Music has no borders and it can transcend language barriers. Proof of this again, the dhol rhythms have brought together people from different cultures and netizens have fun.
A clip showing students from different countries vibrating to the rhythms of the dhol has gone viral. The clip from a college in Britain shows a group of students dressed in different clothes and dhol are also heard playing. They are seen holding different flags. One of the students is seen standing in the center and killing moves to the beat. As the beat invokes the vigor of the group, others join in cheering and dancing together.

It is absolutely wonderful! Learning and experiencing new things is part of life.
Every human being has something to offer, as well as every country and culture, and we should celebrate that to the fullest.
This country is a much better place for that.

Some would call this cultural appropriation. I see it as a cross-cultural appreciation that brings people together. It makes Britain bigger. Be proud, friends!
