Book Launch: The Kipling File. By Sudhir Kakar
Overview
In the cultural hub of 1880s’ Lahore Kay Robinson has taken over as editor of the Civil and Military Gazette. Assisting him is the young and impressionable Rudyard Kipling, a lonely, impulsive man who dreams of becoming a writer. Kipling’s literary pursuits have been dismissed as fanciful and foolish by his previous boss. But Robinson is different. He encourages the young ‘Ruddy’, allowing him greater creative freedom at the Gazette. As he becomes Ruddy’s friend and confidant, Robinson gains access to intimate glimpses of the Kipling family, where he is smitten by Ruddy’s sister Trix.
Narrated by Robinson, The Kipling File is a moving story of doomed friendship and difficult love recounted against the powerful backdrop of Anglo-Indian life in a Punjab that has begun to stir with anti-colonial sentiment. Through his eyes unfold the turmoils that shaped the author of beloved classics like The Jungle Book and Kim.
In Sudhir Kakar’s luminous prose, Kipling emerges as a man of compelling contradictions-a mercurial genius whose immense talent was in pitched battle with his inner demons.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Sahapedia, an open-access, online encyclopaedia on Indian culture, heritage and the arts, will hold a series of heritage walks across 16 cities of the country to enlist participation of a wide spectrum of enthusiasts for exploring and preserving the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the country, as part of World Heritage Week.
Celebrating World Heritage Week- Visit to Nizamuddin Dargah
This magnificent dargah (shrine) in the National Capital invites you for a journey as it spreads the divine light that gives peace to hearts and souls with the essence of rose in the air. It is considered auspicious to be buried near a saint, and this is why there are so many tombs in this corner of Delhi. On our way, we will experience the sights and sounds of the Nizamuddin basti, passing by Urs Mahal, the white-marbled Chausanth Khamba, the little-known tomb of Atgah Khan, and a 14th century baoli. The conversations will revolve around the poetry of Mirza Ghalib, spirituality, qwwalis of Hazrat Amir Khusro and the wonders of the long-gone era.
This guided tour is free.

Sahapedia, in partnership with UNESCO, organises multi-city heritage events for persons with special needs
- Events in Delhi, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, and Amritsar coincide with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which falls on December 3
New Delhi, Dec. 01: Ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Sahapedia, the open access encyclopaedia of Indian culture and heritage, is organising a series of multi-city events for persons with special needs, in partnership with UNESCO.
The United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), which is observed annually across the world on December 3, will focus on the theme of “empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality”.
‘The main aim of these engagements is to enhance the experience of persons with disabilities, so they are not excluded from involvement with India’s rich heritage,” said Vaibhav Chauhan, Secretary, Sahapedia.
Aligned with Sahapedia’s objective of making Indian heritage equally accessible to all groups of society, Sahapedia will be organising the events in five cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Amritsar and Bhubaneswar.
In all of the cities, Sahapedia has collaborated with local partners such as The Maker’s Collaborative (Kolkata), Access for ALL (Mumbai) and the Partition Museum (Amritsar), to execute these activities.
The first event, which was held in Kolkata on November 30, showcased West Bengal’s tradition of BeniPutul or glove puppetry. Conducted by the state’s well-known folk puppeteer BasantaGhorai, the puppetry show was organised for persons with hearing disabilities.
One of the highlights of Sahapedia’s IDPD series is a tactile walk-through and storytelling session at New Delhi’s Crafts Museum, which has a vast repository of over 30,000 artefacts and displays of more than 5,000 objects such as puppets and bronze sculptures. The session, to be held on December 4, will involve examining the museum’s outdoor gallery through tactile exploration with a group of visually challenged women.
At Mumbai’s Anandi Special School, on December 3, a session on folk tales and an art workshop will be held in order to engage children with intellectual disabilities. Other important events include a discussion in Bhubaneswar, on December 2, focusing on
“Breaking Barriers: Exploring the Odisha State Museum with the Visually Impaired.”
Sahapedia’s IDPD week will conclude at Amritsar’s Partition Museum on December 8, where persons with mobility impairment will engage with oral histories and narratives of partition survivors.
Since last year, Sahapedia has organised and curated over 50 heritage-based events for nearly 2,000 differently-abled persons. These include walking tours, sensory experiences in museums and other spaces that support special needs. The events are conducted in collaboration with expert consultants and organisations that are qualified and equipped to facilitate these programmes.
The user-groups that Sahapedia targets are those of the visually impaired, hearing impaired, wheelchair users, those with intellectual disabilities (learning disability, autism and cerebral palsy), reduced mobility, and slow learners.
For the purpose of enhanced heritage experiences, special toolkits are created, which include tactile recreation of culturally relevant topics and Braille books for the visually impaired.
