Kendri Guru Singh Sabha organised a seminar at Guru Granth Sahib Bhawan to remember celebrated Punjabi writer Jaswant Singh Kanwal who passed away recently.

Many eminent Sikh and communist scholars spoke about the noted writer. Journalist Karamjit Singh talked about the ideological shifts in Kanwal’s writings. Another speaker Dr Swaraj Singh spoke about Kanwal’s concern about the problems of Punjab as reflected in his writings.

Sikh historian Ajmer Singh also talked about various aspects of Kanwal’s writings. Rajwinder Singh Rahi and Malwinder Singh Maali were also among the speakers. —TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
