[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1491813401336","data":"A culture is an ever shifting flux of practices by a people, that represent who they are and where they come from, and considering the vast size and various cultures in our country, it seems only fair that when you're far away from home in a place where the culture is familiar yet so unfamiliar, you take matters into your own hand and represent where you come from. This is what Sumanth Borra does at Lovely Professional University. We caught up with the singer, songwriter, musician, rapper and priest Sumanth Borra for a chat. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1491814567090","data":"58eb50406c61d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1491815320506","data":"\"The idea is simple, I wanted to represent the culture I come from in the university,\" says the Third Year Electronics and Communications student at Lovely Professional University, \"It started with my own, Telugu culture, first, but slowly we expanded to representing the cultures of the other South Indian states.\"<\/p>Sumanth Borra has now become the de-facto go to guy at LPU for all issues related to South Indians. But getting to where he is now was not easy, \"I learned singing and music when I was a child, with some periods of inactivity involved due to focusing on studies, but this is the best way I know of taking my culture to those who want to be acquainted with it. Music, as such, is a tool that preserves our culture in the North, and it has given me so much\" he says.  <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1491815820131","data":"58eb5053574f3"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1491815817742","data":"Sumanth's musical career began as a child, \"There were Balostavs<\/i> held when I was a child, these were state level competitions, and I finished in the top 10. Later on, in college, I participated in Intra College competitions in which I've been finishing in the top 3 ever since\" he says. For some context, Lovely Professional University has well over 20000 students and has a number of branches. On top of this, Sumanth's performances are almost always in Telugu. <\/p>\"I've found that people don't really connect to class songs, so I focus on writing and singing mass songs, you know songs that connect with the masses,\" he explains, \"and people love it, and it's quite amazing to see it happen.\"<\/p>Sumanth finished 20 performances in his first year alone, and as of today, he's done 85 performances, the latest one happening in the final week of March, two weeks ago. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1491816170222","data":"58eb503c6f7b2"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1491816172303","data":"Sumanth spoke empathetically about fellow students from South India coming all the way to the North at LPU, studying so far away from their homes, talking about their inspirations and motivations, \"My goal is to make sure nobody has to struggle as much as I did to gain a foothold. I believe in creating my own opportunities instead of waiting for one, and I want people around me to do the same. As for me, my motivations were pretty simple in the beginning, my college gives attendance for events, but later it became something bigger than me, a movement, a place for us to identify with, and that puts a responsibility on us. Thus, we carry on, for the art of music and for the students so far away from their homes\" he concludes with a smile. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1491817396689","data":"58eb53fa3cd4c"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1491817410633","data":"58eb5408c7a8c"}]
