It’s a very valuable article by Dr.Uma Anantani about Sri Mohan Khokar ji🙏
ReplyDelete“He was indeed a highly respected individual. His vision of documenting art-related matters for future generations is commendable. I also believe that Sri Ashish Khokar, with his strong command of literature and excellent oratory skills, undoubtedly inherits his father’s qualities. My sincere gratitude to the legend who has left behind a wealth of valuable information for all art lovers.”

Mohan ji's "Khokarism" has trickled into the veins of his son, Ashish ji, who is carrying forward his father's legacy in the most dignified and artistic way. Awards are not the only measure of achievements. Mohan Khokhar ji has left for the world such invaluable work in the field of arts which many can't even achieve in multiple lifetimes!
ReplyDeleteVery well written blog. Sri Mohan Khokhar, a great scholar, was born to serve the Art forms of India and left a treasure for the future generations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ashish ji for your contributions.
