We are preparing a vision document of various cultural identities of India which would be exchanged and taught in various countries across the world," said Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Rajya Sabha member of Parliament (MP) and chairman, Indian centre for cultural relations (ICCR) here on Monday. This would be a step forward in India's emergence as a soft power, he said, while releasing the book 'Radio Kashmir and my days in Broadcasting' written by Pran Kishore Kaul, recipient of the Sahitya Akademi award. The programme was organised at the Bhandarkar oriental research institute on Law college road.
'Radio Kashmir and my days in Broadcasting' by Kaul is an account of his 35 years in Radio Kashmir and some other stations of All India Radio. He has described people, events and personalities he came across with minute details. Zafar Manhas, vice-chairman of Jammu and Kashmir art culture and languages; Ashok Jailkhani, former additional general of Doordarshan and Sanjay Nahar, founder of the NGO Sarhad, were present at the event. "This book is a treasure of social and political information about Kashmir. It has a multitude of human emotions. This is not a book, it is actually the cultural and political history of Jammu and Kashmir, which I had lived," he said.
