Akademi
awards for Wadali brothers, Mangal Dhillon, Ajmer Aulakh Chandigarh, January 31 The executive committee of the Punjab Sangeet Natak Akademi, headed by Mr Jaspal Bhatti, cleared the names at a meeting held in the city recently. The secretary of the akademi, Prof Rajpal Singh informed that Prof Ajmer Aulakh was chosen for his contribution to the world of Punjabi drama. Professor Aulakh, now settled in Mansa, runs a theatre group called Lok Kala Manch, that stages plays about social realities. Professor Aulakh has written intensively to highlight the plight of agrarian society. His outstanding works include ‘Begane Bohad Di Chhaan’, ‘Ik Ramayan Hor, ‘Churiwala Kotha’ and ‘Anne nishanchee’. Among those nominated for the award in the category of drama were Kewal Dhaliwal, Gurcharan Chani, Atmajit Singh, Ravinder Pipat, Vijay Tandon, Mangal Dhillon, Manmohan Singh and others. Balbir Sekhon was a unanimous choice when it came to deciding upon someone from the field of Punjabi folk dance. A contemporary of Manohar Deepak, Balbir Sekhon is credited with mooting the first ‘presentation’ bhangra troupe. In the early 1950s he used to represent the Punjabi folk team at the Republic Day celebrations. His contribution to the revival of other folk dance forms like jhoomer, luddi and dhamaal is also significant. Balbir Sekhon, at present settled in Patiala, was chosen over other nominees which included Master Harbhajan, Navtej Singh Johar, Pammi Bai, Inderjit Singh, Prabhsharan Kaur and Narender Nindi. The choice in the classical music category naturally fell on the Wadali brothers, who are consistently working their way up the ladder of success, without ever having compromised on the quality of their music. Votaries of simple and plain living, Puran Chand and Pyarelal Wadali are now the brightest stars shining in the sky of Sufiana qalaam. Their inimitable style has placed them over other nominees of the order of Jagjit Singh, Barkat Sidhu, Harbhajan Mann, Kamaljit Neeru, Bakar Hussain, Puran Shahkoti, Sukhi Brar, Muhammad Siddique, Bhai Avtar Singh and Jagjit
Zirvi. |
