Das indische Budhan Strassentheater - The Budhan Street Theatre in India von/by Christoph Burgmer
from audio archive Podcast · host Christoph Burgmer
🎓 In den outskirts von Ahmadabad, unweit des von "Babu" Mahadma Ghandi gegründeten Sabarmati-Ashrams, von wo der berühmte Salzmarsch begann, liegt der Ort Chharanagar. Dort leben die Chharas, eine ehemals nomadisch lebende Gemeinschaft. In dem muslimisch geprägten indischen Bundesstaat Gujarat herrscht Alkoholverbot. Die Chharas, die von den Briten zwangsangesiedelt und als genetisch kriminell rassistisch klassifiziert (criminal tribes act 1871) wurden, konnten nur durch das illegale Brennen und dem Verkauf von Alkohol überleben. Bis heute hat jedes zweite Haus im Hinterhof eine selbstgebastelte Anlage zum Schnapsbrennen. Um aus diesem Teufelskreis der Kriminalisierung auszubrechen gründete man das Budhan Strassentheater. Wir besuchten Chharanagar und das Bhudan Theater. /🎓 On the outskirts of Ahmedabad, not far from the Sabarmati Ashram founded by ‘Babu’ Mahatma Gandhi – the starting point of the famous Salt March – lies the village of Chharanagar. This is home to the Chharas, a community that was once nomadic. In the predominantly Muslim Indian state of Gujarat, alcohol is banned. The Chharas, who were forcibly settled by the British and classified as genetically criminal (criminal tribes act 1871) on racist grounds, were only able to survive by illegally distilling and selling alcohol. To this day, every other house has a homemade still in its back garden. To break out of this vicious circle of criminalisation, the Budhan Street Theatre was founded. We visited Chharanagar and the Budhan Theatre.
