Group : Kehra Ram and Group
Joga Ram is the eldest of the group so he is like a mentor for the rest of the members. He has also worked with a few NGO’s for the upliftment of the poor and unfortunate people of the Meghwal community which is listed as a scheduled caste in the constitution of our country.
He believes that the people of his caste are special as they are the ones who perform the Jyoti (inaugural act) at any auspicious event. He sings songs, mainly bhajans about the gods of the Indian mythology. He started playing manjira at first and used to visit temples with his uncle and that is where he developed an interest in folk music. In the group, he plays harmonium and is also learning dholak.
Joga Ram has studied till 10th grade but could not pursue further education due to financial conditions. He is very much concerned with the education of his children and also wants them to learn music.
