There are references of Kathak art in Mahabharata texts and Sanskrit and Prakrit references dating back to 4th century B.C. so I'm not sure if I can agree with the title of this video. None the less, it's a beautiful Uyghur art form. Beautiful and unique indeed.

In which verse of Mahabharata Kathyhak is mentioned. The oldest written copy of Mahabharata is not more than 400 years old.

[@LaCarusiella]

you can say what you like but straight legs and chakkars (spins) definitely come from this...just add mudras (hand justures),abhinaya (expressions) and ankle bells from Bharata natyam (South indian dance) and you get Kathak, which is probably a fusion of the two, the fusion between muslim and hindu culture...

[@adityendrapratapsingh4628]

I disagree my friend because this dance form came when kathak was already in existence and talking about Indian 8 forms of classical dancing they are all interconnected to each other without one preceding other, talking about Bharat natyam and kathak they existed together although bharatnatyam became a mature dance form before kathak

[@meeralover]

This is so true. I noticed so much similarity between Kathak and the Uyghur dance

[@lll2282]

They are completely different

[@immu1981]

@aranyalma999 Umm, no, Khatak is a dance that leans more towards the fight choreography and combat style. Kathak is a story telling dance. Khatak is different from Kathak in the sense that Kathak started off in the temples of north and western India and was fused with Ballet Afsaneh and Uyghur dance (but latter only for court dances). However, unlike Khatak, Kathak still has retained the original 24 single and double hand mudras and hastaks from its traditional form. There is no comparison.

@@lll2282 I study kathak and there are some similarities, like the position of the arms and hands at some moments, the tension in the fingers, the fast turns, the stomping, turning of the head in the direction of the arms, the rule that the arms mostly stay on their own sides and don't reach across the body much, no or very little bending of the legs, and several other things. But the geometrics is different, there isn't as much symmetry as in kathak, there's more bending of the body etc. And of course kathak has all the complex rules and meanings. The basis of the costume is similar to the Lucknow Gharana costumes but the accessories are completely different and the skirt isn't a full circle like in kathak, it's actually more than a circle. All in all, it's much more similar to kathak than to European, Chinese or even South Indian dances. But still, it's very different from kathak. Some of the movements are similar but it's obvious that it comes from a culture that works with music, rhythm and movement symbolism in a different way.

Mughal kathak definately is similar, particularly the dress and spins. However Indian kathak is about powerful feet movements to rhythmic drums and is probably rooted in Tantra. Please see the movie Arpan, Chetan Ananda's classic, for some real Indian kathak at around 46.30-54 minutes. This tantrik kathak looks nothing like Mughal kathak and is performed by the legendary Sitara Devi and is available on KZbin.

It is called the classical dance of India and its classical origins are traced to India also because its terminology and mudras are in common with the South Indian classical dances of India. The myths the Kathakars conveyed before it became "classical" are of Hindu origin. We may have Uyghur elements but only AFTER the Mughal influence. Jaipur gharana currently has been most faithful to pre-Mughal influence. Quoting Nahid Siddiqui and Shovana Narayan. Try arguing with them, why don't you.

It's incorrect to say that Uyghur dance is the "origin" of Kathak. Kathak existed from the 3rd & 4th century & finds mention in the transcripts. Later it took inspiration from Bhakti Movement & Krishna Radha leela was added. It was only in the 16th century during the Mughal rule, that Uyghur influenced Kathak, and gave its trademark 'Chakkars' (twirls) to it. Its true that today Kathak is differentiated from other classical dances coz of them, but the origin of Kathak is Bharat's Natyashastra

They're not eight but nine so far, & probably soon 10 or 12, it doesn't matter. Not all of them began in the courts (actually, Kathak didn't begin in the court either). Yes, Kathak is the only one with Mughal influence. That's why in not only Indian, but rather "Hindustani". Hindustan was a much wider part of the Mughal empire. The base of the Hindustani music is Persian. And that's why this video is so important! Of course the Uygurs gave a huge influence!

The Kathaks (storytelling priests) were first mentioned in the Mahabharata in 4,3 century BC. All the sculptures (Google ''Bharhut panel dancers'') around that time and after in North India show that the dancers dance with straight legs and already have similar postures with today's Kathak (Knee bent came later in India: dances tend to complexify later rather than earlier). The cultures of India and central Asia have been in contact since a very very long time so it's difficult to say who started what. They are also many cases of parallelism : similar movement can be found in different dances that have never met - we are all humans beings that get inspired in our art from our everyday life and what's around us. In the end it really doesn't matter to know who started what first!!

