Event Description : "Islamic Heritage of Assam" Film screening.

The film looks at the life-cycle events of Sufi saints, Islamic institutions, creative heritage, folk songs and creative traditions that highlight the Islamic heritage of Assam. It shows that Islamic heritage in Assam has been shaped over eight centuries since the first footing of the Muslims in this part of the country through interface and interaction of the community with the locals. The liberal Vaishnava tradition in healthy conjunction with the Sufi tradition offered unique opportunities to the Muslims to identify and integrate themselves into local lifestyles and build a harmonious customary and liberal Islamic heritage.

The film has been produced under the ‘Confluence of Tradition and Composite cultures’ program of the Janapada Sampada Division of the IGNCA.

Director: Abdul Majid
