About the speaker
Mr. Syed Nizammuddin Pasha graduated from NLSIU in 2007. He worked as a Senior Associate in Amarchand Mangaldas, Shroff & Co, Delhi, and later as an Advocate with the Attorney General of India. Presently, he’s a disputes lawyer litigating in the courts in Delhi. He has previously taught a seminar course on Securities Law at NLS for a term in the year 2010 as a visiting faculty. Having appeared in court both for filmmakers and PIL litigants seeking alternative enforcement of the right to freedom of expression and restrictions thereon, he wishes to bring that perspective to the classroom to a discussion on historical records versus creative license.
About the talk
The talk will be delivered on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 10 am to 1:30 pm at OAB 101.
The talk will be within the broad theme of “The Practise of Writing and Rewriting History”. The objective is to show that history isn’t simply what is written in history books. The most powerful way of telling history is through films. Narrations of history through films shape popular discourse and find their way into our collective consciousness, with a claim to being “inspired by true events” and no obligation to adhere to any version of historical facts.
Those interested to attend the talk are requested to watch the film to ensure a meaningful discussion.
