Zee Theatre is all set to premiere acclaimed teleplay Aaj Rang Hai on March 28th at 2 pm and 8 pm to celebrate Holi. Written and directed by Purva Naresh, one of the most powerful and influential female voices in contemporary Indian theatre, Aaj Rang Hai is a musical celebration of India’s syncretic cultural and artistic traditions through the poetry of Amir Khusrau. A period drama set in post-Partition India, the play invokes Khusrau’s all-embracing philosophy in an attempt to foster communal harmony in a society that is becoming increasingly separatist.

Purva says, “The play is set in post-Partition India but there are many moments in the narrative that remind us of the headlines we see today. Love is the foundation of human existence, art, culture, of everything we are and do. The root word of humanity is human and we cannot be fully human without love.”

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).
