Dharmon Main Bhi,
Rishton Main Bhi, Tyoharon main bhi,
Daftar main bhi, sadkon pe bhi,
shahron main bhi, gaon main bhi,
churahon pe hinsaa hain charon pehar,
sarhad pe bhi dekho to chhaya zehar,
in dino, in dino,
sochon main in dino,
kyaa hua in dino,
in dino, in dino,
These an other such songs resonated in the auditorium at Potti Sriramulu Telugu University on the evening of Saturday February 2,2013 when the indomitable Ahmedabad based couple Charul and Vinay mesmerised and enthralled the sparse gathering with such gems.........
The activist couple who are on a nationwide awareness cum educational tour took time out off their hectic schedule to not only regale Hyderabad with their repertoire of meaningful, soul stirring and though provoking songs, but also asked the sparse gathering such questions that had one delving into the innermost recesses of one's soul and closely questioning one's motives and actions before conjuring up a plausible as well as relevant reply to these rather pointed questions.........
Loknaad is the group and initiative that this charming, informed and erudite couple have formed and are intimately linked with and this group has taken upon itself the onerous responsibility of not only awakening many a hibernating and deeply slumbering soul, but also getting people to rise above self imposed boundaries of caste, creed, religion, sect, region and so and so forth.........
Forceful and increasingly vociferous cries of "Hum Bhi Insaan Hain" rent the still air time and again and not only raised rosy hopes for a bright future but also evoked a sense of nostalgia and optimism about mankind rising above these narrow and stifling prejudices that divide and sub divide it and coming together in a renewed sense of brotherhood and togetherness........
Legendary balladeer Gaddar, former chief information commissioner as well as chief secretary to the government of Andhra Pradesh Jannat Hussain and eminent former professors of Hyderabad's prominent universities not only graced the occasion, wept and rejoiced with the rest of the common folk but also asked a few relevant and soul searching questions of their very own........
The only jarring note if any was the conspicuous absence of any sense of enthusiasm and participation on the part of the aam Hyderabadi who chose to give this momentous and life changing occasion a go by as is his/her wont......
Yours truly himself counted at least four such friends who did promise to be there but then failed to turn up for reasons only known to them thereby raising serious doubts in quiet a few minds about whether or not Hyderabadi vaakey main Insaan Hain??????
Mandir, Masjid, Girijaghar ne baant liya Bhagwan ko,
Dharti Baanti, saagar baanta, mat baanto insaan ko,
Hindu kehtaa mandir mera, mandie mera dham hain,
Muslim kehta masjid mera, Allah ka hee naam hain,
Rishton Main Bhi, Tyoharon main bhi,

shahron main bhi, gaon main bhi,
churahon pe hinsaa hain charon pehar,
