Thappu is the dying art of the Up Country Thamils!!!
People are shy to identify with this vibrant art which connects them with their life cycles because its the art of the oppressed.
But few people are aware of its importance and working on it to reformulate it to connect people who are disintergrated by the electronic media culture of the Corporate World.
Kamalahasan of Nuwara Eliya is an young activist engaged himself to promote the art of Thappu.
Promotion of art of Thappu is a strrugle against oppression!
But DEFINITELY NOT Commercialization!!
