Hindu Muslim Unity - Interfaith Dialogue

The programme will be convened by Shri Naresh Sharma

and will be held in the esteemed presence of

Dr. Sandeep Pandey, Secretary, SPI (India).

At a time when our nation needs deeper trust and dialogue, this gathering seeks to reaffirm a simple but powerful truth:

India’s strength lies in its unity, diversity, and shared humanity.


Hindu–Muslim unity is not just a social ideal; it is a national necessity.

It reminds us that:


- Peaceful coexistence is the foundation of a strong democracy.

- Mutual respect builds social stability and collective progress.

- Dialogue is more powerful than division.

- The future of India depends on young minds committed to harmony and justice.


This interaction is an opportunity for citizens and youth to:


- Reflect on the shared cultural and ethical roots of our society,

- Express hopes and concerns for India’s future,

- Recommit ourselves to unity, compassion, and constitutional values,

- Strengthen bonds that go beyond religion, language, and identity.


Your presence will add strength to the spirit of fraternity and national integration. Let us come together not as separate communities, but as one people working for the good of the nation.

"తెలంగాణాలో చరిత్రపూర్వయుగ ప్రదేశాలు- సంస్కృతులు”
Prehistoric Sites and Prehistoric Cultures of Telangana
A presentation by Sririamoju Haragopall, well-known researcher and Convenor of Telangana Kotha Charitra Brundam (TKCB), a group of nearly 200 voluntary/freelance researchers. based on their over two decades of extensive field studies through the length and breadth of Telangana.

తెలంగాణాలో చరిత్రపూర్వయుగ మానవసంస్కృతులకు ఇది సంక్షిప్త పరిచయం మాత్రమే. మనిషి మనిషిగా ఈ నేలమీద పరిణామం పొందినప్పటి నుంచి తను జీవించిన జీవనగమనాన్ని, కాలంతో ప్రయాణంగా గణించి, పరిశీలించినవే చరిత్రకెక్కాయి. దొరికిన రాతి పనిముట్టు మనిషి జాడను చెప్పింది. తనా పనిముట్టును తయారుచేసుకున్న సాంకేతికతను వివరించింది. ఆ పరికరం పనితనాన్ని బోధించింది. ఎంతెంత దూరమో, ఎంతెంత కాలమో మానవుల అడుగుల జాడల్ని దాచివుంచింది ఈ నేల. కొండలు, కోనలు, చెట్లు, నదులగట్లు, సెలయేళ్ళ దరులు, పరుపురాతిబండలు, పడగరాతినీడలు, బురదనేలలు మనుషుల సంచారతత్వాన్ని రికార్డు చేసాయి. అట్ల జరిగింది కనుకనే మనకు మన పూర్వుల నాగరికతాసంస్కృతుల అన్వేషణ సాధ్యమైంది. మానవ పరిణామంలో మనుషులు ఎదిగొచ్చిన కాలంమెట్లదారి కనుగొనగలుగుతున్నాం.

This is only a brief introduction to the prehistoric human cultures of Telangana. From the moment humans emerged as humans upon this soil, only those parts of their life journey—measured and observed as a passage through time—have entered the record of history. The stone tools unearthed speak of human presence here. They reveal the technology used to craft them. They demonstrate the skill embodied in those implements. Across vast distances and immense stretches of time, this land has concealed the footprints of our ancestors. Hills, valleys, trees, riverbanks, stream beds, polished rock surfaces, the shadows beneath overhanging boulders, and muddy grounds—all have silently documented humanity's wandering nature. It is because of this preservation that we can now explore and understand the civilizations and cultures of our forebears. We are gradually tracing the steps of time along which humans have evolved and advanced.

About Sriramoju Haragopal: Sriramoju Haragopal hails from the village of Aaleru in the present Yadadri-Bhongir district. What began as a curiosity about how his village got its name gradually led him into deeper historical research in some 40 villages around Aaleru. ‘Kotta Telangana Charitra Brundam’ or the New Telangana History Group emerged from the confluence of students and colleagues who helped him in this initial research.

After his retirement as government school teacher and head master, Haragopal plunged into vigorous field research with some help from the organisation Telangana Jagruti (2013 to 2019). The nearly 200 associates he gathered during that stint continue to travel and bring out ever-new findings almost every week. As a result, they have succeeded in expanding and deepening the historical and cultural knowledge and scholarship about Telangana by accumulating a massive amount of data.

Childhood today is increasingly filled with homework, examinations, and attention-killing screens.
This session invites children back to something simple and timeless - words.

At this reading space, children (Grades 6–9) will be given short, hand-picked reads curated from the internet: stories, ideas, and reflections meant purely for the joy of reading. No pressure. No academics. No grades.
Just reading for curiosity, imagination, and quiet attention. Children may bring their own books too.

Parents are welcome to join the space as well: to read, slow down, and enjoy words instead of reels.

Bluetooth Ka Bhoot
Vicky, a young corporate employee, is desperate to impress his boss and save his job. But just before an important meeting at home, he accidentally swallows a Bluetooth earbud, and every time someone calls his phone, his entire body vibrates like a phone on silent mode.

Only Gopi — his overly dramatic house cleaner — witnesses this madness. To protect Vicky from getting fired, Gopi keeps inventing lies and covers up the vibrations, pretending Vicky is on a “silent health fast” while handling the meeting himself.

Shastri, Vicky’s strict boss, is a perfection-obsessed workaholic who can’t tolerate mistakes. He treats the meeting like a battlefield, tests Vicky on discipline every second, and becomes even more suspicious when things look “too peaceful.”

Ranga, a filmy loan shark with dramatic timing and hero-style entry, arrives in the worst moment possible. He behaves like a villain from a blockbuster movie, demands his money with emotion and ego, and refuses to leave until his “respect” is settled.

Our film “Can We Meet Again…?” Is a story of a guy falling In love with a girl in his dreams. His love and all the good memories stick only till the dream lasts but when the alarm rings and the dream ends the real life struggles begin. How does he meet his love again how can he meet her again the conflicts and the journey is the main plot.

Launch of Matti Rangula Nadi (మట్టి రంగుల నది)- poetry anthology of Sudha Kiran, hosted by Kaalam Gunde Chappudu ( కాలం గుండె చప్పుడు)

This event marks the inaugural meeting of a new reading circle dedicated exclusively to Indian science fiction. Founded with the aim of spotlighting the richness and diversity of speculative writing from India, the reading circle brings together readers interested in exploring how Indian authors imagine science, technology, history and the future.

Over the course of one year, we will collectively read and discuss eight selected works of Indian science fiction. The first in-person session will take place on February 15, 2026, from 2pm to 4pm (with subsequent meetings scheduled at six-week intervals). In addition to the offline gatherings, the group will also host regular online discussions to share progress, reflections, and insights between sessions. Anyone interested to join our community can you use this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LPQMXSgLpLbCIMyqwfPN43

The opening session will focus on The Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh, a landmark novel that blends science fiction, history and mystery. It won the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1997. The discussion will introduce participants to the themes of the book while setting the tone for thoughtful, inclusive and engaging conversations throughout the year.

The reading circle is open to anyone interested in discovering or revisiting Indian science fiction and aims to encourage more readers to engage with this important and often underrepresented literary tradition.
