haka, the great Mughal city, will be 400 years old in 2008. Are we prepared to celebrate its birthday?

We should encourage the publishers to bring out good and beautiful (not negative) books, city planners should build a major mosque to celebrate its founding; business people should make the city attractive so that they can bring in trade, jobs and profit; cultural groups and institutions should arrange programmes of lectures, dramas, films, music events and an education programme on city hygiene and culture.

Please do not waste time and spread the news everywhere to start this journey now. And please tell everyone not to call hartal.
