The event is been organized by AAMAD Dance Center to showcase the Innovations & Contributions of Hazrat Amir Khusrau & Nawab Wajid Ali Shah in North Indian Culture & Performing arts with the projection of visual portrayal of the 11th - 19th century’s Persian miniature paintings & manuscripts and various facets of Aamir Khusrau & Wajid Ali Shah from the museums & libraries.
The seminar is being conducted to interact with the audience and talk about the diminishing relevance of these art and cultural heritage. Indo Persian cultural history has been discussed much in the books. In order to keep it lively among the upcoming generation, it is important for new talents and performers to learn about the Indo Persian art and culture.
Amir Khusrau’s royal association as a prolific classical poet with more than seven rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh, gifted brilliance and committed ethical way of living, both have had pervading effect on the arts, music, dance, the language, architecture and other manifestations of culture of that period.
The seminar is just a step to educate and influence fresh art learners about the history, heritage and its influence in the society.
THE NEED
Though, many studies have been done on Indian, Islamic and Persian’s history however he Indo Persian synthesis has not been study deeply.Aamir Khusrau’s royal association as a prolific classical poet with more than seven rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh, gifted brilliance and committed ethical way of living, both have had pervading effect on the arts, music, dance, the language, architecture and other manifestations of culture of that period.
They form parts of our rich and imported heritage, which tell us of our past and of what we are made of in the present. They need to be honoured and preserved for the generations to come - not just for us, but for the entire world. Hence, it is desirable to do in depth research focusing on the living traditional culture of Indo Persian culture along with the deep studies on Persian & Urdu manuscripts and various miniature paintings of 11th - 19th century related to Indo Persian performing arts.
