Dr Kumar Vishwas: The Star of the Evening

Dr Kumar Vishwas captivated the audience with a perfect blend of old and new poetic compositions. His verses, such as:

  Usi ki di hui daulat usi ke naam karta hoon,”

  Magar dharti ki baicheni ko bas baadal samajhta hai,”

    Khud nahi khaunga aur khaane nahi doonga main.”

• Sakshi Tiwari from Lucknow stirred patriotism with her rendition of “Vande Mataram kaho ji... Vande Mataram,” inspiring national pride.
