The Aligarh Muslim University Alumni Association Qatar (AMUAAQ), supported by Bazm e Sadaf international, organised the AMU Alumni International Mushaira 2020 via Zoom application recently.
Attending the event as the chief guest, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Tariq Mansoor said that poetic symposiums are cultural events that teach the language and craft of poetry to the younger generations.
“The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted regular gatherings and events, but people have turned to the digital world to stay connected, and these online events have become the new norm until the virus fades away,” he said. He also thanked the alumni groups for generously supporting the development work in the university.
Prof M M Sufyan Beg, chairman of AMU Alumni Affairs Committee, requested the alumni to give their details for the AMU Alumni Directory, while expressing his happiness to be part of the event. Prof Najmul Islam, honorary secretary of AMU Teachers Association (AMUTA), Dr M Kalimullah, joint secretary of AMUTA, and Dr MS Bukhari, chief patron of AMUAAQ, spoke on the occasion.
Well-known poet and writer Basir Sultan Kazmi (Sadr-e-Mushaira) and Chairman of Bazm-e-Sadaf International Shahabuddin Ahmad said the online event has managed to maintain the ambience of classical mushaira gatherings.
Mohammed Farman Khan, general Secretary of AMUAAQ, started the programme with the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur’an, while COVID-19 precautionary measures were briefed by chief coordinator of AMUAAQ Dr Ashna Nusrat.
In the welcome address, President of AMUAAQ Jawed Ahmad pointed out the importance of using technology for continuing literary activities as people are observing physical distancing. He also spoke about AMUAAQ’s efforts to support the pandemic-hit people in India through food campaigns and extending help to the Indians willing to return home under the ‘Vande Bharat Mission’, among other things.
