Highlighting the need for globalisation of art and aesthetics, Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice-Chancellor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University, observed that art and aesthetics are dying and there is a need to sustain art through globalisation.

 

Presiding the Inaugural Session of the Three-day International Conference on “Voices of India and Beyond: Mobility, Sustainability, and Technology,” Prof. Hasan quoted the Persian poet, Saad Shirazi’s famous couplet “ If the musk you possess, be not real, do not tell!/If it is, it will make itself known by the smell,” and encouraged the youth to preserve the real fragrance by exploring the world of aesthetics through writing. Reiterating the message of the Conference, he emphasized the need to explore how communities can reclaim their identities and histories through languages. 

 

Prof. K. Nagendra, Head, Department of English, MANUU, welcomed the audience.
