Dear Sandeep Sahab,

Hope this email finds you well.

It took me quite some time to publish the article I had mentioned to you earlier this month, because I really wanted to register everyone's profound contribution to the dialogue we held, no matter even as a silent participant in the audience. I tried to do my best in gathering any relevant details I could (subject to of course everyone's availability and willingness when I had contacted them).

The article's title is inspired from the very essence of the dialogue we held: 'India and Pakistan:A Conversation That Refused To End', after all the engagement went on for almost four hours, when it had been originally planned to be for two hours only — which goes to only prove that the conversation must not ever stop — whether on a people-to-people level or beyond.

The article's been published by CPNN, Culture of Peace News Network, a news network originally built under UNESCO by my mentor-boss, Professor David Adams who dedicated his life to cultivating a Culture of Peace and pioneered the very idea at UNESCO three decades ago by contributing to replace a traditional military peace-making program with a Culture of Peace program. My article would also be featured on the CPNN's monthly bulletin in a day in August 2026 — coincidentally the very month both countries shall be celebrating their independence.

You can read the article here:

Hoping to hear from you soon and for you to disseminate it, if only you enjoy reading it.

Warm regards,

dear nawal, i'm glad you're writing this. following is the profile of people you asked for and a few others who had joined the meeting besides the speakers and moderators. the open letter to two p.m.s was written by o.p. shah ji. he or his colleague rohinee would be able to provide update on that. however, the signature petition that we initiated after our first meeting of senior activists on 12 june has now fetched 421 signatures in addition to the 61 who initially endorsed it.

Dear Sandeep Saheb,

Hope this email finds you well.

As mentioned in the subject, and (if you have read my recent message in our speakers' WhatsApp group subject to your presence in it), I am considering on publishing two articles, one in an international publication, which is a dedicated news network to the Culture of Peace, known as the Culture of News Network, second is for a local publication in Pakistan, whose media forum is widely followed by readers across the border in India.

In order for these articles to truly do justice to the specific essence that I want to capture in both my potential publications, I would be deeply grateful if you could kindly provide me some profile expansions on high-profile attendees in our webinar such as, Sanjay Gadhalay Sehab, Mazhar Sehab, Shivi Upadhyay to name a few, (and any other if only you deem necessary), in order that my work could become easier.

Secondly, I would also be very grateful if you could provide any valuable insights on the open letter that was written by people from both countries to their premiers and any updates on the status of it as we speak.

Thank you in advance.

Warm regards,

Nawal Amjad
