Dalit Women who beat drums, Bihar

The Nari Gunjan Sargam Mahila Band is a group of 10 drummers - the first all women's band in Bihar. These women from the underprivileged Musahar community have trained for months with the support of Sudha Varghese who established Nari Gunjan, an organization that works towards the education, livelihood and rights of the Dalit and Mahadalit communities of Bihar. Their music is empowering, joyous and a steady source of livelihood for them. This film was commissioned by Oxfam India who work closely with Nari Gunjan as a partner organization
