English: Set up as a musical with no interviews, 'Taana Baana: The warp and weft of India' weaves together the metaphoric act of weaving with the musical traditions of north India to reflect on what holds the nation together. A nation of heterogeneous and contradictory realities, India houses over a billion people from diverse regions, religions, languages, and practices. The film uses the prism of poetry of the 14th century poet, Kabir, that is sung till date by a wide range of contemporary musicians from diverse genres, to look at the fabric of the nation, that is based on plurality. Weaving is as an ancient metaphor that has for long been associated with the values of love, divinity and humanity, India's modernity is deeply rooted in ancient cultures and humane values. And like the act of weaving, the constitution binds together the heterogeneous people and cultures into one modern nation that espouses values of sovereignty, justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity on the one hand while protecting and promoting diversity and plurality on the other.
