Film Director and Screenwriter, Sudhir Mishra in conversation with Sujata Prasad and Oroon Das

This is the first in a new series of monthly conversations staged in collaboration with Ahad Anhad—a forum for creative instigations—which manifested its first edition at the Bihar Museum recently, bringing together words, ideas, performances and the liveliest voices in contemporary writing in Hindi, English, Urdu and the regional dialects of Bihar.

The seminar focuses on the role of culture in the framing and working of the Constitution of India. Historically, the Indian subcontinent has been replete with a variety of rich and constantly-evolving cultures. These cultures contain essential learnings not only for artists, historians, and philosophers, but also for lawyers, judges, public functionaries, students of constitutional law as well as ordinary citizens. This seminar aims to probe the question – as we decolonise our legal system, can tenets of Indian cultures inform constitutional arrangements in our country?

There will be three sessions: Culture & Our Constitution; Fundamental Duties & Fundamental Rights; and The Individual & The Group
