A literary event titled 'Samvad' was held at a prominent club in Lucknow, which was attended by the literati. The event revolved around the topic 'Indra Sabha', the court of Indra and the rebirth of the 19th century Urdu theatre. The discussion, which was carried on by Afroz Taj and John Caldwell, professors of the University of North Carolina, was Urdu theatre-centric. It dealt with how the Urdu theatre started, who were the torchbearers, how it influences the present theatre scene and in what ways it has affected the Bollywood industry.
