Madan Gopal Singh, film theorist, screen writer, lyricist, composer and singer, was the distinguished speaker of the event. In his inaugural remarks, Vice Chancellor Prof Arvind said Madan Gopal Singh was the perfect choice for the event.

The speaker emphasised on familiarising with the complex confluence of different cultural traditions in 19th century South Asia to appreciate the singular greatness of Sahni. He said, exuded tempting restless “for the romance of knowing and seeking”.

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).
