Notably, marking the victory of good over evil, Dussherea, and the following festival of lights, Diwali, the Dastangoi will be on lord Rama, titled “Dastan-e-Ram” in Urdu, penned by Professor Danish Iqbal and performed by Fouzia Dastango, symbolising a unity of two religions and thoughts as a shared co-existence of India.It would be followed by a stand-up comedy by Maheep Singh making the day, light. Mushaira would feature poets such as Dr. Asim Peerzada, Vikas Sharma ‘Raat”, Professor Tarkash Pradeep, Azhar Nawaz, Vipul Kumar, Azhar Iqbal and Aquib Sabir who will preside it.The day-long programme would be concluded with classical and Sufi music performances by Fareed Hasan and Mehboob Hussain of the Dilli Gharana.Notably, Aaraish e Sukhan is the first literary and musical affair at the Shikwa haveli.Alka Raza, a writer, the haveli owner and wife of Kashif Raza, says, “Our undying dedication to art and culture of our country, is the main motive to do this show and not the promotion of the haveli. So, we have made a small beginning for the love of arts and artistes. We used to organise Jashne-e-Doab earlier but for the last two years of lockdown and pandemic, we have not been able to do anything of this sort. So, this time, in collaboration with Harfkaar, we have tried to cause some ripples again.”
