Event Details : A MUSICAL interaction with Taimur Rahman from Pakistan's Revolutionary Band LAAL, Dedicated to Shri Ravi Nagar
Upon The Indian People's Theatre Association's formal inauguration in 1943-44, IPTA took upon itself the challenge to bring theatre to the people with the slogan of " People's theatre stars the people" and our objective of building awareness about social responsibility an...d national integration. Born as a result of a long-felt need among writers and artistes, IPTA brought about a sea change in the prevalent concepts about Indian Theatre and Art. It was formed to co-ordinate and to strengthen all progressive tendencies that had so far manifested themselves in the form of drama, songs and dances. 
On 21st April we lost a great singer and composer of progressive songs Ravi Nagar (IPTA-Lucknow). In his memory, IPTA JNU invites you all to a short musical evening of progressive songs from few different states all over the country.
On this occasion, Taimur Rahman, the academic, political activist and musician from Pakistan for the music group named Laal will be present with us for an interactive session with the JNU student community to speak on the Culture of Progressive songs in Pakistan, and the subcontinent.
A new publication house, PHONEME BOOKs will also launch its first publication, the Indian Edition of READING CAPIAL POLITICALLY by Harry Cleaver. The PHONEME BOOKs' aim is to promote progressive and marxist literature in India.
