Dr. Asghar Wajahat's Presents Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamiya Nai - A Musical Play in Hindustani. Direction: Dinesh Thakur. Jis Lahore Nahi Dekhya was written in the 1980s but today it has become our willing tool to cry out stop- to death, torture, violence, rape visited on any community in the name of religion or race! The story, set in 1947, is about an old Hindu woman in Lahore who, robbed of her son and family as a result of the riots at partition refuses to be robbed of her home by a Muslim refugee family from Lucknow. The Muslim family, having suffered the painful displacement of partition are desperate and not averse to bringing in the local, political goondas. Even as the goondas move in, sensing the advantage of exploiting the situation, they remain blind to the inherent strength of human kindnesses. It is this unexpected human bonding and empathy for our fellow creatures, the ability to see ourselves in others, a brotherhood of inclusion that makes the world such a beautiful place despite repeated attempts at divisiveness by vested interests. This play assumes even more importance in the light of the spate of the recent terror attacks globally. It has become even more imperative to drive home the message of 'tolerance and mutual respect' to prevent the birth of future terrorists. Tickets: Rs 500, 300, 200, 100.
