Sundarayya Centenary Celebrations

India Today: Looking Back, Looking Forward

On the occasion of the birth centenary of P. Sundarayya, a freedom fighter, communist and above all an individual who had given utmost importance to collecting facts and understanding them for political praxis, we feel it prudent to organise a seminar in his memory to comprehensively discuss and debate issues concerning the present, past and future of our country.
