Bengal is the heart of the nationalist movement. The British partition of Bengal in 1905 has inflamed Hindu-Muslim tensions. The jute mills of Calcutta employ thousands. The countryside is poor and getting poorer. The monsoon still decides who eats and who does not.
Held at the kgotla in Mochudi, Dithubaruba celebrates Bakgatla heritage with traditional dance, song, and the kind of gathering that reminds every Motswana what community actually means. The dikompane (traditional dance troupes) compete and the whole village watches because losing at Dithubaruba means hearing about it until next year.
