He further wrote, “Traveling across the country, it is amazing to see the almost limitless variety of traditions, ideals, values, and beliefs that make Indian culture probably the most liberated and inclusive culture in the world. Indian culture is so rich and diverse and beautiful, that when people, who have not experienced much, say this is Indian culture and this not Indian culture, I just feel they have no idea! Praying for my father in law’s speedy recovery.” Me-Dam-Me-Phi is celebrated by the Tai Ahom community on January 31 every year to pay tributes to their ancestors. Apart from this, people also pay their tributes to Swargadeow Chaolung Sukapha, the founder of Ahom kingdom in Assam during the occasion.
