Assam Government Aims To Create World Record For Bagurumba Dance
Attending an event in Udalguri, CM Sarma said, “After Bihu, we are planning to mark Bagurumba into the list of world records. The movements that happened earlier in Assam such as ‘Everyone please come out’, ‘inquilab zindabad,’ etc. have now been replaced with ‘movement of education’, ‘movement of sports’, ‘movement of planting saplings’ and a ‘movement to develop Assam into a well to do state.”
Taking to X platform, the CM posted, “Just like the Bihu, we are aiming at creating a world record for Bagurumba Dance as well in the coming days. The negative Andolans of the past are over. Now, we are only focused on the Andolans to take Assam forward.”
Earlier in April, reports emerged that Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Chief Executive Member (CEM) Pramod Boro had announced plans to make Bagurumba dance a globally recognized dance form.
