Some of you might have heard of the stupendous achievement of a very unlikely group of people. A troupe of daily wage laborers from Berhampur in Orissa who have made it to the semi finals of a national dance competition India has got Talent beating all kinds of odds.

There is high emotion on the stage, when the group comes to perform dance on the stage. The best heart touching moment was, when they danced on the tune Sare Jahan Se Achha in the semifinal. Judges ware tearful and speechless and Bharat Mata Ki Joy was echoing from the surrounding. Please find the attached Prince Dance Group photo. Please watch their performance at You tube clip1, Clip 2, Clip 3, Article 1, Article 2, Article 3, Link 1, Link 2

About Prince Dance Group : This group was formed by a 26 years old guy Krishna with the help of the other from Gopalpur, Berhampur, Orissa. Most of the members are from the weaker part of the society and two among them namely Padmanabha Sahu and Telu Tarani are physically challenged. Prince Dance Group was formed when a group of daily wage laborers coolies, inspired by a dance show, came together to try to make a bid for the first place this year on Indians got Talent on Colors channel. When they made it to the Semi Finals last week, tears could be streaking down the faces of the judges Shekhar Kapur and Kiran Kher. The whole nation gave them a standing ovation. The finals are on the 22nd and the vote is going to be decided by 50% of the marks coming from the judges and the rest from audience SMSing in their votes.

Requesting you to make a difference to not only our State but to the aspirations of a group of people who have broken through the barriers of class to capture the imagination of a nation. Their success aside from increasing the pride of Orissa will inspire millions of fellow Indians to do the impossible.

Please sms PD to 56882. Please do this once from each of the cell phones available with your family, recommend all your friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues and mates to help these poor laborers close in to their dreams. SMS voting is open till 21st Aug, 2009 11PM

The grand finale of India s Got Talent will be held on 22nd August 2009. The finale will be live telecast on TV from 9 PM onwards. All eyes will be on the grand finale to see whether the PDG will be able to create history or not.

Let us all pray at the lotus feet of Jagatara natha Prabhu Sri Jagannatha to bless the Prince dance group win this national fame. Jaya Jagannath.
