Cultural
events, local drama, story, song and music portrayals have been a very
important part of the country’s regional and national entertainment and
literature spectrums. While street dramas and plays have seen a significant
downfall over the last few years, people like Shri Amit Kumar Dixit have
successfully given sustained continuity,
stability and value to the Indian drama events and literature space. He
is the cultural organizer of the RangManch.
Born to a
business family, Amit Kumar did not really inherit art and it is only due to
sheer persistence, hard-work and authenticity that he has managed to become one
of the top most artists in India.

Dixit contributes a number of arts to Lucknow’s RangManch: he sings, writes
plays, directs them and even acts in numerous local and national story
enactments and songs. His writing, lyrics and songs are recorded in a number of

purposes of Amit Kumar Dixit as a recognized Indian artist and performer is to
keep the spirit of drama and storytelling alive. In an informal discussion on the
same, he said, “The youth is
increasingly being drawn away from dramas and local plays. Digital forms of
entertainment have a huge role to play here. One of my aims is to make
authentic literature and cultural influence in the form of local street dramas
and enactments available to the youth again.”