Well, I can do no more than smile skeptically at your "Kathak dancer" self-captioning. While it may not have been "India" it was definitely all "Hind" before as the name of the land originated from the dominant river of the area (that being Indus). Kathak originated in Taxila as a folk dance, gained its lyrical aspect in the temples and therein began the codification of the abstract. Then it did become a classical dance and with the Mughal Influence the Darbari aspect came to be.

All this i mean before islamisation. And the EGYPTIAN, ERITREAN/ETHIOPIAN cultures and thier black/brown people directly look similar to the South Indians and the wider brown Indians in terms of features, looks, and almost 90% of the ERITREAN/ETHIOPIAN music and songs, voices are almost the same as the classical INDIAN CARNATIC music and TAMIL/TELUGU/KANNADA/KERALA(SOUTH INDIAN CARNATIC)+SANSKRIT. It is 100% possible that Ancient Indians and their Emperors and people would have been the culture & custodians in these regions as well and technically ERITREAN/ETHIOPIAN and to a large degree the UAE people's(ancient UAE before islamisation in the BC's).

The Uighurs carefully preserved and over time further developed amazingly beautiful dances. Many dance elements that currently exist in dance can also be seen in wall paintings and frescoes of the ancient Buddhist cave temples “Myn Uy” (a thousand houses), located throughout Eastern Turkestan. These “reproduced” dances and dance elements were called “Kusan Ussuli”. The study of Uyghur dance is important for the development of both Uyghur dance itself and world choreography. In itself, the problem of preserving and developing Uyghur folk traditions, the originality of dance forms, dance types, genders and genres is of great scientific interest.

[@RafaelEspadine]

Although the influence is obvious, there are two factors nobody ever mentions or seem to notice: many folk dances of Asia are quite similar. One could find huge similarities between Kathak and folk Rajasthani dances as well, for instance. The second thing is: many modern Uyghur dancers are also exposed to Kathak and even Ballet, so unless we can travel in time, the lines between styles will remain blurred...

The Uyghurs definitely are an old tribe & culture, an amalgamation of IndoChinoCentralAsian people mix. Their music raga, voice and some if the instruments are seemingly influenced from partly ancient Indian cultures & partly Chinese(Mongal people) since the raga, sound and certain voices types are found in many indian tribes/cultures and on Mongal tribes/culture songs as well. In observing the Uyghur songs & music you notice it is distinct/unique & mostly different from Persian/Hindustani. Yhe Uyghurs definitely were influenced by Mongal & Indo tribes since their music and songs, voices mostly depicts natural common people songs & culture from day to day aspects of life in the tribes. The same is true of many Induan cultures/tribes whose songs, music represents common man's day to day songs & instruments(look at Rajastani, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Odiya, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Kerala, Konkani, Manipuri, Assami, Naga, Gujjar, Sindhi, Kandhari(ancient Afghan was Indian culture and still are), Kashmiri, Sanskriti (Uttranchal), Singala (Srilanka was ruled by ancient Tamils), The Persia & Arab people for some reason have varying sound/voice/raga & varying music instruments to Uyghur and Arab/ME/Persia mostly concentrated in Court couture and using for belly dancing. To be fair to Persia, they were technically brother's of Indians dye to almost similar beliefs and customers before they Islamised by Turkik & Arabs. And don't forget the present day Turkiye people are not the true representation of olded days(the current dday Turks are an amalgamation of Mongols+Greek+Latin+ Arabs). Thats why you see the Turks inherited the Uyghur/Central Asia & IndoChina variance in thier music, songs and dance and Not the Arabic/GreekoLatin. To sum it up, the Central Asia/Asian side of Eurasia + Turkiye culture, music & songs, voice & instruments are so influenced by Chinese & Indians adopting the softer melodies. To be more specific look at all these Indians Tribes/cultures and thier music i mentioned above and especially the South & Central Indians(includes Maharashtra, MadhyaPradesh, Odiya, Bengal, TAMILS, Telugu-Kannada, Kerala) they all had & still have several subcultures within. The Uyghur/Turkiye/Central Asian & Mongols + Samy/Finnic/Germanic/Celtic + Latin/Greek + Aramaic/Hebrew all have several music similarities to TAMIL & South Indian music & songs. Please remember, it is still debated about Greek kings PANDEON 1/2 etc., in BCs are of Indian/Ancient Tamils. The ancient Three Kings of Tamils could have possibly been the Patrons of Greeko/Roman/Arabic(in old days PEDRA was the most important and sacred. All all over EurAsia worshipped powerful gods & goddesses, including Ashera, the goddess depicted with 2 lions), Athena was powerful, Mari(is both rain & snake goddess) in Eurasia & Europe. The Mari raon Goddess is a main deity in all of Southern India & fir TAMILS. All over the world the Tamils have DRAVIDIAN ARCHITECTURE Temples built for MARI AMMAN(see London, Europe, US, Singapore, Malaysia, Srilanka, etc ,). So the ancient Eurasia & ME/GULF & PERSIA & CENTRAL ASIA, Russua, North Africa(especially EGYPT) technically an extension of ancient Indian cultures. If you notice the ancient Kings/Queens/etc., from Egyptian Tombs & mummy's they all surprisingly have a TAMIL/INDIAN origin names including AKHENATEN, TUTANKHAMEN, RAMESIS and 100s of them 😀

