Post Convocation

 I got a call in the evening and was invited to join all the MA Batch students who had come to Hyderabad  for the convocation. It was fun connecting with the students. Some of these students have gone to different Universities like JNU, Jamia Milia, Delhi University  to do M. Phil's, others have joined coaching for Competitive exams, some have joined Projects. It was a fun filled evening  catching up with students and I will remember this batch as a very active one that was very good at organising events and was very savvy with technology and very visible  on the Internet. I hope they all settle well and I wish them all a bright futures Indeed a great way to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti with my dear students.

Workshop on Kabir

 The Department of History and the History Research Scholars forum got together on 12th September, 2015, to organise a wonderful programme related to Kabir. Shabanam Virmani the film maker and artist along with Vipul Rakhi a poet, translator, writer and singer along with Gopal Singh Chauhan a heritage and cultural activist conducted this. After the screening of the beautiful film Had Anhad (Bounded Boundless) there was a discussion on Kabir, his philosophy, the film, it's relevance. This was followed by the rendering of songs by the trio. It was an amazing workshop and one which was very much welcomed by the students.Thanks to our students Kalu Ram Palsania, Kishore Kumar, Nimitha, Pratima, Srijan Mandal for putting in all the efforts and bringing in  this together.
