It is a real pleasure to read the message, as under, from Sindhulogy( AIS). I would like to congratulate Koshi Lalwani on her enterprise in coming up with the full length movie - "AWAKENING" - in Singlish (Sindhi and
English -dubbed in Hindi also.). It pleases me that this movie is dedicated to the discovery of the roots of our ancient civilization. I hope it really succeeds financially so that it encourages other Sindhi artists to make cultural offerings.
Sindhis generally do not support cultural causes but I hope they learn to go forward in the field of culture considering their advances in other fields. I am therefore all the more happy to see the last paragraph of AIS Message regarding *A word about AIS and an Urgent Appeal to Artists.**
Koshi has shown courage and outstanding musical talent in singing the Sindhu Song, proving her commitment to culture. Now, as AIS says, this film is a leap forward and proves that she remains dedicated to Sindhi culture - for which we should thank her.
MESSAGE from Sindhulogy@aol.com
AIS has pleasure in announcing the great leap forward by Koshi Lalwani to produce a full-length film titled *"AWAKENING*" in Singlish (sindhi-English) – dubbed in Hindi also - with a heart warming story about our roots in the Sindhu-Saraswati civilization.
Koshi is a highly trained and talented singer, musician and composer; she is not new to taking on complex cultural issues, It will be recalled that earlier under sponsorship of American Institute of Sindhulogy (AIS), Koshi Lalwani burst into world-wide cultural scene with her soulful rendering of the Song of the Sindhu which was originally composed by Karkarta Bharat (elected supreme chief of the Sindhu clan) seven thousand years ago - in 5,000 BCE. She also admirably translated the Song to provide Sindhi and Hindi lyrics with feeling, emotion and sensitivity. The CD on this Song, produced by AIS, became the best seller but to ensure that it reaches every individual, AIS had made the Song freely available to all on its website www.sindhulogy.org
Judging from the reports of film critics and others who have viewed Koshi Lalwani's movie "AWAKENING", it is quite clear that the movie is headed towards great success. The story is entertaining; its music and songs are memorable and its appeal to cultural awareness is moving.
