Faith & Traditions
Dr. Mir Baiz Khan delves deep into the historical tradition of Navroz, an occasion that the Fatimid Imam-Caliphs recognized as an official public festival of great joy and revelries. It is a national festival in Iran and is celebrated with joy and festivities by communities in Afghanistan, throughout Central Asia, and in South Asia. Though inherited through Zoroastrian Persia, it is the only festival that is not confined to a single religious group. Presented by ITREB Canada.

ITREB UK Ambiguity, Love and Longing in the Urdu ghazal. Ali Sethi in conversation with Professor Ali Asani - 15 August 2020.
This Afsaana 'Jee Aya Saheb' is written by a critically acclaimed writer of the Urdu Language, Saadat Hassan Manto. Manto’s own life mirrored the characters he portrayed in his famous short stories, sketches, and his powerful non-fiction. This Afsana valiantly attempts to raise the impenetrable curtain from a critical societal dilemma. It adequately describes the social evil of the class system of the so-called Elites, who torment and suppress underprivileged servants steering them towards imminent mental disorders.
