(IBNS): A seven-day exhibition, Insha-e-Darab, based on the rare manuscripts of the famous 20th-century Persian writer, poet and researcher Khawaja Muhammad Amin Darab and rare samples of Kashmiri culture was recently held in Jammu and Kashmir’s capital city Srinagar.
The event was held at Amar Singh Club.
Infotech Kashmir and HELP Foundation jointly hosted the event.
About 73 rare manuscripts of Khawaja Muhammad Amin Darab were exhibited in the exhibition. They also include 11 books. The exhibit includes a chronogram of Neil Armstrong’s moon landing, a congratulatory message from Srinagar businessmen to Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh on his accession to the throne in 1923, and several beliefs of prominent scholars, including Muslim scholars and jurisprudents on death. Maulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri was also involved, reports ANI.
