DANKA Newsletter - The Observer




Dear Lahore Culture Observers,


 Our imaginary friend Prof. Dr. Dr. Hafeez Khan is observing culture in Lahore. He is a scholar from Oxford and wears a Dhoti. On his motorbike he drives to  GCU to hold a lecture on the societies of Lahore, the cultures and the peoples, everything in plural.



"We observe different cultural classes and peoples looking up or down on each other. One class for example is the Punjabi Card Game culture. People playing  Bhabi Tullah are classified as low. People who play Chess are more up, Mini-Golfers even more and XL-Golfers top.
We can observe these classes in every cultural field. L ook at stage plays vs. English drama, look at dance events in Hiranmandi vs. dance at a big
international festival, tabla concerts in the old city or  at the Gymkhana Club. Classes are observed to be classified in respect to the colour of the artist, the premises of the event, the colour of the audience or  the sponsors. We observe classes in our own house, our own family, outside and everywhere. Observation is the auntie of knowledge."



Observe your cultures,

 Your Danka Team

Danka is the website on which everybody is offered to announce free of cost ongoing events. Danka's objective is not to provide any kind of critics or judgement on the quality of the registered event. Our task is to get the widest range of cultural activity registered on the site, and promote the culture in its purest form amid the Lahoris by also offering a cultural picture data base, online forums and discussions on culture and related issues.
