This programme of linking Aadhaar with voter id has been piloted in the districts of Nizamabad and Hyderabad in 2014 and expanded to rest of the country. During the implementation of this programme 30 lakh voters have been deleted part of voter rolls.

Inviting all to an evening of "NTR and Cinema" with Mrs. Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi
Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao once said, "I can not say I did not see the Gods, having lived in the era of NTR. If his portrayal of Rama, Krishna is not a manifestation of the greater powers, what is?
ANR, a proclaimed atheist and a contemporary to NTR once said, hither to, I decline to play the roles of mythological heroes. Only one person, NTR, should do that. And If there are Gods really, they too must now start and try to look like him and appear as often!"
There are many many parts to NTR - a learned and deeply spiritual person, a very fine and powerful ideologue, an orator and above all, a man for the fellow human. Not only in life, even in cinema too NTR donned many roles. Both in front and behind the camera. Where he played the role of a writer, director, costumer, designer, manager and a daily worker. No work was below him.
Writer Mrs. Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi Garu interacts with us about the thespian and his works. Mrs. Lakshmi Parvathi is a well published writer of many literary works, fiction and biographies. Her latest book 'Vaidehi' is a fine example of anthologising a mythology to contemporaneity.

Khadi is hand spun, hand woven natural fiber cloth from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The cloth is woven from cotton and may also include silk, or wool, which are all spun into yarn on a spindle called “tekuva” or a kind of spinning wheel called “charkha”. Looking back at more than 250 years back before industrialization the fabric woven in our country is all khadi.
Khadi first caught the imagination of the nation and the world during freedom movement under Mahatma Gandhi who propagated it as not just a fabric, but a way of life. One that is centered around the village, where the practice of khadi would be able to generate livelihood and self –reliance. Khadi was meant to become a supplementary industry to agriculture, a crucial element in a self-sustainable economy
We all need to understand the villages are the soul of India. If we do not wake up now it will be too late later. Rural India has a pool of local power, skills, natural resources and local technologies. The most important thing is be able to look back to our heritage and analyse what is best we have inherited in terms of man power, skills, resources and technology to build links and fill gaps at the grass root level by helping more people earn their livelihood Project “ Reconstruction of Khadi” is an alternative for industrial mode of cotton yarn production aiming at low cost investment local technology involving people, training them in skills to revive cotton Khadi’s past glory by reinterpreting it todays context.

Tridhara – Odissi Dance by Dr. Gajendra Panda and his disciples.
Tridhara is a pioneering institution which treasurers and upholds the unique style of Late Guru Debaprasad Das (founder father of Odissi dance and also Tridhara). The unique flavor of this gharana stems from the genius of Debaprasad Das, who amalgamated a variety of tribal and folk dance elements with the traditional Odissi.
Guru Gajendra’s composition style is refreshingly unique for a variety of reasons, but foremost among them is his masterful use of the “Sabda Swara Pata” which he absorbed, painstakingly and meticulously, from his Guru Debaprasad Das. At the feet of his master and surrogate father, Gaji babu also learned to present his dancers and himself in stunning sculpturesque friezes, which quickly take his audience to the resplendent temple statuary that Orissa is universally acclaimed for. In all that Gaji babu composes, there is to be seen a free flow of the three streams of Odisha’s dance art-tribal, folk and traditional village Odissi – and its brilliant embellishment in stylish execution of rhythm, movement and beautiful static pose.

Paris Commune, the first workers' revolution of the history was short lived - thanks to the ruthless bloodbath by the capitalist ruling classes - but even in its short span of 72 days it showed what the working class, when organized as the ruling class, could achieve. Marx drew some very important conclusions, especially regarding the question of state - as highlighted multiple times by Lenin in his book State and Revolution. Even today, this unprecedented event acts as a guide and morale booster for the revolutionaries everywhere, while incessantly haunting the ruling classes and rightly so!
March 18 this year marks the 138th anniversary of the Commune. Hyderabad Marxist Study Circle invites you to participate in a talk-cum-discussion event at 7:00 PM, March 19 in Lamakaan.

