"If you happened to watch 'America’s Got Talent' last night, you were no doubt captivated by the exuberance and stellar moves of Bollywood dance group, Ishaara.

"The group, comprised of UC Berkeley students, bolted onto the stage and boldly proclaimed to the judges that they were there to “knock your socks off.”

"Mission accomplished. Moving to the grooves of 'Jai Ho' (the song made famous by 'Slumdog Millionaire'), Ishaara rocked the house, bringing the audience to its feet and smiles to the faces of the judges.

"After a little digging on the ‘Net. we learned that Ishaara is an award-winning troupe, having won several intercollegiate competitions in recent years and bringing Bollywood glory to Cal. We wish them continued success on 'America’s Got Talent.'"
