Two Jalandhar writers among Dhahan Prize for Punjabi Literature 2025 finalists
Balbir Parwana and Bhagwant Rasulpuri, both from Jalandhar, and Mudassar Bashir of Lahore have been shortlisted as the 2025 finalists of the Dhahan Prize for Punjabi Literature. Balbir Parwana of Jalandhar was shortlisted as a 2025 finalist of the Dhahan Prize for Punjabi Literature for his novel in Gurmukhi, Rauleyan Vele (In the Time of Unrest). (HT Photo) The finalists of the international literary award that recognises excellence in Punjabi fiction were announced on Wednesday in Surrey by the Canada India Education Society and the University of British Columbia. The stage is now set for one best book of Punjabi fiction to receive $25,000 on November 13, along with two finalist awards of $10,000 each. An additional $6,000 is granted for the transliteration of winning books into Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi. Mudassar Bashir of Lahore in Pakistan Punjab was nominated for his Shahmukhi book, Goyal (Precarious Shelter). This year, the Prize received 55 eligible submissions from India, Canada, Pakistan, Australia, the US and the UK. While Balbir Parwana was shortlisted for his novel in Gurmukhi, Rauleyan Vele (In the Time of Unrest), Bhagwant Rasulpuri was selected for his book of short stories, Delivery Man, also in Gurmukhi. Mudassar Bashir of Lahore in Pakistan Punjab was nominated for his Shahmukhi book, Goyal (Precarious Shelter). Besides penning 15 novels, Parwana is a translator, editor and researcher, well-versed in the history of political movements that have shaped Punjab's culture and politics. At present, he is the editor of the literary section of Punjabi newspaper, Nawan Jamana. Bhagwant Rasulpuri was selected for his book of short stories, Delivery Man, also in Gurmukhi. Rasulpuri has written eight short story collections and two children's books, while the Book Trust of India has published three of his translated works. He founded a monthly literary magazine in 1999, Sur Sanjh, and the quarterly, Kahani Dhara, in 2006. He regularly contributes articles to Punjabi and English newspapers. Bashir is a seasoned journalist, historian, poet and novelist. Among his best know books are Lahore di Vaar, a cultural history of Lahore, Kan Waghay Border, a collection of short stories and the 2019 Dhahan Prize finalist, Kaun (Who). The Dhahan Prize aims to promote new Punjabi literature in both Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi scripts globally. 'Our mission is to celebrate and elevate Punjabi literature on a global stage. By recognising powerful new tales in Punjabi fiction, we aim to inspire readers, support authors, and strengthen cultural connections across borders,' says Barj S. Dhahan, primary founder of the Prize, which was launched in Vancouver in 2013. The Prize reflects British Columbia's longstanding connection to Punjabi people, language, and culture. Punjabi is now the third most spoken language in Canada.

Poetry, music and mountain calls: A night for Nature in the Capital
The beauty of the natural world has long served as a muse for artists — inspiring poetry, music, paintings and even fashion. But in an age where environmental decline is stark, especially in fragile mountain ecosystems, the call to protect it feels more urgent than ever. This was the central theme at an event in the Capital on Tuesday, which brought together conversations, films, poetry and music in celebration of the mountains and the need to safeguard them. Minu Bakshi(Photo: Manoj Verma/HT) The evening marked the launch of Fariyaad: A Plea! — poet-singer Minu Bakshi's latest collection of verses drawn from her deep connection to the outdoors. Her recital was interspersed with thought-provoking discussions, including a talk by Brigadier (retd) Ashok Abbey, veteran mountaineer, who spoke on the pressing challenges facing high-altitude landscapes. This was followed by several talks about nature preservation. In one of the discussions, Brigadier Ashok Abbey, who is also a veteran mountaineer, threw light on the ongoing battle of saving mountains. 'I strongly believe that the issue of climate change is not confined to the borders of nation-states. It is way beyond that. It is often said that for nature to be saved, mountains need to be saved first. The mountains need us and our protection,' he said. A short animated film by filmmaker Shankar Borua further underscored the urgency of conservation efforts. The final fragment of the evening was brought to light by poet-singer Minu Bakshi, who recited several poems and sang songs inspired by the rhythms and moods of nature. She talked about the various facets of nature and sang songs from yesteryear, demonstrating how beautiful it was. 'My poems are a testimony to the theory of the rains and the anguish of the earth. They speak about the beauty that was, the devastation that we have brought, and the hope that still remains,' she said.