Lamakaan invites you all on the occasion of 96th Birth Anniversary of Padmashree Nataraja Ramakrishna who was on 21st March 1923 in Indonesia.
About Nataraja Ramakrishna:
Padmashree Nataraja Ramakrishna (21 March 1923 – 7 June 2011) was a dance guru from Telangana, India. He was the chairman of Andhra Pradesh Sangeeta Nataka Academy. He was also a scholar and musicologist who promoted classical dance in Andhra Pradesh and worldwide. Nataraja Ramakrishna's contributions to dances of South Indian traditions are great. He revived the dance traditions of Devadasis of Andhra Pradesh and named them Andhra Natyam. He decoded the 13th-century sculptures of Ramappa temple with the help of Jayapa Senani's Nrittya Ratnavalli and reconstructed the dance that went extinct for almost eight centuries. A lesser known fact about Nataraja Ramakrishna is that he put up the case of granting Classical status to Kuchipudi which otherwise was listed as a folk dance. He has immensely contributed to Perani dance form and nurtured it to the core.
Speakers:
Dr. Anuradha Jonnalagadda, Associate Professor at the Dept of Dance, University of Hyderabad. She is also a Kuchipudi Dance Exponent and direct student of Guruji.
Shree Kala Krishna, a direct disciple of Guruji will also be there.
ALL ARE WELCOME. ENTRY IS FREE & OPEN TO ALL!!!
During the event the participants will showcase their learnings and share their experiences their journeys as they engaged with issues of gender, rights, violence, development and citizenship. They will also be felicitated.
Individuals -- and particularly women - who believe in a secular, democratic and inclusive India and express it through their work and social media posts often fund themselves being targeted, harassed, shamed and cornered on social media. Not only does this result in a narrowing of already shrinking public spaces for women with ‘unpopular’ views but it also forces their invisibilisation. The problem is compounded by a major section of the mainstream media also adopting a stridently intolerant position on many issues. What can we do to rescue the possibility of debate and diversity in the media and social media? Is there any role for the law or of official guidelines? Or are those a double-edged sword?
Panelists:- Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Faizan Mustafa, Swati Vadlamdui, Nitya Ramakrishnan and Rohini Singh — In Conversation with Chandana Chakrabarti.
Join our panel for a discussion on this crucial topic of our times, open for all.

"KUNDETI KOMMU"
A hilarious play in Telugu
Directed by Rathna Shekar
Date - 23rd & 24th March 2019
Time - 7.30pm
Venue - Lamakaan, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
The play revolves around a conflict between two villages Pedduru and Chinnuru which were once one. Owing to differences, two brothers Pedda Dora and Chinna Dora separate, which not only creates the division of this village but also plants seeds of vengeance in the hearts of these people. While a wanderer conversing with an educated urbanite, suddenly collapses exactly on the boundary line of the two villages. This triggers a conflict between the two villages on who shall take up the responsibility to perform the last rites of the dead person.
Adi & Appa who happen to be ardent followers of Pedda Dora and Chinna Dora, continuously engage in verbal arguments supporting the voice of their respective leaders. Saraiah, a solo drunkard who doesn’t identify with either of the villages fuels the argument frequently. Likewise after a series of arguments, the brothers suddenly discover the monetary benefits of cremation through a letter in the wanderers bag. Intoxicated by greed Pedda Dora, Chinna Dora and their corresponding associates begin to compete in showering pretentious respect towards the dead body. A new conflict arises where both the brothers desperately offer to take up the entire responsibility of performing the last rites. After witnessing this chameleonic behaviour of the villagers, the Urbanite discloses that no penny will be received by either of the doras.
How will they react to this new situation, who will get the money ? Lets find out.
The talk intends to trigger a thought process and discussion on the current state of technology. We would glance through different issues that are coming up ahead of us with the fast-paced technology, namely attention economy, tech addictions, digital privacy, digital laws, and liberties. The talk will dig deep into the psychological factors that are involved when we use social media and which in a way keep us coming back to the social media and get us hooked.

Sainyan Bhaye Kotwal' ( Tamasha Play in Hindi )
The elections in April will commence the 17th Loksabha elections in India. At this crucial juncture, every political party opens its box of schemes to lure the voters. If the bait of schemes did not create the sir that they expected, the latest trick up their wily sleeve is to spread propaganda, jumle baazi.
The history of 16th Loksabha elections has taught us that elections in India are just the never-ending saga of broken promises and of course costly affair too with crores of rupees are being pumped into publicity and promotions.
So as the lead participants of this high voltage political act let us all ask some important questions like:
What is that we should recall and assess before voting in these elections?
Does our vote matter?
Does NOTA bear any weight?
What should we learn from the broken promises?
Should we be voting for the MP or PM?
And many more such questions...
