It has been a healthy tradition at JB College,apart from the other places in and around Jorhat to organise religious theatre of Srimanta Sankardeva's writings. This article published in AssamTribune on 7th Sept on ocassion of the birthday of Srimanta Sankardeva highlights the origins and nature of the 'Bhaona' and the bhagavata theatre tradition that continues across the villages of Assam. I strongly recommend to all students to read this article,to know more about the history behind this tradition. The writer is a renowned writer and has authored numerous books on theatre culture across Inida.(some of his international books find mention here http://www.mlbd.com/AuthorDecription.aspx?id=4165)
