Peace – that was the single message in over 200 paintings that were sent by students from cities across India and Pakistan
This year marked the first virtual launch of an annual calendar featuring paintings by students with peace between India and Pakistan as its theme. With the coronavirus pandemic halting in-person gatherings, over a hundred participants attended the online event.
The ninth Indo-Pak Peace Calendar is part of a flagship initiative of Aaghaz-e-Dosti (Start of Friendship), which was launched in 2012 as a joint venture of Pakistan-based The Catalyst of Peace, and India s Mission Bhartiyam (Being Indian). Over 200 paintings from around India and Pakistan were received; all had one message: Peace.
