Friends, Some of the faculty and and students of IGNOU had visited the the Surajkund crafts fair(ended 15th Feb.2010) which is held on the the way to Faridabad. These pics were sent to us by Dr. S.V. Reddy. The fair is held by the Haryana Tourism. Here the urban and the rural meet spectacularly.This time countries like Thailand, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Egypt and Tajkistan too participated to show their traditional crafts along with the Indian craftsmen/women. In this way a chance for building national and international goodwill and understanding seems to have taken shape.In contrast to the violent past month in India and elsewhere, some shades of harmony were at display at the fair.
