The Indian Student Association at the campus presented a "Diwali Show" on Nov. 18 in Robeson Campus Center to mark the five-day celebration of the festival.
Diwali show consisted of fashion shows and dances that showcased the different regions of India.
One of the most popular Punjabi dances was presented by a group of students from Rutgers.
During intermission, students from the audience were asked to participate in a impromptu performance that consisted of singing, dancing and acting.
Different songs and dances from Bollywood movies were presented by freshmen and sophomores.
One elderly man said in Hindi that it was nice to see that first generation Indians are maintaining their culture and diversity in America.
Former president of ISA, Amar Shah, was one of the main hosts of the evening. Current president Bhumi Dave thanked the student audience for the support it has given over the past year in making ISA a significant contributor on campus.
Dave said approximately 300 students and guests packed the center for the show.
Dave said that ISA needs to seek support from the student government but it fails to show support at times.
Funds are not available as much as they should be in comparison with other organizations.
Dave said ISA has done much in order to promote diversity, culture, and have India represented on campus very effectively.