The Mughal Empire was centered in Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where this form of dance has flourished since ancient times. Its no brainier if you know Indian history these states have been home to many Indian empires that has united South Asia into one nation since Mauryan empire 300 BC. Even the famous courtesan Ambapali who donated her Mango gardens to Buddha lived there. The region is known for its courtesan culture in ancient times called Nagarvadhu.

[@pagangod_Infinité]

I like Uyghurs and their culture, dance and songs❤ No offence, but i see the video title and comments mentions Uyghur is mother of Indian dance. That's a lie and a big stretch. The same like the Greek/Roman/ME/Turkiye/Persian belief that the earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth, etc.,etc.,. In older days there were many pagad gods & goddesses worshipped in these geographies, and now the majority believe in one god. And after a 1000 years these may again change. The mother & father of all modern humans, civilizations & cultures and the mother of all languages is from IndoAfrican and so is the mither of all ancient dances and folk songs. The mother of all dances in India were from various Indian tribes, folk songs, folklores, etc , and Bharathanatyam(that came from dance and songs with body moves, facial expressions and depicting/narrating a story, poem, societal, people story, morals. The dance have suffisticated rules & songs/sounds all have suffisticated rules all came from Indians(and are several 1000s and 1000s if years old). May be the ME, TURKIYE & ARAB, CENTRAL ASIA regions have been pasturel and the Indians might have taught them, the same like technology, medicine, astronomy, astrology, cooking tasty foods, costumes, etc.,. The world's most suffisticated scriptures(it has modern science, medicine, astronomy, maths, algebra, scientific formulas, herbs/food medicine, ayurveda, adharvaveda,i.e., martial arts. Just ask the chinese, Japanese, korean and Asians on who were tge masters that taught them martial arts, it's all Indian masters). India and Indians had/have martial arts & varma skills(about entire body, veins, pulse/vital points, etc., )practised and documented for millions of years much before GREEK/ROMANS/ME/TURKIK/PERSIANS were not even born. Can can you believe the Indians were taught by the gods/goddesses and supernatural being's for the welfare of Indians who inturn helped the wider world. Again i like Uyghurs, so don't use such dumb titles and keep claiming you folks taught the Indians. Ancuent Indians were Gurus/masters to the world, just because the West, Persia/Turkik looters ransacked and looted the stuff and then call every thing is either yours or created by you(by hiding the truth). But ancient Indians had already mastered the whole world and civilized it much before the time the modern world countries(including greek, roman, ottoman, Persian, etc., existed).

No accurate "dance student" would call Kathak a "lyrical" dance "from" India. It's much more than lyrical and there was no India in those days. It appeared during the Mogul Empire, and Afghanistan was part of it. And no, it didn't started off in the temples. And no, there were no traditional mudras. I'm a Kathak dancer.

[@pagangod_Infinité]

Most of the modern world people from ME, Persia, GULF, Arab, Turkiye, Central Asia and Western Countries do not know about your origins and ancient history because every few thousand years , you keep changing/shifting your beliefs/ideology/religion/etc., and mostly get forcefully influenced by the powerful at that time, that changes ir resets your entire originality and culture and true origin, ancestry, beliefs and to a degree your languages(I assume many ancient languages and many cultures would be extinct by now). Mostly Europe, Central & Northern Asia would have been very cold with ice(not habitable), and GULF, ME & North Africa(except Nile river rich Egypt) would have been inhabitable and would have been adverse. Only in last 5k-9k years the ice glaciers melted in europe and Northern/Central Asia. It is also true until ME/Gulf/Persia was nit doing well. Onky in resent times were oil was found in the early 1900s that made the region rich. Before that, the survival in desert were hard and restricted to only certain fertile spots, so the main help was from India & China trade routes So, to sum it all up, to say that the tribal, primitive cultures like Uyghurs had taught Indians how to dance is the biggest stretch and lie in this video title. It's the Indians from ancient who kept spreading out as the snow and glaciers started melting in search of greener pastures and also copulation and intermarriage, etc ,. Please note that mostly the native modern human people in Europe or Central Asia or China or Japan, Turkiye, etc., were not necessarily white but were black/brown. It would have taken several generations(of selective breeding, closebreed, neposim, racism, ill/wicked stuff, and probably also eradicating the black/brown people) in these geographies are a possibility. So the moral of the story is that it is far-fetched to dream of an idea to cook a story that from Uyghurs came Indian dances !.

the dance has little similarity to indian classical kathak and indeed a graceful one but both the dances have different origins because kathak orignated pre mughal and pre ugyur around 400bce with engraved proves of it on walls of indian temples where as entire ugyur histroy goes back around 4 - 5 bce max...

