Young Kashmiri artists seek to reinvent calligraphy
Irtiqa Bazaz, in (IIOJK), was about 10 when she started learning the art of calligraphy
SRINAGAR:
Irtiqa Bazaz, in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), was about 10 when she started learning the art of calligraphy on her own.
Years later, the 21-year-old has chosen the art form as a profession. She is pursuing a degree in applied arts from a local university in the Kashmir region and wants to master calligraphy and paintings. When I was very young, I used to imitate the Quranic verses on my school notebook but as time passed I developed an interest in this art and started working on it, she said.

AGRA: The largest body of historians in the country, the Indian History Congress (IHC), has objected to the proposed changes of school textbooks, saying that it is being done for political, not academic, reasons.
At the beginning of the year, the Rajya Sabha secretariat had notified that a change in school textbook curriculum would be discussed by a parliamentary standing committee. In what it called a “reform”, it said the focus would be on removing “unhistorical facts” and “distortions about our national heroes”, and on ensuring “equal or proportionate references to all periods of Indian history”. Public responses were invited till June 30 and the deadline was later extended till July 15, when the IHC sent its response.
