Cross-cultural communication can be enhanced by thoughtful social interactions. Management and Science University (MSU) through its Student and Career Development (SCD) Department and Indian Cultural Association (ICA) held the MSU Deepavali 2019 celebration in November.

 

Over a thousand students and members of staff attended the event at MSU Chancellor Hall, which was decked to the theme of Indian Golden Palace.

 

 

Performances of Indian traditional, classical, and folk dances interspersed with Indian songs and a special appearance by a popular Indian artist.

 

 

Prizes were given out for competitions held in the days leading up to the event. The five categories were Henna, Manpanai (Pottery), Indian Rampwalk, Flower (Thoranam) Tying, and Salt Dough Candle Diya competitions.

 

“At MSU, we affirm to the watchword ‘unity in diversity’,” said MSU president, Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid. “In our multicultural community, our differences and dissimilarities have become our strength. Our intercultural learning thus needs to be the best, because we would like for all our international as well as local students to feel at home. Festivals and celebrations such as Deepavali bring us together and bridge the cultural gap. Let’s enjoy the festivities in a spirit of togetherness.”
