Seminar on Maulana Azad in Hyderabad

A three-day seminar will be organsied here from tomorrow where various facets of the life of eminent freedom fighter and patriot Maulana Abul Kalam Azad will be discussed. City-based Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) is organising the seminar on the topic `Maulana Abul Kalam Azad: A Multifaceted Thinker’. The idea of conducting the seminar is to identify those areas on which little or no work has been done on Azad and also to identify the libraries and private collection where new material on the late political leader is available, former Vice-Chancellor of Osmania University Suleman Siddiqui told reporters here today. The seminar will draw a road map for the future programmes to be undertaken by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Chair that was recently established at MANUU, he said. `An Evening with Maulana Abul Kalam Azad – Screening of the Play’, an Urdu solo by actor and theatre personality Tom Alter has also be arranged tomorrow evening, Siddiqui said.
