A RARE FOOTAGE OF AN IMPORTANT CHUGHTAI EXHIBITION SHOW

It is 31st December, 1968, and the inauguration of the book AMAL-E-CHUGHTAI is about to take place. Field Marshal Ayub Khan flew specially from Islamabad to inaugurate it at Alhamra Lahore. A valid tribute from the President of Pakistan, as it was his last public appearance. We remember it with great love and honour.  Enjoy it too!

  1. Chughtai Sahib on video at many places. But hardly any cooperated in giving us a copy. Most would be lost. Shireen Pasha documentary for P.T.V could be there. Others may be found. Government of Pakistan also made many films. Perhaps preserved somewhere. A Russian and Japanese team made it too. Mervyn Marshall made it for Burmah Shell.
    This one is home made by Arif Rahman Chughtai myself.

  2. Forgotten one important film for BBC by Yvonne Charpentier for World of Islam Festival, mainly Morning Star.