This is uyghur dance. I have never heard about mughal dance.

[@RedDragon770]

Afghanistan was as part of Mughal empire as South India was part of Mughal Empire it does not mean they followed same culture or lifestyle that Mughals did. The Khattak you were talking about is danced by men in Afghanistan with swords and is not same as Indian kathak that is danced by women with anklets in their feet lol

[@RedDragon770]

All 8 classical dance forms of India and classical music is contribution of courtesan cultures from different parts of the country and Kathak is no different. Only difference is Kathak drew certain central asian dance influnces under Mughal empire. As mughals descended from mongol tribes from Kazakhstan and Uygurs are related to them

[@aranyalma999]

They should have used traditional turkic music for the uighur dance not wetern music!

[@jamilbrugsen1362]

The Uighurs carefully preserved and over time further developed amazingly beautiful dances. Many dance elements that currently exist in dance can also be seen in wall paintings and frescoes of the ancient Buddhist cave temples “Myn Uy” (a thousand houses), located throughout Eastern Turkestan. These “reproduced” dances and dance elements were called “Kusan Ussuli”. The study of Uyghur dance is important for the development of both Uyghur dance itself and world choreography. In itself, the problem of preserving and developing Uyghur folk traditions, the originality of dance forms, dance types, genders and genres is of great scientific interest.

[@RedDragon770]

It did not appear during Mughal Empire its much older form of dace that was based on religion since ancient times. It just became official court dance during Mughal rule. Do you seriously believe that some how randomly a new form a dance appeared out of no where in 16th century that was mostly based on love between Radha and Krishna ( hindu deities) and Naikyas ( Hindu poetry heroins) in Islamic court? lol

Kathak in mainly Indian dance form and Uygurs dont even call it kathak and its their folk dance and not classical dance. There are other folk dances in India that looks very much like Kathak like Haryanvi folk dance from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Where Kathak actually originated! 9? There are only 8 classical dance forms they are non-folk dances, If you see other folk dances of North India Kathak is no different from them.

[@pagangod_Infinité]

All of the Indian classical dances evolved from both regional tribes/ folklore /cultures + influenced/taught/adopted/adapted from Tamil & South Indian classical suffisticated dance BHARATANATIYAM This is also scriptured and believed to have been taught to the Tamils by the Primordial God & Goddess(Shiva & Parvathy) who were the father & mother of all gods/goddesses and all known and unknown universes. Just Google it folks instead of spreading cock and bull fake stories like Uyghurs have taught Indians the kathakali. Ancient Indians were masters and the rulers of the planet earth, and most modern humans of today were seeds sown by Indian ancestors. I'll give a simple example. In ancient times, the so-called sumerians/persia had one of their most ancient city or town with a name called UR. The Uyghur has the name ending with UR. The name UR is a Tamil name, and it's meaning is a place(it can be a city, town, village, or a place or denotes a person's nativity depending on the context of the situation word). Fortunately, the word UR continues in existence in Tamil and 75-85 million Tamil people know meaning of word UR. I'm not sure how many people in Uyghur, Turkiye, ME, PERSIAN, GULF & ARAB know about what is the ancient city/town UR and why it was called as UR and the meaning 😊. See, I told you the Indians were the forefathers of modern human civilization, and the Indians history timeliness goes much much beyond your comprehension and understanding and most if the rest of world wouldn't even want to listen and accept the Universal TRUTH. So please know your origins better❤

Yeah, I think you need to find out the definition of "arguement" and "discussion" before you start shooting your mouth off and stating unfounded opinions with your limited knowledge. Knowledge sharing can happen only when you have some of it. An opinion is just that. You've defeated me in the sense that I do not know how to argue with a mule. It's akin to running against a solidly constructed wall. I'm done with reasoning against ignorance.

Haha! There are not even "classical" dances anymore! To Sangeet Natak Akademi (which is the Indian authority in this matter), "classical" is a very poor umbrella term. They should be called "major art forms". Of course it'll take a while to change the jargon. They're open-minded people. They don't argue. They discuss. Discussing means that you love knowledge & love sharing it. Arguing people... well, they just love to prove they right. Cheers!
