Mohammed Ali and Shuanna Rodrigues along with Fida Hussain Yamani who are students in Columbia helped to arrange it. I’m extremely grateful to them for that.

It was very well attended with attendees including Prof Frances Pritchett and Prof David Levyveld.

I presented a slide show and described the various cities through their monuments.

An excellent Q&A session followed.

Later Prof David Levyveld said that my translation of Asar us Sanadid was good and he enjoyed it, which has me on seventh heaven
