तू प्यार का सागर है

“Tu Pyaar Ka Saagar Hai” – a Nashist organised by Impresario Asia at the India Habitat Centre on 5th May 2017 I read this most amazing Convocation Address given by Shri Balraj Sahni in 1972 to the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.

I started with:   Hello friends…. Mr Kohli has entrusted me with a huge responsibility of reading this convocation address by the legend.  I hope I will be able to convey the feelings and nuances of this extraordinary piece of text written nearly 45 years ago. Surprisingly,  we are still struggling with the same issues even today whether it is corruption in high places, the hoopla of nationalism, our failure to bring about equality and socialism in society or even the force fed Rashtrabhasha.  While you enjoy this memorable piece, kindly overlook any mistakes in diction or delivery.  So here it is in the words of Mr Balraj Sahni.
