True freedom is measured not by independence, but by the systems that serve the people.
India’s development often falters not for lack of vision, but because outdated laws, centralized authority, and bureaucratic rigidity limit real progress. This session explores how systemic reform, civic partnerships, and cultural shifts can unlock a future-ready India.
Join us with Guru Prakash (BJP), Anurag Bhadoria (SP), and Surendra Rajput (INC), in conversation with Manoj Rajan Tripathi (Zee News), as they discuss solutions for a stronger, more empowered nation.
📅 14th December, Sunday
⏰ 5:00 p.m.
📍 The Lawn, Le Press, Hazratganj, Lucknow
The session “Gender, A Revolutionary Thought?” delves into how perspectives on gender continue to evolve—shaped by lived experiences, cultural narratives, and shifting social realities. It invites us to rethink the familiar, challenge inherited notions, and explore how gender influences identity, expression, and equality.
Join us with Anand Yashpal, Prof. Shruti, and Shakeel Siddiqui as they unpack these layered conversations, offering insight, reflection, and a deeper understanding of a topic that shapes us all.

मृदुला सिंह हमें अपने नए काव्य-संग्रह ‘मृगतृष्णा’ के साथ एक संवेदनशील यात्रा पर ले जाती हैं। उनके गीत, मुक्तक और कविताएँ जीवन की अनकही विडंबनाओं, स्मृतियों, सपनों और स्त्री-अनुभवों को स्पष्ट और सधे हुए स्वर में सामने लाती हैं।
इस विशेष सत्र में मृदुला सिंह अपनी पुस्तक का औपचारिक विमोचन करेंगी और इसके साथ अपनी कविताओं का पाठ भी प्रस्तुत करेंगी। उन पंक्तियों में है लालित्य, विरह और आत्मचिंतन की वह गहराई, जो हर श्रोता के भीतर की तन्हाई और स्मृतियों को छू जाती हैं।
एक ऐसी शाम, जो काव्य, संवेदना और शब्दों की यात्रा को एक साथ समेटती है—मृदुला सिंह की रचनात्मक यात्रा के रूप में।

An hour of rhythm, cleverness, and the enduring charm of Urdu poetry awaits the audience.
