Kashmir – Current challenges in a historical perspective (The actual program is in Hindi) : Sushil Pandit
Prabodhan Manch Parle
Prabodhan Manch – as we introduced ourselves a couple of months ago – is a fledgling group of 12 like minded professionals who want to do something outside of their regular day to day activities. It aims to provide a platform for disseminating unbiased views on topics of relevance through eminent speakers. We were fortunate to have reached a record audience of 800+ people for our inaugural talk and are hoping to reach to get a full hall of 450+ people for this second offering of ours.

विषय - कश्मीर : इतिहास के परिप्रेक्ष्य में वर्त्तमान चुनौतियां
Kashmir – Current challenges in a historical perspective
Since the formation of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh – the precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of today - removal of article 370 has been an inseparable demand of the manifesto. But before venturing into what seems an arduous task for any government, one needs to understand Kashmir from ahistorical perspective and then delve into the issues of today. Only then will we get a holistic solution for this problem. Let’s listen to one of the most well read, heard and respected intellectuals give us his perspective.
