Main Tum Hoon, Tum Main Ho! (Hindi/Hindustani; 50 min)

Human values, such as empathy, compassion, resilience, are vividly reflected in Hindi literature particularly in the context of the Partition of India in 1947. The traumatic division of the country left millions displaced, with families torn apart, and communities fractured by violence and distrust. Writers of the time portrayed the raw human emotions and the social chaos that accompanied this historic event.

A performance based on text - poetry, prose and anecdotes in the works of Punjabi writers such as Mohan Rakesh, Bhishm Sahani, Krishna Sobti, Agyeya, and Yashpal.

Dramatised readings and enactment by Prof. Apoorvanand, Prof. Poorwa, Raza Haider and others
