Shah Jahan--3 day urs

Shah Jahan, Mughal emperor from 1628-1658, is known for building the Taj Mahal. His three-day urs, that takes place every year began on 5 June.
The graves of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal are washed, sandalwood and flowers offered and prayers recited. Entry to the Taj is free during these special days.
Urs is a term in Islam for a death anniversary, though it literally means 'wedding'. Usually urs are celebrated for Sufi saints, whose death can be considered union with god.
Thousands of people attend Shah Jahan's urs. This year a 450 metre chadar [cloth] has been offered, woven by people of different communities, a symbol of peace.

Polish Children in India---1942

During the Second World War, 5000 Polish children came as refugees to India. A documentary on this, Little Poland in India,will soon be released. The children were orphans, evacuated from Poland to Siberia during the war. They reached India in 1942 and lived in special camps, returning to Poland later.One such camp was set up by K S Digvijaysinhji, the maharaja of Jamnagar in Gujarat. He looked after the children as a father would. There were other camps in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Most of the children were said to be Roman Catholics.
The film is based on records and on the memories of the now grown-up children.
