Song for an ancient land - Kabir Mohanty

A composition in four parts that forms the backbone of what is a non-fictive work on some of the recessive strains of this soil, like the inheritance of difference and Hindu Muslim relations, the place of action or karma, a backbone that not only is formed by the soil but also hopefully forms it; the shooting and editing process, often a question, a discovery, a tribute, or a celebration of that intersection of soil and self, purity of metal, made stronger by contamination and dirt.
