Two literary programmes were organised at Swami Vivekananda library here on Sunday.
The event began with the ‘open mic’ programme. Under this series, the authors and the writers of various genres recited their poetries and short stories to the Bhopalites.
This programme included exclusively the English writers and authors. This programme was organised by the Club Ink Group of Swami Vivekananda library. As many as 20 young writers and authors read out their creations beautifully to the audience.
later, a public lecture on the Indo-Nepal Relations was organized in the evening at the library premises.
The public lecture was conducted by Brigadier George Methoy who was formerly posted in Nepal.
While discussing about the Indo-Nepal Relationships, Methoy emphasized over the culture, regions and political scenario of Nepal. He then connected all the things together. Remembering the previous relationships and current situations he talked about the Indo-Nepal relations.
He said that although lord Buddha is worshipped in Nepal but over there almost 86% population is Hindu. He said that Nepal also has a diversity of relations, cultures and beliefs. Discussing more about it he said that people living in Nepal can easily connect with the Indians which is something really good.
He then talked about the history of the country. He said that the history of Nepal began when Prithvi Narayan Shah won Nepal and extended its borders till the current ones.
Going deep into the history, Methoy then emphasized over the current situations. He said that India and Nepal also shares a very interesting history with each other.
He disclosed various facts and also told the audience about the wars and other happenings of the countries.
The public lecture proved to be a fruitful one for the interested Bhopalites.
