    Annual Report 2018-19 Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad Gandhi Ji’s View on Education Character cannot be built with mortar and stone. It cannot be built by hands other than your own. The Principal and the Professor cannot give you character from the pages of books. Character building comes from their very lives and really speaking, it must come from within yourselves. Put all your knowledge, learning and scholarship in one scale and truth and purity in the other and the latter will by far outweigh the other. The miasma of moral impurity has today spread among our school going children and like a hidden epidemic is working havoc among them. All your scholarship, all your study of the scriptures will be in vain if you fail to translate their teachings into your daily life.....

  • Tehzeeb-E-Tawaif
    A Day-long Symposium and Ticketed Performance that celebrate the contributions of Courtesans to India’s Performing Arts For Immediate Release Any study of India’s rich history of arts will be incomplete without a reference to the Tawaif, Baiji or Courtesan who served as vision and muse for poets, painters and musicians, and is a consummate artiste in her own right. Courtesans were known for their delicate poetry, a fine interlacing of Persian and Awadhi languages, their profound influence on musical traditions (like ghazals, dadra, thumri and gayaki) and their most indelible impact on expressive dance disciplines, imbuing the language of dance with poetics and soul. The Tawaifs and Baijis were once considered the epitome of performance art. They were held in high esteem and treated at par with Royalty. However, the important contributions of Courtesan Culture to Indian heritage have unfortunately been mitigated in the pages of history, having left residual and often highly romanticised traces. Journey back into India’s performative past with a unique event that brings the magic, the mannerisms and mujras of the Tawaif back to life! Sufi Kathak Foundation, The Royal Opera House, Mumbai and Avid Learning present Tehzeeb-e-Tawaif: Courtesan Culture and Women Performers in India (18th- 20th Century), an illuminating day-long Symposium exploring The role and significance of women artistes and how they irrevocably influenced dance and musical legacies of the Indian Tradition. Please read below for more on the Symposium: Conceptualised by Kathak Dancer and Founder of the Sufi Kathak Foundation Manjari Chaturvedi this symposium will be divided into sessions that re-tell stories, reaffirm histories and address issues related to these exemplary performers.
