Dear friends,

I am writing this letter to share with you all a report of a highly significant and interesting event that was organized by the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) on the Gandhi Jayanti Day (2nd October, 2009) at Kokrajhar, Assam, India. I had the good fortune of being a participant at this historic occasion.

The ABSU having witnessed thoughtless killings and destructions spread over many years has come to strongly feel that this must be stopped. This organization… Continue

Synopsis: "MID SHOT- an experiment with truth is about the travails of a director, Ram Bhardwaj who tries to unravel the assassination of his ideal, Mahatma Gandhi. He starts making a film called G2 which explores the Gandhi- Godse ideological divide. The film, while still in the making, to the director's dismay, becomes a subject of controversy and the distorted projection of it even leads to communal riots. Meanwhile, pressure mounts on the director by vested interests to ideologically slant the film. How the movie on Gandhi then becomes an experiment with truth in his own life and makes him search for answers in his inner self, is what the movie is all about.

At 11:11am on October 25, 2010, Dr. R.N.Prasad said…: Dear Natwarji, I am glad to know about you. We can learn a lot from you. It is very difficult to find true Gandhians even in the land of Mahatma. I am in Gandhinagar and doing my reasearch on Corporate Social Responsibility, Trusteeship and Peace from Gujarat Vidyapith. By profession I am Engineer-MBA and working with a reputed Government Sector Consultancy Firm (WAPCOS Ltd.) I am equally interested in Gandhian values, too, which I do my best to practice in my personal life, although it is very difficult. Practice is more important than therory. Gandhian theory is useful only when it is put into practice. I will remain in touch with you.

I met you at your Guwahati office way back in 2007, when I stayed at Saraniya ashram, we had a talk for about 30 minutes or so, as I came as a researcher to seek details about Gandhian activities among the indigenous communities of North East India. certainly it was a pleasure to meet you.
I freind of mine is working on tribal issues of Nagaland, and he is also seeking your email ID, if it is conveneint to you then kindly let me have your email ID so that we could connect far better as next year we intend to visit your ashram at Nagaland.

Kind regards,
Bina
