The month of Muharram commemorates the eternal battle between truth and falsehood, good and evil, fought by a tiny band of 72 men, women and children in the harsh terrain of Karbala over 1400 years ago. Poetry and ragas, transcending boundaries of language, community and religion, accompany this tradition.
