At TEDIndia, Mallika Sarabhai, a dancer/actor/politician, tells a  
transformative story in dance -- and argues that the arts may be the  
most powerful way to effect change, whether political, social or  
personal.

Dance to change the world

Art can pierce layers of prejudice and spark change where argument fails. In a country where a rape occurs every three minutes, only four percent of reported cases end in conviction. Stories, dance, and theater have provoked official inquiries and reached audiences from rural villages to global gatherings. When art joins forces with science, policy, and activism, it ignites empathy and challenges injustice in ways that data alone cannot.
