  • Internationalsufifestival.Pdf
    INTERNATIONAL SUFI FESTIVAL AMRITSAR OCTOBER 20TH AND 21ST, 2012 The strength of Sufism is in its offering of one's complete self: the body, the heart, the mind, the soul and the conscience. Through this complete surrender emerges the strength of unity, of power, of being, and of embracing. In this mastery and slavery is hidden the control of the entire universe because it is the outcome of love for Almighty, and all His creation; love that transverses all religions and beliefs, and is larger and more profound than any doctrine or faith. The reason behind holding an International Sufi Festival in Amritsar is that it is perhaps the only city that has been founded by the Fourth Sikh Guru; it is the seat of Sikhism which has its very roots in Sufism. The Foundation of the Golden Temple was laid by the Sufi Saint Saeen Mian Mir who was invited from Lahore. Its holy Book: The Guru Granth Sahab includes couplets and verses by great sufi saints like Baba Farid and Kabir, and the essence of this city is secular, and one of mutual co-existence and plurality. In this city, a visit to the Darbar Sahab at the Golden Temple, one can feel the reconciliation of opposites: the outer and the inner, the material and the spiritual, the finite and the infinite, the here and the hereafter, the human and the divine. Here one can understand why 'Sufi Tradition' has the capacity to bring and bind people together, generate peaceful relations among all humans, and eliminate the centuries old antagonism that one community has been holding against other, and transcends the caste distinctions.

  • KHUSHWANT SINGH (India) Khushwant Singh, Born 2 February 1915, Is a Prominent Indian Novelist and Journalist
    KHUSHWANT SINGH (India) Khushwant Singh, born 2 February 1915, is a prominent Indian novelist and journalist. Singh's weekly column, “With Malice Towards One and All”, carried by several Indian newspapers, is among the most widely- read columns in the country. An important Indo- Anglian novelist, Khushwant is best known for his trenchant secularism, his humour, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons of social and behavioral characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit. He served as editor of several well- known literary and news magazines, like Illustrated Weekly of India, major newspapers, including Hindustan Times. Reputed Journalist, fiction writer, author of 'Train to Pakistan', historian of the Sikh Community, and translator of Urdu and Punjabi literature, Khushwant is a household name. Letters with just his name, with 'India' underneath, reaches his doorsteps. Kushwant's faith in the Indian political system was shaken by events such as massacre of Sikhs that followed Indira Gandhi's assassination. But he has remained resolutely positive on the promise of Indian democracy, and worked via 'Citizen's Justice Committee' floated by H.S. Phoolka of Delhi who is a Senior Advocate Supreme Court. Honoured by several Awards and National Honours like Padma Vibhushan, 2007, Khushwant's major works include : 'The History of Sikhs', 'Train to Pakistan', 'The Fall of the Kingdom of the Punjab', 'Ranjit Singh: The Maharajah of the Punjab', 'Ghadar 1915: India's First Armed Revolution', 'Tragedy of Punjab', 'Delhi: A Novel', 'Not a Nice Man to Know: The Best of Khushwant Singh', 'Truth, Love and a Little Malice', 'The Sunset Club'.

    ICCR ARPANA CAUR REPORT LITERATURE LUCKNOW March 16, 17, 18, 19, 2012 Organised by FOUNDATION OF SAARC WRITERS AND LITERATURE SAARC APEX BODY inSAARC FESTIVAL OF collaboration with INDIAN COUNCIL FOR CULTURAL RELATIONS ARPANA CAUR SAARC FESTIVAL OF LITERATURE LUCKNOW MARCH 16, 17, 18 & 19, 2012 Intellectual, poets, academicians, fiction writers and critics from the eight SAARC countries converged to Lucknow, the renowned centre of culture, arts, music, architecture and literature of medieval India. Foundation of SAARC Writers and Literature (FOSWAL), the Apex Body of SAARC, organized a three day SAARC FESTIVAL OF LITERATURE in collaboration with Indian Council for Cultural Relations and Arpana Fine Arts on March 16, 17,18 & 19, 2012, in Lucknow. It is said that the heart of the writers beats for humanity. A writer's pen becomes dysfunctional unless it is dipped in the ink of social concerns and immediate problems facing humanity. It is with this conviction that the theme of the SAARC LITERARY FESTIVAL, 2012 was 'ENVIRONMENT' : 'OUR EARTH : OUR ONLY HOME'. That writers, poets and intellectuals of all age groups and genres converged to the SAARC Festival of Literature in Lucknow, is proof that they feel that Climate Change and Ecological Imbalance are concerns that have to be addressed urgently. As far as the question of environment is concerned we have to believe “Yesterday was too early; tomorrow would be too late; we have to act today!” Gathering of writers in general and of South Asia in particular plays a major role in the continuation of peace, mutual understanding, reciprocal respect of our cultural diversity, and the survival of our shared civilization and history.
