The fourth edition of Sikhlens: Sikh Arts and Film Festival, 2023 was held at Tagore Theatre, Chandigarh on Saturday.

The festival that celebrates Sikh heritage and culture, screened about 20 films. The films were shortlisted from eight countries, namely India, Canada, the US, the UK, Kenya, Pakistan, Malawi and Singapore. Organised by Pinaka Mediaworks and Rolling Frames Entertainment, the festival is supported by the Chandigarh Administration, the Department of Cultural Affairs (U.T), the Government of Canada, and the United Sikh Mission.

Caroline Rowett, British Deputy High Commissioner, in her keynote address talked about the intertwined culture of the UK and India. She further stated, “The culture and the arts connect us in ways that trade and investment don’t.”

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).
