Abstract

Acclimatisation of the Indian Folk Frolic Dances through acculturation process usually from India to various parts of the world or at times vice-versa is the antiquarian process from time immemorial.  A study of this process is quite imperative to remove the intercultural ambiguity to trace the antiquity and to familiarise the interdependency of cultures barring the geographical boundaries of physical environs of countries and as research in this context did not find space in contextual form, forms the base of this study.  The geographical boundaries of India that forms a major chunk in Asia distinctively left a lasting impact on its’ neighbouring countries especially Malaysia.  As the dance genres of India are multifarious and the dances of India too are multiple, they were encouraged and gradually imbibed into the similar cultures of distinctive cultures spread throughout the horizons of this Universe.  India also well acknowledged as “Incredible India” due to its’ distinctive emphasis on cultural diversity and Malaysia which is styled spectacularly as Truly Asia through its’ adaptive culture too share common cultural ties through a few folk dances.  This study opens up new vistas in the spheres of culture, sustainability of environment and tourism as it throws limelight on the conglomeration of cultural sharing between India and Malaysia distinctively through the folk dances shedding light on the unprobed area of research and throwing open a neo-sphere of research to the posterity.
