PODCAST | Episode 6 | Kuchh Yaadein, Kuchh Mulaqatein: K A Abbas and Jawaharlal Nehru

Writer, journalist, filmmaker, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas was above all, a communicator of ideas. As a young student and later a journalist, Abbas had a deep admiration for Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Today, when Nehru’s legacy is being framed on social media in an adverse light, we excavate some memories of Abbas’s meetings with Nehru, as described in Abbas’s autobiography. The incidents shed light on the passion and keen eye of Abbas, the journalist, while illuminating some lesser known and scarcely remembered facets of the personality of the first Prime Minister of India. On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Pandit Nehru, the Khwaja Ahmed Abbas Memorial Trust in association with Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, presents a series of podcasts on these meetings between Abbas and Nehru, in an effort to delve into a more personal remembrance of Jawaharlal Nehru. At the end of each episode, we present a poem selected from Amar Jyot, a compendium of poems that pay tribute to Nehru on his death in 1974. In this final episode, KA Abbas describes his last meeting with Nehru. Abbas had been awarded the National Award for Best Film for Shaher aur Sapna in 1963 and requested the statesman to meet him along with his film unit. Nehru meets the members of the unit with great affection. Abbas’ deep sense of loss is palpable when he sees Nehru receding in the distance. His affection and appreciation for Nehru is expressed in the famous obituary titled, ‘Nehru Lives’. The episode is narrated by writer, director, playwright, actor and academician, Dr. Danish Iqbal, an award-winning filmmaker and an alumnus of the National School of Drama. He has directed several plays and has acted in major productions like The Antigone Project, Karna Warrior of the Sun, Andhayug, Aurangzeb, Othello, Gautam Buddha. He is presently working as Assistant Professor and Course Coordinator in Acting in AJKMCRC, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Sahir Ludhianvi’s poem, ‘Jism ki Maut’ has been read by poet and activist, Gauhar Raza, former Chief Scientist Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
