Daniel Connell, an artist from Adelaide Australia met Lakhvir Singh in a Taxi… a chance meeting. He was touched by the gentle manner of Lakhvir Singh and the nobility in his personality. Lakvir drives a Taxi in Australia to sustain his studies for which he came to Australia. The whole discourse motivated Daniel enough to visually express the Sikh Community in Australia.

A regular visitor to India, Connell is also bowled over by Indian hospitality and graciousness. Back in his hometown, Adelaide, his artwork is being appreciated and the drawings are being perceived as a celebration of local history and cross-culture friendship. The project has won a prize from the University of South Australia and a short film on it is being made by the Australia Network Television Arts Program. It will be screened next year in 44 countries across Asia, including India.

The portraits have been sketched with charcoal on paper. Reflecting a sense of immediacy, the life-size mixed media work, with masking tape, projects the vulnerability of these people, the challenges faced and the obstacles that they need to overcome. This series of 5, 3m x 1.75m portrait drawings makes the portraits larger than life and intends to capture something of their bold and heroic faces. They are drawn with an energy and honesty reflecting empathy between artist and subject.

still lookinggg jinahh's speech so v can imagine ther way behind to india  :D: :D:

he state-run All India Radio (AIR) has told the BBC that it does not have any recordings of the 1947 speech by Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Pakistan's state-run broadcaster asked AIR for the historic speech in which Jinnah had said people could follow any religion without state interference.

Jinnah had addressed the Constituent Assembly on 11 August 1947, three days before the creation of Pakistan.

Pakistani officials said they had first contacted the BBC for the speech.

Murtaza Solangi, the director general of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation, told Press Trust of India that the British broadcaster was unable to locate it in its extensive archives.

"I had received a call from Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation asking for a recording done on a certain date, but we don't have the tape with us," AIR director general LD Mandloi told the BBC.

"We will inform the Prasar Bharati [Indian government broadcasting authority] and it is up to them to take it forward and inform Pakistan," he said.

Earlier, Mr Solangi had told PTI: "This [Jinnah] speech is very important for people who want to direct the country [Pakistan] to the goal of a modern, pluralistic, democratic state."

In the speech, Jinnah is reported to have said: "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan.

"You may belong to any religion or caste or creed, that has nothing to do with the business of the state."

Mr Solangi says in 1947, radio stations in what is now Pakistan did not have proper recording facilities and hence they do not have a copy of the historic speech.
