I was fortunate enough to be part of the 2NdBRICS Youth Summit 2016 held in Guwahati, Assam from 1st to 3rd july 2016 where I represented my state Assam through the display of the Folk orchestra and Folk culture.
Folk music and dance has always been one of those entities that fulfilled me. I , who belong to the North-eastern region of India have been familiar with almost all the folk dance forms of particular region. Throughout, my experience I have always been able to represent my cultural and customs in various privileged platforms, which makes me eventually proud of the ethenic diversity I have been adopted to.
The theme of the Summit was "Youth as bridge for intra- BRICS exchanges". The Summit was inaugurated by Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal in presence of Union sports Minister Jitendra Singh.
BRICS is the acronym coined for an association of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Originally the first four were grouped as "BRIC" (or "the BRICs"), before the induction of South Africa in 2010. Since 2009, the BRICS nations have met annually at formal summits. The information of last 3years which I have collected are - On 4th September 2017 China hosted from the 9th BRICS in Xiamen,and the name of the chosen theme was "BRICS: Stronger partnership for a Brighter future", While South Africa hosted the most recent 10th BRICS Summit on 8th January ,2018. The theme for the 10th BRICS Summit is, 'BRICS in Africa: Collaboration for Inclusive Growth and shared Prosperity in the 4th Industrial Revolution. And the 11th BRICS Summit hosted by Brazil in Brasilia on 12 November and the chosen theme was BRICS.
