the favour of the god residing in the hill. [...] The sound of the ceaseless rice-pounders and the sound of the Kuravai dance danced by fierce heroes who wore Tumbai flowers made of gold and stuck in their ears rolls of palmyra leaf resembled the roar of the sea." The Kuravai dance was also performed to express the quiet satisfaction of peaceful home life. [...] When he poured the first monsoon rains of the year and the freshes came rolling in the bed of the river the flood-festival was celebrated.
