New Delhi,
The National Commissioner for Linguistic Minorities, Prof. Akhtarul Wasey will release the book ‘Suleiman Charitra of Kalyana Malla’ translated from Sanskrit to English by former diplomat, Amb. A.N.D. Haksar, here tomorrow. The function is organized by the National Foundation for Communal Harmony in collaboration with the India International Centre.

Kalyana Malla was an esteemed poet at the court of Lodhi prince Lad Khan in eastern Uttar Pradesh at the beginning of 16th Century. He is known to have composed two still extant works for his princely patron. One of these was Ananga Ranga, and the other a story collection Suleiman Charitra drawn from Islamic and Biblical stories. This marvelous, first-ever English translation of Suleiman Charitra, a delightful Sanskrit rendering of Hebraic and Arabic tales-elegantly brings together flavours from the east and the west.

The Foundation is organizing this event to promote societal harmony, peaceful co-existence and collaboration among different segments of Indian society.
