CHICAGO: American Institute of Sindhulogy (AIS) has applauded Teri McLuhan’s efforts and work in bringing to life and to the big screen the untold story of the great non-violent leader of Pashtun origin – Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, known more popularly as the Frontier Gandhi – in her current award-winning feature documentary , The Frontier Gandhi Badshah Khan : A Torch For Peace
Ms. McLuhan wishes to move forward and create a DVD of the movie for schools throughout the USA, Canada, and South Asia, with a global outreach program to follow. No DVD is available at this time.
In a bid to help Ms McLean realize her dream, AIS plans launching a donation fund for this important cause and hopes to raise $15,000. This would cover the entire cost of the production of a DVD. Making a fervent appeal Dial Gidwany, the AIS President said “I appeal to people from the subcontinent of India who have settled in the USA and who have had the good fortune to realize many aspects of the American dream to put your best instincts forward and become a sponsor of peace and non-violence – so nobly and courageously exemplified by the lives and legacies of our Mahatma Gandhi and his kindred spirit The Frontier Gandhi.”
“We owe it to future generations to reach out creating awareness about this epic and profoundly inspiring story of The Frontier Gandhi. The public support is a primary means of funding for AIS. We cannot operate without your generous donations as AIS is a nonprofit corporation under section 501(c) (4). The Contributions are tax deductible,” he added.
