Tutti i colori dell’India

India - 31 marzo 2008

Sperperato in poco tempo il nostro stipendio da star, Mumbay e’ forse la citta’ piu’ cara dell’India, siamo ripartiti verso nord questa volta via treno. Purtroppo la velocita’, che si viaggi in treno o in pulman, non cambia, si aggira sempre intorno ai quaranta chilometri orari e per percorrere poche centinaia di chilometri si impiegano nottate intere.
Vi basti pensare che i treni viaggiano con le porte aperte, con i bambini con le gambe fuori a penzoloni e i corridoi con la gente costantemente pressata.
Ma e’ proprio la non velocita’ dei mezzi che salva l’India dall’avere un tasso di incidenti elevatissimo, guidano tutti come….non ho le parole per descriverlo, pazzi non rende sufficientemente l’idea, ma per fortuna, quando inevitabilmente si scontrano, vanno talmente piano che i danni solitamente sono irrisori.
Dopo la solita nottata di spostamento piu’ vari altri pulman sgangherati siamo arrivati alle grotte di Ellora e Ajanta. Una serie di templi scavati nella roccia della montagna di una bellezza veramente suggestiva. Blocchi di roccia enormi perfettamente lavorati e raffiguranti le varie divinita’. La particolarita’ di Ellora e’ proprio quella di poter visitare, a pochissima distanza l’uno dall’altro, templi buddisti, hinduisti e gianisti. Nessuno ha costruito sul tempio altrui, ognuno ha occupato il suo pezzetto di montagna…ma purtroppo, nella storia indiana, non sempre le numerosissime e diverse religioni hanno convissuto insieme pacificamente.
Ce lo spiega anche Tommaso, amico torinese, incontrato, dopo la visita alle grotte, ad Ahmedabad, capitale del Gujarat.
Tom e’ qui in India per un dottorato in storia, si occupa di studiare l’evoluzione della citta’  negli ultimi anni e la convivenza delle varie comunita’ religiose. Ahmedabad e’ tristemente nota per essere stata sede, nel 2002, di uno dei piu’ grandi scontri tra musulmani e induisti che causo’ la morte di migliaia di persone.


Ne abbiamo parlato anche con Sonia, ragazza italiana incontrata presso l’Universita’ Ghandiana, dove sta portando avanti un ambizioso progetto con l’obiettivo di fare dialogare tra di loro le dodici comunita’ religiose presenti in citta’. Ci siamo cosi’ trovati a trascorrere un pomeriggio a casa sua, in un piccolo appartamento, a chiacchierare con esponenti di diverse religioni, parsi, induisti, musulmani, gianisti…atmosfera interessante e straordinariamente pacifica.
Grazie all’ospitalita’ di Tommaso abbiamo potuto godere per qualche giorno di una casa vera e della vita di quartiere di una citta’ indiana dove di stranieri ne vedono passare ben pochi.
Pare che il padrone di casa di Tom, saputo del nostro arrivo e del nostro viaggio intorno al mondo, abbia esordito con questa frase:”Allora non dobbiamo spargere la voce con i vicini, gia’ ci sara’ abbastanza confusione tra giornali e televisioni!!”…dal suo punto di vista non potevamo che essere delle persone famose se stavamo facendo un viaggio del genere :-)
Nonostante questo, ogni persona della zona, sapeva di noi. In India non esiste il concetto di privacy, d’altronde non esistono spazi non affollati, ogni volta che uscivamo di casa c’era tutto il quartiere pronto a salutarci e a chiederci dove andavamo.
Per il bene di Tom, ma come ormai siamo abituati a fare qui in India, ci siamo presentati come una coppia sposata, altrimenti saremmo stati mal visti e ho quindi ricevuto in dono dei braccialetti di origine bengalese che portano tutte le donne sposate.
E’ stato molto interessante osservare la vita di quartiere e, anche se avevamo molti occhi puntati su di noi, abbiamo conosciuto belle persone di un’ospitalita’ eccezionale.

Il 22 marzo, per festeggiare l’inizio della primavera (veramente ci sono gia’ 40 gradi!) e il compleanno di Pablo nel migliore dei modi, abbiamo partecipato alla festa dell’Holi!
La romantica citta’ di Udaipur con i suoi palazzi sul lago e le viuzze strette e poco trafficate (sempre per gli standard indiani) ci e’ sembrata una buona location per la festa piu’ colorata dell’India, dal mattino al pomeriggio tardi, chiunque si avventuri per le strade delle citta’ viene colorato dalla testa ai piedi, macchina fotografica inclusa.
Ogni attivita’ commerciale chiude i battenti, spuntano bancarelle che vendono colori naturali e pistole ad acqua per i bambini ad ogni angolo, anche se, come abbiamo potuto constatare di persona, i secchi d’acqua sono molto piu’ gettonati.
Per non rovinare i nostri vestiti ci siamo comprati degli abiti bianchi e appena usciti dall’albergo, dopo pochi minuti, eravamo completamente ricoperti di colore, dei quadri astratti viventi, come se stessimo partecipando ad una performance d’arte di strada.
Neppure le sacre mucche vengono risparmiate nel giorno dell’Holi, e i colori rimangono su muri e animali per i giorni a venire.
Giovani, vecchi e bambini tutti partecipano e si colorano a vicenda e, ovviamente, i turisti sono tra i piu’ attaccati, solo le donne indiane non si vedono quasi mai per la strada, solo a volte, timidamente affacciate alle finestre.
Noi ci siamo divertiti a partecipare a questa specie di “carnevale” indiano, dopo un paio di docce siamo tornati bianchi come prima, ma con il ricordo indelebile di tutti i colori dell’India per un giorno sulla nostra pelle.

    it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be fascinated except it’s something
    to do with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent. At all
    times handle it up!

    Its like men and women are not involved until it’s one thing to do
    with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent. All the time

  17. Unauthorized Broadcast Causes Neurological Failures
    in Viewers

    Medical Agencies Issue
    “Do Not Observe”
    Order After Fatal Incidents

    Following last night’s appearance of an unregistered channel designated
    XR–9.
    Emergency rooms in three countries reported clusters
    of patients exhibiting identical symptoms: convulsions,
    memory compression, and catastrophic neural overload.

    The broadcast itself contained only a rotating sigil and a voice repeating:

    “This is not for you.”

    Neuroscientists have confirmed that prolonged exposure—even 15 seconds—causes the brain to
    attempt to reconcile multiple incompatible timelines simultaneously.

    Nine fatalities have been recorded.

    The Global Health Directorate issued a rare Level-0 advisory:

    “Do not seek or observe XR-series transmissions.
    Observation poses a verified mortally lethal risk.”

  18. Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long
    as I provide credit and sources back to your website?

    My blog is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would truly benefit from a lot of the information you present here.
    Please let me know if this okay with you. Appreciate it!

  19. Good blog you have got here.. It’s hard to find high-quality writing like
    yours nowadays. I truly appreciate individuals like you!

    Take care!!

  20. Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
    Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
    but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m
    thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks

  25. I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by
    him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble.
    You’re wonderful! Thanks!

  26. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.

    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here
    and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?

    Excellent work!

  27. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added
    I get several emails with the same comment.

    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Bless you!

  28. Everything posted was actually very reasonable. But, what about this?
    suppose you added a little content? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title to maybe get a person’s attention? I mean Mondovisione » Tutti
    i colori dell’India is a little boring.
    You could look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a picture or two
    to get people interested about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little bit more
    interesting.

  29. I was recommended this website through my cousin. I am now not positive whether or not
    this post is written via him as nobody else understand such
    distinctive about my trouble. You are wonderful! Thanks!
